no live stock men left today over the
Rib Grand Western bound for the
great live stock convention at Fort
Worth, Texas. What will make II
more pleasant for all concerned a great
many Of the cattle and sheep kings take
their wives along with them.
Such congregation Of livestock men
was seldom seen as that at the Rio
Grande Western depot just before the
2'iO train pulled out. It was a jolly
crowd as well, and all were looking for
ward TO successful meeting. The
train carrying the delegates was COM
posed Of three special sleeping cars
which were attached TO the Rio Grande
Western regular train. When the party
reach Pueblo the seepers will be at
tached to special going over the Col
orado Southern, and pushed through TO
the Texan metropolis. At the head OF
the party is the venerable president OF
the Live Stock association, Mr.. Jesse
Smith OF Davis county This gentle
man carries with him cordial endorse
ments from the Governor OF Utah; the
Mayor and City Council of Salt Lake
City to the national convention to hold
their next meeting in this city. In ad-
dition to this the First Presidency OF
the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter
day Saints have generously rendered
the use OF the Assembly Hall in which
to hold the convention.
President Smith says that he has the
support OF the Montana, Idaho, Nevada,
Wyoming and Oregon delegations and
said that he felt sure that when they
returned II would be settled that Salt
Lake would get the convention.
Most OF the delegates are composed OF
sheep men, the cattle men being fewer
in numbers from all the near by States,
and II Is predicted that some strong
resolutions Will be passed. This, and the
hope Of bringing the convention back
with them causes this delegation TO be
the largest yet sent out Of Utah.
