woodward, 0. T., Feb 1.-THE thriving
range city Of woodward is gradually
quoting down after the stirring scenes Of
the past week and every one is more
than pleased with every feature of the
splendid results. There we're probably
two thousand strangers in the town dur
ing the session Of the convention. both
members Of the association and others,
either directly or incidentally interested
in some Of the many phases Of the great
cattle industry. Every one CT these was
eloquent in his praise Of the fine treat
nent extended by the progressive and
hospitable citizens of Woodward, and
the guests and visitors win long remem-
Der the seventh annual convention. All
the officers Of the association were indie
fatiguable in their efforts to make it all
a success and they feel they were repaid
for these efforts by the actual success
and the warm appreciation Of those they
served
The actual work Of the convention was
also something that was unusually inter
esung, instructive, and borne of practical
results The selection of Wichita for
the meeting Of the 1901 convention gives
universal satisfaction, not only TO the
majority of the membership but to those
who expect TO attend from abroad. The
several Oklahoma cities which were after
it put UP a splendid fight but always
good natured and when defeated took
their vanquishment smilingly AS a

sent a large and enthusiastic represen-
tation. the past two years in their own
special car, and they have always lent a
hand in every way possible to assist in
making the conventions a success, Then,
too, the membership of the ASSOCIATION
is not by any means confined to Okla
hona, as Kansas, Texas and other sister
states have members. But be it to the
credit of the Peerless Princess delegation
that they emphatically declare that they
are not in the gobble up business. They
simply want the chance Of returning
courtesies extended and show how well
they ca nentertain when given the oppor-
uuity to do so. They say they viii
only too willingly exert their influence
next year to returning the convention TO

viii be q common meeting ground for
cattle men for a radius OF a large feeding
country and viii tend to unite moro in
separately than ever the already cordial
relations between Oklahoma and wichita,
between woodward and Wichita, and be-
tween the Oklahoma Livestock associa-
ton and Wichita
The railroads in making one fare rate
also assisted very materially in the sue
cess Of the meeting. nd thanks is due
them, and specially given to the Santa
re. Rock Island. the Choctaw, Fort
Worth and Denver, and the Pecos Valley
roads, and especially so to Superinten-
dents II. A. Tice and Wlseman for devot-
ing unsparingly their time and attention
to their part Of the work.
The Wichita crowd with their own
special standard ullman car made great
hit and made themselves known. A finer
more well conducted set of gentlemen are
rarely gathered together, and their leader
Mr.. Fred Dold, Wichita manager for that
house. of the great Jacob D0ld acking
COMPANY, always popular and admired by
Woodward citizens. outdid himself, not
only in seeing 10 1t that his own party
were well looked after, but in his devo-
uon to all matters pertaining 70 the good
Of the convention and the association. He
was showered with concentrations for
his own personal efforts and those OF his
delegation in securing the next conven-
ton at his home city Wichita and her
fine set Of convention attendants VIII al
ways be welcomed at Woodward when
ever they may come and the citizens Of
this city viii always retain pleasant
memories Of their visit this time ana hold
