The shipments from the Dold docks
yesterday were very good, there being
several cars Of straight contract produce
sent out besides & heavy output Of mixed
pacing house products and express
trade. The butterine shipments took N
points all over the southwest and ranged

A lively interest is being manifested
among all the stock yards contingency
in the coming annual meet of the Okla
homa Live Stock association, which will
be held at Woodward. the home of the
association, from February 18th TO the
14th. For several years Wichita has had
a strong representation at this import
over the west from Denver TO Chicago,
and this year they propose 10 make their
showing one a credit TO the city, to the
Union stock yards, and the several COM
mission firms doing business at the Ex-
change. 1t Is hoped to get enough to
make up two special Pullman cars, which
will mean hfty-six people, twenty-eight
to the car, and considering the import
ance Of the Oklahoma stock shipping
business TO Wichita, this ought to be
easy. A one-fare rata win probably be
made on the railroads and a very nomi-
nal charge Of five dollars for the Pull
man service, which means complete use
of the cars from the minute they leave
Wichita on the morning of the 18th ali
through TO the time they return after T.
IS all over This is a rare opportunity
to travel IN comfort and have all the
comforts and conveniences while at
Woodward, being thus independent and
avoiding the crush of hotels. Yesterday
Mr. Fred Dold received samples of
badges for the official badge to be worn
By the Wichita delegation. and it now
only remains for every one intending to
go to so declare themselves that # may
be determined how much Pullman space
to reserve. This should be done at once
and every one make 1t a personal effort
to boom this matter so that Wichita can
swell out along with Chicago. st. Louis.
St Joseph Kansas City, Omaha and
Denver. all Of whom will have heavy rep
resentadon at the convention, and
Wichita being closest to the Oklahoma
stock interests, should be most in evil
dence.
