THINGS WARMING UP
Lively Scenes at the Livestock
Headquarters.
MEETING OF WOOL MEN
TWO DAYS SESSION OF THEIR
CONVENTION.

The whirl is on for the National Live
stock convention. The headquarters Of
the citizens committee in the Progress
building is the storm center of the
growing enthusiasm. and every man
and woman about the place was prae-
ticing perpetual motion Yesterday in
trying to keep ahead of the work that
rolls in upon them in Increasing vol
ume. Letters and kilograms from every
point on the compass and from every
state. from California To the farthest
east, continue to Pour in, and they are
all of the same tenor. Delegations
that ordered one and two rooms re
served at the start are now trying to
get SIX, each delegation seems TO want
the most conspicuous suite OF rooms in
the city, and each delegation wants its
headquarters decorated just a little
more gOrgeOusly than any other in the
city.
The Room Problem.
The committees are all at work hard
under the whip and spur of J. <. Leary.
Every possible effort is being made TO
secure good rooms close to the business
district for every stranger who visits
the city next week. This in itself is q
StupendOus task. Conservative men
connected with the convention work es-
innate the number of people who viii
be in salt Lake from the outside next
week at from 1000 to S,00G. After all
the hotels and rOoming houses are
filed, and after citizens take in all the
friends and relatives that they can ac-
COmmGdate there viii still be very
many people to be taken care of. The
problem is to locate these in private
houses where they Will be well cared
for and be not too far away from the
convention hall
The people of the city are just begin
ming to realize fully the magnitude of
the coming convention. and the head
quarters are sWamped with members of
the various committees who want in
and with people who just
drop in to make suggestions There are
few buster men in Utah than Secretary
Martin, and the amount of correspond
enCe that passes through his hands in
the course Of the day is surprising.
Wool Growers Convention.
The most important event Of yester-
day was the receipt of a letter by Jesse
NJ Smith, president Of the Titan Wool
Growers association. from Frank J.
Benedict of Boston, vice presi-
ers association, informing him that
the convention of that organi-
cation. which is to follow Immediately
after the adjournment of the National
Livestock convention in this city, VIII

was at first thought This first con
ventiOn viii close on Friday evening
with the smoker given by the Elks of
this city: the Wool Growers cOnVen-
ton viii convene Saturday morning
and will continue through Monday.
This arrangement viii hold very many
Of the visitors in the city over Sunday.
and no doubt they viii be well cared
for in the way of special services. y
prOgI amme OF unusual interest to ali
sheep men viii be presented at this
last convention. and a number of the
best thinkers in the sheep industry win
be on hand to take part in the deiib-
erationS of the convention.

'ated prominent hotels for central
gathering places for the subdivisions,
