We have received from Chas. i.

Of interest TO our readers:
According to the action Of the fourth
annual convention Of the National
Live stock Association in salt Lake
city. the next annual meeting is to be
held in Chicago during the first part
of December. As the international
Live Stock Exposition is to be held
in Chicago at the same time, an un-
usually large gathering Of stockmen
from all sections OF the country Is as
surcd, and ms this will probably be the
last meeting Of this association so tar
east for some time 10 come, the OcCa-
sions will undoubtedly be embraced by
those members Of the association In
the far east to get in touch with tho
work being done. II is expected to
he the greatest meeting OF stockmeh
ever held in this or any other country.

hCation before placed on the market;

are causing an alarming increase In

Ever since the organization Of this
association there has been more or less
comment over the fact that the CON
stitution provided for the same repre-
sentation for sheep as for cattle, re-
CARELESS OF the great disparity in
value. Notwithstanding the fact that
the shecpmen were allowed one dele
gate for each 10000 head OF sheep,
while the cattlenCn were allowed only
an equal representation, these two
branches Of the great industry have
thus far labored together In the great
est harmony, giving and taking in
their efforts to work the greatest good
for the creates: number. AS there has
lately been an effort on the outside
TO create dissatisfaction and dissen-
sion, the wool growers OF Idaho, Wy
oming and Utah, in order to remove
any possible obstacle to the advance
ment OF this great organization, have
voluntarily proposed n change in the
constitution, and at the Chicago meet
Ing In December the following amend
ment will be proposed by the sheep
men:
THAT article ". section 1, OF the
constitution, be amended so as to read
, as follows:
! Section /. Each state and terri
fnri.1 ranua aCtnriatInu 30 cattla anh

D each 10000 head of stock represented
