Eli Titus. the general live stock agent
for the Santa Fe system. is enthusiastic
over the manner In which Wichita ham
| died the crowds in the city during the
convention. Mr.. Titus stated that he
wanted the privilege of saying that
! Wichita should be complimented. and
/ that while ne did not wish to make odious
comparisons of what other places had
/ done or might do in the future 10 enter
| tain great meetings, that the hospitality
| Of Wichita should be remembered by
every visitor TO the cattlemens meeting.
/ Not only had Wichita shown herself viii
/ ling 10 give hearty welcome TO her
guests. but Wichita has proved that she
| has hotel capacity TO entertain a crowd
that might tax the capacity OF a larger
city to its utmost limit Mr.. Titus wishes
| particularly TO pay a tribute 10 his
| many friends for their kindly attentions.

pliment 10 the interests which he repre-

Wichita merchants are pleased with the
amount OF business done in the city dur
ing the convention. In this respect Il is
said that larger amount OF business
has been done here in proportion 10 the
during street fair times. The effect on
the city. aside from financial matters. IS
hard 90 estimate. The cattlemen have
given Wichita an indication of what the
practical side Of life is. The men repre-
senting the various parts OF Oklahoma
and Kansas are of the sturdy. moral type
which accomplishes things without any
unnecessary talk. No class OF men so
iourning I'm the city for the same length
Of time have so impressed the people Of
this city with personal worth and integ-
rity as have the cattlemen. They are
plain, practical people who realize the
value 70 be placed on men and things.

fact you have laid down the daily cares
and have spent your time IN looking after
these delegates We all appreciate these
things. and If I had very much 70 say
about the placing Of the convention. I
would ike TO see Wichita have u II

suited in much good % the people OF the
