''Upon receipt of the call for the Ma

we issued commissions to as many of
our members as were willing to attend,
numbering some fifteen in all, and at
that convention an assessment of $125
was levied against this association,
which was agreed to by our delega-

annual dues OF $50 to the national as

Sixteenth Annual Convention
Of Eastern Montunu Xoolgrow-|
ers Meet at Miles City With
Good Attendunce-Old Officers
Reelected.

The sixteenth annual convention of
the Eastern Montana Woolgrowers as
ISOLATION met in the Leighton hall at
Miles City, Monday. 1t was just 1913
when Chairman Wiley called the meet
ing to order and announced that he
as president had nothing special
to say at that time. There we're sew
era1 matters of interest that would
come up during the meeting that he
would speak of.
Secretary James M. Calvin then
called the roll. The annual report of
the secretary of the association was
read, contents being as follows:
Report of the Secretary.
''Gentlemen-In submitting this re-
port to the sixteenth annual conven-
tion of the fockmasters of eastern
Montana, your secretary would state
in the premises that it is believed there
is no country in the world where the
sheep industry is more prosperous
than the territory within the jurisdic-
ton of this association-Custer Daw-
son and Rosebud counties. There is
more free, open range here and more
exempt from disease than in any other
vicinity. Not a single case of scab is
known at the present time. There has
not for years, it is said, been such fav-
orable indications of an exceptionally
heavy Ur khn
season.
Prices Good.
'Prices, notwithstanding many pro-
phecies to the contrary are still re-
markably good for all classes of sheep,
though the relative value of breeding
stock compared with wethers is not
quite so strong.
"The association now has thirty
eight members in good standing and
quite d number of others who have
simply neglected to pay their dues
during the year.
''The annual membership fees of
$500 is so significantly small that it is

who regard themselves members. The
secretary urges that all make it d
point to pay the fee now before leaving
this convention. These thirty eight
members represent at the present time
something over 225.OOO head of sheep,
though perhaps nearly double that
number are represented at this con-
vention.
Question of Rewards.
During the year the executive COM
mittee has held two meetings and
these were precipitated by the action
of the last annual convention relating
to the Offering of certain cash rewards
for the conviction of any persons max
ing depredations upon the property of
the members of the association,
matter which the convention virtually
referred to the judgment of the execu-
tive committee.
SIN attempting to evolve the ideas
Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1902-04-17


mite first concluded that it was
neither practical or consistent to offer
rewards of large amounts until the
funds necessary to pay such rewards
in case demanded had either been paid
into the treasury of the association or
subscribed by responsible persons.
Letter to Woolmen
"Preliminary, therefore to the off
cial publishing of any offers of re-
ward, the secretary sent to all the
sheep owners in eastern Montana, a
letter requesting each to become MEM
bers of the association and to sign an
agreement to pay to the association
upon demand, to the executive COM
mittee a sum equivalent to not more
than two cents per head of sheeep
owned as shown by the various assess
ment rolls, which money if called for
was to be expended at the discretion
of the executive committee in any man.
ner they might deem necessary for the
lawful protection Of the property of the
members of the association. ~
''The condition of this agreement
was that it should be void until signed
by members aggregating a representa-
ton of not less than two hundred and
fifty thousand sheep. The commune
cation was responded to promptly by
large number of the inf 1uential sheep
growers of Dawson, Custer and Rose
bud counties, and the secretary now
the agreement which represent prob
ably one hundred and fifty thousand
sheep on the assessment rolls of 1901
not sufficient to meet the condition in
terposed in the agreement, but sufi-
cent to prove that had there been any
persistent effort made to secure the
balance or had there been any renewal
of the range conditions which brought
about the action, the full quota would
have been promptly secured and that
the sheepmen would and will stand
the lawful protection of their property
and in prosecuting those who attempt
depreciation.
''Here the matter rests with the ex-
ecutive committee, while no rewards
have yet been offered officially, nor
any amount expended for the convic-
ton of any persons who have committed
unlawful depredations the preliminary
action of the last convention has doubt
less had the moral effect and the as
sociation has shown it's readiness to
subscribe sufficient funds in case of
emergency.
Anicable Feelings.
cit is worthy of note that since the
above action and since the Selway af-
fair of over year ago there has been
no serious eruption of feeling between
the sheep and cattle interests and it is
known that in at least some instances
range disputes have been amicably
settled by agreement between the par
ties whereby neither will encroach up
on the rights of territory of the other.
''And it is the opinion of some at
least that range quarrels between fair
minded men can and will be largely
avoided in the future by agreements of
this nature. The trouble which is
probably causing most agitation at the
Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1902-04-17


present time is that of the right of
settlers to fence government land and
of the right to fence ones own land if
by SO doing he inadvertently encloses
any government land. This question
will doubtless come before the presen,
convention for discussion.
Though annually contemplated this
association has not yet regularly al
lied itself with any of the numerous
stock associations though with some it
is thought we would be placed in
closer touch with the rational legisla-
ture. Membership fee in the National
Livestock association was paid some
time since, but through lack of action
on the part of this association and the
executive committee the annual dues
have not been paid and our right to
membership in that organization is
now probably matter of question.
Respectfully,

MANY CATTLEMEN ARE PRESENT


ed at any morning session of the Mon
tana Stockmen's association in recent
years was present at the opening Tues
day at Miles City. A good many of
the oldtimers were there, as we'll as the
constantly increasing additions of new
members. 1t is not the first time that
a resolution to change the meeting place
from Miles City has been made and the
rumor of an expected revival of the ef-
fort has been unanimously persistent
and by the shifting of the centre of the
cattle industry 10 a point further west
in the state has not been without good
reason for it's advocacy.
Therefore, there was not much SUR
pr Use manifested when, just as a re-
cess was being called, David Fratt in
trodVHed resolution to amend tn con-
stitution to read that the meeting should
be held in Helena in 1908, future meet
ing places to be determined Ly maj
ority vote taken at the meeting.
The meeting was opened by Presi
dent Joseph Brown, who said that he
had intended to make speech, as was
probably expected of him, but as Mr..
Simpson was going to speak in the af-
ternoon, he would defer to him. The
roll was then called and the minutes of
the last meeting read and approved.
The annual report of Secretary
Treasurer w. G. pruitt was then read,
which is as follows:

adopted at the twelfth annual conven-
tion of this association, the board of
stock commissioners has annually en-
ployed an accountant to audit the as
sociation accounts, and his report will
be read during the session.
''Our membership still shows consid-
cradle gain, for while we have lost sew
eral members by death and resigna-
tion, yet about thirty new names have
been approved by themembership COM
mittee during the year, report of same
to be presented at this meeting, so tnat
the net gain will be perhaps eighteen
or twenty members. Sine our last
brand book, or supplement, was issued,
we have made SO great an increase in
membership that we shall probably
have to take action at this meeting to-
ward the publication of complete
new brand book for the association.
Our finances are in splendid condition,
so we will not be hampered in that res
pect.

In the afternoon session all officers
and an execu i've committee were re-
elected as follows:

Lindsay, second vice president: S.

c. Cotter, executive committee.
AS to shearing, it Seemed the gen
eral impression that the present rate
of cents with board, or cents with
out board, was too high, and f. d.
O'Neill introduced a resolution that as
it was too late to alter the scale this
year, the association should work for
the reduction to cents with board
next year, and Z cents without. The
motion was adopted

buyers was discussed but no action
was taken. Gases were cited when

The handling of the wool last year
at the warehouse came in for a roast,
