The memorial of the National Live
stock association, of Chicago, to con-
gress praying for extension of time of
carrying cattle in transit from twenty
eight to forty hours without unloading
was Endorsed.
The resolution introduced at the
Rapid City stockgrowers convention by
the South Omaha stockyards, asking
for an extension of the time in which
inspectors. might make their inspec-
tons was turned down emphatica1ly.
Mr.. Clay, of Chicago was on hand
and roasted the resolution till 1T
smoked.
He said cattle shipped to the yards
could be there indefinitely, losing
weight for the owners. 1t was only a
scheme for the inspectors and the
stockyards company to fleece the
shipper, The dissent to the resolu-
ton was unanimous and vigorous.
A protest to the governors of Wyom-
ing and Colorado against holding cat
tie in transit unnecessarily for state
inspection when they had clear bill
from federal inspection was ordered
sent.

The Frat resolution to change the
place of meeting was now declared in
order and after a number of motions
had been made John M. Holt moved

tinuing at Miles City.

bill was also taken up and the asso-
citation decided to favor the leasing of

ions must be inserted to protect the
