PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 1.-THE
business session Of the National Live
stock convention opened this morning
in Baker theater. There was a large
attendance of stockmen, and the busi-
ness OF the convention was taken up
with zest that promises the accom-
punishment OF much work. A good por-
ton of the morning was devoted to
the consideration Of the livestock con-
ditions in various states, short ad-
dresses being made by members Of
the executive committee. The feature
of the session was the fiattering an
nual report of Secretary Charles f.
Martin.
Secretary Charles F Martin. in his
annual report, gave a detailed stale
ment as to what had been done dur
Ing the past year, what the stockmen
desire in the future. and the condition
of the organization. Several now
memberships had been secured, but
because of nnfavorable conditions the
number was not as large as in pre-
vious years.
The hill providing for Federal in
spection of all Interstate shipmens OF
livestock had passed the senate and
become q law, but all the other meas
ures pending before the last congress
had failed of passage because Of the
deadlock In the senate over the Pan
anna canal and statehood bills. The
bill providing for q classified census
Of livestock had been re-introduced.
as had the Anti Shoddy bill. and the
one providing for the extension of the
time limit for unloading livestock in
transit west of the one hundredth
meridian, and that requiring transpor-
tation companies to haul livestock at
a minimum of twenty miles an hour.
The stocknlen, Secretary Martin
said. while not opposed to the protec-
tion of the forests, have decided
and pronounced objection to the pol
icy which has been adopted by the
interior department regarding forest
reserves. particularly 70 the segrega-
ton Of vast areas OF grazing and agri-
cultural lands as a portion of these
reserves. and the issue Of orders ex.
Guiding livestock from grazing there
on. This matter has grown to such
proportions that II something Is not
done very soon, the Industry in sever
