E~ncampment River Fast
Becoming Muddy
Ditch.
! STATEMENT OF FACTS
From . Prominent Citizen Of Eneamp-
msnt, Who Says That Amount CT
Damage Being Done 10
Serious.

In conversation with a promi.
nent citizens of Encampment, who
was in Saratoga this week the
question of an appropriation to
continue the work of the fish
hatchery located on Spring creek
was mentioned, and this gentle
man said:
"There is no question but the
fish hatchery is an important item
but what good will a hatchery be
to this section of country if we
are going to make the two main
streams, Encampment and the
Platte river uninhabitable for fish?
That is a rather strong statement
but it is a fact that unless some
thing is done, and done shortly
the Encampment river and the
Platte, below where the Encamp-
ment enters into it, will be totally
unfit for fish to live in. The tail
ings from the smelter at Encamp-
ment are allowed to run directly
into the river, and when you fig
ure that from $50 TO 800 tons of
ore a day-some of it not over
3 per cent.-was run through
ike smelter last summer and fall
some idea of the amount of dam
age can be estimated"
1t has been generally under
stood that the tailings from the
Encampment smelter were flumed
across the river into settling tanks.
and when asked concerning this
our informant said:
THAT was done for a time last
spring. The company purchased
a strip of land on the opposite
side of the river for that purpose,
but along in the summer it was
abandoned, the company claiming
that it required too much extra
power to force the tailings up into
the fume, SO the refuse was al
lowed to run into the river. | will
venture to say there is from three
to six inches of slime on the bot
tom of the river from the smelter
nearly to the Platte, and many of
the larger holes have three and
four feet of slime in them.
From one of the ptettiest
streams in the country the En-
campment river is becoming a
second Clear Greek in Colorado,
which is now nothing but a muddy
ditch, where, before mill tailings
were emptied into it was one of
the most beautiful mountain
streams in the west.
II believe there is a law on our
statute books regulating mills and
shelters, but it seems that in order
to enforce it some of us must enter
suit against the company. This a
man of moderate means cannot
afford to do, and for fear of being
accused of not fostering enter
prises within her boundaries the
state allows a corporation to do
damage that is almost beyond
repair. The smelter is now closed
down until next spring, and by
that time It is hoped some action
may be secured which will prevent
any further damage, but it is well
to agitate this matter now.
"To the old timers in the En-
campment valley, who have spent
years of energy and no small
amount of money to make it what
it is-one of the most prosperous
ranching sections in the country

Proposed Plan Of Re-or-
ganization at Next
Meeting.
TO Be NATIONAL IN SCOPE
Each Branch to be Represented BY . Com
mittes--central Committee to be
Composed Of q Hsmbsr from
Each Branch Committee.

The committee appointed by
President Hagenbarth of the Ma
tional Live Stock Association, to
prepare details of a plan for reor-
ganization of the association at
the Denver meeting, week of JAN
uary 9, have developed a plan,
which will be presented to the con-
vention. 1t provides for a radical
change from the present organic
alton.
1t is desirable hat the new Or
ganization should be actually and
literally national in scope 1t is
proposed to base the organization
upon the various branches or in
terests of the industry regarding
each branch as a unit, and the rep
resentation of each branch will
be regarded as representing the
whole of that branch or interest.
The primal representation of
each branch will be through a
committee to be selected by those
interested in that branch. This
committee will he known as the
General Committee" of the
branch selecting it. 1t will be Sc
lected and organized as those in
terested may determine. Each of
these General Committees will
have full authority to represent
the branch of interest appointing
it, but its executive authority vii
be- confined to it's own branch of
the industry.
The sole executive authority of
the National Association will be
confined to an Executive Commit
tee consisting of one man from
each branch of the industry. This
committee will be known as the
Central Committee" and each
General Committee will select one
of it's members to represent its
interest or branch on the Central
Committee.
By this method each branch of
the industry will have a General
Committee and one representative
on the Central Committee. The
General Committee has only auth
ority as regards its own branch,
and speaks to the other branches
through Its members of the Cen.
trail Committee.
Delegate conventions are dis
pensed with, and in place there
will be annual meetings, at which
all the General Committees meet
in joint session to hear reports of
officers and make suggestions and
recommendations to the Central
Committee
On all ordiary matters a major
ity vote of the Central Committee
will prevail, but in matters affect
ing policy or commercial interest,
any branch shall have the right
to protest, in which case the mat
ter must be referred to the Cen
eral Committee of the interests
directly affected, and provisions
are made to enable these General
Committees to meet in conference
to discuss such matters. This
practically means that in matters
of vital importance there must be
unanimous consent on the part
of the Central committee to &c.
cure action.
The object of this last provision
is to guarantee absolute independ.
ence to each branch or interest,
as it would be unjust and i'm.
practicable to attempt to foTcs
, 1904-12-22

against its best interests. The
plan provides an opportunity,
however, for such matters to be
discussed, and in most cases such
matters can be adjusted through
conferences between the interests
directly affected.
The details of the plan provide
for adequate machinery under the
control of the Central committee
for practical and energetic work
and for adequate finances for con-
Quoting any operations agreed
upon for the benefit of the in
dustry as a whole. As each
branch is represented upon an
absolute equality, and maintains
its independence, there ear be no
interference with each other, but
full opportunity is given to work
in harmony upon approved bust
ness lines. The general pros.
perity of the industry as a whole
is the broad ground of mutul in
terest that is expected to bring
unity of action, and the oppor-
tunity for a better understanding
of the conditions and necessities
of each branch is expected to re-
suit in relieving much of the
friction that has heretofore ex-
listed.
OBJECTS To BE ATTAINED
l.. To allay friction between
the various branches and interests
of the industry by providing an
opportunity to confer with each
other readily, thus producing a
better understanding of the con-
ditions and necessities of each
and the obstacles with which each
has to contend. Friction is ex-
pensive in economic as we'll as
mechanical affairs.
2. To encourage more advsnc-
ed and scientific methods in the
production, transportation, mark
citing and manufacture of live
stock.
3. By cooperation with the
various departmental branches of
the Federal and state governments
to secure intelligent development
of the live stock industry in all
of its branches along both educa-
tional and commercial lines.
4. To develop plans for col
lecting and disseminating vital
statistics and other valuable infor-
nation in relation to live stock of
commerce, and, as fal as possible,
to eliminate the present uncertain
knowledge regarding the supply.
5. To develop plans for a bet
ter distribution of live stock on
the markets, and to eliminate as
far as possible the present dispo-
sition to over-supply and glut the
larger markets at critical times.
6. To encourage and assist in
better organizations within the
various branches, to the end that
there maybe nor intelligent &C.
ton and a more stable base to the
industry.
METHOD OF OPERATION
AS the Central committee will
be composed of representatives of
all the principal branches and in
terests of the industry, backed bya
representative committee of lead
ing men in each branch, the asso.
citation may claim to represent the
whole industry in a national way.
In other words, the power of the
whole industry is focused into
this working body of a few re-
preventative business men. This
committee will agree upon the
policy to be adopted and the
methods to be employed to secure
the results desired. 1t will esti-
mate the amounts of capital re-
quired to carry out it's plans, and
will asses each branch or interest
the proportion each is expected
to provide, based upon an equi-
