The cattIem en this Week.

Beginning to morrow convention
Of representative stock growers from
all parts of the Trsnsmissouri region
will be held in this city. It is re-
ported that there will be large at
tendance, a number Of prominent
men from different states being
among those who will come.
Denver has always taken pleasure
in entertaining representatives. of tho
live stock industry, and We assure
the visitors that it will do so in this
instance. They represent one Of
the most important industries of the
Far West, which is also one that con-
tributes in q large measure to the
prosperity Of this community.
One of the important subjects that
will be considered will be the rela.
ton OF the railroads to live stock
transportation. They have in
some cases not shown a proper dis
position to foster the intesests of
stock growers, seemingly being dis
posed to throw upon them greater
burdens in the expense of trsnspor
tation than the condition Of business
has justified.
A convention composed of repre-.
sentative and responsible stock grow
ers from all parts of the Transmits
souri, region is one to which intelli-
gent and far seeing traffic managers
should give attention. It stands
for something in the industrial aod
commercial life Of the West, and it
may be presumed that, it will take
no position without due thought and
deliberation. .f
If this convention insugurates q
movement to induce the railroad
companies to make better rates and
grant reasonable co ncessions in
other ways to live stock shippers, it
will do 80 because action of that
kind is justified by the attitude of
the roads.
Men whose business represents so
arge a part of the traffic of tho rail
roads as the stock shipments from
points in the Transmissouri region
are by no means powerless. By Sc
lecting particular lines for their ship
ments they could deprive competi,
tive roads of large share of the
earnings upon which they have been
accustomed to count. Action of this
sort might not at first be accompsni
ed by any reduction in freight rates,
but the roads failing to secure traffic
under these conditions would find
the result very unsatisfactory.-Den-
yer Republican.
