While President Roosevelt has no.
yet expressed himself. there is strong
reason to believe that he may make
a special effort to be In Denver be-
fore the close OF the big meeting Of
the American Stock Growers asso-
citation May g., 10, II. While in Texas
the president sent for s. H. Cowan
OF Fort Worth, and had a long talk
with him regarding the railroad rate
measure which will be taken IN at
the special session Of congress to be
called In the fall.
G Is reason to believe that the
president intends to concentrate all of
his corporation fight on this measure.
anu that he expects much from the
backing to be given him by the or
sanized stockmen OF the west. He
has been urged to attend the Denver
meeting, and while no would make no
promises. he has minated that IL he
a get through his hunting by that
time. he will make a special effort to
be here before the convention ad-
There IL every indication now that
The coming meeting OF stockmen will
be the greatest ever held In this coun-
try. Contrary to the usual manner
conducting these meetings. there
viii be little program in the way OF
entertainment. The stockmen are
here for business and have
made a special request that their time
not i~nterfered with by any local
entertainment schemes. Neither will
here be a long set program. There
Will be few addresses. but the con-
IGNITION will be taken up principally

are that the original plan Of individ.
ual membership only as the basis OF
organization will be carried out. but
that arrangements will be made to
provide representation for state asso.
Citations on the executive committee,
and thus consolidate all organized
stockmen.
No Compromise With National.
The officers of the National Live
Stock association have arranged to be
here at the meeting, and a final effort
will be made to bring all the organi-
cations together, but there is not the
shadow Of hope for any success in
that direction. The stockmen In the
west take the position that the Ma.
tional Live Stock association Is dead
as far as they are concerned, and
that there will be no compromise OF
any kind.
The fight at The Denver meeting In
January has had the effect Of stir
ring up the stockmen as never before.
They are convinced that The packers,
railroads and st%ockyard interests had
a plan to take possession Of the pro-
ducing interests, body and soul. and
they are coming 10 Denver this Time
to enter as loud a protest against this
al they can make.
There will be stockmen here from
every part OF the country. and the
meeting will include sheepmen as
well as cattlemen. In fact, in their
effort to work In with the producing
stockmen, the packers and railroad
men have succeeded in bringing peace

Cattle sales for spring delivery in
this section have been very light up

| very few buyers in this part Of the
country. There are large numbers OF
cattle in ones twos and threes on the
ranges in the southwestern part of the
territory, as the sales last year were
practically nothing and consequently
the stockmen have a two years pro-
duction on the range for sale. The
cattle in the southern part of the ter
ritory will this spring, on account OF
the excellent water and spring they
have had so far, with plenty of water.
which will make lots Of early grass,
b in the best condition for shipment
that they have been for many years.
Cattlemen, owing to the heavy rain
fall ever since the latter part of De-
cember, with practically no cold
weather. will undoubtedly experience
one Of the best and most prosperous
years they have known for the past
ten years. The grass on the ranges
is. starting TO grow and as soon as The
weather gets a little warmer will
fairly shoot up, as the ground is full
of moisture everywhere and cattle can
get wafer in most any of the draws
