morning In Elks' theater, was even
more successful than the llrst. The
attendance was materially increaSeu
through the arrival of more delegates
and progress was made toward the
organization which the convention is
expected to form
The convention yesterday perfected
organization. There should be no
misunderstanding about this. The
permanent organization effected yes
terday is not of the proposed associd-
ton which is not yet in existence, but
simply for the convention and the ofll-
GERS are convention officers.

The session yesterday was made
specially notable by the address of Dr..
]. NJ. Wilson, vice president of the Ma
tional Wool Growers association and
the recognized head of that great or
ganization. DR.. Wilson is known
throughout the west as an earnest and
forceful speaker. Those who had
heard him before say he never made
more interest compelling speech
than that of yesterday. The speech oc-
cupied an hour and was made OF

statement, detailed figures statistics,
information worth money to the sheep
men rolled from his Hips as II the adj
dress had been rehearsed and com

with him to a man leaning forward to
catch every word
! DR.. Wilson dealt at length with the
questions of the leasing of the public
domain. the rules governing grazing
on forest reserves and the charges for
such grazing to the sheep and cattle

| the only hope of remedy.
The speaker showed plainly the Vasi
benefits which have come to the sheeI
industry from the organization of the
National Wool Growers association
and pointed out forcefully and clearly
how equally great would be the bene'
fits of a similar organization in New
Mexico. He emphasized the necessity
of placing active, energetic men at tht
head of the association to be formed
and advised the convention when i
should have organized, to employ
salaried secretary, who would no
only attend to great but to small
things.
