tion of the Utah Wool Growers ssso-
| citation, organized among the sheepmen
OF this State some fifteen years ago At
a meeting held Saturday afternoon by
members Of the general committee In
the rooms of the Commercial club mea-
sures were proposed for disbanding the
organization and for reorganizinG on
a greater scale.
Those on the general committee arc
President Heber A. Smith OF Draper,
chairman of the committee; Henry Moss
Of Wood S Cross, secretary: John 4.
Sharp of this city. treasurer; W. ID.

Manti and J. s Ostler of Nephi, mem
bers of the State Sheep commission,
were in attendance, as was w. s. Han
son Of CollinstoD.
There seemed to be spirit of doubt,
lack of knowledge as TO the method
to be employed IN causing a dissolu-
tion of the organization. All present
realized the delicacy of the matter,
and were reluctant to make the first
move. James. n. Moyle proposed that
articles of incorporation be applied for,
and that a new constitution and bylaws
be drafted
Committee Appointed.
After considerable discussion it was
decided that a special committee be ap-
pointed to carry on the work of reor.

time Of the meeting of the National
Wool Growers association in this city,
January 10 TO 10
Lack of interest in the associa ton
and in the industry, the peculiar views
of the growers Of this State. lack of CO.
hesion, cooperation and petty jealousies
are given as the cause for the probable
disruption of the organization. Growers
in other States, it was stated, show un-
usual activity, but Utah sheepmen, 1T
was said, are Indifferent to the welfare
of the industry in so far as the asso-
citation Is concerned.
Interest In the meeting of Saturday
was somewhat dampened by the alb
sence of many of tho members. II was
stated that this was due to the fact
that great number OF the growers
were In Eastern markets, and were busy
shipping stock.
Suggestions were made looking for
the creation of greater enthusiasm,
greater activity among the sheepmen of
Utah \ feeling of shame seemed to
dwell in the hearts of those attending
the meeting. because of the GOODNESS ex
hibited by the growers of the State to-
ward the welfare of the association.
To Help the Industry.
From now on, it was determined that
a regular crusade be instituted among
the sheepmen Of Utah, looking toward
their enrolment into the association,
and for the betterment of the industry
in general. Letters will be addressed
10 every grower IN the State asking
him to join, and extraordinary measures
will be taken TO induce a lively growth
IN the association. This will be done in
connection with the Commercial club,
which is taking an unusual interest in
the aEairs of the organization.
Wild, buoyant, uplifting enthusiasm,
however, manifested itself when the
matter of the National convention and
sheep show came before the committee.
Every member pledged himself TO work
with might and main 10 make the show
success and, according 10 Fisher Har
ris, secretary of the Commercial club,
that body will put forth mighty efforts
to make the show the greatest ever held
in the United States. 1t was due to
the latter body that the show was Sc
cured for this city, as in previous years
Denver has had the bulge on every
competing city.
Livestock associations throughout the
land have offered their support for the
show. put up cash prizes, cups and
medals for competitors, and are now
arousing q great interest In Salt Lake
City and her fat and fine sheep
show" Local merchants and corpora
tions have indicated their willingness
to stand by the association and the
Commercial club, and already many
contributions have been handed in, to-
gether with offers OF cups and medals.
Big Gathering Expected.
More than 1000 sheepmeu from all
parts of the North American continent
are expected TO take part in the show,
which will probably be held on the
large vacant lot in the rear Of the
Commercial club building. Considerable
money VIII be spent In providing pens
and quarters for the stock. All prelim-
mary work, such as providing badges,
programmes, brass bands, entertainment
IN general and Offices for the manage
ment of the convention, will be done
by the Commercial club, under the iii.
rection of Secretary Harris.
James c. Leary OF this citv, prom
inent among livestock men Of the coun-
trv, submitted a report OF the work
done by his committee in connection
with the show. Letters were submitted
from leading livestock associations Of
