WOOL GROWERS CONVENTION,

The fIockmasters have decided to go
it alone this year, They have usually
held their annual conventions in con-
junction with the conventions of the
National Live Stock Association, But
this year they have taken new de-
parture. So the National convention
of the Wool Growers Association Will
convene in this city on Thursday morn
ing, January 18th, 1907. and tho ses-
sions are expected to last three days
Ii is certain TO be thoroughly repre-
sentative convention; not less than a
thousand delegates are expected, and
these will come from all parts of the
United States. Senator Francis +.
Warren Of Wyoming is president of the
association, and Mr.. George S. Walker
is secretary.
The sheep business and industry, in
all their forms, manifestations, dips,
spurs. and angles. will be threshed ont
fully. by the great and successful sheep
raisers of the country, and famous ex-
perts. in practice and in theory, will
discuss questions that will arise. 1t is
asked for legislation looking to the
Improvement of present conditions.
Grea. interest will be taken in the
forms which these requests will take
A great show of fine and fat sheep
will be held in connection with this
convention, and the success of the e1-
hibit is already assured, from early
arrivals.
The Commercial Club is taking much
interest in this convention. which is
expected TO bring at least three thou
sand visitors To this city, and these
These visitors will be men of ample
means. accustomed to good living, lib
cral in spending for what they want
IL Will be A more than usually desirable
gathering of strangers.
Conventions of this character are re
garded, Justly. as the best possible me-
dium for advertising the cities in which
they are held so that il is incumbent
upon all to sec that the attendants upon
this convention receive none but the
pleasantest and most favorable impress
sions of Salt Lake. Much of. the pros
perity and growth Of Los Angeles and
Denver is fairly attributed 10 the many
conventions held in those cities. Salt
Lake City is much more advantageously
situated as convention town than eth
er of the cities named, both by reason
of her central location and accessible
~ and her scenic and climatic attror-
tions. Heretofore large conventions
have passed as by largely because of
our supposed inability to provide salts
factory accommodate in the way OF |
sleeping and eating for great body Of
people. The rapid increase in these IA
cilities would seem TO overcome these
objections, and during the coming wear
this organization will devote much Of
its energy TO an attempt to secure as
many conventions as possible, particu.
itablv handled by our hotels and trans
portation companies.
We should not fail 10 demonstrate
TO the members OF this convention that
Salt Lake City is an ideal convention |
city, afording comfort and all facili-
ties usually demanded for convention
attendants and a spirit of cordial well |
come and genuine mountain hospitality |
VIII go TAR TO capturing the hearts of
the wholesouled men who will attend |
this annual convention Of the National
Wool Growers Association.
