LIVE STOCK MEN
MEET At DENVER
Tenth Annual Con-
vention Opened
Today.
AN IMPORTANT SESSION
Everything of Interest to
Members of Association to
Be Discussed.

Denver Colo, Jan. 22.---President
Murdo Mackenzies annual address
was the main feature of the opening
session here today of the tenth an
nual convention of the American Ma
tional Live Stock Association. A re-
port on Legislative questions of the
most vital interest to all members
was made by S. H. COwan, the general
attorney of the association. Governor
Buchtel welcomed the delegates in a
felcitious address
Many Complaints in 1906.
Among other things President Mac
kenzie said that during the year 1906
there had been more complaints of
poor service by the railroads than in
any year before, and unless something
was done to compel the railroads to
give reasonable speed to the deliv-
cry of live stock, that the live stock
men would ultimately be compelled
to give up this business on account
of the great loss incurred by delays.
He suggested that suits for damages
be brought against the railroads.
Many Remedies Needed.
He referred to the failure of the
railroads to furnish cars upon proper
notice and favored legislation to rene
dy this evil. He said that the mini
mum car load weight for all classes
of livestock was too high and should
be adjusted; that the stock men OBJ
jected to the proposed amendment to
the meat inspection law making the
packers pay the cost of such inspec.
tion, because the stock men would
have TO stand the cost which would
amount to millions of dollars annual
ly.
The administration of the forest
reserves, President Mackenzie said,
was one of the most important ques-
tions on which the association should
take action.
Commission Companies Alright.
He urged the stock men to support
cooperative live stock commission
companies which were already a sue
cess.

measures which are up for considera-

are bill abolishing gambling in the
territory, mine tax law and a re-
adjustment of the county boundaries.

FIVE CENT FARE 70 QUEENS.
Railway which viii Mum Over Blackweti's
Island Bridge Changes Its Plan.

In reply to a letter sent TO him by the
Rickert- Finlay Realty Company OF l West
Thirty-fourth street, +. l.. Fuller. president
of the New York and Queens County Rail
way Company, which is q part OF the old
Belmont system, says that IL is the inten-
ton Of the company to operate its cars
over the Black wells Island Bridge and
10 carry passenger from Broadway-fiush-
ing, and other parts OF the borough Of
Queens TO Manhattan for a single fare OF
five cents.
The New York and Queens is now a part
of the Observation-Disclosures merger
and 1t does most OF the trolley business In
the borough OF Queens. Plans have been
made for the expenditure OF something
like 50, 900. 600 for improvements on the
system, which will also connect with the
Belmont tunnel now building under the
East River from Long Island City TO the
Grand Central Station. where there is a
loop and where connections may be made
with the subway.
not 10 charge more than a single fare 70
Manhattan over the bridge marks the
termination Of a long controversy OF great
interest to the people across the East River.
Ii was currently reported that upon the
completion Of the bridge and the tunnel
the Queens borough trolleys would charge
double f%are-fve cents to cross the river
from Manhattan and an extra fare in Long
Island City or TO other points beyond,
Great opposition developed to this scheme
and the real estate men fought IL vigorously.
They got together and laid the matter be-
fore Mr.. Fuller in such a way that h 70 plan
seemed feasible to him. As the same COM
pany controls the tunnel IL is likely that n
fare will also be charged to passengers
to and from Queens.
