STOCK SHOW
LIVE STOCK AND COMMERCIAL
ORGANIZATION PLAN TO
MAKE 1T PERMANENT.
WANT 500 MEMBERS
PL AIMING FOR BIG PAVILION AT
YARDS THAT WILL COST
100000.

Denver.-Unanimity of determina-
ton to make the Western Live Stock
Show a permanent institution marked
the meeting of the live stock interests
and the commercial organizations OF
Denver at the Colorado Traffic club
Monday night. AS substantial evidence
of the determination, $1,000 Yas
pledged off-hand by individuals pre-
in the form of $1O0 memberships in The
Western Stock Show Association. The
Denver Union Stock Yards Company
desires to secure 500 of these member
ships as a guarantee that the snow
will be maintained for the next ten
years, the scheme being to place 100
memberships in Denver and the pal
ance among the stockmen OF the state
and the surrounding territory. When
the 500 memberships are secured the
Stockyards Company will erect paVll-
ion to cost 5000 900. as permanent quar-
ters for the annual show. There seems
practically no doubt whatever that the
required number of memberships will
be secured without difficulty. The
amount paid for each membership Will
be returned with interest at per cent.
If the show is maintained for ten years.
The heads of all the commercial bod
les and other organizations having an
interest in maintaining OF the stock
show, were present at the meeting and
assured the representatives of the
Stockyard Company of their hearty CO.
operation in making the show perma-
nent and valuable institution.
