Assembled here today are orators

privileges, n are not too modest to

west have the propensity to cope with
the formidable adversely of the future.
But as years come and go, we must
all respond to the call of time, but in
our declining years we will have the
consolation of knowing that our sue
cessOrs are products of the west, rear
ed under the canopy of moon, of stars,
and of forest, where the winds are
charged with the l~ife-giving ozone Of
health, wealth and contentment.
Equipping Men and Women.
1t is with exalted pleasure that we
note that the state university, under
the guidance of an able faculty, is ex.
erting every effort to equip brave men
and fair women to occupy the home
and assume the strife for peace and
justice when our days of usefulness
are DER. The sheepman casts his in
fluence with the rancher in support of
schools and colleges throughout the
state. He is a firm believer in and
endorses the management of these i'm

Bad Age for kickers.
1t may as well be set down now and
here as automatic that this age will
have little use for pessimistic kickers
and theoretical haIlucinators or plati-
tudinarians. No state or congress
should stint the agricultural college If
they would prepare the rancher and
tstockman to supply the grain and meat
to feed the rapidly increasing popula.
ton of the Union and millions beyond
the sea.

are keenly alive to present conditions;

find them and boldly take hold to build
up and who deliberately work up the
great ladder. of commerce.

century and conspicuous examples OF

Forest Reserves.
On the subject of forest reserves,
President Delfelder devoted about one
fifth of his address. He discussed the
matter from the standpoint of the
tlockmaster and did not hesitate to
say what he had on his mind evidently.
Beginning, he said: 1T is needless
for me TO dwell upon the harrassing
and eXasperating conditions which pre-,
vail in many localities along the Dor
ders of the reserves by reason of I'M
just treatment toward settlers in their
attempts to secure fuel or material for
the improvement of their homes and
ranches, and of the favoritism and an

GUS cases in the granting or refusal of
grazing permits"
Organization.
President Delfelder told of the organ-
izatiOn of the association and the work
it has done. He favors the establish.
ment of a pathological laboratory in
the state and suggests that it is the
duty of this meeting to suggest the
most advantageous place for its loca-
ton. On the subject of politics, the
president said that the allied interests
of the sheepmeu stand with American
labor, n together they hold the bal,
ance of power.
Must Stand Together.

cost that while We may differ on re.
