WESTON IN WALKING COSTUME

passengers, for those who have coed
legs will foot 1t" when they take a
notion to journey from New York to
San Francisco. AR. Weston has been
advocating walking as the best means
of gaining and keeping health ever
since he was a boy. lie was born in
Providence, r. l., March 10. 1889, aud
ut threescore and ten IS able to under
take a tramp that few young men
would think themselves fit to finish.
But he was not a very vigorous youth.
He took up walking in order to benefit
his health. 1t agreed with him 80 well
that he made more or less of a voca-
ton of it. At twenty-five he walked
from Boston to Washington to witness
the first Inauguration of Abraham Lin
coin. That was quite a stunt for those
days. lie made the 453 miles In POS
hours. 1t was in 1867 that he walked
from Portland, Me-. to Chicago and by
this performance Won international rep
utation as o pedestrian. He made the
trip in % days and % hours, and when
In 1907, forty years later. he proposed
to repeat the performance there were
many who doubted whether he could
make good. He not only did as well
as when be was a comparative youth
of twenty-nine, but he reached Chicago
ahead of schedule time and beat his
former record by nearly twenty-eight
hours.
1t was supposed that Weston would
be satisfied with the record he made on
his second walk from Portland to Chi
cago and retire on these ~laurels, but a
little while ago he announced that with
the arrival Of his SEVENTEEN birthday,
on March Is. he would start out on a
walk TO San Francisco. The old mans
grit has naturally won him many adj
m,rers. and the feat that he is now un-
dertaking is the occasion of wide and
eager interest. 1t Is expected that
across continent walks will soon be al
most as much a fad AZ Marathon runs.

LIVESTOCK PEOPLE FINISH TWELFTH
 SESSION
DENVER CHOSEN AS PLACE OF HOLDING CONVENTION
 NEXT YEAR.
FEDERAL CONTROL ENDORSED
FIGHT AGAINST RESOLUTION IS LED BY DELEGATION FROM
 COLORADO.

LOS ANGELES, January 29.-ThC American National Livestock associa- tiOn finished the work of the twelfth an. nual convention today with the adop. tion of resolutions on various subjects of importance to the livestock industry, choosing officers for the ensuing year and the selection of Denver as the next meeting place.
 The resolutions were adopted by prac. tically upanimous vote, although there was brief and spirited opposition on the part of athe Colorado delegates to the paragraph endorsing the work of the United States forest bureau, de- claring in favor of federal control of grazing lands. The principal resolu- tions endorsed the Curtis. Scott land bill providing federal control of lands with leasing privileges to stockmen; the Culberson bill for the improvement of railroad services; favored protective tariff on livestock, wool ard hides; ex- tension of foreign markets; endorsing Roosevelt s attitude toward livestock interests, and the administration of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson.
 All officers were unanimously re- elected with the exception of Second Vice President Parsons of Salt Lake, who is succeeded by J. M. Carey of Wyoming. Parsons was not a candidate for reelection. The contest for the next meeting place, was between Denver and Fort Worth. After the claims of both had been urged, Fort Worth with drew.
 The fight against the endorsement of the Pinchot administration and the na- tional policy of land control was made by half a dozen Colorado delegates, led by former States Senator Ammons of Littleton and Congressman-elect Taylor. A substitute resolution offered by Am mon was overwhelmingly defeated.
 E. s. Gosney, president of the Ari- zona Wool Growers association, deliv- cred an address at the afternoon ses- sion. He said in part:
 "There is. no vested right in the range-no right the government is bound to recognize. Yet there is a right that must be guarded with the great est care and judgment, or in this inno- vation of range control you will plant the seed of distrust and rebellion in the breast of some of the best citizens of the country.
