ogden. Utah. Jan. 1.-Today's session
of the National woolgrowers' assoCia =
ton was devoted for the most part to
addresses on the sheep industry.
Among the speakers were Congress
man Ralph d. Cole of Ohio and ].
Tanimura, who is under the commits
sion of the Japanese government to
study the sheep and goat question in
America and countries of Europe with
view of Increasing and improving
the stock of Japan. Congressman
Cole aroused the enthusiasm of the
convention b. an entertaining address
on the tariff on wool. Illustrating his
words with an exhibit of wool in its
different stages. He said that the
tariff must be maintained and he
pronounced himself as favoring the
naturalization of wool production.
Not within 100 years said he.
will the production overtake the in
crsasing demands of consumption. II
is up to the west because the west
can produce more. better and cheaper
wool than we can in the eastr"
He advised the woolgrowers to en-
ter into politics as an organization.
He further said that as member of
the house committee on irrigation. ne
would seek to promote the irrigation
of the arid lands of the west and. II
necessary, would support the issuance
of bonds to do this work. Just be-
fore the convention took a recess for
the night, the Associated Press bull
letin announcing the dismissal of Gift
ford Pinchot from the forestry serv-
ice was read to the convention. The
reading Of the bulletin was followed
with great cheering. The dis
missal Of Mr. Pinchot may result in
a change of the associations work. as
many of the resolutions to be intro
duced tomorrow bear on the forestry
service in so far as it relates to sheep
grazing.
Resolutions Passed.
Early i'm the day is was understood
that President Taft and cabinet were
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of dis
missing Mr.. Pinchot and n resolution
was passed by the convention to the
effect that I'm the event there was a
change i'm the head of the forestry
service. a man familiar with the west
and its conditions should be placed
at the mead of the bureau.
As an cutgrowth of a friendly con-
ference today between representatives
of sanitary boards. sheep commission
ers. veterinarians and DIR. A. d. Mel
vim. chief of The bureau of animal
industry. it Is quite probable that
better understanding will result in the
of quarantine laws and
the treatment of sheep diseases. and
that uniform regulations will be made
by the different states and the federal
As the closing day of the convention
approaches the place of meeting next
year and the selection of officers are
beng actively canvassed.
The place for holding tho convention |
stiil rests between Portland and Boise. |
There is a movement on foot to have !
the convention designate a place of |
permanent meeting and for this honor |
Salt Lake and Ogden are mentioned.
There seems to be a tendency, how
'ver. not to press this question at this /
session, but to defer it for year or |
so. in the meanwhile passing the dis |
inction around. For officers OF the 4
there is considerable talk \
hat both President Cooling and Sec I
etary Walker are to have opposition
or reelection. II is well understood II
hat there Is some friction be-
ween president Gooding and Sec 4
etary Walker and the friends of each u
re discussing the advisability of op-
losing each. the Gooding faction Of
ering new man for secretary and
he Walker people suggesting another
for president. If this con-
est develops. 1t will probably have

hat the Wyoming delegation and
many of thu Utah delegates favor
cortland. Boise has the support of the
IDAHO delegates and some from Mon
ana.
