The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1910-01-07

through lack OF knowledge on the
part OF the supervisor of conditions
therefore, we recommend where such
mistakes can be proven to the salts
faction of the supervisor and adyis-
DRY board that they shall be adjusted
insofar as present conditions will per-
nit.
We recommend chat the time at
which sheep shall enter and leave the
national forests be determined by the
advisory boards and supervisors on
each of the respective forests every
year as conditions will warrant.
The convention was called to order
Monday morning by the President of
the Association, Thomas C. Stanford.
The first business was calling the roll
OF members, followed by the routine
business preliminary to the real work
OF the convention.
In the afternoon an address of well
come, brief, but to the point, was de-
livered by Mayor j. B Gowen. May
or Gowen spoke in part as follows:
Were it not customary, it would
be superfuous for me as Mayor of
Caldwell to extend to you the well
come of the people of this city. Each
and all of US keenly appreciate the
honor the Idaho Wool Growers as
ISOLATION did Caldwell in selecting it
as the place for this meeting. 1t
would indeed be disqualification to be
unmindful of the presence here of
such a distinguished, representative
and influential organization. During
tn years of my business life, every
day has caused me to think higher of,
feel better toward and more justly
measure the true worth and impor-
lance of the sheepmen and wool grow
ers Of the west, and particularly of
Idaho. The industry and the men
following that industry have steadily
grown in the good opinion of the peo-
pie. This growth has resulted in a
large measure from the better ac-
quaintance with the purposes, de-
sircs and aspirations of the sheep
men. I offer my congratulations to
you upon this meeting, and I extend
to you the welcome that I know is in
the heart of every citizen of CaldwelI.
81 congratulate you upon the better
understanding that now exists be-
tween the sheepmen and the public.
1t has not been many years since it
were better to have been f1Ourishing
horsethief than a successful sheep
man, in many parts of Idaho. There
grew up a misunderstanding that
promised no little harm to all the in
terests of Idaho. Drastic proposals
OF legislation were made; plenary
laws were advocated, even embarrass-
inc statutes were enacted. Self pres
crvation demanded the organizatlU"
of the wool growers that their pur-
Doses might be made known and their
common interests and rights might
be preserved. All these things have
been accomplished, and the men and
the industry today stand indicated.
Upon this success | congratulate yo".
"Thc industry represented here tn
