WOOL GROWERS IN
ANNUAL GATHERING
Preliminary Work Is Accom-
pIished in First Days Meeting

OGDEN. Utah. Jan. 6.-The National
wool growers today cleared away the
opening formalities and preliminaries
Of their forty-sixth annual convention
and are now ready to enter upon the
work OF deliberation and legislation.
The usual committees were appointed
and the committee on resolutions was
instructed TO have its recommendations
ready by tomorrow noon.
The feature Of the opening day was
the address by Fred ". Gooding Of
ShOshOne, Idaho, in which were out
lined many of the suggestions which
VIII doubtless be adopted by the con-
ventiOn-
The opening OF the session was de-
layed by the dislocation of railroad
schedules until afternoon.
A. J. Delfelder OF Wolton, Wyo
y western vice president of the associa-
ton, sent telegram announcing that
he would be unable 70 be present, as
he was unable TO make railway con-
nections. The delegates were formally
welcomed 10 Utah by Governor Spry
and 10 the city Of Ogden by Mayor Will
liam Glassman. who presented the con-
Vention with formal surrender Of the
city engraved on sheepskin.
A J. Knollin of Chicago, eastern
vice president, addressed the conven-
tion.
hhoi4iu luoteo many SLdllsllcS, snow
ing the capacity Of the eastern and
middle states TO sustain a much larger
number Of sheep than at present, draw
ing the conclusion that, although the
possibilities for sheep and wool grow
ing on eastern farms are unlimited, the
sheepmen Of the west need not feel
alarmed about the markets being over
supplied, owing to the disincllnation
of farmers TO properly care for sheep
md their development, preferring to
raise cattle and hogs or sell their
products direct.
Among the topics TO be discussed by
the convention 1t is probable that there
will be some expression against the
United States bureau OF animal indus
try on account Of its attitude on the
so called Zip and leg disease.

Alec, striving to penetrate the

impassive face in the room.

at the president; but Sergius

obviously revealed his condi-

distress that there remained
only Stampoff, Prince Mich

Adhering rigidly to his
scheme of narrowing the field
OF inquiry by putting the
same straight question to each
individual in turn, Alec next
appealed to the man who had
helped him gain throne.
