Callister on Pinchot.
f. II. Callister, president of the as
sociatjon, presided at tho meetings. In
touching upon some of the questions
confronting the sheepmen, President
Callister said that, naturally, the mat
ter of chief moment was the attitude
of the forest service. In this conuec-
,ion he referred to the removal of
Chief Forester Pinchot, saying that Mr..
Pinchot was u man whom he highly
esteemed for his personal qualities but
whose policy with regard to the ma
tional forests was not rational policy
~ think Mr.. Pinchot is an able man
and "a good official,' said President
Callister, "but l do not agree with his
forest policy, and | told him so. L
think he and the other officials of the
government arc ut sea with regard TO
tho true conditions prevailing on the
actions of this convention will be to
lndorse, as the successor of Mr..
Plnchot, a western man, or AT least Il
man who is familiar with the condi,
tions as they really exist in the west
in relation to forest reserves and the
grazing of sheep therein. The order
made some years ago shutting out
100000 sheep from grazing in the
Uintah forest was unjust, and the
forest officials were arrayed against the
sheepmen and in favor of tho cattle
men at that time, and had il not been
for the action of President Mckinley,
before whom the real situation was
land by western senators, the shcepmen
would have been shut out entirely from

'The convention should also take
united action for the eradication of
the lip and leg liberation, called necror
bacillosis. We do not wish our state
quarantined by the government because
Of this disease, and in order to prevent
this we must work together to eradi-
cate it.
"Another point which demands i'm
mediate and constant attention is the
destruction of wild animals which prey
upon the focks. The fockmasters must
also be united in this work, or the cx-
termination of the coyotes and other
predatory animals will never be accom-
plishcd. -
To Hold Meeting Earlier.
In the course Of the day the presi-
dent was instructed to call a special
meeting of the association from two TO
four days before the time of the hold
ing of the National Woolgrowers' con-
vcntlon. This was done in order that
the Utah growers may get together
and appoint their allotted quota of dele
gates-twenty or more-and discuss
matters to be presented before the ma.
tlonal convention. As it is now, the
woolmen of Utah do not get together
until the time of the national conven-
ton, and enter that convention un-
organized and unprepared.
suggestion was made that the date
for holding the annual meeting of the
association be changed from the sec
ond Monday in January to date Just
preceding the national convention, but
this was rejected because the articles
of Incorporation would have to be
changed, and it was possible that new
officers would be elected who might
not be prepared to go into the national
convention SO we'll prepared as the old
officers,
Will Have Bylaws.
The directors were instructed to pre-
pare set d bylaws, to be submitted
at the next regular meeting.
A resolution of thanks will be passed
addressed to the Commercial club for
the use in the clubs rooms. Capt,
Joseph E.. Caiue, the secretary of the
club, Monday, at five minutes notice,
had the convention hall in shape. The
woolmen found the Kennedy hall,
where the convention was to have
been held, without heat, and the
change was made The woolmen thor
oughly appreciate the action of the
club.
The committee on resolutions, which
will report this afternoon, is l.. R. An
derson of Mauti, Enos Bennion of
Vernal and Thomas Austin of Salt
Lake.
