Royalty Entertained.

Alliance maintained its oid-time reputation of
giving the stockmen q royal entertainment during
their meetings. IN place OF calling in the scientific
farmers the agricultural college professors, the
government veterinarians the experts in the yari-
Gus branches of live stock and farm operations who
have many former occasions embellished and
weighted down the programs of this wide-awake,
progressive organization, it's committee this year
hit upon the happy thought of mixing in a little
humor, jollihcatiOn and real old-fashioned Fourth
of July celebration for the boys and girls and the
whole family was invited.
Besides the big Fourth of July celebration,
extensively advertised by the business of the
town, the Alliance Fair and Driving Park associa-
ton, that last year held its first exhibition it's
new grounds adjoining the city, had programmed
weeks racing to ft in as part of the stock
mems entertainment. These various attractions
were supplemented by numerous speeches and ad-
dresses delivered by candidates for United States
senator, member of congress and governor of the
state of Nebraska thus bringing into action a most
interesting and diversified program that seemed to

Hampton On the Outlook.

President Hampton in his annual address spoke
encouragingly of the outlook for the stockman and
urged the necessity of active administration

ton membership. The hope of the sand hills and
grazing districts of Nebraska is coming to

1t is only matter of time, tests and experimental

of the president. A good grazing country cannot
always rest in the hands of the agricultural novice
Within the next decade western Nebraska will again
take advanced position in the breeding and de-
veopment of the best sand hills feeder cattle in the
United States. As these lands drift into title prop

The report OF the secretary, E. NJ. Searle, Jr.,

urgent matter of business for several years,

The National Association.

t. W. Tomlinson, secretary or the American
National Live Stock association with headquarters
at Denver, was present and spoke of the work his
association had been doing during the last year in
its various efforts Of guarding the interests of the
live stock growers Of the United States against rail-
road impositons national legislation of damaging
tendency to the stock interests. etc. Mr. Tomlin-
son spoke in very complimentary terms of the sup
port and loyal backing Of the Nebraska association
in standing with the national association in its
tests and litigations in the interests of the live
stock industry Of the country. Secretary Tomlin-
son announced that the net annual meeting of the
American National Live Stock association would be
held in January, 1911, at Fort Worth Tex.

ing at the transfer is entering upon
its last month, it being expected that
no mail will be weighed after June
2. The weighers were hired for 105
days, and the term expires on the
above date.
The amount handled is decreasing
with the beginning Of summer. For
the first month, the average amount
weighed was close to 100 tons. but this
has gradually lessened until at present
only about seventy tons per day is
handled. No tabulated account Of
the entire amount weighed to date
has been kept, daily reports being
made to the Chicago office.
The decrease in the amount handled
is attributed by Chief Transfer Clerk
w. B. Hite to the decrease in cata-
logues and advertising now being sent
out. Most Of the large firms send out
their catalogues in the early spring,
and all such business has been dis
posed of. The greater volume of cir
culars and other advertising matter is
also sent out in the spring and just
before the holiday season, and sum-
noticeable in first class matter.
