The eleventh annual meeting Of the

successful close Saturday afternoon

quent words warmly welcomed the

In the afternoon the business
houses closed their doors and every
body went to the new park where the
Glasgow and Malta base ball teams
crossed bats, the game resulting in
victory to Malta with n score of 7 to
4. That evening the visitors were
guests at p grand ball given by the
Malta Cornet Band at Eagles Hall
This ball was one of the most largely
attended as we'll as the most enjoya-
BILE social events of the season. and
many an old time cowman's face
glowed with pleasure as he found his
place in the may figures Of the
dance.
The principal meeting of the asso-
citation was held Saturday morning
at Eagles Hail and after the meet
ing was called to order and an ad-
dress made by the President, John
Survant, the following order of busi-
ness was misunderstanding of min
utes of last meeting, secretary's re-
port, appointment of committees on
resolutions, nomination and men,
bership. after which adjournment
was made for report Of mmitttees.
The executive committee reported
as follows:
We have considered the report of
the Secretary Treasurer and find the
finances Of the assoc iation ir 4 salts
factory condition.
We heartily commend the action of
the State Board of Stock Commits
sioners in increasing it's corps of
stock inspectors to properly look af-
ter our range interests.
Your executive committee takes
pleasure in commencing the work of
the Thirteenth Assembly IN the mat
ter of legislation that affects the
Montana live stock industry.
We endorse the action of the Mon
tana Stock Growers association in
appointing committee to confer
with the railroads for the purpose of
securing reduced rate on cattle
shipments within the state, we be-
lieve such reduction would be
beneficial to the railroads as we'll as
the stockmen inasmuch as it would
increase their revenue by making it
possible for the stockmen to move
their stock between points in the
state at a reduced rate, thereby MAX
ing it possible for the stockmen to
summer range and winter feed at
different points. This would be all
new business for the railroads and
afford protection to the stock inter-
ests.
And we respectfully recommend to
the directors of the Panama Pacific
International Exposition the appoint
ment OF w. E. Skinner to manage
the live stock part of that exposition
We recognize the exceptional quail
tications of Mr.. Skinner for that po-
sition OH account of his large exper-
ience and acquaintance with the Ii We
stock exhibitors of this country.
We also realize the Importance of
the Importance Of the Panama Pacif-
ic Exposition, and we pledge our
support to it's success.
