National WoolgroDers ConDentior
 With an attendance which is said to make it the largest livestock convention ever held in this country, the fifty-second annual meeting of the National Woolgrow- ers' association was held last week in Salt Lake City. More than 1000 persons, in- cluding sheepmen, govern ment experts, wool buyers, representatives of livestock companies, railroad livestock agents and others interested, were present. During every hour of the convention ses- sions the attendance increas- ed, the crowd at the opening session being by far the lar gest in the history of the as- sociation.
 The annual address of Frank J. Hagenbarth of Salt Lake, president of the asso- citation and head of the Wood Livestock company, was the most important feature of the days programme. Clear ly and concisely Mir. Hagen barth outlined the develop ments in the sheep industry since the last convention, fourteen months ago, and from these summaries he de- ducted conclusions and pre- sented suggestions and ad- vice which received the en- thusiastic approval of the woolmen.
 Mayor w. Mont Ferry and Governor William Sprv both made addresses of welcome, in which they assured the woolmen that they were al ways welcome in Salt Lake City.
 Dr. J. M. Wilson of Doug las, Wyo., one of the most active members of the Ma tional Woolgrowers' associa- ton, responded to the ad- dresses of welcome, and de- clared that he heartily favor ed the permanent location of the national offices in Salt Lake, because this city was the logical center of the wool growing industry.
 M. I. Powers of Flagstaff, | Arizona, western vice presi- dent of the association, spoke briefly along lines sim liar to those followed by the other speakers. A financial statement was presented by s. w. Mcclure, secretary of the association, and showed that the organization was in a healthy financial condition.

Boys Frozen.

Four young boys of our city,
students of the grammar school,
who were camping fifteen miles
south of Winslow, near Koon
Tank, had a narrow escape from
freezing to death during the big
snow storm of last Friday and
Saturday. They had been in
camp several days, and when the
snow started falling, they moved
their camp to the shelter of a
rock. Friday morning with snow
still falling, they attempted to
reach the B. F. Ketchum camp
several miles below, but the
two younger boys were so badly
frozen and benu nbed that they
could not complete the journey.
Joe Crozier and Oliver Sutton
finally succeeded in getting to
Mr.. Ketchem's camp, and that
gentleman started out immedi-
ately and found the other two
boys, Emmett Drumm and Her
man Stegmeir. All four of the
boys had their feet badly frozen.
Mr.. Ketchen brought the boys to
their homes Saturday afternoon,
and medical assistance summon
ed. At this writing the boys are
recovering nicely, but it will be
several days before they will be
able to get about again.

Some Snow.

At the risk Of being waited on
by vigilant committee the Mail
man wants to say that the snow
storm last week was a glorious
event, reminding him of his old
home and his boyhood days when
he coasted down hill, built snow
men and participated in snow
ball battles. His only regret was
that his stiffened joints and fear
of rheumatic pains prevented him
from renewing his youth once
more. And we are looking for
the fellow who wrote the geo
graphy when we went to school,
wherein he recording as a fact
that Arizona was a hot desert
country.
1t is estimated that two feet Of
snow feel here during the storm,
and the old settlers tell us It is a
record breaker for this valley.
At Flagstaff over five feet of
snow fell, and the weight on the
roofs was so great that five
buildings collapsed, but fortuna
tely no one was injured. The
collapsing of the roof on the
Majestic theatre completely
wrecked the building.
