ST0CKMEN'S CONVENTION
IS PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
Officers ol Aseociation And
Visitors Pleased; Best
Meeting Ever Held.

"In point of interest and attend
ance. tho convention just closed ID
the best In the history OF the Assoc
iation." said President VIM. Pollman,
Wednesday morning before taking
his departure for his home at Baker,
following the seventh annual conven-
tion OF tho Cattle a Horse Raisers'
Association OF Oregon. THE pro-
gram was one OF the most instructive
and beneficial ever given at any con.
vcntion: tho delegates were IN their
seats in greater numbers than aver
before and believe we accomplished
more real good 10 the membership
than ever before"
This was gratifying to the repres-
entative OF this paper with whom Mr..
Pollman was talking a. Il meant thst
Burns had made wood In its effort 70
take care OF the big state organiza.
tion and that II was found even bet
ter suited for such q convention than
had been expected.
Secretary Corrcll expressed him
self as agrceabiy. surprised at the
manner In which the delegates had
been cared for during their stay and
the hospitality. of Burns was really
frontier In Its character. Mr.. Corrsii
also voiced his appreciation Of the
results accomplished at the meeting
and praised the chlsrac,cr OF enter
tainment furnished the visitors.
Absolutely the best meeting ever
held by the Association" was the
way Treasurer Duby expressed him
self.
Fortunately the town was equal
to the occasion Of caring for the vis-
ltors. having furnished all ecessary
housing and food In u satisfactory
way. The storage portion OF tho
Burns Garage was made into big
dining room and those who were
served at that place report the best
OF service and good. well cooked
food. In fact some OF the oflicers OF
the Association stated that they had
eaten there almost exclusively dur
ing their stay IN town and that they
never had better meals anywhere.
The charges were also reasonable.
Many OF the homes IN town were
opened to the visitors and because OF
expecting more people than came
they were all provided for in that re-
spect most comfortably. Additional
beds had bee arranged for In the
place being fitted up by James Lamp
shire IN the Fry building and there
we're also some tents put up but II
was not necessary TO occupy them.
Manager Charles Faulkner has not
made a report OF the financial end OF
the entertainment but II is under
stood there was ample money provid-
cd for the entertainment of the
Iguests--that is when II is all collect
ed In. Most OF the business houses
of Burns contributed toward this
fund but II IL regretable that some
who prof,tsd most directly from the
cow{ntion visitors did not put up a
Icent toward this entertainment, or
provide for their comfort. However,
that Is not new. Many OF the local
stockmen subscribed literally TO the
fund.
The excursion train up from On
tario brought something over sixty
OF the delegates who were mot at
Crane by automobiles from this city
and brought to Burns that evening.
The Commercial Club was made
head dquarters where the several COM
mittees had Representatives and the
visitors were taken there TO register
and assigned rooms.
Monday morning found several
hundred delegates ready for the
opening session at 9:30. the conven-'
ton being called to order at that
hour by the president.
Several entertaining numbers
were interspersed In the business of
the sessions during both days, the
syncopated Trio furnishing orches-
ira music; the Ladies' Sextette. the
high school girls quartette. male
quartette. and among others Mrs. N.
If. Reed. and Waldo Geer rendered
vocal solos; Mrs. G. NJ. Faulkner
gave a reading both ut the conyen-
tion session and at the reception
given the visiting ladies during Mon
day afternoon. At the dance given
