ROBINSON
VISITS MONTANA
VETERAN COMMISSION MAN AT
TENDS MONTANA STOCKGROW-
Frs CONVENTION
Nephew Of General Denver Who, as
a Member of Congress, Named
Montana; Says Cattle VIII Com
mand Higher Price in Fall.

One of the prominent figures a
the annual convention in this CITY
was Charles o. Robinson, of Chicago
who in addition to being one of the
oldest commission men in the coun
try, having been associated for years
with the veteran John Clay, and who
Is now independently engaged, has
the distinction of being a nephew OF
the man who named Montana and
after whom the city of Denver was
named. Mr.. Denver was a brother
of Mr.. Robinson's mother and was
a we'll known western figure. Mr..
Robinson had planned to visit Bill
lings on his present western trip, but
was called home suddenly. He is
the same affable Charley of old and
his visit to Miles was in the nature
of a homecoming, practically every
stOckman present being personally
acquainted with him.
Making the prediction last year,
during the occasion of the annual
convention of the Montana Stock
growers association in Butte, that
cattle would command a dollar high
er in price in the fall of 1922, which
cattle and sheep business, and for
prediction came true, Mr.. Robinson
again makes the statement that the
fall of 1928, given good range grass
and like conditions as previously
prevailed, cattle will again command
a dollar higher price in the fall of
1923.
Mr.. Robinson is we'll known in the
livestock circles of Montana. He has
attended practically every convention
of livestock men during the past 35
years. He is familiar with every
angle of the business, and is enthus-
iastic over the future outlook.
He is engaged in a business which
was established by his father in Chi
cago in 1874. Making frequent visits
to the state, he has ridden the range,
and knows livestock from the ground
up.
Contrasting the present conditions
as he finds them in Miles City, Mr..
Robinson extends to the people his
sincere congratulations yer the pros
poets that lie Immediately ahead.
There is bound to be great improve
ment, and much good is going to re-
suit from the construction of the new
railroad connecting Miles City with
the Salt Creek oil field of Wyoming,
he said.
In a reminiscent mood, Mr.. Robin
son recalled that in the early history
of the stockgrowers' association, he
visited Miles City, and says that the
old Mcqueen house, since destroyed
by fire, vas the headquarters.
Looking at conditions at the pres
ent time, Mr.. Robinson takes an OPP
view of general conditions all
over the country, which are bound to
reflect for good upon the livestock {
interests of the northwest. The steel
mills, running at approximately full
capacity, with factories rushed to the I
init with orders, and the sentiment
expressed that there is likely to be ,
In acute labor shortage. 1t is his !
that these things point to I
times. s
1.-THE fact that some 100000 per- {
ons out of employment two years
4go are now on regular pay rolls, :
orms one of the reasons for my con- ,
lusions," said Mr.. Robinson. "Nat- T
lrally workers are meat eaters, and a
With unemployment being rapidly +
viped out, naturally there will be a !;
consumption of meat. Per- J
orce this spells an improved condi-
ion in the livestock markets. My r
dvice to every person thus engaged o
to stick to the old ship, which, :
lille on tempestuous seas at times, 7
enerally makes a port. In other "
-ords, we have gone over the top, D
nd with wages advancing there is r,
ound to be a far better demand for =
lie products of the range and farm. u
tay with the ship, boys, is my adj II
and we will all win in the end" 81
