New Stockyards Proposed

New Stockyards Proposed
Following Mr.. Stickney On the plat
form, Major A.. Towers made some
pleasant remarks" stating that if the
st. Paul men were ready to put up the
money for the new enterprise, the
stockmen could surely come to the front
with the necessary advice and expe-
rlence. He said the matter was of such
Importance that lit should receive pro-
found consideration He offered a mo-
ton that a committee of 10 be appoint
ed to visit st. Paul and confer with
citizens. The matter was then sched-
uled to come up for the attention of
the convention the next day.
When the Towers motion was taken
from the table, it was amended by the
convention and directed the commit
tee on its return to stop at Medora,
Dakota, to examine a plan the Marquis
de Mores had matured for fattening
ana marketing beeves, and then to con-
Ter with Dustin and Hough, slaughter
ers of Miles City. Former Governor B.
F; Potts was named as chairman of the
MIN were w. A. Towers, DR.. Ames,
Granville Stuart, A. Heller, T. H. Lo-
gan, Judge Strevell, Joseph Scott, John
N. Simpson, J. J.. Thompson, r. B.
Harrison. Conrad Kohrs, w. B. Jordan,
Alfred Myers, Theodore Roosevelt, and,
on motion, President T. J.. Bryan was
added.
Arriving in st. Paul May 2, the COM
mlttee was escorted to Hotel Ryan by
a committee of business men. Here they
rested and ate dinner. In the evening
the members were guests of A. B. Stick
hey at the Minnesota club where a
sumptuous banquet was served. After
speaking at some length on the sub
lect of the local capital needed, the
Item OF consumption and the feeding
question, and summing up his state
ments on what could be done to fur
Their livestock raising as a Minnesota
agricultural industry, and what the re-
suit would be if a steady supply of
beeves were produced, he introduced
President James J.. Hill of the Manitoba
road, and a Minnesota stock feeder.
The following day being Monday, the
Montana stockmen were taken to Mr.
Hills stock farm, then to the Minneso-
ia and Northwestern railroad com
cess of construction, and where it was
proposed to erect the big yards and
slaughtering establishments which we're
to make st. Paul a great livestock mar
ket.
Caricatures Resented
What amused Miles City readers of
the st. Paul Pioneer Press, carrying an
account of the proceedings, was the
%caricatures, which, apparently had been
drawn by a staff artist. The comment
is interesting.
The only picture in the entire list
of the c%aricatures in last Tuesdays
Pioneer Press that has even a remote
resemblance to the individual whose
name is printed under it is that of Col.
T. j. Bryan, which has some of the fea-
lures of the handsome president of
the Montana Stockgrowers association.
The next cut that intended to repre-
sent Hon. Granville Stuart is a cut
that was used many years ago as a
picture of Pizaro, the famous Spanish
chieftain, and has since done duty on
many other occasions as pirates and
Mexican bandits. 1t represents the firm,
placid. intellectual features of Gran
vile Stuart about as much as it does
Grover Cleveland or the Gar of Rus
STA. The cut fished out and labeled
Maj. T. H. Hogan,'-meant Logan
looks like Benedict Arnold. A years
close acquaintance with it would never
make n think of the pleasant rudy
features Of our gallant officer from
