attention of the association to present conditions prevailing In the handling of wool In the East and said the object ob-ject of the company was to give the profits of the middlemen Co the growers grow-ers The plan Is for the woolgrowers throughout the country to subscribe for the Htock of the company elect the officers offi-cers and control the concern In every particular The proposition provides for the ownership by the woolgrow S ers of warehouses In the market centers cen-ters and the marketing of wool by agents of the growers Instead of by commission men The asonclatlon 1s to prohibited from owning a pound tit wool thus doing away with all discrimination dis-crimination In connection with the marketing mar-keting of tho product The members are not pledged to ship to the com panys warehouses but have the privilege privi-lege of doing so should the home market mar-ket be not all that Is desired The whole idea is to place the control of the wool supply In the hands of the growers taking it away from the East era commission men and giving the growers In the form of dividends whatever profit there might be In the handling the wool Brenidcnt Jesse Smith indorsed the

FOREST RESERVE QUESTION UP TTt ir t i Ti L i Mtij G F Bucher Forest Supervisor Super-visor was then asked to addrpfes the meeting on the forest reserve question He began by saying that ifthe association asso-ciation had not made such a strong fight TJtulf sheep would probably have SI been barred from the reserves during the past year AH It was ho stated his Instructions would probably haveS have-S had tlo effect of barring the sheep had the orders not been enforced with leniency t le-niency TJi regulations ho said had been thoroughly complied with by the Bhccpmen especially In connection with the matter of campfires The area burned ovir this year said MaJ Bucher wag not onetenth that of last year MnJ Buclicr said he was about to make a report to the department having lately gone over the reserve with an Inspector from Washington Ho expressed himself as well pleased with the conditions here said the Major and I think he will make a report re-port recommending the admitting of sheep next year Thorp Is I one serious question which will confront me next summer however continued the Ma jor and lhnt is what sheep I J shall admit ad-mit Wo arc limited to 200000 head and It Is i probable that applications for 3WOOO or more will bo mudft The question ques-tion Is How hail I discriminate In jny opinion the men who should have Uio prlvjlcjjp axe the members of the oclation the men who made the tight for the privilege your president here and his associates But I would like to hove you settle this question for ne In the case of small owners I might admit all his sheep and where I a large owenr runs several bands I might let In part of his holdings but 1 J four I cannot permit all who may de I sire the privilege to graze their Mocks inside owing to the restrictions placed upon me by the department When MiiJ Bucher finished President Smith arose and said that while MaJ Bucher had given much credit to the RSffoclutloti for keeping the reserves open ho thought a large debt was due the Major from the sheepmen for hisS his-S manner of performing his duty While wing an officer of Clio Government he S has do5q his full duty to the Govern I mentCfoaid MJ
