Th busi-ieb- S K'iiuiu of the National Uuv otiii'k convention oik'Did this moru-lag- . There sat law au udauce of atuckmen sod the business nt I he convention was taken up with a utt that . inwiisea the accomplishment ot much work. A good portiuu of the unruing wu demoted to the consideration of livestock co mill ton In the various stales,x t hort addresses bolus made by mem-lcommittee. The rs of the feature ot the session was the flat-tof Swrrtary, Ins snmuil report Charles r. Martin. This report show- s la! ion to be in n piwper-pned the condition, and recurdod the of much work of benefit to the slock raisers. Attention directed to ways of accomplishins more than has been dune. The report sives a detailed statement M to what liad been done during the )wst year, what the stork men desire in the future, end ths condition of the organization. tSeerral near member-of ships hid been secured, but because unfavorable conditions the number wns not na large ns in previous years. Ths bill providins for Federal of aU interstate shipments of livestock bad passed the Senate and hecoms n law, but all tbs othr mcas-unpending before the Inal Congress had failed of passage because of thn deadlock In tbs Berate oner the Panama Caaal and Statehood bills. The hill providing tor n clawifled census of an livestock had been hill, and the one had the providing for the extension of the time limit for unloading livestockme-in trnnait west of the one hundredth ridian. and that requiring transportation companies te haul livestock at n minimum of twenty miles an hour. The stockmen. Secretary Martin said, while not opposed to the protection of ths forests, have n derided and pronounced objection to the policy which has been adopted by the Interior department regarding forest reserves, particularly to ths segregation of vast areas of grazing and agricultural lands as a portion of those reserves, and the issue of orders exnlvdtng Bvestortc from grazing thereon. This matter has grown to am-- proportion that If something la not done very soon the Industry la several of the Western states end territories will he completely destroyed. Our efforts la this direction have so far been without effect, hut It ia believed that If our request to have the Division of Forest Reserves' transferred to thn Agricultural department la ameded to, the stockmen, aa u rale, will have no further cause for complaint. Should the lodge bill, removing the tariff on hides,' become a law, the loss would not, fall upon the Importer o manufacturer, hut upon the man who produces the animal. The average tar iff being $L25 for every hide. It will cause the rpltle reisers of the nation to lose Slt50,u0 annually. It the Lodge hill should meet with favor, there was no question tmt sn attempt would Immediately he made to remove the tariff on wool, entailing n lose of t least $33,000,000 per annum and a reduction In the price of sheep to the figures prevailing under the free trade law She to $1.33 per head. 7l was an undisputed fact that the docline In the value of beef animals during the pest eighteen months amounts to more than $3 per hundred, bogs, aa average of IS per animal, and sheep trom 75c to 9 LOO per head. Consumers, however, are paying the same pries for their meats as during ths time maximum price wars realized by the growers. At ths home ths export demand for most products Is as great as ever and there has been no material increase la the number of bred of livestock: these conditions are uncalled for, sad the only apparent reason la the nnjuNt manipulation of prices at market centers, assisted by the lack of knowledge oa thn part of producer as to the visible supply. The financial condition of the waa not very flattering. The dues snd tees are sufficient to pay aU necessary expenses If they were promptly paid. A number of the members sra delinquent. Secretary Martin said it waa unjust to expert a few progressive organizations to advam-the funds necessary to pnweeute the work while oihnw remained Inactive snd received the benefits. Much time devoted io the consideration of live mock conditions in ths various stales. Among those who spoka were E. R. Boeney. of Arizona; Mrs. Howard, of California; Mr. McMillan, of Idaho; H. W. McAfee, - .of Kansas; Charles Wright, of New Hampshire, and Jerry Simpson, of New Mexico. The burden of the report of each speaker was that, while conditions of the market have ranged not as they would like to hare them. yet. the live slock Industry is In good condition, indications point to Improvement In (be future The majority of stales had grievances on seesunt of the idinrtags of the range. The greatest grievance of (he stockmen appeared to be against the railroads, These organizations, it was stated, have caused great suffering to the stockmen by their dilatory methods of handling stock train. Cars have been sidetracked to permit the pastsige- of empty cars,- and other xourors of delay have been permitted to interfere with the transportation of stock, until the producer cannot get his product to market in any sort of condition. The consensus of opinion was that the interest of the live stock industry demanded the pasnge of a law requiring railroads to handle live slock in train lots, and make not less thtn fifteen hours. Including stops, from point of loading to oinl of delivery. It was the expressed opinion that the convention should take official action on this matter. It was suggested that the great a representaneed of the stockmen tive in Congress to take care of ths interest of the stockmen. Thu inability of cattlemen to raise money on their rattle was attributed to speculations la Wall street snd ths action of eastern capitalists in drawing in Because of money from the west stockmen have been forced this t sell st n loss to raise ready money. . P. Lowe of Honolulu gave n report of the efforts being made in the Islands to develop the rattle industry. He stated that a good start had hern made, hut that there are many conditions that are disadvantageous to the raisers. t er c s w Anti-Shodd- y . . asno-elati- but ROBBERS OPEN SAFE. Onaga.
