Kl Paso is expected to put up , the , strongest fight for the 1905 meeting- and It Is more than likely that the Texas : town will win. However, Denver is very strong, and If It does not withdraw from the race the battle is apt to be very spirited. The latest city to request the con- ventlon Is Detroit. Secretary Martin of the national association received a letter from the Detroit board of trade Sunday rooming, saying that "'i t, the stockmen will come to Michigan next year they will receive the best of treat- went .

The prosecution of Whltakcr Wright opened in the King's bench today with a' great crowd of those Interested in the defunct London Globe corporation In attendance, . (Contlnued f rom Second Column.) There have been great changes cn the style 01 goods, the materials used .In their manufacture and the ...manner of doing business. Cotton has come into much more general tise and imitations of woolen goods are common. Every piece of woolen goods is made to serve up again and again, and over and over, each time being picked up, renovated and for eign substances burned out "Therefore, Instead of actual consump tion of each, year's growth of wool, as soon as the same Is made Into clothes, and he garments therefrom cast aside V t -. - GIFFORD PINCHOT. Member Arid Lands Commission. as 'worn out,' we are really losing from the actual visible supply of wool only that small percentage which goes off In dust, or Is washed away In the manipula tion of making old woolens into new fabrics. Hence It Is. that notwithstand ing the great Increase In copulation, the urrowth of .the nation. a,nd the ability of iiiw consumers (never greater) to Duy plenty of clothing, and good clothing It they prefer It, the percentage of new wool used compared with the total yard age of goods worn, seems to be growing less rather than more, and wool is lower In the markets than a large majority of the flockmasters feel they can afford to produce It for." Tariff Heeded. He Thiufcs. President Warren said that although the number of sheep In this country Is decreasing, . the . production . of wool Is so great as to keep prices very low. "To remove the tariff on wool." he de clared, "would be to practically blot out our flocks, compel our manufacturers to depend entirely on foreign-grown wool, and finally to raise the price of woolen goods to consumers without benefit to this country from sheep and wool grow ing. . The necessity of securing proper pro tection for the sheep men In all national legislation upon the forestry question, and the importance of Intelligent action to prevent the ravages of scab, were touched upon briefly. The speaker stronsr ly deprecated any antagonism between the Wool Growers' and the Wool Manu facturers' associations, urging harmony and concerted action. He commented at some length upon the shoddy bill now pending before congress. In conclusion tne president said: "We are reasonably certain that pres ent protective tariff legislation will not be disturbed and therefore we apprehend no violent or sudden change in the Indus try. With comparative freedom from ap prehension on this score we should have tlrae and Inclination to seek better meth ode. of preparing our wool for market and more satisfactory methods of mar kettng; a better adjustment of forest reserve conditions and better and closer range relations; a better method for complete eradication of disease, and by ait means, oetter rates and increased fa cuttles for shipping our product. All these subjects I commend to your atten tion and" action." During the morning session tardy or Delated delegates began arriving singly and in squads and quietly took their seats. President Warren's address, read from manuscript, was Intently listened to. At its close it was warmly ap piauaea. The annual report of the secretary. Hon. Mortimer Levering, was read by Tea f. jonnson, who acted as bis as slstant and representative, Mr. Lever lng not being able to attend the conven tlon. The secretary's report follows: "As the new constitution and by-laws permittea, xor the nrst time, the receiv ing of association as members, we have devoted a large amount of attention to wards this work, and while results as yet are not large, we have reason to expect that within a short time we shall include In our membership roster the names or practically all of the Western associations. During the latter part of CHASW. COE. 1 AM AMATIVE OF?

Z. Protests Against JTorest ReserveeX "One of the first subjects? brought to the attention of your swsretary was a vast number of complaints regarding tne wholesale establishment of forest reserves and the general turning out of sheep from the areas so Occupied by the government. The complaints coming to my office Indicated" much Inconvenience and some actual loss to the flockmasters because of this policy on the part of the national government, In the ab sence of any well-defined policy on the part of this association there was very little) that we could do. - All the com plaints were, referred through the presi dent of this association to the proper authorities, and during the visit of Prea MehtJR.ooseyeItjto.the WesLlastsprlng your president was able id call his at I tentlon to some of the conditions to which our-members have objected. As la result an order was issued to elimi nate the non-forest portions of the re serves, as far as possible. , i' .' - Conference With Manufacturers. : 'As there has been much complaint In regard to our rather primitive methods . of marketing wool, your secretary began ' correspondence with officers of the Na tional Association of Wool Manufactur ers, with a view to discovering, if pos slble, the possibility of making improve ments that would be of benefit to our members. This correspondence ulti mately led to the arrangement of a con ference between committees of the two associations. One of the matters con sidered at this meeting was the so called "Grosvenor shoddy bill,' now pend-, nig in the lower house of congress. While' i understand that this proposed legisla tion originated through sheepmen In the National Livestock association, and was presented and urged by that organisa tion, this association has never - for mally acted in regard to it or consid ered it. Inasmuch as the National Asso ciation of Wool Manufacturers has ex hibited great objection to this measure. the committee on conference requested from the members of that association at the conference, arguments and rea sons for their objection to the measure. The arguments presented appeared so reasonable, and were so beyond the abil ity of your committee to refute, that on behalf of this association we requested from the manufacturers a proposition for shoddy legislation according to their Ideas of what might be done and yet not damage the manufacturers, as they insist the proposed Arosvenor bill would f enacted into law. ' 'The word "shoddy apparently means two very different things to' the manu facturer, and woolgrower. To the manu facturer It simply means wool of , a certain kind, and to the average wool grower and layman it means old. dirty and filth-laden rags, so worn and de cayed as to be unfit for any proper use for mankind. Even the members of this association on that committee, many of them for years engaged In the wool Industry, were obliged to con fess that they had never seen shoddy, and they vwere shown some, and the les son learned was so Interesting that we have asked the secretary of the manu facturers organization to present this object lesson to the1 delegates at this convention, - . , . '. Misrepresentation Stopped.' It will be thus seen that the con ference finally reached eommon ground In the agreement that misrepresentation should be stopped, and It was agreed that the manufacturers would try to present at this meeting a suggestion for legis lation to reach that result, upon which tney could join us in active support. Their objections to the Grosvenor bill related largely to technical matters in relation to manufacture and trade which they believe would seriously hamper tneir industry and be indirectly re flected upon the . woolgrowing industry. Tour committee expressed the opinion that no such result was aimed at by the promoters of the Grosvenor bill, and agreed to bring the matter to the at tention of the association at this con vention." . The annual report of the treasurer, Mr. A. J. Knollin, who was unable to be present,' was read by Mr. Johnson. It shows: Treasurer's Heport.

The Elaborate Badges. The badges of the officers are some what striking, not to say startling. They consist of a long colored ribbon, plentifully befringed with gold lace, surmounted by a bronse bar with the name of the office, and are further orna mented wun a meaaiiion snowina a plate of fruit painted in natural colors. For strlklngness of design and florid coloring, also for Impressive porno and gay ornamentation, these insignia cast a deep shade over even the rabbit-foot- sombrero badge of the St. Joseph dele gates to the national stock convention. Officers of the association, adorned with the symbol of their power, unconsciously step a uttie nigner ano a little slower than the common delegates, who have only a small ribbon badge with a smaller fruit medallion.
