The annual meeting of th« Jackson County Stockmen's Association was held in the city hall, Ashland. Saturday after noon. Of the 75 members of the Associ ation, there were probably TH) present, and tin re was much interest shown in the business that came la-fore the Asso ciation. The meeting was culled to order by President Geo. Owens, when the con stitution of the association was read by Secretary F. R Neil. The matter that first came up f< r dis cussion was the brand l/ook that h id la-en issued by the Association recently. The cxrrecsions of dissatisfaction over the book seemed to lx- general, a half dozen or more of those present taking turns in ¡M>inting out its defects. The form of the Ixjok, the inaccuracies of the brands represented, and other shortcom ings, all came hi for a scoring, and the unfortunate publication upjx-ared to have no friends, ft is generally pronounced by the stockmen to be so full of errors to make it practically worthless for the pur pose it was intended. Artical 2, of Section 4, of the constitu tion. providing that the Secretary should go to tin- County Clerk’s office twice each year to obtain any new brands that might have been registered, was upon motion, stricken out. The election of officers was the next or der of business, ami the following were chosen. President Owen was re-elected by ac clamation. For the office of vice president, three names were placed in nomination: Peter Barm burg, of Cove, A. S. Kleinhainmer, of Applegate, mid C. C.

Fort Hubbard, of Med ford, who was the incumbent, was there ujkiii nominated and elected by acclama tion. There being two members of the ex ecutive committee to la- elected, the fol lowing names were placed in nomination: E. B. Barron, C. C. Taylor, Win. Ulrich ami Jos. Rader. A ballot was taken and the two first named were successful. President Owen, who hail lieen a dele gate from the Association to the National Stockmen's convention recently held in Portland, then made a brief rejiort of the topics emphasized there. Th«- subjects of most interest, he^sai«!, were the decline in the price <4 bee* and the causes there for. The cuuse was due entirely to the Combination of the big packers in Chica go. A remedy which was generally ad vocated in the convention was the estab lishment of independent ¡lacking houses. Another question of vital importance was that of transportation, The railroads ha«l refused to return shippers of cattle to their starting ¡Klint. Mr. Owen read excerpts from President Springer's ad dress to the National convention. Following this there was an informal discussion relating to improvements in the wavs of shipping cattle, of the desir ability of electing a delegate to the meet ing of the Stale Associction, and of pro mised laws to benefit the industry which should lie impressed upon our represen tatives in the state legislature. It was then decided that a special meet ing of the Stockmen’s Association should be called to meet the first Saturday in Mav, at 10 o’clock, for the purpose of ar ranging for the publication of a new brand book. Bids will be advertised for and a contract let for its printing. All members of the Association and all those who propose to join are urged to be pre sent or to have their brands or descriptive matter forwarded to the Secretary.
