Meeting of Ja< k*»on County Stockmen'*

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. Taylor of Roxy
precinct- Barneburg and Kleinhainmer
tied for the first place when the latter
withdrew and Barneburg was declared
vice president.
Secretary Neil was chosen as his own
successor by acclamation.
For Treasurer, 1). If. Jackson's name
was presented, but that gentleman with
drew his name. 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.

Hon. Henry E. Ankeny came up Wed
nesday from Eugene to spend a few days
at his Sterling mine. Mr. Ankeny was
in Portland last week and while there
attended the meeting of the Republican
state central committee, holding the
proxy for Jackson County from Theo.
Cameron, member of the state central
committee for this county and who was
unable to attend.
Mr. Ankeny met
prominent Republicans from all the
counties iu the First Congressional Dist
rict and the consensus of opinion was
that Hon. L. T. Harris of Eugene was
the strongest aspirant for congressional
honors. It was the general opinion that
Mr. Hermann was practically out of the
race. As to Hon. W. I. Vawter’s possible
candidacy, Mr. Ankeny state«! tint as
Mr. Vawterhad made no personal canvass
he was not considered a leading candidate,
but that should certain contingencies
arise, Mr. Vawter might prove a strong
candidate. As to Hon. Geo. C. Brownell’s
candidacy Mr. Ankeny stated that the
leading Republicans «lid not take serious
ly the aspirations of ths wiley, trimming
Clackamas politician, considering that
his efforts were only with the object of
trading on the Clackamas delegation for
favors for himself.
