Oregan Wool

We clip the following from an ex-
change. It illustrates the fact that a
little enterprise among our farmers
and producers Is well worth while. We
would however much rather see them
making an effort TO bring the manu-
facturers here where the wool is pro-
duced, and believe 1t is only question
of time when they must come.
RosEBURG, July ls.-The committee
charged with selling the grange wool
pooled at Roseburg and Umpqua de-
clined all bids offered yesterday. This
wool has heretofore brought the highest
price paid for choice Oregon woods
owing 10 its brightness of color and
light shrinkage. Arrangements are
now being made to ship this wool
direct 10 the east. This is considered
a move in the right direction, which
will epen a direct channel from the
producer 10 the manufactures. This
shipment will amount to about q quar-
ter ofa million pounds Of very choice
Umpqua wool.
