ELK RIVER, Mimi, Aug. 27.-Elk
River defeated Monticello to-day at the
latter place ina well-played and hotly-con-
tested game of ball, and won by score of
6 to z, ten innings being necessary to decide
the game. The game abounded in fine
plays from beginning to end. Vance, in
the box, did very effective work, only six
single hits being made off him. He
struck out fifteen men. Elk River
batted well, making nine base hits, with
a total of thirteen bases. King making a
home run in the second inning. Webster,
the umpire, favored Monticello throughout.
Wagner and Stacy, formerly of the Mime
apolis league nine. were the battery for
Monticello, and Vance and Stockton for
Elk River. This gives Elk River two out
of three games played with Monticello and
the majority of games played during the
season. This makes them the amateur
champions of the Northwest

EAU CLAIRE, Aug. 27.-The possibility
OF a log famine as result of the phenom-
email drouth this summer has caused the
discussion among the lumber manufacture
erS of the Chippewa valley of the desirable
itY of concerted plan to avoid it. The
recent rains have. accomplished something,
but not enough. 1t has been proposed that
the running of lumber on the Chippewa be
suspended one week, or longer ii neceS-
sary, and that, during that time, all the
dams on the river and its tributaries be
closed. This plan of operations would per-
nit volume of water to accumulate which
would be sufficient to make a rise of at
least six or eight feet, which ought to
sweep down twenty or thirty millions of
logs scattered along the river. This would
give stock enough to run nearly all the
mills until late in the autumn. Some such
plan will be a necessity if the September
rise fails to materialZe, and the scheme
will probably be executed. No driving is
being done on the Chippewa or any of its
tributaries except the Eau Claire.
The trade outlook is fair enough so that
the lumber manufacturers of the Chippewa
valley will be in no hurry to shut down
their saw mills this fall and they will in
most cases desire to run as late as possible,
the prevalence of the ten-hour system also
having tendency to prolong the saving
season The market continues firm at the
recent advance of 81 1000. and
while the general tenor of the
expression of the lumber manufacturers
is that there is no money in the business
this year, the lumber trade is in a much
healthier condition than seemed probable
at the opening of the season. The lumber
cut Of the valley last year, about 375, 000,-
600 feet, showed reduction of about TO-
600, 600 feet of the cut of 1854, which was
about 445, 600, 600 feet. 1t is believed that
the cut this year will probably reach the
those of 1884. There is determination
that there shall be no overproduction of
lumber in this region this season. and no
excessive log cut next winter, such as have
depressed the business i'll the past. That
there is no great danger of these evils is
shown by the following approximate fig
ures. showing the present stock of lumber
on hand at the three centerS of the lumber
industry of the Chippewa valley, and the
absence Of this danger is illustrated by the
further fact that the surplus of logs to be
left over on the streams this fall in all prob
ability be only about twO-thirdS as great as
the surplus left over at the close of opera
tons in the fall of 1885. and that there was
at least third more lumber in stock at this
time in 1855 than there is at present.

SHEEP IN FRANCE.

Our Paris correspondent says that it
is asserted that the number of sheep is
diminishing in Europe. This is attribute
ed to more land being brought into arabic
cultivation, and cropped with roots and
forage plants. But the total amount of
meat and wool does not appear to have
decreased. The observations apply es-
pecially to France since thirty years.
There has been augmented consumption,
but then also the population has increas-
ed. They are those regions which
export sheep where the falling off is
greatest. The experiments now taking
place in the Jardin' Acclimation of Paris,
may in time remedy this decadence
Since 90 years the Chinese sheep have
been introduced; they lamb twice year
produce from four to six at birth, and
all healthy. 1t is now intended to pre-,
sent some of this breed to the eXperimen-
tai farms, to cross with the Merinos, as
the climate of France has in no way
affected the special property of the
Chinese race of sheep-fecundity.- Mich

AMERICAN WOOL.

The following is from the report of
Commissioner of Agriculture Coleman:
San act of Congress of April |, 1880.
authorized the commissioner of agricul-
ture to attend the International Sheen
and Wool show to be held in Philadelphia
in September of that year, and to make a
report thereon. At that exhibition there
were collected samples of wool from the
different breeds of sheep exhibited, and
their examination undertaken with IA
view to their careful measurement for
fineness of fiber, tensile strength, etc.
As this examination progressed, it be-
came apparent that most valuable infor-
nation, both from the producer and
consumer, would result. The samples
were largely augmented by contributions
from every wool-producing section, and
a careful, patient, and elaborate system
of tests and examinations was entered
upon to show the varying tensile
strength, ductility, and elasticity of woods
from different breeds of sheep, and from
the same breeds under different condi-
tons of feeding, climate and manage
ment. The report upon this investigation
has long been ready for the printer, the
Illustrations to accompany it having been
prepared and paid for. The work is a
scientific Endorsement of the value of
American wool. 1t shows clearly that
wool can be produced in the United
States equal to that of any country in the
world, and embraces information which
it has cost many thousands of dollars to
procure and tabulate. The great wool
industry is entitled to the information
which it was the evident design of Con-
gress it should have, and would respect
fully urge the Importance of the imme
date printing of the report for the benefit
of all concerned"
