A witness before the ways and meanc
committee said IN answer to the question
Would free wool give you an increas e
market in this country" Il think that the
effect of free wool would be to diminish the
price of wool, and consequently to disconr
age the sheep raiser; and the moment
we begin to take frc N the worlds produci
any given amount of wool the price would
be raised, and the probability is that WOO
would be ONE considerably dearer than i
now Is. ;"

The glass-case in which they Will be
placed will be of the same size as that
inclosing the buffalo group-12 by 16.
In the foreground the big COW will
stand, reaching up and grasping at a
twig with its tongue and lip. By it
will stand the calf, and the year1ing
moose will be standing by with its
head down and tongue protruding,
licking the calls forehead. The other
moose will be feeding near by. The
bull moose, still to be mounted in the
workshop, will be postured in what is
perhaps the most characteristic atti-
tude. The moose, when it cannot con-
veniently feed upon the leaves of a
sapling by reaching upward, Will throw
its weight against the stem of the
sapling, bend it down, and walk astride
of it. 1t will then feed at ease upon
the succulent twigs and leaves. This
performance is called in moose-hunters'
parlance riding down" tree, and the
moose yet to be rehabilitated will be
represented in the act of feeding on q
sapling which it has ridden down.

d mak-, the scene a truthful repre-
sentation of what a stealthy hunter
who could get near enough to such a
group of moose might actually have
seen.
The larger of the rooms occupied by
the taxidermist is now devoted almost
entirely to the moose. In fact, there
is room on the floor for little else, but
the shelves are covered with casts,
drawings, skies, antlers, and the many
materials used by the taxidermist. On
one shelf is a cast made from the head
of a big moose, showing the great de-
velopment of the flexible nose-a pro-
vision of nature which enables the ami
NAL to pillow beneath the surface of the
crusted snow in winter in search of the
foliage of bushes upon which it feeds
at that season, and also aids as a horn
to give volume and effect to its pecul-
lar and prolonged below when calling
to its mate.
On low platforms on the floor stand
the moose already mounted or in pro-
cess of mounting. The largest of the
group is a COW, and the taxidermist
has about completed work upon this
animal This is the huge creature
from the province of Ontario shot fol
the museum by Col. Clay and which
measured feet inches in height at
the withers. II is as large as a big
horse and weighed 1,5OO pounds. 1t
is represented with legs somewhat
spread and its short neck and long
head stretched at an angle upward,
as if reaching out to seize with Its
tongue and overhanging upper lip a
leaf or twig from the branch of tree.
The shortness of the neck, the size OF
the head, and length of the awkward
looking limbs give the creature a some
what ungainly aspect, but the texider-
mist has stuck to the lines laid down
by natures handiwork. The neck is
SO short that It is with difficulty the

antlers and some deficiencies in the
bony structure supplied by the skill
of the taxidermist. The body, well
rounded out and made In the per-
feet image of moose, was composed,
so far as the +. eye could see, Of
fine excelsior" wound, and packed,
and padded, and nodded, and wired
into the form of muscles and flesh.
There were the shoulders, and the
joints, and the line of the backbone all
brought out and well defined. The legs
had for their foundation or base the
leg bones of the moose rearticulsted by
the taxidermist and strengthened and
supported by slender but strong iron
rods bent into proper shape About
these bones were twined the muscles
and tendons of excelsior" The taxi

scenery, a spot in the prairie where
there is a pool of water and group of
buffalo mounted by the taxidermist In
most ife-like attitudes gathered about
the pool. The animals were secured
by Mr. Hornaday in his famous hunt
for the last of the buffalo" The
scenic accessories down to the last
little tuft of prairie grass were ar
ranged by Mr.. Hornaday, and the buff
falo were mounted by him, all in faith
full conformity with nature, which he
had ample opportunity for studying.
Soon there will be placed near this
buffalo group another of equal size
and Importance. It will tell as well
as one such collection can the life his
tory of the moose. The moose group
will be made up in part of trophies of
Col. Cecil Clay's. The scene to be rep
resented has been all planned and
sketched in black and white by Mr..
Hornaday. Joseph Palmer, the tax
idermist, is mounting the moose in the
various attitudes they will assume in
the complete group. Col, Clay, who
has taken much interest in The work
and has given personal direction to
many of the details, has gone on trip
to Canadian wilds, partly for the pur-
pose of securing right from the spot

Grand Junction, Colorado.

Nesting in the valley of the Grand, shell
tered by distant mountains on all sides, this
promising city is free from hail and snow,
nigh winds and cyclones. 1t enjoys the mild
air of the, Pacific, toned up by the noun
tains. Altitude, 1850 feet. 1t has purer,
dryer air than California and more clear
| sky. Hence a winter resort for invalds.
1t is the land of the peach, the pear, the
apricot. All fruits and crops peculiar to
California Except oranges) grow there
abundantly.
The mountains furnish summer range for
thousands of cate whilst the more limited
winter range is supplemented by the alfalfa
and corn of the valley. Alfalfa yields four
crops per season, one to two tons per acre at
each cutting. The various raisin grapes
grow luxuriantly and are made into raisins.
The market for all fruits, berries and veg
etables is right at hand in the mountain
towns. These fruits have a superior flavor
and command better prices than those OF
Utah and California. Fruit orchards, three
years old, are worth $500 per acre. One
peach tree yielded $50, 800 pounds at 10
cents per pound. Farming is ly irrigation.
The water supply IS inexhaustible. Coal
abounds in veins, 8 to II feet thick, also
beds of asphaltum, fire clay, potters' clay,
iron ore, mineral pant ct. With railroads
will come cheap freights a-d distributing
center. 1t is the natural point for smelters
and railroad shops-all down-hill pull from
the Rockies of central Colorado, on the east,
and from the Wasatch range of central Utah
on the west. The Grand and the Gunnison
and the irrigating canals afford water power
for manufactures.

dermist, by utilizing the skull and
bones of the animal, secures outlines
and dimensions for which nature is
responsible and cannot be questioned.
This half-made bull is almost as large
as the great COW. Colonel Clay is not
satisfied with its size, however, and
hopes to secure one to substitute for it
"a monarch of its race, which will
represent fully the height and size at
tanned by the full-grown old moose
bull. This bull is represented stand
ing quietly and naturally in its tracks,
with its head about the level of its
hump. On the floor lay the leg bones
of another moose shot by Colonel
Clay, and which soon will have to
perform service as part of the
skeleton of moose, whose heart and
vitals, circulatory system, muscles
and flesh will be excelsior. When the
body and limbs have been modelled to
accord perfectly with measurements,
sketches and casts taken from the
animal before it was dismembered the
skin has to be put on, and in this the
skill of the taxidermist is severely
tested. The skin has in the first place
to be removed with much care from
the animal after it is shot. Then it
has to be treated carefully so as to pre-
serve all the natural color and aspect
of the coat, and be kept in flexible
condition without either shrinking or
stretching. Natures tailoring is done
with much nicely, and even when the
taxidermist has natures own materi-
ais, it is not an easy task to secure the
same exactness of fit in one place or
the soft fold in another as that which
characterized the coat of the live ami
NAL. The workman has to study his
subject thoroughly in order to have
his reproduction of nature look COM
Portable in its skin.
The group, when mounted, will be
represented feeding in clump of trees,
birch and ash, such as might be found
in the moose country in Northern
Maine or Ontario in the autumn.
