County Business Matters.

There has been little business in equal
ization of taxes by the county commits.
sioners. There were few kicks made
but none that showed any great injustice
done by the assessors.
The levy for the road and bridge fund
remains the same as last year; the levy
fol the county fund is the same, but that
of the sinking fund has been raised
S4,5OO over last year.
Treasurer Flint has paid out about
$4,000 to the school townships and for
various expenses, since July l. He still
has plenty of funds on hand to meet all
demands on HIM.
The commissioners are expecting to
get bids before long for the purchase Of
election booths required by the Austral-
ian law. There are two firms making a
speciality Of manufacturing booths and
the agent OF one is expected here soon.
The latest and apparently the best booth
is said to be made of sheet iron ana can
be folded and put away without much
trouble The re-distrlctlng OF the county
into large and inconvenient voting pre-
cincts is found not to be necessary.
There will probably be few changes
made, in this respect, although there is a
desire on the part of a number of resi-
dents OF the First ward to divide that
precinct. n part of this precinct extends
to within short distance of Ypsilanti.
It Is proposed to establish a new voting
place at the Dewey school house, tc save
the distance large number of farmers
have to travel in order to vote IN that
precinct Whether the commissioners
will do this or not is undetermined.

situation. Indeed it must be apparent
to all thinking alliance men Of both
north and south, that such division OF
voters OF the nation as a fourth party
will make, can only result IN the success
Of one of the old parties. The farmers
are nos united in the movement, born OF
the Cincinnati convention. Indeed the
farmers OF the south are more closely
united against it than the farmers in the
north are united for 1t.
While we would not make the sweep
ing charge that there are designing men
in the farmers movement-men bent on
carrying the alliance into one OF the old
parties, yet We cannot refrain from say
ing, that to the average citizen there does
appear in sight, disposition to lean
strongly toward toward the democratic
party.
The Alliance state organ for North
Dakota, Is partly democratic paper,
and is issued out of democratic Office.
This, however, may be partly on account
of superior facilities in and arOund the
Office.
1t is currently reported that an effort
is being made for union OF the alliance
and democracy in the state of Kansas.
In the state OF Texas-the state that
gave birth to and has become the strong
hold of the Farmers alliance-the is to-
day division in the ranks that must
seriously retard the work of the order
A convention of the members of the
alliance who have repudiated portion
of the Ocala platform was held July 1lth
at Fort Worth. This convention called
a national convention to be composed of
brother a.l4aAce men of the United States
to meet in st. Louis, September Is, 1891.
This doubtless is IN opposition to tho
plan of the Cincinnati convention.
The alliance in the state of Miss souri, is
overwhelmingly democratic-and will
work in and with the democracy. This
is doubtless true of the alliance of every
southern state. In their tour of the
south, President Polk and Congressman
Livingston of Georgia, expounded the
plan and principles of the order in detail.
At large alliance gathering al Carroll
ton, Georgia, on June Oath, Col. Living
ston is reported by southern paper to
have made bold and manly defense of
democratic principles, and to have said
that every plank in the Ocala platform ls
pure democratic doctrine. President
Polk and Col. Livingston are good
authority on all matters pertaining to
higher among alliance men.
The outcome of the great reform
movement of the farmers can be only
what they make it. Either power for
good in the land or else power to ele-
vate designing men into lucrative gov
ernmental positions.

\ Big Wool Purchase.

s. Williams, representing the Funsten
commission company OF St. Louis, Mis-
sourl, has been in the city for several
days. During that time he has made
some very large wool purchases. He
bought what remains OF the Lloyd &
Hamilton wool, about $4,000 pounds, and
the clip of the Milsted, Alexander. Will.
liams and various other hocks. His pur.
chases aggregate $4,000 pounds. The
price paid ranged from Il to 1G cents per
pound. according to the quality of the
lots. Mr.. Williams expects to remain
here several days and then proceed to
Edgeley, where they have wool market.
From there he will 60 to Montana, where,
although we'll along in the season, he
expects to find considerable wool. The
jamestown shipment, Mr.. Williams says,
is the largest single shipment his house,
which handles 100000 pounds d year,
has had this year. It is probably the
largest single shipment ever made from
the state.
Mr.. Williams says St. Louis IS rapidly
coming to the front as wool market and
that his and other firms are reaching out
for more territory. This is his first visit
to North Dakota, but hereafter he in
tends to try for the trade of the north
west. The condition of the wool market,
he says, is about as uncertain now as one
year ago. Since the opening of the wool
season in April the price of wool has
dropped y cents. lie looks for an adj
vance this fall, however, j. the big crop
prospects are realized, as that will have a
stimulating effect on all classes of trade.
Mr.. Williams had read the report of the
Edgeley man who cut fleece in two,
shipped one-half from Dakota to a Chi
cago wool man and sent the other half
TO Wisconsin to be shipped from there to
the same man-and was offered 7 cents
a pound more for the half he shipped
from Wisconsin. He discredited the
story although as a resident of st.
Louis he was ready to believe most any
thing of Chicago-but said that il it
really did occur the men who made the
quotations were inexperienced and did
| not know their business. "Wool," says Mr..
W AAAAhtAAs', 40 OousAO OA llS lHo
FACT that Dakota wool is classed as terri
torial does not operate to the dlsadvant-
age of the Dakota sheep raiser. A good
quality OF wool from Dakota will bring
as much in the market as the same quail
ity Of other wool. What determines, IN
large measure, the price of wool Is the
shrinkage. Your North Dakota winds
blow your sheep full of your black dirt
and your wool is less valuable than that
Of Ohio or Wisconsin,. because of it's
greater shr1nkage. The shrinkage IN
preparing your wool for the looms is over
60 per cent. It is fine grade of wool
when secured"
Exclusive OF the purchase of Mr.. Will.
liams, over 100000 pounds of wool have
already been shipped from this place.
Among the large shippers have been
Kirk, Allen & Hathorn with 10000
pounds, Lloyd & Hamilton 10000 and
Frank Jandell $4,000.
