soula county, and has been a paying
proposition from the start More than

We are informed by one of the prin-
1 cipal wool growers of the upper Brtl-
neau that the wool men of that section
/ have combined for the purpose of re-
pairing the wagon road to Deeth, a
station in Nevada on the Central Pa
cific The reason for this move is be-
cause of the better rates offered by the
| C. P to the east, and as the distance
| to Deeth is but little further than to
any shipping point on the Oregon Short
! Line, they would be greatly benefited
by sending their wool to Deeth. 1t is
very strange that the Union Pacific
should be so blind to their own inter
ests as to let the c. P. take away from
| their road at least half million
pounds of Idaho wool annually.-El
