UTAH's WOOL CLIP.
Individual Yield Has Been Placed
ut Last Years Figures


For some time past, W. l.. Pickard,
acting for the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers of Boston, has been
engaged in preparing the usual annual
statistics on the wool industry in this
territory for Incorporation within the
yearly report of the association which is
issued about the first of the coming
month. or sometimes little later. The
gentleman has received practically all
of the production statements made by
the growers and is enabled to fix the
average individual yield for the territory
and therefore the total clip. The former
is placed at 61a pounds, and this brings
the wool clip of the territory up to L.
$4,000 pounds, an increase of half mil
lion pounds over the total given by the
association as the yield for the year 1894.
According to the reports of the govern
ment and also those of growers. there
were in this territory on the first of April
this year, 1,S97,622 head of sheep, and
with an individual yield of 81. pounds,
the total clip given would result. Some
of the herds of the territory averaged
as high as 1912 pounds per head. This
was an exceptionally heavy YIELD but
there were others which cut the figures
very closely. These clips were recorded
in the northeastern part of the territory
near the Utah-Wyoming line. The gen
eral average was fixed at 61a pounds
however
The wool season in this territory closed
some time ago but there are still a few
small clips struggling in, and during the
present week Mr.. Pickard will make a
shipment of carload he has purchased
in driblcts.
Reports from the outside are to the
effect that the sheep of the territory are
in splendid shape. Most of the herds
are away up in the timbers and the
ranges are in fairly good condition. Some
heavy shipments of mutton have been
made from the territory during the past
few weeks, but the recent slump in

THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT.
Idea Has Been Abandoned

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Another report

is to have absolute power to examine
books, vouchers and accounts of any
road in the association suspected of
rate cutting. If the suspicion should
be supported by the records, the Of
ficials responsible for the cutting, be
they high or low, are TO be instantly
discharged There are sixteen roads in
the association, so that provision has
been made for q, representation of
majority of them on the governing
board. The pooling idea has been
abandoned until it can be carried out
legally and until pooling agreement
can be enforced by the courts. The
idea of joint agencies has also been
abandoned and each road is to be al
lowed to work as hard as it pleases for
the business and take all it can get, as
long as it does not cut rates. 1t is be-
lieved that the strict enforcement of
the provision calling for the discharge

peared to ibe excellent authority that
negotiations are now pending for the
consolidation of the Pullman and Wag-

lures for the consolidation are said to
have come from the Wagner company.
George NJ Pullman denied that there
is anything in the story, as far as he
knows. but by some of the railroad

matte one, they claiming that neither
party to the alleged consolidation will

district, after having spent several
days in an inspection of all of the prin-
cipal properties in the district They
went out primarily for the purpose of
interesting themselves in a group Of
claims in the south country, but the
examination did not reveal a showing
of sufficient promise and the deal did
not go. II is more than likely that
the gentlemen viii invest in the dis

still being several other propositions
now before them.

with the south country. or that portion
OF the district in the neighborhood of
the Sunshine. He is of the opinion that

the Mercur end. Every day the de-
Velopments going on there are showing
up new riches and the section is truly
wonder. OF course, the Sunshine ranks
far and away ahead of any other
property in the south end, but there
are several other groups which give
splendid promise and il seems TO be
but a matter of development with
them. The Sunshine is being splendid

superior to the others in every respect.
1t is entirely free from all adulterat ton
