WOOL SHIPMENTS FROM LEHI.
Nearly Half Million Pounds Shorn
and Loaded There.


The last shipment of wool from the
district directly tributary to the sta
ton of Lehi has just been made by the
railroads and figures have been OBJ
tanned as to the total number of
pounds shorn in that neighborhood
Reliable authority says that there
were 10000 head of sheep sheared
near Lehi and the yield of wool was
about 326, 900 pounds. The major por-
ton of this has already gone east for
marketing, some on consignment but
the greater part under direct sale
contract. That not sent east was pur-
chased by the Provo Woollen mills
company. which has been quite fac
tor in the territorial wool markets this
year. OF the clip handled by the rail-
roads the Rio Grande Western sent
out nine carloads and the Union Pa
cific three carloads.
Conservative estimates of the entire
wool clip of the territory for the pres
ent year do not place the total at
more than 1880, 900 pounds and the
greater number fix the yield at lower
figures. This represents a loss in wool
of in the neighborhood of 100000
pounds as compared with the clip of
the previous year. There will be a
great QGCTEdSG Ill tIlS VI
Utah woods, however, and this will
make up for some of the other falling
off. Experts also claim that the staple
rs shorter than in 1894 and use this
as an argument against the prices
asked by the growers, who are inter
ested in getting all they can for their
clips, fully as much as the buyers are
interested in bearing the market.
There is no denying the fact, how
ever, that the prices being paid this
spring are considerably better than
were those fixed last year, notwith-
standing the cries of a ruined in
dustry." Prices have ranged from
6A cents early in the season to 8
cents and even 9 cents now. OF
course the last named figure is only
obtained in the cases of choice clips,
but cents is a common quotation.
One grower from the northeastern
part of the territory was yesterday
offered cents all round for his clip,
which is just coming off the backs of
his sheep. There is no scarcity of
buyers in all parts of the territory
where the wool has not been sold.
The Sanpete country is now sending
out several carloads of wool daily and
other sections Of the territory are con-
tributing their mites, making the
stream continuous. In the northeast
and extreme north the clips are now
being removed daily.

site of the company's proposed works
in Sewer canyon. He reports that the
dam is being put in at a splendid rate
! and it should not be more than SIX
weeks longer before the natural reser-
vior begins to fill up with the waters
! of the Sewer. A good force of men is
! engaged on the work, and it is the inten-
! ton of the company to push the con-
! struction as rapidly as possible in or
| der that the high water may be taken
| advantage of in the storage of the
water.
This dam being put in by the COM
pany takes the form of an apron in
the river some distance above the
mouth of the Sewer canyon, through
which the Sewer river breaks on its
way down the valley and on toward
/ the Sewer lake. Constructed Of stone
and cement masonry, the dam will rise
to considerable height above the bed
of the river and the entire flow of the
Sewer will be forced over the spill.
The size of the reservoir created by
the filling back Of the river is regulat-
| ed by the height of the apron and the
present dam is to hold back sufficient
water to fill the basin of the river
for several miles back and a number
OF open canyons which lead down to
the main canyon. 1t is strictly a stor-

the farmers in the Sewer valley who
desire to increase their acreage. 1t is
estimated that great many thousand
acres of splendid farming lands,
among the best in the territory, can
be brought into state of perfect Gull
tivation through the aid of the water
to be held back and then liberated by
the company. The company has in

Snake Valley Construction.
Upon his arrival in this city, Mr.
Melville held consultation with r. T.
Pettingill, who is also interested In the
Snake Valley Land and Water COM
pany. Mr. Pettingill had just received
the reports of Superintendent of Con-
Struction Joe Bush, who is again in
the city after several weeks spent in
the employ of the company at the
works in Snake valley. There he had
charge of the gang of workmen en-
gagged in rip-rapping the dam recently
completed. His work is now practically
finished, and it is not known whether
or not Mr.. Bush will return to the VAL
ley. The official reports made by Mr..
Bush were considered by Mr.. Mel
vile and Mr.. Pettingill. They showed
that the work of the company is pro-
crossing very favorably. All of the
first section of the east side canal sys-
tenn is completed, with the exception
of some rock work which does not
come within the provisions of the con-
tract entered into with Mr.. Kelly. This
work the company will do, and then
the canal will be ready for the turn
ing in of the water for the first few
miles. AS has been the case for some
time past, the flow of the creek whose
waters are to be impounded by the
company's reservoir, is now passing
out of the basin through the outlet
tunnel and then back into the old
channel through the waste gates at
the head of the canal. The farmers in
the valley and the company have put
in some large tracts of grain and hay
this spring.

A DEAD BIGAMIST.
His Estate Liable to Cause Consid-

San Francisco. May 23.-The estate
of dead bigamist is causing trouble
in the probate court. When David
Jaffe died letters of administration
were issued to his widow, Annie Jaffe.
In another department of the probate
court letters were issued to Fannie
Levin, of Philadelphia, widow of Louis
Levin, upon the same property. When
the two widows found out that they
had had the same husband, they
quietly divided the estate between
them. Now the widow of A. Levitt,
another alias adopted by the same
man. claims a share of the estate,
which has already been distributed.

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.

Chicago. May 23.-With foreign markets
booming and domestic crop damage re-
ports growing more and more numerous,
wheat plunged wildly up and down over a
four-cent range today, ending 115c higher
than yesterday at 7S34c for July. The
cause principally contributary TO The ad-
ditionaI excitement and sensational ad-
vance today was the confederation of the
vorst that was previously reported, of
&c Famage to the crop. 1t is now almost
lznive sally believed that the greatest part
of tho great central area of the wheat
belt has suffered an amount of damage
from various causes which will make this

COMPLETED THE SURVEYS.
Southern Pacific Engineers Have
Located Gunnison Island.

Some time ago the Southern Pacific rail-
road company sent force OF surveyors
into the field for the purpose of locating
exactly on the maps of the territory the
islands of Gunnison and Hat in the Great
Salt Lake, now claimed by Laron Cum
mings and associates and the Utah Guano
company. These islands are those upon
which exist great quantities of that valu-
able fertilizing agent, guano, and the en-
try of the railroad into the field is looked
upon as direct notice that there is going
to be three-cornered fight for suprem-
acy and the possession of the islands,
The engineers sent out by the road have
returned for the second time and their
work being completed the maps showing
the exact location of the islands have
been forwarded to San Francisco for the
inspection of the land officials of the
road.
The first surveys were made without the
surveyors going over to the islands and
these placed both Hat and Gunnison out
of the government grant to the Southern
Pacific, but these returns did not give sat-
isfaction to the resident land agent of the
company, and the engineers were ordered
to go out to Gunnison and make an accu-
rate survey from that vantage point.
This was done, and the work, including
the preparation of maps, has been accom-
plished. Now the aspect of the coming
contest is considerably changed, for it is
stated that the latter surveys have
thrown fully one-half of Gannison into
the odd section, which will be claimed by
the railroad under the land grant, which
odd, section of land on each side of the
track for distance each way of twenty
miles. 1t is anticipated that the company
will at once apply for patents on the ISL
ana, and the official surveys will then be
made.
All of the other claimants hold that
their locations will forestall any action
the railroad may now take. The matter
is now in the courts, and should the des-
ert entry be declared the proper one they
say it will have sway over the claim of
he raj foF hn o.
cation was made before the land was sur
veyed. while on the other hand if the
land is DECLARED to be mineral the placer
claims will be given preference.

Well, perhaps it is because every

Besides the usual competition,
boys are growing into young men
and the same family won't fur
