Can't Get Wool.

Washington, Utah, Nov. 29.-Thom,
IS Judd, lessee of the Rio Virgen mills
has given notice that he will termi-
nate his lease of the mills next Octo-
Der. The chief reason assigned is the
difficulty of obtaining wool to run the
factory, that product being influenced
greatly by the cash market. Mr.. Judd
also desires to devote more of his time
TO his ranch near Toquerville; and
the fruit industry, this line being a
speciality with him.
The factory is running up to its full
capacity now, and doing its usual fall
trade in the various products of the
country. Though it is not likely to
run longer than June next, owing to a
lack of material
Lessee Judd intends settling every
thing up prior to his transfer back to
the company's property. And will
leave few accounts unpaid. He is no.
tifying creditors to this effect
