A representative of o large wool
commission house was in The Dalles
the other day. and when asked what
the outlook for wool was this year, re-
| marked that it was one of the uncer-
tainties. "Nobody," he said, s'can
| this early tell what wool will start at,
or what the ruling price will be during
the season. Early in the season Cali
| fornia woods sold at a sharp advance
over last years prices. The advance
was about 25 per cent, or from one and
one-half to two cents per pound more
than offered last year. This was when
buyers believed the tariff bill would
be rushed through congress, and would
become law by the middle of June.
Now there is no assurance that the
tariff bill will be in force before the
middle or last of August, and buyers
will not hazard buying on basis of 10
cents duty with possibility of only G
| cents being levied. At the present
time you might say there is no market
for Oregon woods, but that it will go
at least at last years figures is certain.
The market will open up by the time
half tho clip is in the warehouses, and
holders will have no difficulty in dis
| posing of their wool at some price"

JUDGE MORROW DIFFERS.
Federal Low Views tbe MdcbiDe
as q GQmblinO Device.

United States Circuit Judge Morrow
recently took more stately and Puri-
tanical view of the little machine that
costs the habitual smoker many an
extra dollar. In the patent case of the
Reliance Novelty Company against
Divorced and others the Federal Judge
expressed the opinion that those who
attempt to beat the house" often lose
their hard-earned dollars in playing
the game, and that such is a gam
bling loss.
Counsel argued that the machine was
not a gambling device, because it
might be used as a toy "or as a case
for exhibiting works of art, such as
paintings"
Judge Morrow examined the ma
chine, read the attorneys appeal in it's
behalf, heard several legal harangues,
pored over a dozen muSty Volumes
and concluded that the apparatus pos
sessed no element of utility"
1T is a gambling Device" said the
court, for the losses and winnings of
cigars and drinks are absolutely deter
mined by combinations of cards thrown
up by the machine"
The injunction prayed for by the
Novelty company was, therefore. de-
MED on the ground that the machine
was a gambling device, and as such in
furious to the morals of society. The
decision was made under the we'll
known principle that things contrary
to public morals will not be fostered
directly or indirectly, by the courts Of
the United States
