LIGHTER WOOL CLIP THIS YEAR
BUT IT WILL BE OF A BETTER
GRADE.
Mr.. Andrews Thinks Prices VIII
Range From Twelve to Fifteen
Cents-Is Exceptionally Clean.

Milford. Utah, Feb. l4.-Charles An
drews Of Nephi is here today feeling
around for the coming wool clip. From
reports received and from personal OBJ
servation, Mr.. Andrews calculates that
the 1893 clip will be lighter in weight
than last years, and that it win be of
better grade. The greater part of this
years clip Will go 70 Boston. Mr.. An
drews says it viii range from u to 10
cents, and that a larger per cent this
year viii bring the top price. On ac-
count OF the snow the clip will be ex-
ceptionally clean, and this is Indicated
by the clean condition OF the fallen"
pelts he is buying. He figures that there
will be a harder fight than ever this
spring between the railroads, and that
a big effort will be made TO move wool
by water and rail this year. The rate
last year did not come down until the
water" deal came on, and this being
sprung at the opening of the season
may result in giving Milford and Black
Rock, the Utah common point, rates at
an early date, and even the common
point rate will be less than it was last
wear

Vernal. Feb. 12.-Range riders, just in
from the Blue mountain country. east
of Green river, report cattle dying daily
on the range. One cattleman, who is
ranging ? small bunch in that section.
stated yesterday that he feared the loss
would amount to from so to IS per cent
before the country dries up in the
spring. The heaviest losses in horned
stock are incurred during the spring
bI eak-up, when the cattle, weak from
cold aid hunger, are unable to drag
through the mud and slush.
They then find some sheltered place
under q tree, or some sheltered nook
on the south slope of a hill, and there
lay down to die. Owing to the heavy
rains that flooded this section last fail,
the ground was thoroughly saturated
when the freeze-uo came. It is this
fact, coupled with the unusual depth of
snow, that makes the outlook serious
Tor the ''cowmen," as it is feared that
the mud wiz be almost bottomless
when the breakup comes.
The weather continues very cold, the
thermometer Thursday night falling to
II below zero, and last night to 10.
There is no change in the situation
as concerns the sheep; those who are
feeding believe they viii pull through
with inconsiderable loss, but with
heavy expense for feed. Gradually in
creasing losses are reported from the
range.

Ogden. Feb. ls.
GOOD FRUIT YIELD.
Secretary Wright Says Peach Crop Is
Not Killed


]. A Wright, secretary of the state
board of horticulture. was in Ogden
yesterday. and talked with a Herald
reporter about the effect of the cold
weather on the fruit crops OF Utah. His
report is very encouraging and indi-
Gates that those cases of destruction to
the peach crop reported some time ago
are the exception rather than the rule.
Mr.. Wright is one of the very best
posted fruit growers in the country,
and while the state board of horticul-
ture has as yet arranged no system for
receiving reports, still a great many
come to Mr. Wright from various
sources.
He thinks the peach crop is but lit
tie damaged. The buds on the ends of
the twigs may be destroyed and part
Of the others, but still enough have
survived TO insure a good crop, and the
peaches viii be larger and finer for
having fewer on the trees. The cold
weather. says Mr.. Wright, does not
kill the fruit crops in Utah. 1t is the
alternate freezing and thawing that
does the work
Cases of great destruction are gen.
orally bound to be the result of water
ing the trees too late in the season,
keeping the sap up until after freezing
time But Mr. Wrights observations
lead him to believe that there will be
ample fruit yield this year. The april
cot crop is probably the most damaged.
but this crop is of little commercial
value in Utah. Mr.. Wright is quite sure
that the general fruit crop of Weber
county is not materially injured, and
so far as his information goes there
will be a fair yield all over the state.

Big Price For a Broken Heart.

Not long since a Danville Ills, jury
ordered the male defendant in a breach
of promise case to pay the competent
sum of S54. 80 to the afflicted fair one.
Though it is a pretty high estimate of
blighted affection, there is another es-
innate which, il not in dollars and
cents, exactly as high, yet in general
consideration of excellence reaches as
lofty an altitude. This is the estimate
of the people as to the efficacy of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters as a remedy
for constipation. The action of this
gentle but effective laxative is never
accompanied by the gripping so marked
in the operation of most cathartics. 1t
is an Incompatible remedy for and
preventative of malarial. rheumatic and
kidney complaints, and a promoter of
appetite and sleep.

mains in charge.
Much Inconvenience has been expert
enced the past three days by the food
ing CT the sewer running through the

the space between the two dumps it
seems that the passage way has became
blocked up by rubbish, and owing to

could be carried of, consequently the
storehouses, barns. etc. in that vicin-
ity have had a thorough washing out.
The ]. ]. Williams Comedy company,
from Salt Lake. are billed to play in

They have been talking up the beet

that they will raise beets. So far, the

they have most of their land devoted
