The Dalles is becoming itself once
more. The streets in the East End are
lined with wool teams, and the ware
houses are busily engaged receiving
the sheepmen's harvest, while freight.
ers throng the stores buying supplies
to take to their homes in the interior.
The wool ieceived is generally of good
quality, and should command q fair
price.
A wool buyer remarked today that |
the wool market was "sort OF out of |
joint" and it really seems that it is.
While there are few buyers here
they are not making offers of any
account. Ordinarily the wool market
opens brisk by June 1st, but that is
not the case this year. Buyers must
all be of to the war, or are waiting
for little more duty. Abont all that
any of them haye offered so far is 8 to
10 cents a pound.

'u the money question should by all
means hear him. Mr.. Lentz was an
'dvocate of the gold standard until hs
thoroughly Investigated affairs on
Vail street, then he became a silver
nan.
