New regulations for controlling the

of additions to regulations formerly is
sued under act of January IL, 1898, re-
lating to reservoirs for live stock uses.
The law and regulations issuedsunder
il have been greatly abuseda by re
heated locations of those who seek to
monopolize spublic lands to the exclu-
sion of those who wants to locate
homes. New regulations will limit the
right to these sites to those actually
engaged in breeding, grazing and

Several Texas sheepmen were held
up at the territorial line this week, by

The wool buyers of Wyoming, Col
orado and New Mexico, are now in
their busiest season. They are cover
ing those states on the jump in their
eagerness to get hold of the big wool
clips. The reason for their unusual
activity, even in the clipping season,
is that prices are advancing, and are
expected to 60 higher than they have
been for years. Although the sheep
shearing season has only been on few
weeks, values for wool are up to 125
per cent of what they we're a few
months ago. The dealers are slow to
admit the advance, but on the other
hand they are doing their best to get
hold of everything desirable. Sales OF
the new clip in Wyoming have been
made at Is and Ia cents for the fine and
medium grades, but MANY of the flock
owners are holding their product
above the present market or
are not selling at all. with
the expectation of higher prices to
come. New Mexico dealers have offer
ed two to three cents pound above
what they were paying, with free
manner becoming to millionaires. The
raise is not attributed in any great
degree to the winter loss of the animals,
which has been estimated at 10 per
cent. If 10 per cent loss of sheep
should cause a raise of 25 or 80 per cent
in wool values, it would have been a

WOODEN mills, as we'll as those foreign

more goods than they are replacing
with raw material, and it is an antici-
patton of their needs that gives hope
for a further Jump in the price of wool.
Meanwhile the wool Esituation in this
state is very good and the flock owners
who have not already sold their years
product as we'll a. dealers in the sta
