A correspondent Of the Denver Re

growers are holding their wool clips
for % cents perpound. This fact was
ascertained by an eastern wool buy

have contracted their spring clip for
10 and 20 cents but the majority be-
lieve WDol will advance to % and
even - cents per pound and will not
make any contracts for "a cent less.
A majority who have been asked re-
garding the matter say the fleeces
this year will be heavier by one or
two pounds than they have been
heretofore. This is accounted for by
the fact that owners have been
breeding "a better grade Of w~ool-pro-

TELEPHONE MIN QUIT
EMPLOYEES OF THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY COMPANY GO OUT
ON STRIKE
NO DEMAND FOR AN INCREASE
Local Manager Says That Action OF
the Men Will in No Way
Delay the
Work.

The Mississippi Valley Telephone compa-
ny had trouble with some of its employees
yesterday hatresulted in batweea ten AMI
twenty men employed on construction
work going out on a strike. Local Man
ager G. d. Sheibley says the action Of
the men will in no way interfere with
the work of the company. According to
statements from both sides the trouble
was due to delay in paying employees for
the month of February. The men who
quit work say there was no demand for
an Increase in wages, but that they de-
manded regular pay day and their back
pay. This is generally corroborated by
Local Manager Sheibley, who admits that
no employees of the company have as yet
received their pay for last month. He
says. however, that the company pays
the 10th of each month, and claims that
because payments had been delayed two
or three days there is no occasion for
dissatisfaction among the employees. He
says there are seVenty-five men employed
on construction work, and that but ten
of these employees quit.
According to Manager Sheibley, several
of those who quit had offers of better
pay AIolh rival telephone company, ana
left to accept new positions.
One of the strikers says the company
has been irregular in paying is empl yes.
and the men finally decided to demand a
regular pay day. 1t is claimed that near
ly every employe is behind month with
the pay, while others have not been paid
for two months.
Manager Sheibley says the pay roll will
probably be made up by tomorrow, when,
he claims, every employee will be paid in
full.

SIXTH STREET TROLLEY.
New White Bear Line Considered by
Street Committee.

The assembly commit zee on streets took
up the ordinance granting franchise 10,
an electric street railway to r. T. OCOn-
nor G. w. Bum, f. B. Howell, Theod IRE
Borup ami E. A Young, at it's meeting
yesterday afternoon. Carl Taylor, attor-
ney for the new company, said that it's
purpose was to construct and operate a
line from White Bear lake to the center
of the city. Permission to construct the
line outside the city limits had been Sc
cured, and all that was needed Yves for
the council to grant the use of the stree s
mentioned in the ordinance.
Assemblyman Nelson thought II unW;s
to allow any street railway tracks on
Sixth street.
Assemblyman Thompson Questioned
whether the city had the right, under tn
franchise granted TO the st. Paul Street
Railway company, to give any franchise
to a new or competing company.
Mr. Taylor said the new company would
take its chances on this point if the coun-
ell would grant the franchise.
The ordinance will be discussed at
length and amendments offered in the
way of paying gross earnings taxes, at a
special meeting of the committee to 3e
held next Tuesday evening. The pro-
posed route is on Book street, Prosperity
avenue, Maryland street. Arcade street,
Sixth street Sibley street, Ninth street
loop being formed by Ninth, Exchange
and Cedar streets.
The committee recommended for pas
sage an ordinance fixing the pay of po-
lice sergeants at SIS per month, an IN
crease Of $3.50 per month over the wages
now paid. Chief Getchell recommended
the increase.

come back to his family. This, it is said,
is the earnest desire of Bongard.
The only difficulty in the way of ac-
complishing this is the temper of the peo-
pie of Carver county. This is the fourth
defalcation that has occurred, and they
are exasperated. At present many Of
