Idaho, in the buoyancy and
wild exuberance of younger days,
was known s''wild and woolly."
The adjective wild is no long
er applicable, but Idaho is now
woolly. in a literal, not a figura-
tive sense. The state has 5000.
900 sheep. and the number will
gradually increase. Idaho wool
lis shipped to eastern factories
and shipped back to the west in
woolen goods. Now if the sheep
men of Idaho would put up
woolen factory of their own.
couldn't they successfully com
pete with the eastern factories,
which have to pay freight both
ways ? They surely could. They
would thus always have a mark
ell for their wool. and the wooden
mill would also, be a paying in
vestment, and not only a source
of profit to the wool growers but
to the state as well. The money
that now goes east for woolen
goods would be kept at home.
