Wenas Station to Have DEPOT.

The people of Selah valley are rejdic-
ing over the fact that there is in process
OF completion at Wenas station a new
depot and it is presumed that hereafter
passenger trains will stop at that point.
Wenas is an important shipping point,
and the Northern Pacific company has
frequently been petitioned by the people
OF the Selah to give them passenger train
service as well as freight accommodation.
1t is probable that they will at first get
but one passenger train day each way,
but even that will be great accommo-
dation.

The high duties on wool have not had

The high duties on wool have not had
the promised effect 1t was asserted
that if the sheep raisers were well pro-
tected such stimulus would be given
to the production of wool that this coun-
try would become quite independent of
foreign supplies and the decline IN price
would ensue which has ensued in the
case of other protected products. What
has proved true in other industries has
not proved true in the raw wool indus
try. The wooden manufacturers are not
supplied by the American flock masters
with sufficient quantities of the different
kinds OF wool they need. There has
been regretable decrease in the con-
sumption of wool per head.
The protected sheepraisers are not
keeping their part of the bargain made
with them, and as consequence the
people are obliged to use less wool.
Lower duties on that article will give
the sheepraisers all the protection they
are entitled to and give Americans an
opportunity to wear better clothing

Something About the Wool consumrt,Ou

In lS9O-eleven and half years ago
the consumption of wool handled by
American manufacturers was trifie
over six pounds per capita-says an ex-
change.
In the census year of 1900 the average
consumption was only five and a hall
pounds. The people were more pros
porous in 1900 than in 1890, but they
used less wool per head. But the last
census year showed an increased con-
sumption of cotton per capita as com
pared with the preceding census year.
The American manufacturers used in
1890 l, 1913, 000,0 900 pounds OF cotton, and
in 1900 $40, 100000 pounds. In the
first named year 372, zoe, 900 pounds OF
wool were used as against 4l2, 300, 900
two years ago.
There have been times when the per
capita consumption of wool in the Unit
ed States was so per cent greater than
it was in 1900. The American people,
so many of whom live in northern lati-
tudes, would use wool more freely if
they could get it more cheaply. Its
extra cost, due to high tariff duties, has
decreased the average consumption of
an important product and led 10 the
more extensive use of cotton.

Runaway on Avenue.

The delivery team of the II. H. Schott
Co., driven by Walter Chambers, while
crossing the railroad track on Yakima
avenue, Thursday afternoon suddenly
became frightened at an engine and
started full speed down the avenue.
Reaching the corner of Second street
the team swerved to the right, smashed
into buggy and carriage, tearing off
the hind wheels of both and leaving the
debris behind. The horses then became
detached from the wagon and were soon

Chambers stayed with the horses until
they became entirely unmanageable, at

scene to square up the damage done by
the runaway team.

Must Be Crazy.

From Rutherford county, \. c..
comes a report Of one Of the most un-
usual affairs. A man has made all
preparatiOnS to commit suicide, and
intends to make of it a gala occasion.
Allen Cogsdell is an aged, wealthy
and very eccentric farmer Of that Sec
ton. 1t is said be has sent out in
vitations to all of his numerous re-
latives to attend a big dinner which he
intends to give at his home on June
10. The unique feature Of the in
yitation. it is said, is that it contains
the announcement that at the noon
hour, sharp, those present are to have
the pleasure and experience the novel
sensation of seeing him take his own
life. Mr. Cogsdell is Confederate
veteran. In his invitation he does
not announce the method he will en-
ploy in dispatching himself: but he is
still the proud posSesSOr Of his old
army revolver, and those who know
him we'll are impressed with the be-
lief that he will attempt to Use the
weapon upon himself.
