In the west supplies are small, both
in the leading markets and in country
sections. Boston dealers find it more

The Mills.
The general condition of the wooden
and worsted industry is satisfactory.
The lightweight mems e season
has been uneven, but the volume of
initial orders has been up to expecta-
lions in many cases. Some manufac-
turers are not entirely satisfied. They,
however, and all others look for big
things from the next heavyweight
season, and If it equals their expecta-
tions it is hard to see where the wool
to make the goods is to come from.
Foreign Markets.
The London market is decidedly
firm and prices r strong as they are
here. This, too, in spite Of the fact
that over 40 per cent of machinery
is idle. Still this is partly caused
by the high level Of wool values. There
is no money in tops. Not only In
London, hut in German, French AMI

At the London auction sales, opening
September 20, extremely strong prices
on merinos are expected. Reports,
however, from many sources are to
the effect that crossbreds are good
for another year.
The Liverpool auctions, also begin

strong, with probable offerings Of 80,

a special to the Sioux City Journal
from Speariish tells of condition in
that vicinity that is equally true here.
"Very few eastern people are familiar
with the prices of farming land where
it can be irrigated.
"Charles Pierson and his father own
1000 acres of irrigated ground, which
before the water was turned on was
worth not to exceed $40 an acre. 1t is
now valued at 5000 an acre. This week
ten acres of ground along the Spearfish
ditch near town were sold for 5000 an
acre. Spearfish valley has good many
farms that are entirely under irrigation
and that could not be- bought for less
than $50 an acre. The soil is adapted
to raising all kinds of grains, and espe-
cially fruits. The opinion is that the
ground in the vicinity of the Belle
Fourche irrigating scheme will be
equally as valuable as soon as water is
turned on"

To the woman in the trolley car who

There's medal for the man who really

There's a medal for the actor who admits

There's a medal for the poet who refrains

There's q medal for the voiceless girl who

There's a medal for the father of his

Your StadoM

"SIay your shadow never grow less"
or ''be less That is Il familiar salu-
tation. The origin is dim, but may be
as follows: When persons have made
certain progress in the black arts they
are compelled to run through sub
terranean hall, With the evil one after
them. If they run SO fast that his
Satanic majesty can catch only their
shadow or part of it they become first
rate magicians. but lose either all or
part of their shadow. The expression
means: May You escape wholly and
entirely from the clutches of the foul
fiend.
1t is we'll known that after a man
reaches the age of about fifty-tive his
stature grows shorter; therefore his
shadow must be less. To say. May
your shadow never grow less" means,
MAY you never grow older. New

Shocked His Nnt.on.

A somewhat striking story dealing
with The now obsolete conventional
suicide, 'h;iriNiri' OF happy dis
patch" once common in Japan, is told
by the French Admiral Gourdon.
When he w;ls Il youn:s man he had a
comrade who having assisted in the
organizing of the Japanese navy, was
subsequently raised to the rank of adj
miral in that force. He took the part
of the tycoon against the millado iii
the revolutionary war and, having
been captured, was tried by court mar
tial and sentenced TO death, which in
those days implied 'harillil'i." When,
however, the fatal sword was present.
ed to him he tlatly refused to kill him-
self and declared that if he was to die
somebody else must kill him. Threats
and entreaties alike proved unavailing
He rcsolutely refused. The whole OF
Japan was scan.laliZed at such immor-
al behavior, which. however, saved his
life. The Japanese penal code had
never contemplated such contingency
rs q man inaulnan enough to refuse
the "hari!siri." and in the end he was
banished from the country and re-
turned to I'rance.-s,t. James Gazette.

Magnificent Collection, Showing that the

Variety Can be Raised.
To interest and instruct the eastern
visitors and real estate seekers Il
collection of fruit and vegetables was
hurriedly gotten together this week,
although only a few exhibitions we're
made, for the reason that it was not
decided to gather anything of the kind
until too late TO get them in before
Tuesday The few who learned what
was wanted, however, brought in a
magnificent eXhibit-making regular
country fair show, and of the very
finest collection one could imagine; in
fact it was a surprise and eye-opener
to many of our own residents. The
exhibit was made on the Evans porch,
excepting that of G. III. Duennerman,
who exhibited at r. r. Thomas store.
The Martin Valley Co. had a fine
display of alfalfa, beets, carrots and
ruta bagas.
Scovel Bros. had potatoes, melons, a
variety of apples, grapes and plums-
making an elegant display.
Herman Mailer had apples and vel.
low dent corn-the latter being grown
on sod, the stalks being over seven
feet tall, and the ears about foot in
length.
Ira Tillotson had plums and three
varieties of grapes, large, round and
of the most luscious aavor-and the
vines are heavily loaded.
Henry Friday exhibited variety OF
beautiful apples from his young or
chard, which is beginning to bear heav
lily and will soon oe great source OF
profit.
Fred Noerrenhurg sent in three va.
rieties of pears that would make some
of the California fruit growers envious
Also some large, handsome apples
They were immense size and sound
showing that Fred is getting his or

John Ii. Evans displayed some of the

The entire exhibit was an attractiv
