The Wool Situation.

Tie following circular has been sen,
out by Silberman Brothers, of Chicago
Scarcity of supplies has been the fea.
ture which has dominated the season oil
1904-l905, and a review of this wool
year just closing finds prices on level
that is by no means unreasonable from
a statistical point of view. Rarely, il
eyer, have all branches of the trade
been so lightly stocked, and since bust
ness has been strictly governed by laws
of supply and demand, the condition OF
affairs Is essentially sound.
The war in the East has no doubt
contributed a beneficial effect on the
market. Valuable support was afford
ed almost at the commencement of the
war to the manufacturer of coarse goods
by large requirements of blankets and
khaki for both sides, and it is to be
noted that there are no signs of any
slackenipg in this demand.
The actual result from the above has
been that the shortage became more
felt as the year progressed, and conse-
ouentlv. prices have tended upward
without any slight setback up to Febru-
ary, 1905.
Since then, owing to the heavy inn
portation Of wool from South America
(Which is competing very strongly with
our quarter. blood grade), the quantity
exceeding nearly double that of the
previous season, in consequence there
of, the price on such wool declined two
cents per pound from the highest point
but wool of finer grade stands
nnmoved and firm at present prices.
The lower grades have reached a
igure, which, in comparison with the
prices current during the past few

years, seems to many excessive, and
the question is naturally asked whether
the basis of today can be maintained
when large supplies come forward
Usually, in the wool Trade, the effect
OF additional quantities is discounted
considerably in advance of the actual
arrival Of such increase Therefore, the
near future should probably Indicate
whether manufacturers intend to accept
current rates as firmly established. or
whether they will be successful in
forcing dealers to operate at a reduced
level.
The present position OF Merino bred
wool points to continuance of the
methods existing for some time past.
viz: buying to cover actual needs and
keeping stocks down to very moderate
supply. That this policy has been
practically universal throughout the
past year, may be looked upon as a
forclble argument against any possible
ty of slump, and also as a cogent rea-
son against any substantial alteration in
values.
Reasons for continuation of an
active market and high prices are as
follows
The influence by limited supply.
The manufacturers goods we'll sold
up, in this as we'll as in foreign coun-
tries.
With no serious strikes or labor
trouble on hand.
An excellent prospect for good crops.
With no financial strngency in sight.
Or prosperity of the coming year
Thus, summing up the facts as they
are before us, we can reasonably be as
sured Of continuance OF high prices no
wool for some time to come.

A Little Child's Death.

Edward Lee, the little son of Mr..

Plentiful

Price, titan. g.23.-With the
near approach OF the opening of the
Jlntah reservation to mineral loca-
llons the reserve is naturally the nee
ca OF hundreds of prospectors. all
OF whom have the one purpose, first.
OF finding the fabeled Caleb Rhodes
lost gold mine. and incidentally, as
II We're, picking up anything erse
that may happen to look good.
With Rhodes, who was a trapper
and prospector there in the early
days of thih section died the secret
OF the whereabouts OF this mine.
which during his life he was often
heard to say was big enough to liq-
uidate the national debt. Rhodes
passed away at his home near Price
some three months ago and though
his demise was sudden. il is believed
by many that he left with his wife
plats and maps that would lead to
the mine. Others who have less
faith do not think that Rhodes ever
had mine on the reservation and
that the whole thing is myth
But be this as it may. there are
those who think enough of the fabu-
lous gold mine story to seek out its
location, and they have gone so far
as to gain the friendship and atten-
tion of the widow and are hopeful of
results Last week Mrs. Rhodes left
the little farm north and west of
Price in the care of the help about
the place, and Quitting for the res
ervation started for that country. Ac-
companied by Joseph r. Sharp of
Sunnyside, DR.. A. w. Dove of the
same place, and Thomas Rhodes of
Helper, the latter a brother of the
late Caleb Rhodes. The party has
now been out a week and it is believ-
ed to be at this time in the north
range of the Uintah mountains to the
east of Heber city and to the west of
Nernal. Their departure they an
nounced to no one. and their return
is entirely problematical. They were
equipped for a long stay.
The widow of the late Caleb Rhod-
es is well advanced in years, but des-
pite this is well and hearty and cap
able of standing much hardship OF
the character that would be naturally
encountered On the other hand, it
is not likely that if she possesses the
information as to the location of the
mine she would intrust its locality
sixty days after the opening of the
reservation proper. If on a forest re
serve. of course the location may be
made now. as well as at some future
time. In this present quest for its
whereabouts one Hathenhrook of
Provo. who is supposed to have been
the partner of Caleb Rhodes in the
property, appears to have not been
consulted and it may be that the
understanding of the two ended so
far as Mrs. Rhodes is concerned
with the death of her husband.

ROaStS the

Yesterday the Colorado State Fair
association was handed burning
roast by the Glenwood Springs Ava
ianche. The fair Official had written

asked that the Avalanche run 24-
inch display advertisement for the
fair free OF charge. Editor Holmes
says that the request Jared him con
siderably but he replied. tur.iur
down the proposition cold and hard
stating that as the state had approp-
rated $4,000 it seemed TO him that
the printers OF the state might get
a little something for their worl, and
that the management OF the state
fair had evidently reached the high
est pinnacle of gall
In commenting further upon the
article the Avalanche has the follow
ing TO say:
We have watched the action of the
State Fair board and have con
cluded that they are no more a state
fair for the reason that no county
can get in an exhibit of their produce
TO Pueblo and she has forfeited the
right to the name State Fair" this
year.
The farmers club of this district
set their fair on the week now oc-
cupied by the Pueblo affair but had
10 change it because Pueblo approp-
rated that date. The managers of
the concern in Pueblo are deserving
the condemnation of every paper in
the state instead OF giving them free
advertising and the Avalanche has
held in on its Indignation long
enough and We have to advise our
readers that If they go to the State
Fair they will see only local eNhib-

that the Pueblo fair is nice juicy
