herself settled on a donation land
claim about three miles north of
this city on the Albany road, and
after the location. of, their home
stead resided in Benton county
continuously until death overlook
them. They, were both highly
respected people.
All her life she was quite de-
termined woman. She had been
ailing somewhat Of late, but her
condition did not seem serious
enough to warrant undue ankle
ty. She was not confined to her
bed, strictly speaking, before her
death The day before she died.
she did not feel very we'll and
! was persuaded to remain in bed
until a later hour than was her
usual habit. On the day of he1
death she remained in her bed a
considerable portion of the day,
but was up for awhile in the af.
ternoon. She complained of the
fact that she had not been up all
day and made light of her con
dition. Her death was more the
result of old age than anything
else, as she was aged 81 years
She still possessed the old home
stead north of this city.

Eight-Inch Pipe Laid for 4s Cents.

Eight-inch sewer pipe. laid, COM
plete, for 46 cents per foot!
That is the record that has been
made by James Kennedy the con-
tractor on the main sewer, in laying
1919 feet of sewer pipe in Boise. ac-
cording to figures submitted to mem
bers of the city council by the city en-
gineer. The figure given represents
only his actual cash outlay, and
makes no allowance for contractors
profits,
This report on the actual expendi-
ture in laying sewer in Boise is espec-
tally interesting in the light of the
bids submitted 10 days ago for laying
$4,000 feet of sewer laterals of the
eight-inch size, which run from $1.15
per foot on up. These bids were re-
jected. and it is expected the council
will shortly readvertise for more bids

WOOL SITUATION.
PRESENT PRICES COMPARED
TO THOSE OF LAST DECADE
In 1880 Washed Wool Sold nj 55
Cents-iigh Range of Values Are
Almost Certain for the Future
Supply of Wool Is Not Increasing
While Demands Are Constantly
Widening.

While it may be futile to attempt
to forecast the course of wool prices
for the year to come, there are certain
considerations which may properly
engage cur attention at the present
time, and without which it is impos-
sible to correctly diagnose the real
position of wool, says the Shepherds 5
Bulletin.
These include the relation of sup
ply to demand, the production of wool,
past, present and prospective, the in
creasing consumption of wool in spite
of the liberal use which has been
made of substitutes in recent years,
the present and prospective needs of
our mills, the importations of foreign
fabrics in relation to the increasing
clothing requirements of our people,
the tendency of the production of wool
to increase or diminish either at
home or abroad, the condition of
general business as affecting the de-
mand for clothing, the monetary sit
uation, etc.
Wool Now Selling High.
That wool is at present selling at a
age price of the past Is years, and
especially as compared with the price
ruling in 1S95-1S96. no one will deny.
But it may not be so generally known
that as compared with the prices rul-
ing in many of the years previous to
1885, the present price of wool is low,
for in 1864 Ohio XIX washed wool sold
at $1.03; in 1880 it sold at 55c; in
1872 it sold at soc; in 1873 at 70c; in
1884, at 4Oc; in 1867, at CSC. On the
other hand, in 1895, it sold at 16 1-2c.
Present Governing Conditions.
The conditions governing the situ-
alton at present, however, are such as
to make for a high range of values.
The burdensome supplies which for
several years hung over the market.
have been wiped out, as the eonsump-
tion Of wool throughout the world
has increased very substantially with
out any corresponding Increase in the
production of the article.
The result has been that consum-
ers of wool find themselves very close
to the sleeps back. and they have
been obliged, in order to obtain their
necessary raw material to take the
new woods quickly or practically as
soon as they have come off the Sleeps
back.
Indeed, many of the clips have been
contracted for by manufacturers be-
fore they were shorn. The woods are
being cleaned up rapidly, and they are
not being taken for speculation--they
are being bought to fill consumers
needs This is apparently the situ-
alton, also, both abroad and at home,
