HIGHER PRICES
FOR UTAH WOOL
Disposition of Eastern Buyers Is to
Take Everything In Sight.
WYOMING'S TAX OPPOSED
REGULATIONS ARE DECLARED TO
BE UNFAIR.

The shearing of sheep through Utah
was resumed yesterday, and from this
time to the first of May it is expected
there will be no further cessation in the
clip. The shearers were busy in the
corrals at Black Rock Fairfield and
Milford. and it is expected that the
clip this week viii be a record breaker.
Considers BILE enthusiasm has been
aroused among wool men because OF
the price paid for I50, 600 pounds al
Milford last Friday. 1t brought %
cents per pound. the highest price
ever paid for southern Utah wool.
There were dozen competitors at the
sale, and the owners. Packard &
lsisoudee, We're much pleased at the
result inasmuch as i was q tacit
acknowledgment Of theory they have
worked on for some time. The success
ful purchasers were Eisemann Brothers
OF Boston. Mass. Of whom Ludwig
Eisemann is at present in Salt Lake
guest at the Knutsford, looking out
for the interests Of his house.
The Milford firm attribute THEN
success to the inbreeding of domestic
sheep with high grade imported stock
and rival breeders in that section OF
the state, it is reported. have already
ordered highly registered stock from
England.
At Price during the past week. a
number of large clips were sold at 1434
and - cents per pound. The same
quality was sold last year for u cents
1t is anticipated that the clip this week
such of it as has not already been
taken under contract, Will command an
even higher figure.
Antagonist From Wyoming.
Considerable feeling has been
aroused among the sheep breeders in
the northern part of the state over the
new law enacted by the legislature OF
Wyoming. This law provides that a
tax Of 3 cents per head shall be as
sessed on all sheep brought into that
state for grazing purposes 1t has beer
customary during years past for Utah
sheepmen to send their fiOcks TO Craze
on the ranges in Wyoming during the
summer months, and the Wyoming
breeders nave been taking the re-
ciprOcal end of the matter by turning
their fiockS loose on Titan grazing
ground in the fall months. OF course
nothing can be done towards repeating
the law for many months to come. but
1t is stated that at the next session OF
the Wyoming legislature an effort vii
be made by the Utah breeders to have
the law repealed Utah does not charge
Wyoming a tax for sheep coming in
from that state, and the breeders OF
this state think they should have
similar courtesy
1t is further announced that the
government sheep inspectors in Wyo-
ming Will be withdrawn in July. by
which time the dipping of all Wyoming
sheep viii probably have been com
pieted. After that the state will have
full charge of the inspection. An effort
viii be made to keep the government
inspectors. as il Is believed that this
fail all scab in Wyoming will be radi-
Gated.

THE STORY OF A STATE
Which illustrates the Power In Politics
Of a Single Resolute Man


Were you ever in Madison, Wiscon-
sin?
It is a very lovely place to be in
the spring.
Around the old state house is a nat
ural park of oak, hickory and walnut
trees. Here the children loiter on
their way to school. They watch the
birds building their nests. They race
with the nimble squirrels that scam
per here and there in all directions,
and sometimes they stop and whisper
together for moment, when they see
John Spooner counseling with group
of hard-faced and sinister looking poll
ticians.
Out on the wood-fringed lakes that
border the well-groomed capital city
on every side are scores of smooth
running launches, crossing and re-
crossing the water in all directions.
while the white sails Of hundred lazy
sail-boats zig-zagging this way and
that show that the people of Wiscon-
sin know how to enjoy the soothing
gentleness of the water.
Over here in one of the larger-sized
GOATS is a group of rollicking students
out for recreation. From them come
peels of merry laughter, for they are
young and full of the energies of grow
ing life. Now you can hear their voices
blending in the harmony of some old
college song, and again they startle
The stiffness of the scene with ring
ing college yell that echoes from one
shore of the lake to the other Over
there in one end of a smaller boat is
comfortable old man trolling for pick
erel. In the other end of the boat a
young girl with ruddy face and with
a long braid of rich hair hanging down

consin girl knows as well how to steer
and row boat, as the fighting COVER
nor knows how to steer or to lead
campaign against the railroad corpora
tions.
BY the way, speaking of the fighting
governor and the railroads of Wis
consin, reminds us that there has been
some very interesting politics there
during the last few years. Wisconsin
is one of the states where the peo-
pie are in politics and where they
stay in the whole year round. They
have learned the wisdom of the maxim
that eternal vigilance is the price
of good government; and they have
learned very practical way of sup
plementing their vigilance with we'll
organized and well-directed energy. A
man only makes nuisance Of himself
when he watches the politics of his
home community or state, watches as
lazy farmer would watch the weeds
growing in his cornfield, or as the
lazy town-man would watch the impu-
dent and indefatigable little dandc-
lions growing up right in his from.
dooryard, too lazy and shiftless to dig
them up.
In some states the people read Of the
crookedness and graft in their poll
tics, and of the rate-extortion and tax
Sinking of their corporations, read
about it and think about it and talk
about it and stew over it, until they
become so pessimistic and disagree
able that they are unfit to associate
with their neighbors, dreaming all the
while that they are really very pat
riotic and high-minded, simply because
they are able to see things that are
wrong. Almost any kind Of a man, if
he has eyes, can see weeds and dan
delions. Almost any kind of man, if
he reads the papers and talks little
with his neighbors, can find out that
there are great many crooked things
in our politics and government that
ought to be made straight But the
real grit in mans character shows
itself when he organizes himself and
his neighbors into action, knocks out
something that is wrong, and puts in
something that is right.
For about twenty years the people
of Wisconsin read and talked and
scolded with each other about their
state government.
What was the matter with it, do you
ask?
Everything was the matter with it.
1t was not a representative govern
ment at ALL 1t was simply a govern
ment by railroads. Impudent and
criminal lobbyists and professional
procurers, who ought to have been in
the penitentiary at hard labor, swag-
gered up and down the state from year
to year, bossing the politics and gov
eminent of the state in the interests of
the railroad and other corporations.
And these corporations, by this means
being shielded from justice, plundered
the people with extortion, at the same
time cheating the public treasury out
of it's just proportion of taxes. Along
with this railroad rule there grew into
the state government of course all
sorts of graft, dishonesty and extrava-
gance in the public affairs, all sorts OF
crookedness, treachery and betrayal in
politics, and all sorts of offensive die
tation from the political bosses who
served the railroad corporations as
faithfully as dogs serve their masters.
How did the railroads get such a

they did, They made an arrangement
with the politicians that the politicians
were to procure from the people con-
troll of the politics and the state gov
eminent, and turn it over to them, and
they paid the politicians for this serv-
ice by giving them free transporta-
ton for themselves, their families and
their political helpers.
Each year these old passholders

rounded up and wheedled their neigh
bors into sending them to the conven.
tions with full power to act. At the
conventions these passholders nomi-
mated men for the legislature who
would be under their control and
would make such laws as the railroad
corporations wanted made. They nom-
mated men for congress who would
do at Washington just what the rail-
