HIGH PRICE
in ALBANY
WYOMING SHEEP MEN GET
SPLENDID RETURNS FROM
WOOL CROP OF YEAR
Record Return Received for Wool
Grown Near Garrett, Selling for
Twenty-slx Cents-Buyers Conf
dent There viii Be no Return to
Free Trade Prices Of Democracy.

The following interesting paragraphs
from the Wyoming letter to the cur.
rent number of The American Sheep
Breeder are interesting as noting that
the highest price paid for wool in Wyo.
ming was for staple grown in this
county, and for the further fact that
wool men are not expecting a return
to the free trade conditions of Cleve-
land and the democratic party, when
wool was hardly worth the shearing
and sheep were rushed to market to
get rid of them:
Albany Wool Tops Market.
The work of gathering statistics on
the wool clip Of Wyoming has been de-
layed, but enough is known to state
that the Wyoming clip of 1906 aggre-
gated 32,500,0 0 pounds, which is an
increase Of owe 100000 pounds over
the clip of 1905. The highest price
paid for Wyoming wool was 26 cents,
and went for a small clip shorn neal
Garrett, in Albany county.
High Average Price.
A number of clips brought 25 cents,
and not less than twenty-five clips
brought "a cents. The average price
paid, however, was between % and 23
cents. The coarser INT poorer quality
woods went for as low as 16 and II
cents. n possibly one or two clips
brought ever less than 16 cents.
Not Looking for Change.
The indications, viewed locally, are
that wool will be worth just as much
next year as during the present season.
This belief is based mainly on the fact
that a number of clips have already
been contracted for at the same price
paid for them this year. The buyers
are evidently confident there will be
no change, or else they are willing to
take a long chance.

GIRL GIVES FISHING LESSON
Woman Turns Auto Light on Trout
and Fools Them Into
Biting Well
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
MACWAHOC, Me-, Sept. S.-A Bos-
ton woman has shown two wise Maine
guides a fishing trick they had never
heard of, thereby winning their indy
ing admira ton. She showed them how
to take trout out of Molunkus river
after they had vainly used every means
known to them. She succeeded in land
ing a creel of as handsome specimens
as have come out of the Mclunkus in
some seasons.
The woman is Mrs. Beardsley, who,
with her husband and two friends,
came here to whip the streams. Sew
eral brooks yielded fair hauls, but no
large fish, and it was decided to try the
more densely wooded territory to the
northeast of here. Consequently the
party went into camp and began fish
ing.
For some reason or other the fish
wouldn't rise. They lay thick in the
deep pools, but neither brown hackle,
professor, silver doctor. Parmacheenee
belle nor any other standard fly in their
books would lure them to the surface.
They were all getting tired of such
sport and were planning to go back to
their automobile, when Mrs. Beardsley
said she thought she knew way to
tempt the big fellows to take hold.

ALCOHOL FROM COFFEE
It Can Be Made From the Bulb Gov
erlng the Bean, Scient-
ist Saws


WASHINGTON, Sept S-Alcohol
may be extracted from the bulb cover
ing the coffee bean, according to a re-
port sent by Consul E. H. Plumacher
Of Maracaibo to the department Of
comerce and labor.
Mr.. Plumacher says:
I'm letter written by Don Enrique
Sanchez of Bucaramanga, republic of
Colombia, to the newspaper Ell. Mer-
curio de Bogota, see the following in
teresting information: Don Enrique
Sanchez states that after many labora-
tory trials 1t has been proved that from
the bulb of the coffee bean a good quail
ity Of alcohol can be extracted. UP
to date the bulb has been useless.
"'It is well known to us in the cof-
fee growing districts that of coffee pods
only the coffee bean has been of value,
the flesh of the pod being a waste
product. If 1t is true that FRONT the
bulb good and sufficient quantity of
alcohol can be extracted by distilla-
ton, 1t is of the greatest benefit to all
reproducing countries, as the al
cohol will be used for Illumination and
for any other purpose.
"'Most of our interior towns and
houses are illuminated by petroleum,
which has to be brought from the
United States in boxes and shipped on
muleback over high mountains and bad
roads to the interior at a great. ex-
pense. The importation of petroleum
to the coffee-growing countries will
suffer greatly and also the revenue of
the ficus, as heavy import duty is
collected, especially in Venezuela"

HELLO GIRLS PUNCH THE BAG
Learning to Deal With Washers"
Dainty Fists Hammer Bag Daily
and Some Are Expert
SpecIal % ING IIeraId.

Special to The Herald.
CINCINNATI, Sept. S.-Five hun
dred Cincinnati ''hello" girls, more or
less pretty and all reasonably young,
are practicing with the punching bags.
The punching bags are being Installed
in all the branches Of the local tele-
phone company. The one already In
position at the main office Is being
punched daily by dainty fists, and has
once been knocked off the wall, 1t is
everred.
While General Manager r. T. Nc
Comas denies harboring designs on the
beauty of the "mashers" who line Vine
street and presistently annoy the tele-
phone girls of the main office on their
way to and from their work, he de-
clares the punching bag lessons will
have been put to good use II some
phone girl does land knockout on a
"masher."
"Sittlng so long at their work inn
pairs the circulation of some of the
girls" he said "and the use of this
punching bag during their rest time
will correct this. Long arms are a
necessity In the telephone business, and
we think this exercce will tend to
lengthen and strengthen the arms of
the operators, making them more ef-
ficient and quicker at their work"
Some Of the girls are members of the
North Turner society and experts at the
punching bag. These girls teach the
Others and one girl at the main Office
can keep the bag going for fifteen min
utes with fists and elbows, and another
punches the bag with her head.
The exercise is taken regularly before
luncheon and at the rest periods"
