Wool Market.
Reported by D. Davis.& Son, Graders
of Wool for Manufacturers,
Louisville, KY.

The weather has frightened up
considerably and is much warmer,
therefore it will not be long before
shearing is general throughout the
state, in fact, some farmers are shear
ing, but in the majority of instances
farmers are backward in their work,
hence it will be little while before
they shear.
From all reports there will be clip
fully equal in size, if not larger than
that of last year, for sheep have
proven themselves one of the most
profitable industries on the farm;
they will also be in good condition.
From what we'can hear, we will ex-
perience a steady market from now
on, as manufacturers have all exper-
fenced steady calls for their goods.
We hear of several local buyers
making some high offers for wool,
but we would advise these buyers to
be careful or they may sustain a loss.
It is just as easy to buy wool in for
eign market, still the domestic clip is
preferred by us.
Business with us has been good,
still there will always be a limit to
prices.
We quote prices today as follows:
Clear medium unwashed feeces, 80
to 80. No. l tub washed fleece, 38 to
al; light bury wool, 20 to q; heavy
bury wool, Is to 20; coarse and cot
ted wool, % to %; mohair, 20 to q.

the Cincinnati office of the Adams
Express company, who WAS for
some time in S6n Jaointo, Cal i,
which town was partially destroyed
by an earthquake December 25,
1899, talks interestingly of that oc-
currencs He said:
There is no premonition of an

the one that would ensue would all

come to a man instead of him going
to them 1t simply comes and is
so sudden that it is all over before
one can realize what is occurring
or what to do to escape the danger
that one instinctively knows to be
imminent. San Jacinto, as 1 knew
it. was boom town on the branch
of the Santa Fe railroad, twenty
miles from Perris, CAL, on the main
line. The town lay in valley,
guarded at one end by the Jaointo
mountains, which rise to the height
of many thousand feet In the
CANYONS of those mountains were
evident many signs of early and
perhaps prehistoric earthquakes.
The Indians had tradition that
entombed in the mountains was the
restless spirit of tribal princess,
who WIS deshed to death over one
of the many cliffs of the mouutaine.
The frequent tremblings of the
earth were attributed to her rest
leessness. An Indian rancher on
the mountain. whom 1 knew, said
that he had often felt slight quakes
and anticipated a disastrous one
some day The people were dubi
Gus about houses over one story in
height but finally several two story
brick structures were erected. The
elevation here is great, showing
that elevation is not proof against

That our city has grown in. the past few years,
think but few will deny;
Though 'gainst every industry koming to town
The "knocker" raised big cry
Factories wouldn't amount to pinch of snuff
So it was said by our cFaw-fsh friends,
But our sturdy citizens pushed light on
And fought hard to accomplish their ends.
When the Maleable plant was first argued around,
The "knockers were out in full force;
The thing too big for town like this
'Twould seek large city, of course.
But the go-ahead citizens heedea them not,
And with money and brains Nushed along,
And before our people were aw AFie of the fact
They had landed the plaptsga ID and strong
Now from its big chimneys smoke rolls to the sky,
At all times by day and by night
And the thousands of dollars that's pail out each week
Is indeed an encouraging sight.
The hundreds employed are happy, content,
Good wages-no wolf at the door,
Good vctuals, good clothing, good health and all that;
Oh why not few factories more.
Yes, our city is growing, both steady and sure
With it's mills its factories and docks;
While steamboats, and barges fill up the Kanawha
From its mouth clear up 10 the Locks.
Cement pavements, paved Streets gladden. the eye
Good, clear water is always on tap,
"Push" Push" is the watchword fctizens all,
For the "knockers" we don't care rap
Our merchants all enjoying good trade
AT least to complain
And no expresses any desire
To return to the old ways again.
New houses go up but we still need few more
To make laborer and family content,
For seldom you'll find the familiar old egn
Tackled up on the door, "For Rent
Now let every citizen come to the front
And contribute his work or his mite;
And for every industry seeking home
Well insure them available SITE
Kind words are as good money in hand
Never 'knock when ideas arise
And the generations that are yet unborn,
Will herald your to the skies.
