Owing to the fact that the supply
of wool at the securing mill is ex-
hausted and no more can be pur-
chased at prices which the Judds are
willing to pay, the securing plant will
be closed down tomorrow. AS a re-
suit a crew of about IS men will be
thrown out of employment, the re-
mainder of the force consisting Of the
sorting and baling crews, have been
laid off some weeks ago.
Some time ago 1t was the expecta-
ton of the mill management that the
plant would be operated until Nov 1.
However, by running night and day
shifts the wool on hand has been
secured in less time than was antici-
pated and there is nothing more for
the mill to do unless more wool can
be purchased.
Regarding the present condition OF
the local wool market E. ]. Burke.
representative of E. Y. Judd, said last
evening:
There Is considerable unsold wool
in this section and those having the
asme are unwilling to sell at present
prices. For the most part they are
| men who are free from debt and after
having held their wool during the
summer while the price declined. they
dislike to sell now at lower figure
than they could have gotten at the
opening of the season. An unusual
feature this year is the fact that the
banks are advising such growers to
| hold their wool"

Burke to Leave Soon.

Although the woolmen are reluc-
tant to sell their remaining clips Mr..
Burke will remain here for a few
weeks and should he be able to make
any purchases the securing mill will
be started again. Should he be una
BILE to induce the growers to part
with their wool, Mr.. Burke will re-
turn to his home in Hartford. Conn.,,
and will remain in the east until the
opening of the Arizona wool season
in January, when he will again be at
Phoenix.
Although the securing mill is clos
ing earlier than was expected, it has
made much better run this season
than last year, or the one previous.
During both of those years the plant
closed about August |, whereas this
year it was IN operation for over five
months. During much of that time
between so and so men were employ
ed, making a weekly payroll of about
$1,000.

them in enactipg into law all of the
measures promised The letter also

the reason that they have been dis

Of years, by your political opponents,
therefore all parties being now agreed
upon the necessity for their enact

required for their passage.
But the great battle will come upon
the laws fixing maximum freight and
passenger rates to be paid railroad
companies in this state. AS to the
imperative need of such laws, / take
it all parties are agreed, this being
true then, the vital point is how can
1t be done with the least friction and
certainy of accomplishing the desired
results? The plan proposed by you
and your party is to confer upon the
railway commission the power to fix,
determine, and enforce reasonable
freight and passenger rates. This
plan in my judgment is fraught with
two doubtful and therefore dangerous
contingencies. First, and most remote,
the declaring of the constitutional
amendment creating the commission
nil for various reasons and discussed
during the recent campaign. Second
and the one which consider most se-
rious, can the legislature confer this
power upon a commission? have

for separate bids on shipments in

ceived to transport the coal in steam
ers of American register, the expert
ence Of the. past having demonstrated
the futility Of offering any. The prices
on shipments of steamers of foreign

number of bids, ranged from $3.50 a
