April I.

The wool season is about to open.
Shearing will begin at Fairfield April
l, weather permitting. John L. Nc
Kinney says that 100000 head of sheep
will be sheared, and the work of rid
ding this enormous number of animals

on into May. Utah railroads expect to
handle 100000 pounds Of wool this
year This estimate is conservative, as
the clip will be heavier this year than
ever before
Local railroads are all prepared for
the war for wool and have had travel
ing freight agents canvassing the
sheep territories for the last two
months. The larger portion of the
clip. has been contracted for hauling,
and when baled will be shipped to the
markets with no delay. About thirty
five flocks VIII be clipped between
April 1 and May L Bookings for this
number have been completed at Fair

tiers have two and three bands TO clip.

tracting agent of the Oregon Short Line

fill the vacancy made by the resignation
Of j. NJ. Fulton, who will enter the
stock brokerage business. General
Freight agent J. A. Reeves of the ore
gon Short Line received Mr.. Fulton s
resignation several days ago
Mr.. Taggart's appointment did not
come as a surprise to the local railroad
men, as they were willing to bet that
he would be chosen to fill this impOr-
tant position. An energetic man was
needed at this point as the growth OF
Nevada makes the traffic centering at
this point something not TO be sneezed
at. Mr.. Taggart will leave for Reno
next week He will have jurisdiction
of Nevada traffic business for the Har-
riman lines. No hint could be obtained
as to who will be appointed TO succeed
Mr.. TaggaTt in this city.
Mr.. Taggart has been in Salt Lake
for a number of years in various rail-
road capacities. He came to this city
when the headquarters Of the Rio
Grande Western were moved from Den
Yer TO SAT- Lake. Al litdt Time ne was
connected with the auditing offices IN
der Theron Geddes. Later he was made
agent of the same road at Provo by
General superintendent A. z. Welby-
Afterward he became travelling freight
and passenger agent of the same road
He was later travelling passenger agent
for the oregon Short Line under D. E.
Burley about fifteen years ago. When
the Union Pacific and Oregon Short
Line were segregated he obtained a pO-
sition as travelling freight agent under
Traffic Manager s w Eccles. While
filling this position he sustained inju-
ries in an accident which disabled him
for months. Upon recovering he re-
turned to the general freight offices Of
the Oregon Short Line under General
Freight Agent J. A. Reeves Shortly
afterward he was made contracting
agent. and will hold this position until
April l. Mr.. Taggart is young man,
but has seen nineteen years service in
railroad capacities. He entered the
employ of the Burlington Route at
Hastings, -Neb-, nineteen years ago. and
since that time has been employed by
railroads with offices in this city and
Denver.

STORER WAS IN A HURRY.
Unusual Course Taken by the Am
bassador TO Austria.

Vienna, March 22.-Secretary G. E.
Rives of the American embassy today
informed the foreign Office here that
Bellamy StOrer, the retiring American
ambassador, ceased his connection
with the embassy March 10. and re-
duested the Hungarian govern
ment to agree to the appointment of
Charles S. Francis Immediately. This
the foreign Office declares is a most
unusual proceeding. According to
European diplomatic traditions Mr..
Storer remains ambassador until the
presentation of his letters of recall,
either by himself or his successor, and
until this is done this government must
regard Mr.. StoTer as ambassador from
the United States.
