Chcap Fuel for the PcopIe

The United States consul at Berlin
reports that denaturized alcohol sells
in that city for 30 cents per gallon
As grain and potatoes are one-third
higher in Germany than here. 1t Is
evident the alcohol should sell in the
grain and potato states of the Union
at not more than 20 cents per gallon.
For fuel purposes this is said to be
equivalent to gasoline at s to 10 cents
per gallon. The taking of the tax off
alcohol promises to be a boon to the
whole PEOPLE. 'The people," however
does not include the Standard oil
company which has been receiving
rs to 40 cents per gallon for gaso-
line

The sale of wool belonging to mem-
bers of the Idaho Woolgrowers' asso.
citation stored in the Falk warehouse.
commenced soon after . o'clock this
morning, Max Mayfield. assisted by ].
4. Clinton, tr., secretary of the $50
citation conducting the sale, states the
Boise Capital News.
The method adopted was to bring to
the outside platform a sample of sacks
of wool from each grade in a sellers
clip. The buyers would open these
sacks and examine the wool, which
resulted in almost every fleece being
opened and examined by some one OF
the 10 or 12 buyers who. without coats
and with up-rolled sleeves. delved into
the fleeces as experts only can. I'M
mediately upon finishing a lot. the
buyers noted their bid. on slips ot
paper and handed them directly to the
owner or to Mr.. Mayfield. who at once
turned them over to the owner who
retired apart from the crowd to ex-
anime them, very soon potified Mr..
Mayfield of his acceptance or reiec
tion.
The first lot examined was that of
Joseph Kent, of. Boise, 80 sacks. for
which 1Sh cents was bid by two
buyers, the bids being rejected by Mr..
Kent.
Thomas McMilan's lot was the next
one subjected to the scrutiny of the
men from the east, 104 bags. which
was sold to thre buyers representing
Heoht Le'ber & Co., of Boston, for
20 SIS cents; Frank A. Nourse's clip of
80 bags was purchased by Jack PAT
terson, representing a Boston house.
for 1879 cents, the lowest bid being Is
cents. Mr.. Patterson also purchased
Annett nnd Stewards 81 sacks at 19lb
cents. the lowest bid being 1SH cents;
he also Vas the highest bidder for 81
sacks belonging to Miguel Garbia and
got the wool for 17h cents. Castro
Aldecoea sold at 1919 cents. the low
est hid being is cents.
Henry Blucher rejected a bid of Is
cents for three lots. Joseph Gestel re-
jectea a bid of Is cents and Payne
and Pence rejected 10 SIS cents for
SSG sacks. During the forenoon about
1000 sacks were sold
There was no evidence of under
standing or combine on the part of the
buyers and the variations in bids quite
conclusively shows the contrary. It
was quite generally conceded that the
wool was not quite up to last years
clip.
Nearly all the eastern houses that
have heretofore made large purchases
of Idaho wool, were present. Eisenman
Bros, of Boston, and Sherman Bros.
Of Chicago, being notable exceptions.
The sale was well arranged and con-
Quoted very satisfactorily to both buy
ers and sellers by Messrs. Mayf1eld
and Clinton. Just before noon the en-
tire group was photographed.
The members of the association who
were present expressed the view that
the sale had met expectations. and
| demonstrated the wisdom of this me-
thod of disposing of years clip.
Afternoon Sales.
At the afternoon meeting Thomas
Booth rejected bid of'1S% cents for
his clip; Vernemrick also rejected a
bid of 1914 cents for 1O3 sacks; Falk
Mercantile company rejected 22 cents
for "a sacks and John Gray 1S4 cents
for his clip.
These woods were ranch clips and of
higher grade than those offered at the
forenoon sale.
