There is practically no wool being
contracted for this season, and there
is no prospect for any sales until after
shearing," said Charles H. Green, the
veteran woolbuyer this morning.
Mr.. Green arrived this morning
from Portland, and while away was
also at Baker City, Elgin and other
wool marts in eastern Oregon. He
says the growers are holding for such
prices that the buyers will not con-
tract, as they must have a margin to
go on when they bargain for wool
before shearing. Between 20 and Is
cents is wanted by the growers trib-
utary to the main wool markets, while
those less favorably located are in
sisting on 20 cents.
Thus far there has been about 5OO.-
600 pounds of wool contracted for in
Oregon, and like amount in WASH
ington. This is Insignificant COM
pared with what had been sold at
this date last year. At that time Mr..
Green himself had contracted for
100000 pounds.
However, shearing will soon COM
mence in this county, and during May
will start in Wallowa and Baker
counties. Shearing in Gillian and
the other counties of that section will
commence shortly after it does in
Umatilla.

A Heavy Load to Carry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be-
cause disordered stomach does not per-
init the food to be properly digested, and
It's products assimilated by the system.
The blood Is charged with poisons which
come from this disordered digestion, and
In turn the nerves are not fed on good,
red blood, and we see symptoms OF nery-
business, sleeplessness and general break
down. 1t is not head work, nor over ply
sical exertion that does 1t, but poor stom-
ach work. With poor, thin blood the
body Is not protected against the attack

Those B and A Taxes.

In its attempt to divert public atten-
ton from its real attitude-namely. its
complete subserviency to the rum trust
which is attending to the financial end
of it's campaign-the Maine Denoc-
racy Is resorting to some desperate and
extremity absurd measures. One of
these is the tissue" of the abatement of
a part Of the taxes of the Bangor and
Aroostook railroad for a term Of years
by the Legislature of 1891. The Port
land Press meets this tissue" and de-
molishes it in a column editorial which
we republish elsewhere on this page of
the Journal this morning. and which
we hope will be read by all of those
who have read the earlier Democratic
utterance on the subject. an utter
ance for which the Democratic man.
ayers have even paid advertising rates
to secure its publication in certain
newspapers.
This partial abatement Of the taxes
Of the railroad which connected north
ern Maine with the outside world
marked the beginning of a phenomenal
industrial and agricultural develop
ment of Aroostook county and the
northern sections of Penobscot and
Piscataquis counties. was one Of the
wisest and most farsighted things
which the Legislature of 1891 did. 1t
wss not only a splendid thing for
northern Maine, but Of course in
directly for the whole State. 1t was {
| measure upon which party lines were
not drawn. and which had the support
Of the leading Democratic members as
we'll as the Republicans of that Legis-
| Iature The assistance of the State in
| the construction of this railroad which
| has meant so much to northern Maine
| was exactly on the principle of the en-
! couragement of new manufactures OF
| other industries by erterprising cities
| and villages. Nobody in the Legisla-
| ture or out of 1t was sorry in 1891 that
| northern Maine was given the help ii
| needed and honestly asked for. No
body is sorry now, unless. perhaps, the
| Democratic campaign managers are
| sorry that they have attempted to
| build an tissue" out of it.

And along with the other Democrats

And along with the other Democrats
Of that Legislature WAS the Hon. B.
+. Chadbourne of Biddeford who had
been brought up in the railroad bust
ness. and knew perhaps better than any
other member of that Legislature what
that hill meant for Maine. If it had
been had legislation. wouldn't he have
worked against it? Those who know
Mr.. Chadbourne's unfaltering loyalty
to the State Of Maine and his splen
did powers of oratory don't need to
have that question answered in the
affirmative But he didn't. He knew
it was good legislation and today as
railroad commissioner he appreciates
the force of progress which that act of
assistance set in motion.
1t is thus that the Democracy OF
1906 blind to the splendid progress of
Aroostook and the great Northeast.
assails the good faith and judgment Of
some of the strongest men that ever
sat about the council tables of the
Maine Democracy. 1t is thus that 1t
