TEACHERS ASK BOYS
TO PROTECT THE BIRDS

VI. . . !, 6
At the request of Professor F. L.
Washburn, state entemologist, superin-
schools has sent a circular to the princi-
pals of the schools urging them to use
their influence with the boys to have
them refrain from shooting and stoning
birds. It is believed that a personal
appeal to thedhoysaby their teacher will
have muchaweigh t andninduce them to
desist from the fpractice. sa 4~g
Professor Washburn's note to DR..
May 4 trespass upon your busy time to
can to your attention the fact that many
boys, mostly belonging to grade schools
I imagine, appear to delight at this time
of the year and later In stoning birds,
using therefor the illegal slingshot 1t is
a painful thought that as soon as the
birds reach us from the south they are
manned or killed brutally by .thoughtless
lads, who later on will probably regret
that foolishness and write to know If
you cannot use your influence in the
schools without Inconvenience to your
self, to stop this altogether too common
and deplorable practice.

Wool Market.

Telcgraphic advices say that
steady prices and a waiting market
is all that can be said regarding
wool. Holders do not lose conf
dence, asking full figures, but man
ufacturerS restrict operations to inn
mediate requirements, excepting
few lines of which stocks are de-
pleted. While the market is a little
lower than at the best point of the
year, it is not far from the maxi
mum for recent years, and should
return a splendid profit to growers,
who secured a liberal clip. In Bos-
ton wool activity continues and the
movement is large on both new and
old contracts. Supplies are in
strong hands and all efforts to
break prices are unsuccessful.
Some dealers find that trade is more
general, the buyers operating show
ing wider variety of makers CT
goods. Strictly clothing woods are
in better request. The most activ-
ity, however, is in worsted woods.
The market is firm and the pros
poets for the maintenance of cur
rent rates considered good. The
new clip is practically cleaned up
in the territories, and closing prices
are fractionally higher in Montana.
London advices, while conflicting,
are somewhat more cheerful as to
the immediate prospect for prices
and business. Local receipts for
the week were II, $40, ass pounds
and deliveries $50, o6s pounds.

Tunnel Boring Machine.

Ii the tunnel boring machine will
do all that is claimed for it, the in
ventor has brought forth a machine
that will revolutionize the mining
industry and all railroad tunnel
ling. This is an invention which
is used for digging tunnels. The
machine is circular and can be made
in diameter to bore any sized tun-
mel. Imbedded in the face of the
machine are hundreds of chisels,
placed in irregular series, radiating
from the center, the whole resting
on a ball bearing Jacket or runaway
chine to slide back and forth in its
persistent and unrelenting assault
against the rock to be removed.
Attached to the hub of the chisel-
bristling wheel is a shaft or piston,
which is operated by two small en-
gines, and which are capable of
causing the machine to strike the
face of the rock $50 times a minute,
in which time one inch of surface
is removed. In short, this ponder
uos battering ram can remove 124
feet of rock in "a hours, leaving
a perfectly circular tunnel. The
machine which has been perfected
and is now in operation in Colorado,
is 81 inches in diameter, has 500
points arranged in 80 sets, and
weighs [ NO tons. It turns three
inches after each assault upon the
rock. Power is furnished by COM
used each minute. This machine
will work a great saving in time
and expense in the mining world.
By it tunnels can be driven in a
short time and claims prospected
for less money than ever before. -

AS a result of this disclosure Ewo
firms manufacturing scales are
engaged in a bitter personal war
fare, and the city inspector OF
weights and measures has a choice
collection of ''short' scales and
measures in his office. From Pro-
violence, r. l., comes the report
that 90, 600 glass milk Jars in use
in that state are ''short, - and the
state sealer of weights and meas
ures charges that all the jars con-
demned as ''short' in Massachu-

have been shipped into Rhode ISL
and, the most of them into Provi-
dence. Pound cans' of meats
usually weigh fourteen ounces, and
the ''three-pound' buckets of lard
are usually ''short" considerably
more than enough to make up for
the cost of the tin bucket. Pint
and quart bottles of medicines,
pickles, preserves, etc, will usually
be found considerably short of hon
est measure. The revelation of
these things, coming all at once,
clearly shows the temper of the

CHICAGO SHEEP MARKET.

Under Chicago date of Aug. 10,
w. r. Smith writes: For the first
three days of this week receipts of
sheep and lambs are 5000 more
than the same three days last week,
however, today will be fully 10, 600
less than last week, and with very
little in sight for tomorrow and Sat-
urday, receipts for the week will
not be over 10, 900 more than last
week.
Never in the history of the sheep
trade has the demand for breeding
ewes, feeding wethers and lambs
been anywhere near as strong as it
was this week, while native ewes
have sold up to $5.S5, and yearlings
up to 500 western ewes have
sold up to $3.50, two-year-old
wethers from 81. to So. IS, and
lambs up to $6.85, and the supply
far short of the demand. There has
been more life to the trade for fat
lambs this week, the mutton mar
ket at eastern points being in bet
ter shape, lambs selling up to SO. IS
in New York this week, which
casued a better demand here.
Sheep, however, have been. more
plentiful and have been a shade
weaker and in most cases 10c
lower THAN the close of last week,
though handy weights of good quail
ity have sold steady. Yearlings
from the west have been more
plentiful this week, good to choice
kinds selling from SIS. IS to SO. IS,
with feeders from S. to SIS. 90.
The bulk of the fat western lambs
have sold this week from So. so to
$7.85, the bulk of them have sold
under 7c with a good many fair
killers going at to 63c, with fat
ewes mostly SAYS to $500, and
two-year-old wethers $500 to
$5.25.
With the Kentucky lambs gone,
eastern points have to look to the
west for their supply now, and the
feeders are getting anxious for their
winter supply it looks as if we will
ceipts should be a little heavier.
With orders from the east we will
have more competition, and should
we have slight break in the mar
ket, it will only be temporary.
( There are very few natives to come
now and they are mostly of poor
quality. The western lambs this
week are netting from So. 90 tc
50. so per head.

will be a re-appraisal of the town
lots on the Minidoka irrigation
tract in Idaho. A telegram received
from Auctioneer O'Brien says only
% auctioned lots at Hepburn have
been sold. The people refuse to bid
on the ground claiming that the
price is fixed too high. 1t is ex-
pected the sale at Rupert next
week will be failure for the
same reason. Only $4,000 was re-
allied on the lots sold at Hepburn.
O'Brien says there was no collu-
sion among the bidders. If the sale
at Rupert is failure steps will be
ken in the immediate future to have
both towns re-appraised in time for
another auction this season. The
reclamation officials are greatly
discouraged, as they expected big

QUEER THINGS,
ASSESSMENTS
Facts and figures Anent
Flmore County, Official
Property VdIud-
ton.

Compared with that of last year,
the assessment sheet recently COM
pleted by the auditor to be submit
ted the state board of equalization,
which held its annual session in
teresting facts regarding the assess
ments in this county
Last year there was listed "a, =
419 acres of pstented lands, valued
at $133, 3O5; this year "a, 1873 acres
at $780,, 1872, and it is thought that
some tracts have not yet been in
cluded.
But it is in the matter of town
lots that the puzzle occurs. Last
year there was assessed 1417 lots,
valued at 500, 1874; this year the
assessor found 2O72 lots and placed
their value at $91, 1876 P1ats of
additions and townsiteS containing
nearly 600 lots have not been filed.
The assessed value of improve
ments on real estate has increased
from 500, $40 to $127, 585.
The number and value of both
cattle and sheep have decreased,
owing to the large sales last fall, on
account of the drouth and the result
ant scarcity of hay and the poor
condition of the ranges The num-
Der ofIcattle, as per assessment, fell
from 8, 600 to 7,O85; value from
1892, 200 to $84, 961; sheep from
145, 235 to 72,722, value from
$500, 40 to $167, 1o3- That is why
the total assessed valuation of per-
sonal property fell from 1871, O73 to
$43o,89
Real estate increased from $446, =
e63 o $5S5, GAP, resulting in a total
decrease, real and personal, of 1892.
