Thrcshcrmen's Association to Hold Up

VIII Try to Maintain Prices.
Considerable secrecy is being dis
played as to the object of the meet
ing, but ii is stated that it was called
for the purpose of arriving at an
agreement between the different fac
tories and supply houses in regard to
maintaining prices on threshermen'
supplies and sundries.
The Northwest Threshermen's as
sociation was organized at Portland
three weeks ago with membership
that includes nearly every factory
manufacturing threshing machines
and supplies west of the Mississippi
and number of eastern factories with
western branch houses.
It is said that in former years, COM
petition has been so keen that prices
on sundries and supplies have been
cut to point where there is only a
slight margin of profit. It is to rem
edy this evil that the threshermen
and supply houses are attempting to
reach an agreement to maintain prices
during the coming season.

WOOL CONDITIONS
BUYER AND GROWER
GETTING CLOSE TOGETHER
Prices Paid for New Wool Vary Wide
ly-noston Paper Gives an Intelli"
gent Review of the Situation
ThroughoN the Country.

Umatila sheepmen will be interest
ed to know how the Oregon wool
market and the wool situation in gen.
eral Is viewed by the wool journals
and trade reviews of the east. The
following review of the general situ-
alton is from the Shepherds Bulle-
tin of Boston. & conservative yet fair
wool and sheep journal:
The woolgrower and the woolbuyer
seem to he getting a little closer to
each other in the matter of prices
Growers have TO some extent modified
their ideas as to wool values and some
OF the buyers have slightly raised
their limits on some of the lightest
shrinkage woods.
The result has been that approx,
mdtey a million pounds of wool have
been purchased in sections tributary
to Rnwlins, Wyo., and about 1900, 900
pounds in Pendleton and Heppner.
Ore, although the buying has not, UP
to this writing, been free, by any
means, and most of the large houses
are still doing practically nothing in
the new woods, and supplies in the ter
ritorial sections continue to accumu-
late.
Some of the large consumers state
that they cannot and will not pay
prices based on the level fthose
asked by the growers, and as some
wool merchants who are usually large
sellers to such consumers cannot see
their way clear to get back new dol
lar for an old one, if they pay the
grower his prices, they are simply
waiting.
The prices paid for the new woods
at Rawlins thus far are within quite a
wide range. according to reports re-
| ceiyed some of them costing, ii is
| claimed as high as rs cents clean.
for the fine staple woods, while Others
grading medium. but of good staple,
are quoted as low as 6S@ roc. Ac-
cording to information obtainable at
this writing. most of the wools run
ming to medium would appear to have
sold at a clean cost of 70672c, al
though this statement may have to be
modified If estimates of shrinkage arc
not suhstantiated.
1t is difficult to say just how the
situation will finally shape itself. II
the seaboard markets continue as dul
as they have been for several weeks
past, buyers will naturally find little
encoura cement to take hold of the
new woods in a large way.
Last year many of he wool house:
lost money on their late purchases
this loss being offset however, by tn,
profits made on their earlier contracts
and their contention is that they can
not see their way clear to pay prices
equivalent to those ruling toward
the close of the woolgrowing seasoI
last year. to say nothing of paying ;
further advance.
They believe that top prices 70

the other side of the water, the onl,

any noteworthy advance being the loy

ers during the past two months.

TO GIVE UP OFFICE
STORMS RESIGNS AS SECRETARY
 OF STATE.
Railroads Fear Special Session of the Indiana Legislature VIII Take up TvvO-Cent-a-MIIe Ques-
 tfOn.

Indianapolis, Feb. I9.--Daniel E. Storms resigned his position as Secrs- tary of State this morning after a ten minutes conversation with Governor Hanley. The resignation was accepted immediately Fred Sims, Republican candidate for the nomination of Sec retary of State before the next State Convention. was appointed to succeed Storms to i'll out the unexpired term.
 Stormss resignation becomes effect i've April 1, according to its terms. and Sims will take his place on that day. Before that time. according to Cow ernor Hanley. Storms has promised to make up certain moneys alleged to ha due the State. aggregating S6,310.41.
 The payment ot this money was the condition upon which the Governor permitted Storms to remain 10 April 1. The Investigating now In the auditors office will verify the amounts alleged to be due the State in the Secretary's office. It Is understood that this mon- ey is to be raised among certain rail- road interests with the hope that the resignation of Storms will avert the probability of a special session at which there might be consideration of two cent rate law. That there ts no understanding between the railroad in- terests and with the Governor with reference to the resignation is set forth in the Governors statement In rela- tion to a special session.
 q have absolutely declined to make any promise or condition to any person or interest with reference to the calling of a special session" he said.
 ''In other words, this resignation af- fleets the calling of a special session only .n that one cause Is removed; other causes still exist, however. and the Governor says that the matter has not been determined definitely. The trouble leading to the resignation of storms today. dates gack to the resig- nation of David E. Sherrick, Septem- ber II. 1905. This resignation was based upon Sherrlcks alleged misuse of State money. When the time for the regular October settlement came. storms. in order to raise enough mon- ey to make the settlement. turned over his properties, stocks and bonds, and even mort gagged his salary and In re- turn for this received enough cash to make the October settlement
 This became known in December and immediately a civil suit was brought to oust Storms out of office. tho charge being neglect of duty.
