Idaho Is not the only state where
woolgrowers are having trouble in
getting prices they deem fair for their
product this year. The Salt Lake Re-
publican, in recent issue, says
Idaho and Montana woolgrowers
are still sparring with the buyers and
between this strife and a season of ex-
tremely unfavorable weather, the in
dications are that the clip will not be
cleaned up before the first of August,
at least six weeks later than usual.
At present, shipments are at a stand
still.
Discouraged by the slowness on the
part of buyers in the field to meet
their, terms, the woolgrowers banded
together and formed n pool for the
purpose OF combining their clips and
sending them east where they were TO
be stored and sold through an agent
directly to the manufacturing con-
sumers. Large buyers in Salt Lake
say this move is regarded as bluff
on the part of the growers and ex-
press the opinion that later develop
ments will prove buyers have been Of
fering all the wool was worth and
that they will eventually get the bulk
OF the clip remaining unsold around
10 cents. In support Of the theory
that the combination of growers car
ries with 1t an element of bluff"
buyers say It has been decided to hold
special sales at various points where
buyers will submit sealed bids for the
clips offered. The growers say that,
failing to sell the 100000 or more
pounds OF. fleece in this manner at
satisfactory prices, they will send the
whole lot to eastern warehouses in
charge of selling agent.
Travelling freight agents I'm the in
ter-mountain region say their titles
should be changed to wool leaders" ."
They are having troubles too numer-
Gus TO mention. one of the Salt Lake
boys returned to civilization" as he
called II, after having spent NJ days
loading one car. and the agent for
another road who started loading a
car last week wires that he hopes
to come home Saturday II he can fill
the car by that time. The cold rains
of the last two weeks have caused
heavy losses to sheepgrowers and
some have postponed shearing indef-
initely.
AS for the railroads, they are inter-
ested principally in the threat of the
Idaho growers TO send their wool east
In a bunch. for this would mean a
congestion of traffic in the west eri-
ously. II, however, the movement
continues as It has been for the last
two weeks, II will mean more disagree
able work for the wool leaders" and
no congestion for the railroads.

friends say he does not know what

Sewell came east last summer. He
quickly rose from an apprentice boy
to a first class jockey. Charlie Rowe,
owner of Colonial Girl, that beat Her
mis- in. the $4,000 Worlds Fair ham
dicap, soon discovered that Sewell
had great ability, and he engaged him
at big salary. The boy went to New
Orleans last winter, and at the fair
grounds track soon rode so many win
ners that in spite of an illness of sew
eral weeks. he managed to hold the
lead among the riders at that track
Nicol jumped into prominence last
season as the pilot of Sysonby. He
rode that horse in the majority of his
races. James r. Keene, who was so
impressed with the way he rode the
champion that twice he paid him
$1,000 to come from the west to guide
his favorite in big races on the local
tracks During the winter Nicol went
to New Orleans and at the city park
track soon was the leading Jockey.

tie died during the heavy rain of the

rain was mixed with snow and it was
very bad weather on stock.

could return and spend their declin.

Pardon Attorney Frank Lively
madeta very thorough investigation
of the case and recommended a. par

ers were peddlers and We're accused
by another Corsican Of highway rob
berry. The three principals were the
only Witnesses and us rome of them

secured.
No conclusive evidence could be
adduced but the jury found the men
guilty and the Judge was under the
law compelled to tnhict 4. severe
penalty The trial judge and pros
ecutor declared that had they been
members of the jury they could not
have found the brothers guilty.
1t has developed. since that the
alleged victim did. not have any
money at the time he claimed to
