WiNSLOW
Contributes for Relief of
San Francisco.

the relief Of the homeless and
destitute victims of the disaster
to San Francisco of last week.
Tuesday, fifteen hundred loa-
yes of bread, baked by the ladies
of WinslOw, together with lot
of canned goods and clothing,
were sent oy express to the re
lief committee of the stricken
city.
The town council met We'd
nesday night and voted a con
tributlon of 5000, and the con
tributiOnS from the citizens has
reached nearly $500.
Thursday. word was received
here that there were two hun
dred refugees on passenger
train No. s, who were hungry
and needed something to eat.
The notice was shot, but the
ladies of Winslow were able to
furnish an abundant supply OF
hot coffee and sand wiches for
the hungry ones on the arrival
of the train and the refugees
highly appreciated the luncheon
furnished them,
The subscription list to the
relief fund IS still open and
those who desire to aid in this
cause can do SO by calling on
Doctor Sampson or Mrs. j. !
Collins, who will receive CON
tributions and turn them over
to the relief committees.
President David K. Udall re
turned last week to ST. Johns
from Salt Lake City, Utah,
where he had been attending
the conference. While in Salt
Lake City he secured a loan of
$50, 900 for the building of a res
ervoir to replace the one that
was destroyed last year with
such direful results. A new
site near the little hamlet of
Las Tuces, and is entirely above
the salt springs that so impreg
mated the water at the old site.
The new reservoir will require
a longer dam, but it will not be
so high, and there is a good
foundation to build the StruC-
ture on,as opposed to a swampy
bed at the former site. A new
company, known as the Lyman
Reservoir Company, has been
incorporated, A competent en-
gineer has been selected. and
W. d. Rencher, who is rapidly
coming to the front as an engl-
neer of ability, will serve as
constructing engineer. The en-
tire scheme comprises a storage
dam that will retain 20, 900 acre

WOOL SOLD.
WooI-groWers
Dispose of their Clip.

The great pile Of wool which
has been lying at the railroad
switch at the west end of town
is being loaded into freight cars
for shipment to Boston and
to Dolgeville, California.
The clip is from the flocks of
the woolgrowers who make
Winslow their headquarters and
is owned by Perkins & Noble,
BLY, & Company. Bly, & Dagg,
E. A. Sawyer, Woods, WyriCk &
Daze, and the entire holdings
embrace something over 100000
pounds.
The clip is what is termed
heavy wool and on this account
buyers have been afraid of pur-
chasing it and have made lower
offers for it than the woolgrow
ers were willing to take.
Yesterday morning, however,
the holders of the wool received
a satisfactory offer and all sold
with the exception of g. A.
Sawyer, who will consign to a
Boston firm.
The price paid by the repre-
sentative Of the Dodge Manufac-
turing Company was 168 cents,
the wool being of the class de-
sired by that concern.
Richard Hart sold his clip
during the early part of the
week for seventeen cents. 1t
was what is known as clean
wool.
Last year the clip was sold
for fifteen cents.
Upon the whole, the wool
growers are satisfied with the
price which they received. The
sheep industry is in a prosper
Gus condition in this section.
There is an abundance of water
and grass

THE SECRET OF CONTENT.

1t Isn't what a fellow has that clothes him with content, =
That puts him in that frame of mind where JOY and peace re blent,
And makes him feel that recompensed are those who plan and strive; "
That he's, in truth, well satisfied, and glad that he's alive.
1t isn't money stored in banks, there placed to his account,
1t isn't mortgages he holds, of fabulous amount:
Nay, some OF these sheathe worrys thorns as down lfes path we jaunt-
IT isn't what q fellow has, but what he doesn't want!
Though wandering feet may be a curse, far o are itching hands
That grasp. but never satisfy, their cravings and demands,
Though rolling stones accumulate but cry little moss,
They don't, like avaricious palms, keep smarung at their loss.
And SO, the of modest ean who keeps desire curbed
Strols side by side with happiness when others walk perturbed.
Possession nee makes man immune of cares that siege n haunt,
t isn't what y fellow has, but what he doesn't want!
If ones by wish and want imbued his day. will all be spent
In futile purts upon Ufes road o overtake coEtent,
II ones desires modest be he'll find them all supplied
And be a constant "SunnyJ jim" with life we'll satisfied;
1t isn't bonds that make for cheer. OF stock that peace supplies,
II snt silver pleasure brings 10 gold contcntncnt buys,
1t isn't bank O. treasury notes. though fstfus you may faunt-
1t isn't what Il fellow has, but what he doesn't want!

ONE OF NATURES TOOLS.

How TeaEels Are Used in Finishing
Different Cloths.
Growing by the wayside you will Oft
en- see that stately, spink-looking plant,
the teazel, but l wonder how many
know that it has helped to finish
many a piece Of cloth they wear.
We are apt to think Of a tool as
something Of mans make, yet here is
one Of natures own, and nothing has
ever been manufactured to successfully
take its place. For ages the teazel has
been used for fulling cloth, that is,
raising the nap" and the manufac-
turers refer to map goods" thus treated
as "gigged."
When ripe the dried spike heads are
gathered, packed carefully in bundles,
and shipped In all directions to facto-
ries. The variety mostly used have
the extreme end Of spikes hooked or
curved backward. This is called full
lers' teazeL These heads form a sort
Of brush and are attached to a wheel
or cylinder which revolves against the
surface Of the cloth, and these curved
spikes catch part Of the threads, and
pull them up, making a fuzzy nap.
This Is trimmed down end leaves that
soft, velvety finish to the clsth. The
spikes have strength enough and elias
ITCHY, but when they come In contact
with a rough place in the cloth, they
break, and 50 avoid tearing the materi-
al. Try as they may, no one has ever
been able to invent a tool possessing all
of these qualities, SO the teazel stands
unrivaled for that use. The plant an
we see 1t growing wild looks, per-
haps, at first glance somewhat like .
thistle, but it really has a dignity and
character all Its own. The heads in
flower are covered with a fluffy down,
lavender or white, and as the blossoms
drop and the spikes appear, until a lit
tie later it fairly bristles. The leaves,
pointed and spiked, shooting put each
side Of the stem, meet at base and form
q little basin in which is usually water.
So we have the name Of the plant from
the Greek Dipsacus, meaning thirsty,
and many other fanciful ones, SUCH as
Venus Cup, Venus Bath, Wood or
Church Brooms, Gypsy Combs, Cloth
ier's Brush, etc.-St Nicholas.

Em cacy Plus Prayer.

Ethel, one Of New Hanipshire's T.
year-old daughters, is devoted to the
birds. She was enraged at her older
brother, whose keenest enjoyment
seemed to be to trap them. She plead
ed with him and scolded him, but all
to no effect. So Eethel took q new
tack. "
When prayer time came the other
evening her mother heard this final
petition added to those which dealt
directly with the spiritual and mate
ria welfare of the family: An, dear
God, please smash all Willie's nasty
traps, for Jesus sake, amen
ETHEL, dear" said mother seriously,
do you really think that last is a nice
thing to ask God to do? Do you ex-
pect him to do such a thing as that?"
Ethel smiled, beamingly, and answer
ed: "Oh, that'll be all right. muzzer.
