Wool Market.

Eastern markets experienced a
little better demand for wool, and
transactions are comparing favor
ably with the corresponding date
last year. There is no important
variation in prices, neither side
taking a sufficiently aggressive
position to produce CONCESSIONS.
Any pronounced improvement in
the wooden goods business should
greatly broaden the interest in raw
material, and the advancing season
promises an early change in this
respect. In Boston the wool market
is more active. The business of
the week is fully 1000, 900 pounds,
largely domestic stock, and there is
large volume of transfers under
negotiation. There are more buy
ers on the market than for weeks,
all classes of consumers being rep
resented The worsted mills are
the most active operators. Several
large blocks of territory wool have
been moved. The market is steady
on the current basis and no further
radical depreciation in values is ex-
pected. Fine territory sells to
cost, secured 68 to 20 cents, and
fine medium 65 to 6S cents. Fine
Ohio delaine is offered at $50 to 80
cents. Sales of unwashed three
Fights fleece are at $50 to "a cents.
Receipts for the week wree 2,462,
424 pounds and deliveries 3, 1916,
600 pounds.

Flaqqed Train 10 Get q Drink.

Passengers on the Los Angeles
limited of the Salt Lake railroad,
who arrived in Los Angeles one day
last week, told of a prospector who
stopped a train running forty miles
an hour in the middle of the Mo-
jave desert by tagging it with his
hat to secure water for himself and
the burros. The train crew supplied
them all by the bucketful as quickly
as possible, and started the limited
on its way again. An old Nevada
law which allows desert travellers
who are in distress to stop trains
and demand water and compels
train crews to provide the needed
refreshments, still holds. The old
prospector knew it, so did the en-
gineer.

Judge Ayrcs.
When it came to sending the
case to a Justice of the peace the
justices at Midvale, Salubria, Indian
Valley and Council were all objected
to, but Justice Childers at Cam
bridge seemed to be very satisfac-
tory to the defendant and the case
was sent there, but the time OF
hearing will not be fixed until the
papers have reached the justice be-
fore whom the hearing is to be had.
1t looks very much like put up
job, remarked prominent. republi-
can here this afternoon, to white
wash the defendant. No attorney
ever heard of a change OF venue
in a criminal case from the coun-
ty Judge to a justice of the peace.
There seems to be more trouble
in store for Gooding's chosen candi-
date for secretary of state. 1t was
discovered last evening that E. M.
Barton & Co. paid Robert Lans-
don S2O1 September for liquor
license. The money was not turned
over to the treasurer and has not
been accounted for. Barton, who
had been Lansdon's supporter, is
indignant. He will have to put up
the money again in order to secure
a license, as no license had been
issued.
Public sentiment here is grow
ing stronger against Lansdon every
day, and it is believed that Good
ing will be defeated if he is not
taken off the republican state ticket.

1909 acres of beets in the Payette
