At prices averaging close to 20
cents a pound. a large portion of the
wool clip OF Umatilla county was sold
here today. and what remains will
probably be disposed of before the sale
is finished tomorrow forenoon. The
prices paid are not as high as those
offered last year, and there has been
a slight feeling of disappointment
among growers as a result. However.
the prices are good nevertheless and
would have been hailed with Joy a
few years ago.
johnson Clip First.
The sale began this morning at
o'clock as scheduled. The first clip
offered was that of f. L. Johnson.
and when It was taken by H. wattina
& Co., for l4h cents, the price SEEM
ed low to the growers. However. the
next one up. that of NJ. +. Edwards,
brought 2Oh cents. which served to
restore confidence.
One after another samples of the
various clips were then presented and
bids received. The simple announce
ment was then made that a certain
firm had secured the clip, the price
being retained. Several growers that
were on the list withdrew their clips
from sale on account of having too
small a percentage in the warehouse
at the time. The buyers insisted on
the greater part OF the wool being
stored. The clip of William Slusher
was withdrawn after bids had been
received. the price being unsatisfac-
tory. There were but three bidders
for that clip.
Buyers Not Greedy.
In general the selling today has
no great greed for wool on the part
OF the buyers. Many of the represen-
tatives have bought nothing. while
others have secured but small clips.
Charles II. Greene. who bought nearly
all the wool last year. did not make a
single purchase this forenoon.
The chief buyer during the fore
noon was Jas. Russell, of.The Dalles
securing mills. who purchased three
clips, one OF them being the ]. E.
Smith company's wool, which amounts

An Interesting Sight.
It has been an interesting and an
interesting group in the Furnish ware
house today, where the sale has been
conducted. In an improvised pit the
score of buyers have had the floor
and with coats off and sleeves rolled
up have passed judgment on the sam
pies presented and made their bids
accordingly. In most instances three
sacks from each clip have been ex-
amined though more have been taken
when larger clips were placed on
sale. The sample sacks are selected
alternately by the buyers and the
owner. The selections for the buyers
were made by Charles Fl. Greene and
William Ellery, who were delegated
for that purpose.
AS secretary of the Woolgrowers'
association Dan p. Smythe was in
charge of the proceedings, while
President Perry Gould was also pres
ent in the interest of the association.

ker at the corner of Cough street and
Golden Gate avenue, and he will issue
a formal permit provided that the
water pressure in the particular sec
ton of town is thought strong enough
to extinguish fires. The permit must
then be attached to the exterior of the
house in plain view from the street,
and the stove may be moved indoors
and the windbreak used for kindling.
Where the water pressure is low no
indoor fires may be maintained for the
present. The last chimney inspection
cannot be made for more than n
month. Brick masons are not nu-
merous enough to repair or rebuild all
damaged chimneys simultaneously
These three causes of delay must 5e
understood by the multitude of com.
plainants against the maintenance of
street fires.
The general public is eounseled by
the authorities to restrain its impa-
tlence and put up with little more in
convenience as a matter OF safety. II
what is left of the town would prob
aby go up in smoke.
Chief Engineer Schussler of the
Spring Valley Company informed tue
fire department yesterday that ne
thought a sufficient supply OF water
to insure safety from fire would be
forthcoming in less than two weeks.
Ut is probable that Fillmore and al
jacent streets and the park district will
be the first to benefit by the indoor
fires permits The water pressure is
light in the Potrero and Mission dis
tricts.
President Maestretti. Chief Inspector
Porter and Mayor Schmitz are all firm
ON the proposition that no man, woman
or child shall be allowed to buid a fire
indoors until every precaution against
another conaagration shall have been
taken.

Brakes Fail on Sleep
Up Grade When the
Trolley Slips.
Heavy Passenger Load
Whizzed Down Hayes
Street Hill.

The cool judgment and iron nerve of
Motorman F. C. Miller of trolley car
1875 minimized the effect of what other
wise would have proved terrible eollis-
ion on Fillmore street near Fulton yester
day. With several others Miller was
badly injured but not one life was lost
The injured are:
F. c. Miller, 1862 Haight street, left
arm broken, left leg and foot crushed,
face and head cut.
John Kendall, 2140 Pierce street, scalp
cut, face lacerated, bone in right foot
fractured.
Mrs. Mary A. Quick, 242s Haste street,
Berkeley, head lacerated.
0. F. Palmer, .64 Valley street, Oak
land, face lacerated and finger broken.
f. Ruter, 1s9 Chattanooga street, lac
erations and bruises.
The accident was due to the fact that
Motorman Mat j. Mcdonald of car 1854
lost control of his brakes while proceed
ing south on the steep grade on Fillmore
street near Hayes. When half way up
the hill the trolley on his car slipped off
the wire. In an instant his car started
backward. He applied the air brake but
without result and the heavy car was
soon speeding at terrific rate down the
hill.
On the same track and also southwark
bound was car 1875 with Miller at the
controller Car 1854 had just started on
it's backward run when Miller saw it.
Instantly reversing the current he started
his car backward and when the inevit
able collision came it was under good
headway. This fact alone prevented the
two cars from splintering into bits.
Miller stood firmly at his controller
until the crash of the cars hurled him
forward into the mass of broken timbers
and shattered glass.
Conductor s. Riga, of ear 1875, did
everything in his power to control his
passengers. Those on the forward dunn
my were hurried to the rear, with the ex-
ception OF Mrs. Quick. She became. con
fused and had just arisen from her seat
when the collision occurred. Some of
the passengers jumped and Kendall met
his injury in this manner. He was on the
car that rushed down the hill and when
it neared Fulton street he climbed over
one Or the slue gudTuS anu iedPtu 10 Ihe
street. After he struck he rolled some
distance and was picked up in an almost
unconscious condition.
The people on Fillmore street for
blocks saw the collision and rushed to
the scene. The injured were carried to
nearby stores and their wounds hurried
ly bandaged- Automobiles were then
summoned and all were removed to hos
pitals.
The ears, which telescoped about three
feet, were dragged apart and taken to the
Turk street ear house, where they are now
being repaired An examination of the
shattered condition of the ears only in
creased the wonder that scsre were not
killed when the impact came.
