CHICAGO SHEEP MARKET.
Lamb Trade Has Been Very Active
and is Cents Higher.

The Chicago Livestock World gives
the following review of the mutton
market there for the past week:
n moderate supply was quickly
taken care of and the upward course
of the market resumed. Prices again
struck the highest level since the low
point was reached, Colorado lambs
with wool on selling up to $3.50 and
clipped lambs to S6.15. Sheep were
also in better demand. although ex-
porters were not in harness, and it
was largely a local demand. The
market was quotably steady to 100
Is cents lower. Some stuff sold
steady early and it did not look like
a very active trade. Later demand
picked up and there was hot competi-
tion among buyers. Quality of the
high-priced lambs today was of super
excellent quality, and buyers went to
them with avidity. A lot of Colora-
dos sold at S7.35D7.4O.
Lamb trade was active and steady
to Is cents higher. Several loads Of
s9-lb native Colorado wool lambs
ii
thin-flcshed Colorado-fed western
lambs at 81, the high price of the
year, but they were heavy shearers.
In clipped lambs it was a SO market
for the general run Of good stuff. with
a few above that figure, the top being
S6.l5. or IS cents higher than any
thing sold at last week. Lots Of g.
cent lambs today would have had
hard work making $3.50 on Friday.
Good lambs sold down to s5.S5. Some
heavy native Wisconsins. averaging
9S pounds, were in the $3.50 notch.
Under 1886 it was a market for Off
quality goods. Yearlngs were about
the scarcest article on the list.
1t was a $5.6O5.65 market for such
wetherc az made $3.50 Om5.55 late last
week, and the sheep end of the deal
was nywhere from strong to a dime
higher Western ewes sold up to $40
strong price, and choice ewes or
wethers were quotable at s5.75 or
even higher.

In Lincoln county Prosecuting At
torney Frank Dizney has been con-
ducting a strong campaign against
gambling. He has caused arrest after
arrest without conviction. but finally
got one. Since then he has done con-
siderable good work toward stamping
out the evil. Citizens who were for
merly on the fence admire his pluck.
They are with him now. He has had
hard row but most of 1t has been
hoed now.
In Bannock county 1t has been the
same way, and so in other counties.
The counties of Idaho have for the
most part shrewd, moral, fearless
prosecutors. They are working now
as never before for the enforcement,
not only of the gambling law. but of
all laws.
Much of this new exertion on the
part of the prosecuting attorneys of
the state of Idaho is due to the Or
ganization of the State Prosecuting
| Attorneys association, which has been
meeting annually, but which will here
after meet semi-annually. 1t has
| proved a good thing. At its meeting
the prosecutors from various counties
get together and talk over the con-
quests and their defeats. They tell
what they have done. They give each
other ideas.
The last meeting of the association
was held not long ago in Boise. AT
that session the attorneys talked over
at considerable length their efforts to-
ward stamping out the gambling evil
in their respective counties. And they
talked to some effect. Many ideas
changed minds there. Not a prose
cutting attorney in the state but was
looking for pointers, for inspiration
to help him in this work.

Idaho, Public sentiment is raising to
La higher standard. In Owyhee coun-

county and Canyon county. Poker
chips are going out of commission.

GAMBLING DOOMED
ENTIRE STATE OF
IDAHO Is UP IN ARMS
Prosecutions of Gamblers Going on
in Nearly Every County and the
State Has Determined to Suppress
it--Law Enforcement Is the Cry
All Over the State-Gamblers Are
Heavily Fined in Many Counties of
the State.

The Boise Statesman reviews the
fight which is now being carried on
against gambling in that state in the
following comprehensive manner:
In many parts OF Idaho campaigns
have started against the gambling
evil. Officers of the law have become
more and more strict, and slowly
there is creeping over the state a
great moral wave, says the Statesman.
The "pasteboard proclivities" of cer-
tain classes of our population are be-
ing subdued. Within the last several
various points telling of victories for
the refcrmers or of fights instituted
for the enforcement of the law. CAM
bling openly and defiantly In the face
of the law has already in many sec
tions of the state become a thing of
the past. In other sections the fight
is still on.
In a recent issue of the Occur
d'Alene Press an account is given of
quick punishment administered one
violator of the gambling law as fol-
lows:
Monday night Sheriff Doust made
a raid on Cabinet and succeeded in
roping in Charles Quarmey, who was
running a black jack game. The only
party playing at the time the sheriff
arrived was Joe Garrison, a young
boy about Is years old, who had visit
ed Cabinet that evening and was en-
ticed into the game by Quarmey.
Tuesday Quarmey plead guilty to the
charge in the probite court and was
fined 1925 by Probate Judge McCrea."
In the present term of the district
court of Washington county several
gambling cases were set for trial.
Several of them were dismissed on
motion of the prosecuting attorney
because of insufficient testimony to
convict, but one man pleaded guilty
and was heavily fined. Others were
convicted on trial and punished This
is the beginning of the real strong
crusade against gambling in Washing
