SHEEP GUT IN DEMAND.
Germany Needs More Strings for
Musical Instruments.

Consul Hurst, of Plauen, has made
an investigation of the sources of sup
ply Of the materials entering into the
manufacture of musical instruments
in that district Of Germany, which has
revealed the fact that nearly 10000
pounds Of sheep gut are used annu-
ally for strings. He writes:
Nearly the whole Of this quantity
is imported from abroad, chiefly from
Russia, which furnishes about $4,000
pounds the balance coming from
England. Australia and India. The
hope that some managers of great
American abattoirs would care to ex-
anime this field for an article that
may be more profitably disposed of
than at home has led this office to ask
Consular Agent Fielder, of Markneu-
kirchen, to make inquiries of the local
manufacturers.
He has been informed by them that
English sheep gut. sold by three-score
and hundred weight, is preferred to
all other kinds and very high prices
are paid for 1t. different grades SELL
ing at s5.95, s7.14 ana $7.61 per Kill
ogram (2.2046 pounds).
The gut of the English sheep is Of
a fine white color and very durable.
In Russia, where the sheep are prin-
cipelly slaughtered on account Of their
meat, only young animals are killed.
whose gut is lighter and softer than
that Of old sheep, and which is pur-
chased by the stringmakers at about
s4.2S per kilogram. The Australian
variety brings 1881 per kllogram, and
that from Indian $3.50.

Four hundred sugar beet workers,
all foreigners, started from Argo this
morning for Fort Collins and other
points in the northern part of the
state, along the Colorado & Southern
railway, where they will work all
summer, says the Denver Post. A
trainload of sugar-beet workers have
been carried into the state from Ne
braska by the Burlington, and three
carloads of Mexican sugar-beet work.
ers arrived from near Trinidad few
days ago. The force Of foreigners
will be in excess Of those used in the
beet fields last year. .r
The foreigners starting from Argo
this morning have Is carloads of
household goods and two carloads of
livestock. Each year on the pilgrim
ages to the northern part of the state
the foreigners carry all their house
hold goods, dogs and cattle. The
freight charges eat up much of their
wages.
Were it not that the sugar-beet
workers use every member of the
family in the work of caring for the
beets the pay would be but little bet
ter than that paid the natives of Cuba
and the Philippine islands, 1t is said
A certain sum per acre is paid fol
tending the sugar beets. If men hat

their wages for the season would bt

year-old children, and by living OF

Travel from the northwest cities
to Nome will be very heavy this sea-
son according to reports from Seattle.
Although the demand for labor is very
sharp all over the northwest, hun
dreds of laborers will go to Alaska to
prospect and work on the Tanana and
Fairbanks railroad, which is being
rushed to completion.
The Seattle Star, in speaking of the
northward rush, says: I..

class accommodations, both on the
upper and main decks, have been
sold. The second class accommoda-
tons are also filling up rapidly.

The Victoria, Northwestern Steam
shipu company, is sold out of first
class accommodations Many depos-
its have already been received for
second class reservations.
Steerage Business Heavy.
This morning the different agents
stated that the steerage business was
also receiving much attention, one
large company having been booked
for the Senator. Steerage passengers
generally leave their tickets until the
last and when the first steamers
sailed north last year there were many
who were left.
The Ohio has been advertised to
make six round trips this season and
already much speculation has been
given to which will be the lucky
steamer this year to hold the record.
The Senator and Victoria are also
sche eduled for six round trips. Previ-
Gus seasons have seen only one steam
er making this number of voyages.
The present passenger tariffs which
have been decided on were today put
into effect and are as follows: First
class, upper deck, 800; first class,
main deck, SIS; second class, s65, and
steerage, s35.

Come to the Fountain?


Now Pendleton is famous
For lot Of pretty things,
1t long has held the banner,
For it's mud-producing springs.
But since the City Council
Has resolved to pave them down,
Another new phenomenon
Is startling all the town.
'Tis Dyer's FOUNTAIN!
A Soda Fountain!
AS sparkling and refreshing as can be,
And when the wind is flynn,
And with thirst you're almost dyin',
Or IL some goods you're buyin',
Why, just take "a glass" and see.
You will feel some ten years younger.
And perhaps a pinch OF hunger,
So you'd better take a package Of the
"ss" COFFEE.
When the twilight, and the cleaning
And the tiny silv'ry stars,
Urge the friends to stroll out roaming
Or to whirl around in cars,
When the moon peeps oer the noun
tain,
And the sun sets in the sea,
Bring your friends to Dyer's FOUN-
TAIN,
In the EAST END GROCERY.
Where the candy tree is growing,
And the "POP-on-ice" is flowing,
And the Phosphates fall all glowing,
From the blushing cherry tree.

To the grove Of Poesy, ....
To the home of Peace and Plenty,

Governor Frank r. Gooding,
the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor of Idaho, is billed to speak
at the Odd Fellows Hall in this
city tonight, at 8 o'clock, and at
Mackay tomorrow night. 1t will
be of interest to know what he
thinks of his administration. He
will probably tell us, as he told
Blackfoot people not long ago,
that he is the best governor that
Idaho has ever had. What a
bouquet he flung at himself. His

'The Stricken City of the Gold
en- West" is poem written by
Mrs. L. L. Sweet, of Wallace,
which has been set to music as a
song and copyrighted by the
George Jaberg Music Company
of Cincinnati, Ohio, who will
publish it as soon as the author
ess has corrected the proofs sent
to her.
The poem is a little gem. 1t
is both pathetic and stirring and
breathes that spirit of confidence
characteristic of San Francis
cans. 1t is probably the only
poem, certainly the only one set
to music, which deals with Cali
fornia's awful disaster.
Leading musicians of Cincin-
natl are enthusiastic over it and
famous English orchestra lead
er has applied for the European
rights.
Professor Hermann, who has
tried the music from the proofs
and studied it's relation to the
song said to a Press reporter
THE music is excellent. The
words are beautiful. Taken to-
gether they constitute superb
song. 1 predict a great success
for it. The song will reflect
honor on Wallace as the home OF
it's author. Wallace Press.
