WYOMING CLIP WILL
BE OF HIGH GRADE,

The woolgrower is not receiving the
price for his fleece this year that he
expected, according to one of the east
ern buyers, says the Salt Lake Trib-
une. Wool that was expected to bring
20 cents a pound is selling for from
16 to Is cents. The price reigns in
southern Utah, along the line If the
Salt Lake route, and in this district
shearing is practically over. In I'm
ion Pacific territory in Wyoming about
l 900, 900 pounds has been sold at
prices ranging from Is to 20 cents.
The price last year for the same class
of wool was from 20 to "a cents per
pound, and the same figure was asked
this year, but the buyer would not meet
the demand. The Wyoming clip is Of
a higher grade and in better condition
than that of southern Utah, and this &C
counts for the higher price.

A Foolish Idea

We heard a young man remark last
week that 1.-THE world owes me a liv-
ing" 1t is to be hoped for that young
mans good that he'll get the notion
out of his head. It's a mistake, a grave
mistake. He never entertained a more
foolish idea nor one which will bring
him a smaller measure of respect. The
world owes the young man nothing,
but instead he owes the world and So
ciety an active, noble manhood, a stea-
dy, honest energy which will enable
him to associate with decent men and
women in a true manliness of character
that will make his presence and COM
panionship desired. The truly intelli.
gent activity, and this young man
should contribute to society's happi'
ness and welfare the grace which
comes through study, toll and honest

OUGHT TO SETTLE IT.

The positive utterances of both
President Roosevelt and Forester Pin
chot upon the question of the control
of the public domain ought to settle
all controversy as to what Is or what
is not their particular attitude in the
matter. They favor leasing by the
acre and o n permit system, unless
in certain cases the latter system is
actually demanded by the local stock
men. The presidents greatest desire
is that the problem shall be settled in
the interests of the entire people, CIV
ing all concerned the benefit of n
square deal. The wishes of the peo-
pie are his wishes. In II settlement,
it must be understood first of all that
the homemaker comes first. After his
interests are carefully guarded the
larger stockmen may be taken care of
in an equitable manner
Senator Warren has stated the po-
sition of Forester Pinchot and the
president in iunmistakable language.
This Is confirmed in the letter from
Mr. Pinchot to the senator. Mr.. Pin
chot goes even farther and says that
wherever the acre lease can be intro
duced in the forest reserve it will take
precedence, that the system is much
in vogue at the present time.
Hereafter the statement that the
administration is unalterably opposed
to any kind of n leasing system must
be denied, as the documentary evi.
dence to the contrary is at hand.

State Control

State Control .
A general movement is being started
in the west towards securing OF state
control of the government lands with
in the borders of the various states.
Recently We published an article
written by Prof. P. w. jenkins of Big
Piney, who is an enthusiast on that
subject, in which he suggested that a
convention Of delegates from the
range states be held to discuss the
feasibility Of the state control Of these
lands. Since then Governor Henry
Ruchtel Of Colorado has called a con
vention to meet in Denver, and has in.
vited representatives interested in the
furtherance Of such a plan. The idea
is a good one. and the time IS now at
