got a divorce in 1895.

said today She lived in Maryville,
Mo. I met her in July. She was just
16 years old then and 1 had never
seen more beautiful girl"
They eloped. Haynes said Mae
Mackenzie was not wild. She was
unsophisticated then, but when she
planned to do something she was
strong-willed. Haynes went into the
grocery and meat business here in
1895 and the family lived over the
store. An actor and his wife roome d
with them. Until then Mae fnew

day in July, 1895, she left with her
two roomers and never came back.

IN New York. The letter said that
the actor and actress had promised
to get her an engagement on the

Although reports sent out from
the wool centers of the east indicate
that wool prices will be lower this
year than last, there is nothing in the
conditions Of the sheep industry to
indicate that such will be the case.
Wool will be even higher than last
year, II world conditions are to be
considered. The wool growing area
is decreasing. The number of large
herds are decreasing. The number of
people using wool is increasing and
why should the price be lower when
the demand is stronger and the sup
ply stationary, II not decreasing?
Umatilla county woolmen will not
contract at present prices. They have
faith in the market and will hold their
clips and receive the usual high prices
which are prevalent each year in this
county.
