Shearing Starts This Week.
Shearing will begin all over the
county this week. The Deer Creek
plant opens up the 10th and wool will
begin to fall over around Stanford
before the end Of the week Shear
ers are arriving daily and are being
sent out to the various shearing
plants. Within a couple OF weeks
there will be tens of thousands Of
pounds of wool sacked and it will
not be long before it will be rolling
into the big warehouse by eight-horse
loads.
Last year there was close to two
million pounds of wool stored in the
local wool warehouse and baled o.
here but there will hardly be that
much this year owing to the sale OF
thousands of head of sheep which
were taken out of the county last
fall
Cattle Looking Up.
There is considerable activity in
cattle throughout Fergus county
these days. Several thousand head

and there are buyers still anxious to
pick up any stray punches. Cattle in
the county are in good shape and

ing.
All in all, the outlook for good
year in Fergus is most excellent.
Local business men are doing a sat

local banks show that all Of those
institutions are in the very best of
condition.

PROVIDENCE FALLS BEHIND
IN BRICK BUILDINGS

Washington. Nov. 7-An interesting re-
port OF the clay working industries of the
United States by jefferson Middleton
special agent OF the geological survey bu-
reau. gives some significant and enlight-
ening facts and figures with regard 10
the enterprise and growth OF various cit
les In the United States.
They should attract particular attention
IN Rhode Island. especially in Provi-
dence.
These statistics are for tho year 1905.
compared TO previous years, and they
SHOW the year just passed TO have been
most prosperous one in the clay indus
try, both as regards the production OF
the material and its products.
The labor situation I'm the building
trades and clay-working industries was
good in that year, no general strikes be-
ing lnaugurated.
Providence. It is shown by the statis-
teal tables accompanying Mr.. Middle
tons report, is one of the cities I'm which
building activities decreased I'm 1906. and
IL is also one Of those in which the num-
ber or wooden buildings const tructed far
exceeded the number of those built OF
brick and stone, and classified as fire.
proof
The number OF permits granted for the
erection OF buildings i'm Providence in
1905 was 1850, against 1853 I'm 1906 The
total cost Of the buildings erected in the
latter year was $3.aS3.3O0. as compared
with Si,562, $50 for the previous year a de-
crease in tho II months of s579,65O, or 1910
per cent.
Many. il not all. cities throughout the
United States, moreover. with popula-
tion relatively that OF Providence, had a
far better building record In 1906. Indian
apolis, for instance the population OF
which, according TO the national census
OF 1905, was 169,l64 dhat Of Providence be-
ing given as l75,597, erected buildings in
1906. To the total cost OF $5530.99S Kansas
City, Mo-. with population OF 163,752,
$40 765. $50; ST. Paul. population l62o65.
50. .5S7, ,4l9. and Rochester, population 162, COS,
$6.175,47S.
More significant still. perhaps, are tho
figures which show that other New Eng
land cities have much better building
record than Providence, considering their
smaller population. Hartford, for IN
stance, whose population in 1900 was only
$3.50. as against the l75,597 credited 10
Providence. erected buildings costing $3.-
Ols, ,S9O or only 1864 40 less. Fall River,
with population of 10, ,s63. erected build
ings costing 1899. .3?5, and Worcester,

credited with new buildings costing 81
