Speed in the Printing Off,.

During the session bills had to he print
ed on the double-qUick. House and sem
ate journals must be on the clerks and
secretary's desks each morning. The
work was divided among three of Salt
Lakes well-equipped job printing estao-
lishments The F. w. Gardiner Printing
company had the task of getting out the
house journal. G.. r. Sahm. the foreman
of the plant. and his assistants are en-
titled to credit for the excellent manner
in which the work was done The same
is true of A. J. Fleming, the foreman for
the Century Printing company which
concern did the work on the senate jour
nal. A. +. Graham, a member of the
firm. had personal charge of the bill
printing for the Tribune-RepOrter Print
ing company.
If any one should doubt the accuracy
of the figures here given he is at liberty
to have them verified by the house and
senate committees on revision. The for
mer committee is composed of Chief
Clerk Alex Buchanan and Representa-
tives Harvey p. Randall. of Ogden, and
Charles E. Marks, of this county. and

the house required 6l9 pages and those

Wool Sold in Advance.


Fully 50 per cent Of the wool Gins of
Utah have already been sold by contract
Early in the year the eastern BUYERS came
to Utah and, at a sort of general meet
ing in Ogden, majority of the wool clip
was transferred delivery to be made af-
ter shearing- The price paid by the buy
ers is satisfactory in the extreme ap-
preaching close to the 25-cent mark
There are dirty woods of course, that COM
mand only IS and 20 CENTS, but the aver
age will be better than %.
Shearing will begin within two or three
weeks, and Landing will be atIits height
within six wee6s. In Utah. as in all other
western states the clips are shorn rs
ually by machinery Hand shearing. how
ever, is still the method employed in many
districts, especially where the number of
sheep to be shorn is small. There is di-
Versence OF opinion about the superiority
of machine clipping over hand shearing
many maintaining that while the ma
chimes cut closer. the hand shearers leave
a trifle as sort of nest egg for next
year growth, and, in the end the two
systems measure about evenly 1t is con-
tended. too, that sheep fare better under
the hand process than under the machine
service. However that may be, the ma
chine plants command the patronage and
many flOckmasters are content to invest
LOCO or S1.5O0 in sheariHg outfit which
must remain idle $50 days in the year and
be in service only ten days.
Shearers Well Paid.
Sheep snearing is a profitable occupa-
ton while the season lasts. Prices for
machine shearing range from to 10 cents
the head and hand men command from
to y cents. The character of the sheep,
the degree of cleanliness of the wool and
other factors govern the scale. 1t is no
uncommon thing for shearers to earn from
so to 50 q day. The shearerS have a
union. which is numerically and finan-
cially among the strongest labor organiza-
lions in the west The annual cOnven-
ton is generally held in Butte and the
sessions extend over a period of three or
four days. There have been differences
between the owners and the shearers, but
always these disputes have been amicably
settled and the employer and employed
work in harmony.
The sheep shearer is a bird of passage.
His field of usefulness extends from Ore
gon to the Missouri and from the Rio
Grande to the Canadian boundary
Lambs Contracted For.
As in the case of wool clips. hundreds Of
thousands of lambs have been contracted
for. although their plaintive bleats will
not be heard upon the face of the earth
for many weeks to come There viii be
no auction selling in Utah this year The
lamb is worth in Chicago, Omaha, st. 10
seph. Kansas City and other sheep mar
kets from Sc 80 to s. 80 The mother sheep

These prices for mutton and wool at
quarter of a dollar the pound combine to
make the Utah flockmaster happy.
The railroads are making preparations
to handle the enormous amount OF traffc
that accrues by reason of the wool and
mutton shippi1g seasons. The principal
market for wool is Boston, but no neon
siderable quantities are sold IN Phliadel-
phia and St. Louis.

The Senate More Modest.

The senate does not call for as much as
the house by nearly 200 pages in the aS-
gregate: its proceedings of the last day
are set forth in approximately go pages.
If anyone be so disposed they may read
the full account of the official doinSs of
both senate and house in these 1.SO0 pages
of matter which will be all printed, bound
and ready for the eager public in a few
days.
InaSmuch as the last days work in the
house requires 2f5 pages in telling, it may
be interesting to note that. estimating y
lines to the page and nine words to the
line. there are given 1872 lines and l0.S4S
words. In order to produce this number
of lines and words the printer set 244. 400
ems For the entire house journal he will
set nearly 1,40O.0O0 ems. 10000 lines and
10000 words. Add to this the number of
lines. words and ems required in the SEN
ate journal one finds that he has grand
total of $500 lines. SIS, 700 wards and p
5200 ems. to say nothing of n few thou

A Favorable Winter.

In all the years that / have been in
the sheep business in Utah and Idaho"
said prominent woolgrower yesterday,
i have never seen a winter more favor
able for the flockmasters. We have come
through the cold season with a remark
able absence of Billiards. long-cOntinued
storms, intense cold or untOward weather
of any kind. Our range has been good
all the winter through. / can safely say
that fully One-third less feeding has
been required this year than during any
preceding winter. As consequence the
bands come into the shearing season in
better condition than | have ever known
them to do. Utah is particularly fortu-
nate in this respect. especially in view
of the immense losses that have occurred
in Montana and other less favored sheep
raising regions

In Gratifying State.

Unless al f~rehand calculations fail.
the wool clip in Utah this season will be
greater than ever before. The eXpecta-
ton is that fully 100000 pounds of fleece
will be taken from the backs of Utahs
sheep within the next month. Eighteen
million pounds of wool at p cents the
pound makes a total of S4j00,000 for wool
alone. In l95 there were 2.375,1 16 sheep,
whose fleece averaged GA pounds. The
number of fleeces shOFn was 2.25l252, pro-
ducing altogether 15.215.2i2 pounds of wool.
over 904 these figures show d material
increase all along the line. The number
of sheep in 1904 was 2,022, 432, the number
of fleeces 2000,J74, the average weight of
fleece to the sheep 600 and the total
number of pounds of wool 1311S.60J.
In 1894 there were 1,055.03S lambs and in
1905 1904, $50. This year the lamb crop
will be larger by far than during any
year within recent history. This increase
is, or rather it will be, due to the splen-
did manner in which the flocks have
come through the winter. 1t is the con-
fident prediction that when the lambing
period is over good deal more than 100
per cent will mark the increase.

NEW PARTY
LED BY HEARST
Radical Wing of Democratic Par
ty to Form Independence
League

New York, Sept. 2S.-The organ
ization of national independence
league was decided upon at a meet
ing yesterday of the representatives
of the state independence league
and others who are in sympathy
with the objects of those leagues as
outlined in the state or local plat
forms. The national body will be a
solidification of the MINOR leagues
existing or yet to be formed. Its
aims are political and in opposition
to the republican and democratic
parties, which league promoters de-
clare are dominated by operation IN
terests and no longer represent the
people.
Today the conference was held at
Carnegie hall, where some 200 men
said to be present from thirty states,
met at the invitation of the indie
pendance league OF this city, and
were addressed by William r.
Hearst.
The afternoon and evening ses-
sion were held, the feature of the
afternoon being an address by Mr..
Hearst, who said that the conference
had been called to discuss the advis-
ability of forming a national indie
pendence league. Republican and
democratic parties, he said, were
hopelessly in the control of corpora,
ton interests. They failed to rep,
resent the people and a third party
was needed.

Roosevelt Talk Continues

Congressman Steenerson has made
a clear, convincing and almost COM
plete statement of the reasons why
there would be no violation of any
unwritten law if Pres. Roosevelt
were to be elected for another term
The gist of the argument is the per-
iod of three years and a half, during
which Roosevelt served out the bal
ance of McKinley's second term,
should be in no sense considered as
Rooseyelts administration, since he
was careful to initiate no policy of
his own, but merely to do as he be-
lieved Mckinley would have done.
The Presidents present term is real
ly his first, as only during the past
two years and half he has deemed
himself armed with a special man.
date of the people and fully equip
ped with popular confidence in his
ability to serve them in his own way
His duty will not be fully done
with the end of his present term.
Without any disparagement of any
other man mentioned, the people
would rather not swap horses ir
crossing stream, to use Lincoln's
homely phrase.
Mr. Roosevelt may yet be brought
to comprehend the popular idea that
his declaration, after being elected ir
1904, that he would not again be &
candidate, was purely self deter
mination that he ought to withdraw
it. He had achieved his ambition tc
be president by the popular choice
and not by accident, and he cared
for no new honors. He rejected an
other term, in advance, because he
did not want it. He consulted his
own wishes in so doing. He can re-
main of the same opinion, but ac
cept the office as a duty, and not be-
cause of anv change of his desires
1t would be no third term. 1t il

politicians and those newspapers

EARLY WINTER
PROPHETS SAY
Range Man Say Grass FOretelIs
Early Cold

Grindstone, Sept. 2S. Pioneer
residents of this part of the ceded
Sioux lands lying between the Miss
ouri rIver and the Black Hills, who
by close observance during the past
twenty-five or thirty years have be-
come reliable weather prophets, de-
clare that the manner in which buff
falo grass is curling this fall indicat-
es that winter will set in earlier than
customary. An experienced plains
man has no difficulty in telling
whether the winter will set in early
or late by examining this curious
grass of the plans. Some of the old
pioneers used their knowledge of
this peculiar plant in foretelling and
warning the Indians who then occu-
pied this reagion of some of the
greatest and most severe storms
which swept over this region in the
early 90's. They say that when the
winter is to set in early the buffalo
grass cures differently than during
other seasons and has peculiar ap.
pearance which enables them to ac-
curately predict that a winter will
set in early and be severe.

Train officers should be given power
