HEPBURN CHANGES HIS MIND
Allows Bill Granting Right to Dam
Snake River to Pass.
Recedes from Determination TO Talk
Bill to Death-Having Amended
1t, Gives Up the Fight.

Having on Tuesday declared that he
was opposed on principal 10 the govern
ments granting 10 private parties the
right to build dams in navlgable rivers,
Senator Hepburn. Of Idaho. yesterday re-
ceded from his position and allowed a
bill 10 pass giving TO a Washington State
company the right TO dam a river. which
he declares. will materially injure the
prosperity OF HIS own State.
Tuesday evening Mr.. Hepburn declared
that he would oppose the bill-which al
lows a dam TO be constructed across the
Snake River at the Five-mile rapids
with all the power at his command. and
by any device which the rules OF the Sen
ate would allow him 10 adopt. He could
have killed the bill. so far as the rules Of
the Senate are concerned. IL he had per
sisted in his determinat ation. II has been
done before. notably in the case OF the
river and harbor bill which Senator Car
ter. of Montana. talked to death.
Yesterday, however, after having de-
layed the passage os the bill three days.
Mr.. Hepburn drew in his horns offered
an amendment 20 require the company 70
keep men on hand 10 open and close
locks. which are provided in the bill, and
not 10 charge any toll for the use OF the
locks. and having made a speech in which
he said he. felt as II he were going 10
execution. sat down and allowed the bill
TO pass-as it did By an overwhelming
majority Of votes-47 70 l.
In passing the bill, the Senate invited
President Roosevelt 10 exercise the
threatened veto power. In his recent
special message 10 Congress the President
condemned the granting by legislation Of
rights and franchises in navigable waters
TO private corporations. unless a limit
or time were put upon the life of the
franchise, and the right reserved to the
government 70 impose and collect tolls
for the use OF the waters. No such

SHEEP IN EXCELLENT SHAPE
Commissioners say Favorable Winter
Has Put FlocISs far Ahead oil
All Previous Records.


Cheyenne, Wyo., March S0.--The state
board of sheep commissioners, which
is getting everything in readiness Tor
the annual shearing pen inspection, mas
given out the statement that sheep in
Wyoming are in better shape now than
at any time in the history of the INDUS
try in this estate. especially at TINS
season of the year. The past winter
has been favorable for the grazing OF
sheep, and with few exceptions all
sheep have come through in splendid
condition. The sheepmen In most sec
tons are now confronted with short
feed. owing TO the dry, open winter,
and in sections where green grass
makes It's appearance by TINS time'
there is no green grass. But the grow
ers had immense supplies OF hay some
of which has been held over for TWO
and three seasons, and this is now be-
ing fed to the ewes and weak wethers
In some instances corn is being FED
TO the ewes in preparation of the
lambing period.
WOOL CLIP PROMISING.
Sheepmen are looking for unusually
heavy fieeces and good prices in spite
of the depressed financial conditions.
The neeces will be heavy owing to the
open winter and prices will be salts
factory, for the growers are in con-
dition to compel the commission men to
pay satisfactory prices, or the wool Will
not be sold.
In anticipation of combination TO
squeeze" the clip, or force prices five
or six cents per pound below the true
market value, the growers are building
big warehouses in omaha, Cody and
other places, and with those at Casper,
Douglas and Clearmont, they Will be
able to store the entire clip of the state
which this year VIII aggregate $4,000
900 pounds.
Banlts have been found that advance
10 cents per pound on the wool, and
arrangements have been made for dis
posing of the wool to private bidders,
or at auction sales.
MAY CONTROL SITUATION.
II is expected the storing of from
80, 900. 900 to 75000.0 900 pounds of the
wyoming and Montana woods will have
a very important bearing upon the sit
uation, and will in a measure not only
break up any combination among the
buyers. but will force the consumers of
the wool to pay the market value for
the clips.
The wool storage proposition has the
Endorsement of the Wyoming and ma
tional associations, and as the clips
can be handled very cheaply and at
small rates of interest to the grower.
1t is expected that the plan will sue
coed from the start Heretofore the
growers have been completely at the
mercy of the buyers. or commission
men, but large profits during the past
two years have enabled the sheepmen
to get out of debt, obtain SURPRISES
and unlimited credit, and thus becom-
ing almost IL not wholly independent
OF the middlemen.
