WOOL MARKET SHOWS NO I'M
PROVEMENT

A query was advanced as to whether
any of the Idaho clip this year had
been sold at 10 cents and this was in
stantly denied with the answer that
the Idaho wool would bring a better
price than that anywhere.
Several of the eastern buyers were
consulted at the hotel this afternoon,
but without exception they had moth
ing to offer. When asked how long
they intended to stay in this territory
and what their plans or offers are
about buying the Idaho clip, the buy
ers failed to comprehend the drift of
the conversation and said they did
not know. They are apparently wait
ing.
Local woolmen have been Informed
that business rushed for the Utah
Woolgrowers' association recently
when the Salt Lake office filed with
the sheepmen from different parts of
the state who had come to make ar
rangements to store their wool in the
east.

The Boise News says of the condi-
ton of the wool market in that city
and in southern Idaho:
What are eastern wool buyers going
to offer for the Idaho clip this year?
This is the question which Is puzzling
local sheepmen who are at a loss to
understand the peculiar market con-
ditions.
The fact that the eastern buyers
in the city and have been here ever
since the clipping season opened
without making any advances, causes
endless speculation as to what the ma
ture Of the orders are under which
they are acting.
For the past month as many as five
representatives of eastern wool firms
have been stopping ia the Idanha
and have been quietly watching de-
veIopments with the clip. They wilI'
make no advance to local woolmen
and are offering no inducements.
When seen this morning by a rep
resentative Of the Capital News. one
of the prominent sheepmen of the
state and an officer Of the Idaho asso-
citation said that he failed utterly to
comprehend the situation in the wool
market and would very much like to
know what the eastern buyers, who
are here, intended to do.
Il was learned that approximately
1000, 900 pounds Of wool from this
years clip has already been shipped
out Of this state to the eastern mar
ket on consignments which were made
before the clip started by local sheep
men.
The clip is better than usual and
as large as that Of last year, the grade
being finer.
When asked II it would be possible
that the Idaho producers would at
tempt to centralize their wool with
the purpose Of holding It for future
delivery and until the market opens
up and better prices are offered, the
sheepman said that he had heard
nothing to this effect and that he did
not think this would be done, al
though the conditions right now are
so unusual that it would be hard to
tell what would result.

of each license is dispensing liquor
Hereunder,
The mayor of Eugene, who spoke at
Oregon City on the evening OF May
Is. 1908, in the interests Of the pro-
hlbklonists, stated that the business
conditions I'm that county were fur
better under prohibition than with
out it, and that his sons business had
increased from $4,000 per year prior
TO prohibition, to $50, 900 per year af-
ter prohibition was adopted, BUT HE
FAILED TO TELL HIS AUDIENCE
THAT HIS son WAS ENGAGED IN
THE DRUG BUSINESS AND HELD
ONE OF THOSE GOVERNMENT
LICENSES TO SELL LIQUOR.
During the past year there was
aggregating 200 per cent greater sale
in that line Of goods than under the
retail liquor license law. and during
the past year bottled whisky, COM
monty known as case goods, exceeded
400 per cent greater sale than under
the retail license law.
We admit that prohibition, such As
they have in Lane county, is good for
the lawyers and professional jurymen.
for about all they have done in Lane
county for the last two years is to
prosecute offenders against the pro-
hibition law, and in the prosecutions
thousands OF dollars of the taxpayers
money has been wasted and but little
accomplished.
One conviction in Linn county cost
the taxpayers a little over $4,000.
Thirteen trials with verdicts OF not
guilty in AZ days and one conviction.
The farmers pay their share OF the
additional expense.
Who Are Working for Prohibition?
A few preachers who never paid one
dollar In taxes In their lives.
Now ask them why Linn county has
"A government liquor licenses issued
to its citizens, and 55 in Lane county?
Both prohibition.
The druggists and lawyers are rich
in prohibition counties. but the tax
payer pays the fiddler. Central

out by the liquor men at the last mo-
ment, comparing Linn county. All
we need to say is that Mr.. Wylle of
Pendleton is from there where
ne hade his home. He says as
others do that Mayor Mat
locks son has no drug store and new

of lies. There is not a word of truth
in it. Two years ago they published
declarations from men in Texas, and
from various parts of the land when
the mater was looked up by telephone
1t was discovered that these wholesale
liars had printed lot of letters, every
one of which had been forged. This Is
simply filled with lot of lies. If you
ask the saloonmen here about 1t they
know nothing about 1t and will
not own. it because they know 1t Is
full of lies and made out of whole

are supplying all the money for this
campaign. They are tired of having
their labor ruined and their taxes

farmers were interviewed the other
day. Fourteen out of the Is are for

That question will be voted upon at
the election held June l, 1908.
The prohibitionists give us for ex-
ample Lane county, Oregon, for the
reason that Lane county's voting pop
ulation is about the same as that of
Umatilla county. They also inform
us that Lane county has had prohi-
bition for a period of two years, but
indications are that it is in name only.
The internal revenue office in Portland
Oregon, shows that on May 10, 1908,
55 government liquor licenses were
held by the citizens of Lane county,
which made a gain of 10 on the same
licenses over the preceding year.

In the early part of the war the

Commander j. y. Bulloch, one of
whose relatives was the mother of
President, Roosevelt, to Europe to en-
deavor to have vessels built for the
Confederate navy. He had no difficulty
in getting. them built, but an uphill
work to get them to sea. All of the
armored vessels Were seized and not
allowed to DEPART, and only few
of the unarmored ones escaped. The
first to get away was the Oreto. at
forwards known as the Florida. She

the English flag and commanded by
an Englishman. She was loaded with
arms and stores for blockade, pur-
poses, and bound for Nassau. New
Providence To follow her was the
steamer Bahama. fully equipped. and
bound for the same port Upon the
arrival of the Florida she was seized
and a, trial took place. She was found
not to have violated the neutrality OF

ant j. N. Mafiit had been assigned as
her commander. and the bahama, with
only a fragment of crew and officers,
