TO MEET HERE
WILL DISCUSS BUILDING or
WAREHOUSE IN CHICAGO.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Flockmasters Of the district tribu-
tary to Billings will hold a meeting III
the city hall, Tuesday afternoon, Dec.
ember l, to consider the plan advocat.
I'd by the officers of the National Wool
Growers association to build a wool
warehouse in Chicago.
a. 9. Logan is the prime 0 v in
calling the meeting, which will be ad-
dressed by Governor Gooding OF Idaho.
Fred w. Gooding, president of the
Woolgrowers National Association; w.
III. Manse, secretary Of the Association
OF Commerce Of Chicago; James y.
Cosgrif of Rawlins, Wyo., another
lonicer Of the wool mems association
and Thomas Austin Of Salt Lake City.
President Gooding and Mr.. Cosgrif
we're in Billings recently making ar
rangements for the meeting.
For years." said Mr.. Logan in
speaking Of the coming meeting, "the
hockmasters have been at the
mercy Of the wool buyers. The. plan
to establish a wool warehouse in Chi
cago is a solution of the question how
to make the fiockmasters more indie
pendent"
The f1nancers OF Chicago have offer
ed to stock the company which will
build the warehouse, but they will
only be permitted to take AZ per cent
Of the stock, the woolmen themselves
owning the balance and thus c%ontroll-
ing the warehouse. Several of the lead
ing woolmen in this section have signi-
fed their intention Of buying shares,
which are worth $50 each. The sheep
men will raise $25o,oOO and the Chica-
80 bankers $780, 900, which sum will
cover the cost Of the building and the.
operating expenses for the first year.
Pledges Of wool are also being
sought. 1t is intended to have 49,
100000 pounds Of wool pledged for
the coming season. Flockmasters in
the state of Idaho have already pledg-
ed 100000 pounds, it is said that
sheepmen in Utah will pledge an even
amount, while a like sum will be rails
ed in the Pacific coast states and
Wyoming and Montana will pledge
large amounts. This state alone could
pledge the entire amount, so great is
the wool yield.
When the warehouse is built the
wool will be shipped to the Chicago
as it is clipped and will be sorted and
graded at the wool house and sold
on samples for the grower. The rail
road have announced that they will
cooperate with the Chicago ware,
house and will allow wool to be ship
ped east to Chicago, stored in the
warehouse for sometime and then
shipped to Boston or some eastern
woolmarket for the same price as it
is now shipped direct.
Governor Gooding, his brother, Mr..
Cosgriff and Mr.. Austin will explain
to the f1ockmasters at the meeting
Tuesday the advantages to be gained
by building the warehouses in Chica-
go, while Mr.. Mause, who is a financier
OF the Windy City, will explain what
the bankers of Chicago will do in the
proposition and for the sheepmen.
Mr.. Logan intends to have letters
announcing the meeting printed and
sent to all the woolmen and sheep
owners in the territory tributary to
Billings, urging them to attend the
coming meeting. &s@#&s<

IDEAS FRoM CITIZENS.

1t is perhaps well not to relieve the
minds Of many Americans that
the government at Washington can
do anything, can comply with any re-
quest of citizens, but the worries OF
the department heads might be re-
duced IL more citizens would taxi into
consideration the obstacles in the way
of acting upon the plans or policies
which they advocate. AS an illustra-
ton, the Navy department is now en-
gagged in the diplomatic work of try
ing to pacify some California citizens
who are wrought up because Admiral
Sperry, in command of the touring bat
tleships, has declined to bring home a
few shiploads of Nubian goats. The
Californians are convinced that the
Nubian goats, If properly crossed with
the native species, would solve the
milk problem that is now prominent
in many large American cities. To
this end, they have appealed from Ad-
miral Sperry's decision and are asking
the Navy department to go into the
goat business on a large scale.
While the Navy department does
not feel called upon to butt in on the
goat question, the Department of Agri-
culture begs leave to report that it
has been doing a lot of work along the
lines suggested by the irate Califor-
mans, with the prospect that Nubian
or Assyrian goats may be imported to
trained to serve as allies to the COW
in the production of milk. The de-
partment has discovered that the AS
syrian or Nubian goats live we'll in the
milder climates in this country. They
produce milk that is considered better
and purer than that of the COWS and
entirely free from tubercular germs.
These goats, it is stated, are very diff
ferent from the American type, being
tame, odorless. and requiring delicate
food. They will not thrive on bill
board posters and are not Migrants by
nature, seldom caring to wander from
their own yards or pastures. They are
famous for their milk producing quail
ties and can be kept much more
cheaply than lows. II experiments
now being conducted by the Agricul-
tural department experts result salts
factorily plans will be made for intro
ducing into this country a special
breed of goats with special reference
to their ~milk-giving qualities.

INAUGURATION AND BtSINEss

Official reports for the month ending
with September show that the tide Of
immigration has begun to ebb again.
the number of laborers arriving from
other shores being considerably in ex-
cess, for the month, of those returning.
the balance is In favor of immigration,
the arrivals for the last week in Sep
TENDER exceeding the departures by
about 700. Discussing the changed
conditions, a writer in the New York
Press says:
Since the panic. an outgo of 525OOO work
Ing people with only 27O, 600 people coming
in has actually decreased the laboriug pop
ulation of the United States by $4,000.
Even last month the weekly excess OF de-
p%artures averaged 5000. 80" There is no
parallel in our history to these after-panic
figures. Following the panic OF 1898, an
nual immigration was Immediately cut
down from $4,000 to $4,000. while annual
emigration increased from $4,000 to 100, 900.
This left the arrivals stin the larger num-
Der: but on the other hand the autumn
season did not check the outgo. The fiscal
year 1880 saw Immigration dWlndle TO S6O,-
900 and emigration rise to $4,000. Follow
ing 1878. the effect of the commercial de-
preston also lasted longer than a year,
emigration in 1875 being nearly double that
of 1873, and immigration In 1875 being barely
one-third of that during the panic year.
The fact that the tide of immigra-
ton has set America-wards is signif-
icant in indicating that the news has
%percolated through the old world that
business conditions in America are
again becoming normal, and that an
era of prosperity is setting in with
the prospect of work at good wages for
all. The demand for labor is increas-
ing in all of the industrial centers OF
the country and the foreign laborers
who returned to their homes when the
depression set in last fail will be the
quickest to take advantage of the i'm
proved conditions.
