GROWERS LIKE STORAGE PLAN
WyominE sheepmen Are TnkinE Ad-
vantage of Opportunities
Omaha Onerr.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. June 2S.-tSFeciaL)-
Wool growers Of Wyoming are now re-
ceiving better prices for wool than were
offered earlier in the season, and the in
dications are prices will go still higher
When shearing commenced in Carbon
county early in April there were few buy
ers in the field, and they made no offers
for the purchase of the wool Later they
made deals on n consignment basis and
practically the entire clip of that county
went east on consignment and on advances
Of from to 10 cents per pound.
In other sections Of the state as the
feeces were removed from the Sleeps
backs a few buyers made low offers, but
the offerings we're below y cents per pound.
The state and national associations OF wool
growers advised the growers to hold their
wool and not accept the offers Of the buy
ers, and almost without exception this ad-
vice was needed The result was the buy
ers could not obtain wool at their own
prices and were compelled to raise their
offers to get wool.
The Wy oming association inaugurated the
Omaha storage plan and a company was
organized and built a monster warehouse
there and about the middle of May the
clips started going TO that point and are
Sllll going. central wyoming was lIe SeC-
ton that contributed the largest number
Of shipments to the Omaha warehouse, and
the result has been to advance the price
of central Wyoming wool from ~ to 10 and
even 16 cents per pound and the top has
not been reached. These same woods last
year brought from l6 to p cents, and it is
believed that by September l Wyoming
woods will be bringing within and cents
of last years prices.
The wool storage plan inaugurated by
the National Wool Growers association at
st. Paul, Mimi. and Chicago, and the will
ingness of the manufacturers to buy direct
from the growers have had the desired
result and growers are now receiving some
where near the market value of their
product
Another year there will be more buying
| direct from the grower by the manufac.
| turer and the storage plan will be en-
larged and wool auction sales will follow
| with the inevitable result that the middle.
man will be relegated to the rear and WOO
will cease to be a speculative commodity
as in the past and the growers will not b,
! called upon to make good the losses of the
middlemen or pay them the excessive prof
its they have enjoyed in years past.

STORM , MAKES IDEAL DAY

sunshine Tor Awhile.

The deluge Of rain Saturday night, driven
by the terrific wind. was the forerunner of
a magnificent Sabbath. Nature was smll-
ing its most benign approval on what had
beer done and the day could not have been
more ideal in its beauty and comfort. The
air was clarified, there was none of that
murky, sticky humidity; 1t was as light as
a feather and played with welcome touch.
The sun 0hone brightly but not opprcs-
sively; the grass and trees looked greener
and more majestic than ever; the streets
were immaculate in their cleanliness. In
all II was about the most beautiful day Of
the season and Omaha people-grest lovers
of Gods glorious out-of-doors-were not
slow to manifest their appreciation Of It,
Though rain came. it was rot until the
day was nearly gone and the crowds in
parks and on car and carriage rides had
rea he'd homes. The rain came gently in
the afternoon and made a cool, comfortable
evening.
Street car men say they have not expert
enced so much difficulty in a storm for
many a day as Saturday night One Of the
most frequent and dangerous obstacles cast
IN their way by the wind and rain were
the numerous trees blown down across the
tracks or trolley wires. In many cases in
Dundee and other thickly treed sections
this annoyance was terrible.
Harney street cars going or coming on
California street were almost swept off
their tracks where the Boulevard crosses
