The fear that there would be an snarchistic
demonstration by the unemployed to whom a per.
nit was issued for mass meeting yesterday after
noon In the New Lots Fairgrounds Brownsville
caused Deputy Police Commissioner Baker Iuspec.
Flood Inspector Miles O'Reilly and es5 of their
subordnates to hurry out to the scene. They found
not a symptom of meeting at the thay-
grounds or anywhere else in all East New York,
although they searched high and low for trouble
to prevent.
A mistake in dates by NJ. ]. Kennedy. Commits
sioner of Parks OF Brooklyn. was responsible.
Peter J. Flanagan secretary of tho Socialist party

requested a permit for holding such a meeting on
April IL but as there had been no response the
meeting had been forgotten until he received the

Sheep and Wool Interests
Owner. With Headquarters Salt Lake City Add Greatly
To the Prestige Of This Important Business

Among tho more important and ex-
tensivc industries Of the western states,
and especially of Utah, Idaho and Wy
olning, is the sheep and wool business.
Conspicuous among the men who are
keeping this interest before the eoun-
try because of their able md intelligent
success in handling sheep and produc-
ing wool are a. number OF enterprisins
Salt Lake sheepmcn and tinanciers who
devote much time and careful study to
sheep and wool.
There are three notable companies
engaged in this business In Utah, idaho
and wyoming. who make their official
headquarters in this city, and 2 brief
description OF each will be of Interest
to the thousands OF readers OF the
Christmas News. telling OF The t1.azig
Intelligent inducements the West offers
investors.
AUSTIN BROS. ASSN.
One of the more important companies
is the Austin Bros Association, sheep
growers and dealers IN wool, with $780,
600 paid up capital. This company
ranges throughout the hills and valleys
OF Idaho, where the sheep get rich
pasturage and the lambs grow strong
and fat for early market The com
pany was established some five years
ago as q corporation. Have this year
some $1,000 sheep on the range and
handle 5000 feeders for market each
season The wool product from this
bunch of sheep goes to about $4,000
pounds all of which is shipped to east
ern markets and brings satisfactory
prices because of the quality.
The officers OF this company are:
Mark Austin. president Heber Austin,
vice president. and Geo. A. Smith, sec
rotary and treasurer The management
of the company is vested in Thomas
II. Austin, an experienced shepman
who knows every detail of the sheep
and wool business from the time the
lamb comes until the wool is clipped,
and the old sheep later sold for mutton
"a practical man with that long expert
ence that begets knowledge.
HEBER LAND AND LIVESTOCK.
The Heber Land & Livestock COM
pany is next with capital of 100000,
with 100000 paid in. This company
owns about 10000 head of sheep; have
their own extensive ranges in Wyoming
and Utah for spring and winter, where
the fine stock grows fat and the wool
gets soft and fleecy on the rich grasses
of that section. This company produces
about 10000 pounds of wool this sea-
son. The officers of the Heber Land
& Livestock company are: John f.
Austin, president; Mark Austin, vice
president; Geo. A. Smith, secretary and
treasurer; John Austin, a well known
sheep and cattle man is manager of
this company. and few men know the
ranges of Utah and Wyoming as does
he. Under his management the COM

year. The improved stock and the
better shipping facilities will naturally
attract more buyers and the fact tnat
sheepmen can be a little more inde-
pendent than heretofore will mean
better prices. 1t will not be long be-
fore the markets will send out their
buyers to meet the sheepmen at their
corrals, where deals Will DO closed.
Much good has been accomplished
since the organization Of the Utah
Woolgrowers' association, n corpora
ton. 1t was organized In January OF
the present year. for tho protection
of the wool industry of the state. Its
officers consist OF L. III. Callistcr. pres
ident; John II. Seely, vice president;
G. b. Stewart, secretary and treasurer.
and 2S directors from all parts of the
state. This association has accom-
plished n great deal III the matter OF
traffic rates on wool and lambs to
market 1t also sent delegates to.
Washington to labor for the defeat of
the Burkett land leasing bill, which
efforts were successful. IL this bill
had not been defeated said Mr..
Stewart, ct would have practically
ruined every shecpman in this part
of the country" The association also
established the wool storage move
ment so wool could be stored in Phila-
adelphia and not sold ut u sacrifice, and
thus, those who could hold their pro-
duet received from to cents more
than first offered them. 1t was the
success Of the Utah movement that
brought the national convention here.
The next convention Of the national
association is scheduled for Jan. Ia, 10
and 16, at Pocatello, when more than
1000 delegates VIII be present and
1t is expected that many measures
along the lines indicated will be adopt
ed for the. permanent good of the
sfeepmen.
AS to markets for the Utah product.
Mr.. Stewart says that while Los AM
geles handles a considerable amount
OF winter mutton, there 10 a ready sale
tof mutton and WOOL in Omaha, Chica-
go. Kansas City and ST. Joseph.
So, summing up the situation in
Utah, while there has beon q falling
off OF prices and profits in 1908 rs
compared with tho previous year, bet.
ter stock is raised, more protection Is
afforded and the prospects are de-
cidedly bright unless. as Mr.. Stewart
says, the tariff is reduced"

basis than ever before, and only one
thing can happen to cause dropping
spirits among those who have en-
barked in the enterprise of sheep rails
ing, and that Is q lower tariff--some-
thing the sheepmen fear far worse than
they do an epidemic of scab.

Six Million for Utah
Wool and Mutton.

las already arrived, and sheep men Of
the state are jubilant over future pros
poets,
While it is true that in point of
prices paid for mutton and wool the
business for 1908 does not come up to
the standard reached in 1907, the sheep
men gained many advantages and
when the future is taken into consider
alton the losses will really amount to
no losses at all. Although prices were
better last year than they have been
this, yet the market this year has been
larger, the facilities for handling the
product have been better, more lambs
were ready for spring shipment, the
sheepnen have had better protection,
the stock raised has proved TO be of
superior grade, the industry is on n
firrner, more sane and business like

the average yield being seven and u
half pounds per sheep. This year the
figures reach a little less, or 81, $50, 900.
Last year the wool crop was about 49,
2s5,37i. This year 1t Is about 100000
pounds.
One good feature OF Utah sheep rails
Ing Is the fact that the owners have
adopted a more systematic plan OF
grazing. III the summer time tho sheep
mon know where to send their ilocks
and tho lands and reserves have been
greatly improved, and consequently
better results are obtained. 1t Is said
that on the reserves there is room for
moro sheep and the reserves and winter
ranges are repoted to be in splendid
condition.
RANGE IN GOOD SHAPE.
Recently Sccy. C. Is. Stewart OF the
Utah State association returned from
a trip to Wyoming and to the Uiptah
reservation, and lie says that the ranges
and reserves are not overstockcd at
the present time. He says that the
snowfall in western Wyoming and Uin-
tan has been light aud of not such IL
character AS to prevent the sheep from
grazing.
Another favorable feature is the fact
that the government quarantine has
practically been raised and the scab
problem has. it might be said, been
solved. The pest, according to Mr.
Stewart. is now under control and
there is but very little In the state.
Experience has taught the sheepmen to
dip their sheep at least once each
year because they recognize the value
of it and now there are none of the
restrictions Or regulations that are det-
rimental to the sheepmen.
During the previous year sheep COM
Inissioners and government inspectors
went among tho woolgrowers and saw
to It that the dipping process was car
ried out Now this is not necessary
as the sheepIuen have waged war
upon scab and wherever 1t is discov-
cred IT is promptly stamped out. The
Interest the shcepmen have taken in
this matter has been the saving OF
thousands of dollars to thenl Natu-
rally, tho Improvement in sheep means
an improvement in wool.
OUTLOOK FOR NEXT YEAR.
A marked increase is expected next
