Boston Wool Market.

The market is quieter than for sew
eral weeks. Not many buyers have
been on the market, and those who
have put in an appearance have been
satisfied with examining freshly ar
rived supplies, taking sample bags and
in some few cases getting refusals on
certain lines. Everything depends up
on the future of the goods market. If
manufacturers receive orders for
goods in volume eQualling expecta-
tons then a better business in raw
material will result. If they are not
successful, any activity in the latter
cannot be expected, for consumers,
while not heavily stocked, have suffi-
cient on hand to supply immediate re-
quirements of moderate extent.
Therefore, it is not surprising that
the demand shows falling off, particu-
larry as manufacturers are actively
employed in getting their new goods
before their trade. Most of the weeks
business Is in small lots of 10000 to
$4,000 pounds each. A very few ex-
ceptions are where larger quantities
have changed hands. These have
never exceeded 100000 pounds. Deal
ers say that they have been unable to
make sales because they have not the
stock inquired for. This is said to be
true of half blood, quarter blood and
delaine fieeces. Aside from a contin-
uance Of trading in Oregon wool to
arrive, there is no report this week of
similar transactions in fieeces or other
domestic wool.

VIII Skip August.

At meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Caldwell Commercial club
the committee who have been in
charge of the sales days was dis
charged and new one appointed, con-
sisting of W. H. Roadway, T. X. Little
and j. T. Hay. These gentlemen
were instructed to report to President
Lowell Monday, regarding the contin-
uing of sales days in Caldwell. They
reported to the president that they de-
cided that 1t was best to omit the Au-
gust sales day. This announcement
was disappointment to great many,
but as the committee is composed of
representatives of the three largest
business firms in the city and doubt
less receive more benefit from the
sales days than do any other firms,
1t must be concluded that it is the
best course to pursue. Mr. Redway
chairman of the committee, informs
the Tribune that the September sales
day will be hummer Extra exer-
lions will be made to make it the ban
ner day of the year.

The Statesman's Fight.

The fight that the Boise Statesman
is making on State Treasurer Hast
ings is one of the dirtiest that has
ever been made against an official.
Every one knows that the Statesman
cares nothing for the violation of the
laws if it can get the patronage. The
fact is the laws are SO made that if
the treasurer should carry out one
law to the letter he would violate an
other one. All there is in the States
mans fight is, it has a man it wants
for treasurer, who will serve the in
terests of that paper. The ear-marks
of this fact are exhibited in every ar
ticle published by that paper. Idaho

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION.

The time is drawing near when the
representatives of the republican
party In Canyon county will meet in
convention for the purpose of select
| ing delegates to the state convention,
who will assist in nominating state
officers and formulating platform
which will be a reflex of the princi-
| Piles and opinions of the rank and file
of the party in this county There is
practically but two issues to come be-
fore the convention at this time. One,
a recommendation for direct pri-
mary law, and the other the DISPOSE
ton of the liquor question. There ap-
pears to be general unanimity on the
first, but difference on the second,
as to which will be the better plan to
pursue; by endorsing local option, or
declaring for statewide prohibition.
So far as local option is concerned in
Canyon county, it can be interpreted
as prohibition. The same can be said
of Ada county, Washington county,
Latah county, NeZ Perez county, and
in fact, the entire southern counties
OF the state. If this be true, then why
should the delegates to the Middleton
convention hesitate to endorse a pro-
hibition plank for the platform? By
so doing the temperance question will
no alip ,iYo Cd
politics, while on the other hand, To-
cal option only postpones the discus
sion for two years. The prohibition
measure will clear the atmosphere for
the city elections next April, and men
can be selected for local offices &C
cording to their business abilities and
not as to whether they favor saloons
or not. If it is found that a majority
of delegates to the state convention
favor the local option plan, then the
delegates from Canyon county can en-
dorse that phase of the dilemma, with
out betraying their constituents. If
prohibition is good for half of the
state, 1t is certainly good for all the
state. Why should two or three coun-
ties be left to battle with the evil of
intemperance, simply because the
friends of the saloons are in a small
majority? Those counties may hold
up their hand and cry "Come over in
to Macedonia and help u.s." With To-
cal option, there can be no help af-
forded them. The temperance people
should ponder these questions over,
and decide to get into the fight for all
the state. The success of the temper
ance movement during the past year
justifies the assertion that statewide
prohibition would win hands down.

have been extended to foreign coun-

never has been such a splendid op-

afford. Representatives will be pres

two months remain in which to pre-

event. The Tribune would suggest
that the Commercial clubs of the Boise
and Payette valleys take this matter
OF an exhibit up in their various clubs
and arrange for joint meeting, at
which time arrangements for having
display at the congress can be made.
By united effort a display of all
kinds Of products can be sent from
these valleys, which would prove of
incalculable value to Canyon and Ada
