Wool Men Sign a Freedom
Declaration.
Chicago Warehouse Plan
Goes Through.

An organization which will prove
Of vital concern to one of Idaho's
greatest industries was effected at
Chicago last week when the Nation
al Wool Warehouse and Storage
company was organized.
The company was organized with
a capital of 100000 of which the
Chicago business men take 40 per
cent and the western wool men go
per cent of the stock. Ground was
purchased by the committee on
which to erect the warehouse. Plans
and specifications have been drawn
and work will begin February %
for a concrete-reinforced building
five stories high of a capacity to &C
comodate 28,OOO,00O pounds of wool.
This building will be completed
in ample time to accommodate the
western wool clip for the season Of
1909. Financial arrangements
have been made to accommodate not
only the western wool growers but
also the eastern manufacturers who
buy wool on time.
Idaho Man Is President.
The officers of the new company
are as follows. President, Fred w
Gooding of Shoshone, Ida; vice
president, L. G. Leonard of Chica-
go; secretary. treasurer, NJ. Thomp-
son of Chicago. The board of d.
rectors consists of ID members, nine
of whom are western wool men and
six Chicago business men.
Out From Under Now.
With the consumation of this i'm
portant project the wool men of the
west will breathe easier. For one
thing they will no longer be at the
mercy of eastern commission houses,
whose competition in the markets
of the west has for some time been
regarded as "bluff" backed by se-
cret understandings as to price.
Whether or not that has been the
case, the warehouse plan will en-
able men engaged in this impor-
tant industry to store their wool
until market conditions warrant
it's sale in their judgment.
Commission houses have recently
offered fancy prices for 1909 Idaho
clips and some sales have been
made. 1t was stated these offers
were made in an effort to break ur
the warehouse scheme. Enough
wool was pledged, however, to FL
the Idaho quota.
Under the new plan the growers
will deal directly with the manu-
facturers.-Statesman.
