ANOTHER BREAK
IN The CANAL

The second break in the Riden-
baugh canal occurred Friday morning
a week ago, at South Boise when the
entire new work of repairing the old
break, which had just been finished,
was completely washed out. A gap
of rs feet was made.
The former break in the canal &C.
Cured just two weeks ago tonight
and since that time force of men
has been kept at work on the en-
bankment. Although water was turn
ed in a few days ago, the work was
still continued strengthening the bank,
Early this morning l. w. Hart
whose residence is just below the can
al, noticed water washing through
the new work and at once put some
men to work and telephoned TO the
headgate to shut off the water, but
before the gates could be closed the
mass of dirt gave way and the fear
full gap was again opened, which i
is estimated it will take even Longer
to repair than before and the expense
will be much greater.

wants sheep now at higher prices,
while none want lambs even at the
decline.
The demand for feeders is fairly
good with practically not half
enough coming to supply the trade.
One string of yearling ewes sold
this week at $6.05 but there is good
demand for them, and a good many
car loads could be sold as high as
1925 to $3.50, were they to be had.
Feeding wethers are very scarce
and selling at 81 to $4.25 and year
ling feeders are practically not to be
had this week but are quotable up to
and 5 lac.
We look for increased offerings next
week from the ranges, and would not
be surprised to see the native run
shut off a little on account of the
; break this week, as it is pretty hard
, to buy these lambs in the country to
do any good, especially when We get
these bad declines. AS stated before,
we advise the owners of these native
lambs to get rid of them, as they will
bring more money now than at any
time again; that is, anything that has
weight to it. The light-weights, if
doing well, ought to be held and
made bette if possible. The owners
ought to be able to govern their con-
ditions and when they weigh about
60 pounds or better, they ought to be
marketed.

up J. H. Merritt's safe and shattered
about three hundred dollars worth of

Nitro glyceine was the explosive
used.
The thief evidently became fright
ened as he made his escape without
re-entering the building. There were
several dollars in change and some
checks in the safe which were un-
disturbed.
Previous to blowing up the safe
the robber forced open the money
drawer and secured seventy-four pen
mics which was the only gain. He
left his tools and a can of nitro gly-
cerine in the store. These are now
in the custody of Sheriff Breshears.
No clue to the robber has yet been
discovered.

REPORT ON The
WOOL MARKET

Chicago, Illinois, July %, 1907
The supply of sheep and lambs will
show a pretty big increase this week,
largely owing to the fact that there
has been heavy receipts of natives,
and we are sorry to say this branch
of the trade has received serious
break. However, it is not surprising,
as we have been looking for heavy
supply of natives and lower mar
ket on lambs. In the former letter
we predicted that lambs would sell
lower and sheep higher, and, at least,
our prediction has been verified.
Sheep have advanced so to 75c and
lambs show about that much decline.
This decline should not discourage
owners of native lambs and, in our
opinion, they ought to sell them even
at the break, as prices are pretty
high yet; in fact, extraordinarily so
when we take into consideration their
quality. Ninety per cent of the native
lambs that come to this market, as
rule, are pretty bucky, uneven in size,
uneven in flesh and not at all de-
sirable, although, we are glad to say,
that this years native crop of lambs
shows good improvement, but attrib-
ute this to the fact that they have had
more grass than usual and that ma
ture and not the owners did more for
lambs than previously. The owners
did not take any more care of them
than they ever did. This is ser
ious question, as choice lambs are
wanted, and when we stop and think
that shipments of lambs have to come
all the way from Idaho and Wash
ington, and throughout the western
territory for use here, it looks cidic-
ulous and it seems it were time for
the farmers to wake up. They
might just as well be getting top
prices for rs per cent of their lambs
at least instead of the returns they CO
get. We believe this has been drum
med into them for years, but it don't
seem to do any good. They seem to
take less care of sheep than any other
stock on the farm. While they are
sure to give an old sow and pigs
plenty to eat, they are just as apt to
starve eve and lamb.
There has been only a moderate
run of westerns here this week but the
A supply consisted more of lambs than
at any time this season. Of course
they have declined a little but only
about half as much as native lambs.
This is because they were of better
quality than the natives, as stated
above.
We sold 1000 very choice lambs
here Monday, belonging to H. STAN
ley Coffin of North Yakima, Wash,
at $500 per hundred. This is the
highest range lambs ever sold here
on this market. Since then the top
has gone down to lie. This is the
extreme limit of the lamb market to-
day and even this sale is a little
higher than lambs are quotable at
the present time. We hardly think
they would have brought over 1-4c
any time after II o'clock today.
The demand for sheep has in
creased and the market on them is
SO to zoe higher. Conditions are ex-
actly the reverse of what they have
been the past week. Everybody
