pocatello, Ida, Jan. 14.-More than
. thousand sheepmen from all parts OF
the country are here today in attend
ance upon the annual convention of the
National Woolgrowers' association,
which opened today for three day. $
session.
The convention is the most import
ant ever held by the national associa-
top, as final settlement will be made
of the question Of establishing a great
central wool market at Chicago, the
nledging of sufficient tonnage of
wool by western growers to insure the
success of the movement, the discus
sion of the forest reserve problem,
and other matters vital to the sheep
industry are scheduled.
Headquarters have been established
at the Y. N. c.. A. building. This
forenoon was devoted to the mid
winter sheep show, annually held in
connection with the national conven-
tion. Over six hundred sheep entered.
The city is decorated.
Salt Lake, Ogden and st. Joseph
are in the field for 1910 convention.
Ogden is being represented by a big
delegation Of boosters.
A special train, earring two hundred
members of the Idaho Woolgrowers
association, arrived jnst before noon
from Boise. In the party were about
half Of the members of the state legis-
lature, headed by Governor Brady.
The remainder Of the legislature ar
rived tonight, adjournment having
been taken for three days.
The annual address Of President F.
W. Gooding to the convention follows !:
"A reduction in the tariff schedules
on wool at this time would produce
the same result as the placing Of wool
on the free list under the Wilson bill.
1t would undoubtedly ruin one of the
most important industries Of the Uni
ted States.
Zone dollar and eighty CENTS" he
declared, ''is the full cost Of all the
wool necessary to manufacture such a
suit as the people of the United States
are now paying 500 to $50 for. If the
wool in such a suit was given free to
manufacturers, under present condi-
tlons, the price of an all-wool suit of
clothes would be affected but little.
The manufacturer of the cloth, the
tailor, the transportation companies,
the wholesale and retail merchants,
each and all get percentage before
the suit reaches the consumer and the
producer Of the raw wool makes the
least profit of all. =

The Moons influence.
From the Columbus Journal.

From the Columbus Journal.
We heard a man complaining that his
tomatoes were doing poorly this year
that he must have planted them in utter
disregard Of the location Of the moon,
and yet, the moon passed over them
every day. and whatever influence the
tomatoes were subject to from the moon,
they got. OF course, our friends faith
Is in the light or dark of the moon, we
do not know which, nor does he, and yet,
the light of the moon is nearly always
with u.s. We often see it the NOSE of a
forenoon or afternoon, and though its
light is dim, its soft rays are just as good
for tomatoes as those of the full-blown
orb at midnight.
Concerning the influence of the moon
on vegetation, Prof. Moore of the wealth
er bureau said only recently-the latest
on the important subject-that 1t had
about as much influence on plant life as
it has on the price of stocks in Wall
street or the output of diamond mines in
Africa. That ought to settle the ques-
ton. But what is the use of settling it ?
We think it is the lovely vagary for a
person to believe that the silvery moon,
the home of endless fancies and lovers
thoughts, fills the ears of corns with
sweetness and covers the tomatoes with
bushes. When an innocent deception
lends charm to life, why not? There

JAPANESE LANGUAGE HARD.
Student Required to Wade Through
Maze Of Ideographs.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
Army officers who are thinking of TAX
ing up the study Of Japanese should
pause before they attempt the task and
ask themselves whether they have a Pc
culiarly strong linguistic aptitude. Even
the Japanese find the language very diff
cult. Anglo-Saxons who growl about the
difficulties of our spelling and favor the
simplified system would never live 4. they
had to undergo what the subject of the
mikado suffers in the matter of language
1t takes a Japanese child seven years
to learn the essential parts of the alpha
bet. One must be familiar with pa
signs. which serve the same purpose as
initial letters in English dictionaries.
Then. after one has tracked down. in one
of these PA signs. some part of the char
search, he still has a veritable darkest
Africa ahead of him. The pompous first
personal pronoun Is avoided whenever ii
is possible in speaking Japanese. If it
must be used it is introduced casually,
but generally the abstract noun selfish
ness serves in it's stead.
For example, Japanese would not
say, II don't drink wine,' but wine
don't drink me-; or, If this is not clear
enough. "Selfishness wine don't drink. -
Reference to ones possessions must be
deprecatory. Thus. if a man wishes to
point out his own residence, he says,
THAT miserable house" which. Of course.
could refer to no other than his own.
On the other hand. THAT beautiful
house" would easily identify the house
as belonging to some one else. Moreover,
any one who wishes to learn Japanese
must be prepared to learn two languages
the written and the spoken. The one
differs so materially from the other that
II Japanese is reading q book or news
paper and wishes to do SO aloud. it be-
comes necessary for him to translate the
written words into the colloquial. To be
able to read any of the higher class
Japanese newspapers 1t Is necessary to
master at least from 2,5rv to 5000 ideo-
graphs.

The Royal Assent.

From London Tit Bits
lie roy lie veault'' the kings wills iO is
the form of words in which the English
king is accustomed to signify his royal as
sent to a bill which has passed both
houses OF parliament and is ready to be
made statute law.
They are. however. not the only form OF
old Norman French words which has sur
vived and is still in usage in our parlia-
mentary system. Thus. for instance. when
bill is sent up for consideration from
the commons to the lords, it is Endorsed
by the clerk with the words. Soft bail,e
aux seigneurs'' Qet it be sent to the lordsl.
and when the converse operation takes
place the corresponding words are, Soft
baille aux commons"
The royal assent to money bills is more
deliberately expressed: LIE roy remercie
ses bons sujets. accepte leur benevolence.
ct ansi lie veault' (the king thanks his
loyal subjects. accepts their gift and so
Wills it,. For private bills still another
form of assent is used: Soft fait CONNIE

WAS BOGUS
Frank Christian, Known as Fred
Clark, Passes Worthless Check
for $7.75.
IS PLACED UNDER ARREST
Claimed LandIady Had Given it to Hin
to Pay Insurance Premium-Case
Set for Jan. 80.

Fred Clark, known also as Frank
Christian, and who claims his real
name is Frank Christian, was arrested
late yesterday afternoon by Chief Eek
hart of the police department, on a
charge of passing a bogus check for
S775. The complaint was made by S.
A. Torrey. agent of the Metropolitan
Clark gave him the check, stating that
Mrs. Mertz, residing in the Rooster
flats, had given it to him to pay an in
surance premium. Mr.. Torrey became
suspicious of the paper, and excusins
himself from Clark, telephoned to the
First National bank of Davenport. on
which it was issued, and learned that
there were no funds to the credit Of
the man whose signature was given on
the check. The police were then mott
fed
Had Paid In Cash.
Mrs. Mertz, at whose home he room
ed, stated that she had given Clark,
who was known to her as Frank Chris
tian, $3.50 in cash to pay the premium
and had not had any such check as the
one involved. Clark said the check
had been given her in payment of a
debt by some one in Davenport.
The check was made out as follows:
| PAY to the order of bearer $775." and
purported to be signed by Olan A.
Johnson. 1t was numbered 7S4.
Clark was arraigned this morning
before Magistrate Elliott, and the
hearing was continued for 10 days

AWKWARD BRAKEWHEEL
LETS A CAR GET AWAY
Accident on Long View Line Averted
Through Pluck of the
Motorman.

Another narrow escape from disaster
due to those cumbersome brake wheels
that require both hands and one foot
and all the strength motorman can
muster, to operate, besides taking the
room of three passengers, occurred on
Twentieth street hill last evening
when car $50 of the Long View line
got away on the Shiny rail and started
ON a mad dash from the top to the
foot of the hill. Owing to the awk-
wardness of the mechanism the mo-
toFman was unable to promptly re-
lease the brake and at the same time
handle the reverse lever by which the
motor is operated, and the wheels thus
set simply formed skid which slid
down the track like sled on an icy
slope. The motorman, however, stuck
bravely to his task and finally sue
ceeded in releasing the brake and
throwing the reverse lever.
Thus the car was brought to a
stop with the wheels fattened, but an
accident averted. There was almost
la panic on board, nevertheless. and il
looked for an instant as if the cal
might dash off the curve at Eleventh
lavenue and either capsize or continue
| it's flight down Twentieth street.
The company will probably continue
ITO neglect the duty that is every day
apparent of replacing the present make
shift manipulation of brakes on the
smaller cars until something happens
| And then it will wake up.

VALUABLE ADVICE
GIVEN THE GLASS
John w. WEIGH Talks to Salesmanship
Students, and Gizes Observations
from his Long Experience.

The craftsmanship class of the Y. Nj.
c. A. were given very interesting
and instructive lecture last night
by John w. WEIGH, on How to Sell
Groceries" Mr. WEIGH has had 25
years experience as travelling sales
man and % years experience as buyer.
hence he is thoroughly acquainted with
his subject When he first began 10
travel on the road, it had TO be done
mostly by wagon and deliveries were
made in the same way. Now, there are
out well equipped and furnished trains
which makes travelling a delight. In
speaking of selling goods, he said it is
good deal like the fellow who was
telling how to skin a rabbit. He gave
as the first requisite, the catching uf
| the rabbit. And, so in craftsmanship,
the first thing to catch is the customer.
Mr.. WEIGH says the salesman is in the
position of a broker and that sale is
not made, according to law, until the
house has filled the order He claims
the salesman is just as near to the
customer as he is to the house, and
no nearer He advised the class not to
get into the state of mind of knowing
it all, in craftsmanship Such men
would become offensive to the trade;
the salesman should be on a level in
every way with the customer. He
pointed out the necessity of honesty
and fidelity, and urged statesmen not
| to sell the customer something he
could not use nor to overload him with
anything, but to take conscientious
care of him, always having his inter
est at heart. Never become too fam
iliar with the trade, but always be re
spectful and deferential Study hu.
man nature and try and deal with neil
according to their different peculiari
ties" he said. 1.-THE worst reputation
a house can have, is to sell cheaper
than any one else, for cheap house
generally implies cheap quality. Be
careful not to become merely an order
taker," was urged by Mr.. WEIGH
Study your cash book; keep in mind
the new goods and seasonable goods
and be ever on the alert to sell them
Finally, the success of any one viii
depend on his character, ability, per
sonality, ambition and work.

will lecture next Tuesday night. The
lectures are open TO any who are in
