SHEEP SHEARING DELAYED
BY THE COLD WEATHER

Reports from the various sheep
shearing corrals are to the effect that
shearing has been delayed considera-
bly, on account of the cold weather.
There are plenty of shearers on hand
this season--many more than usual.
it is said-but the fiockmasters are
slow about delivering their sheep for
fear of losing too many after shear
ing should there come an especially
cold spell.
At Fairfield, where many sheep are
listed for shearing, it was reported
yesterday that they are not being
delivered at the corral fast enough
to keep the shearers busy.
Shearing began yesterday at Jeri-
co, Modena, Black Rock and Milford.
with plenty of sheep on hand at each
of those places, and the accommoda-
tions at each are said to be mp@h bet
ter than in previous seasons.
Wool loading has just commenced.
The first shipments left Fairfield Sat
urday for the b. Harris Wool Com
pany in st. Louis, and other ship
ments east are due to start tomorrow
from other Utah points. Mr.. Harris
arrived yesterday in the city and was
very much pleased, he said, with the
Utah wool crop, what he had seen
of it so far this year. He will prob
ably visit some of the shearing camps
here and will also go to Idaho, where
his firm has contracted for many
pounds of wool.
William Austin yesterday received
word from Garland that the fiocks of
the Austin & Sons Live Stock Com
pany had been clipped and that the
wool is of very fine grade. This wool
is to be loaded on Thursday and will
start east at once. The greater por-
tion of it will go to the Chicago ware
house.
Now, if you make that statement
in the paper" said Mr.. Austin, there
are some who Will say it is lie, but
it isn't. 1t has been reported that
my wool was all sold on contract. III
admit that all this wool isn't going
to the warehouse. Some of it was
sold on contract in advance and at
very good prices. but the greater por-
tion of it is going to Chicago.-Salt

Salida. April After having the
case under advisement for two days,
the coroner's jury brought in ver-
dict yesterday that Miss May Harris
of Ridgway came to her death by an
attempted criminal abortion by per-
sons unknown to the jury. The

beth Harris and came to Salida a
week ago. She expired suddenly in

day afternoon, only few minutes

jury was empaneled and has had the

HOME INTERESTS FIRST.
Especial to The sentinel. ]

Washington, April THAT the
democratic senators who have local
interests which might be injuriously
affected by a reduction of the tariff
on them will not feel called upon to
allow the declarations of the Denver
platform to stand in the way of their
opposing such reductions. is made
evident by a letter which Senator
Simmons of North Carolina has writ
ten on the subject of the tariff on
lumber. He takes the position that
the democratic pledge of a tariff
revenue only was made with refer
ence to the whole tariff system, and,
therefore, it does not apply to any
individual article.
Did the democrats, he asks,
mean to promise free lumber with
out any regard to the character of the
general measure of which it was to
be n part of the discrimination that
would result if that measure covered
with highly protective or prohibitive
duties on the same articles in the
same general classification
He answers his own question in
the negative. and says that TO give
the declaration that construction
would be holding to the letter of that
promise while disregarding its
spirit"
He then declares that the tariff
for lumber is already low, as COM
pared with the duty on other build
ing materials, such as steel, iron and
cement, and adds:
IF we are to have tariff for pro-
lection, it would seem unjust to pro-
tect one industry and not another.
or to protect the industries of one
section of the country and not those
of another
He declares. however. that even
the present duty of 50 on lumber is
on the revenue basis. and he promises
to do all that he can to maintain the
rate.

DOG TEAM RACE IN ALASKA.
Especial to The Sentinel. ]


Seattle, April Tn the most
gruelling race of dog teams Alaska
has ever known the plucky Mala-
mutes, owned by Al Berger, carried
off first and second honors in the all
Alaska sweepstakes for $1,000 yes
terday, and annexed in addition the
Suter gold cup The race was from
Nome to Candle, 412 miles. and
much of it was run under conditions
that put the animals to bitter test
of strength and endurance.
The racers were sent away on their
exciting contest last Tuesday. Since
that time business at Nome has been
practically at staudstill. The focal
points for the townspeople were at
the stands of the bookmakers. At
these thousands of dollars were wag-
cred on the result. the biggest single
bet having been placed on Siberian
team. A pool Of an even 100000
was put up that these animals would
win. One wager Of $4,000 was
made that the race would not be fin
ished within 90 hours. This bet
was lost, the time of the winners
being 50 hours and 10 minutes.
Probably 100000 changed hands,
All Nome watched the start of the
race. The dogs got away in a blind
ing snowstorm. Thermometers We're
registering 10 degrees below zero.
The Berger Malamutes No. 1 and
No. ? teams. driven by Scotty Allen
| and Percy Blatchford. respectiy ely,

mixed team of hounds and bird dogs
driven by George Fink came in third.
The Siberian dogs. which were the
favorites and heavily backed. be
came snowbound and fell out of the
race. Their driver was forced to
turn back The fate of the other
starters is still unknown. Teams are
struggling back TO Nome, some of
them in pitiful condition.
