WAREHOUSE PLAN WORKS OUT.

The sale of wool is now in an open
market, and consequently the product
is handled as any other commodity.
Heretofore there really was no market
the sheepmen had to sell at the
price offered by the Boston buyers. He
had no choice in the matter. The
organization of the Chicago ware
house company has changed all this,
and the sheepman is placed in a po-
sition to know the real value of his
product, something he has never
known before. The activity of the
buyers for the Boston market is mani
fest on every hand, and the high price
of wool is traceable directly to the
Chicago warehouse plan. A Compel
ing market is the result of the organi-
cation of the company. The first ben
etits derived are those derived by the
wool growers. In the disposition of
their wool this year, the growers
should remember that to their own

WEIsER HOSPITALITY y

For attention, thoughtfulness and
hospitality to the stranger within her
gates, the beautiful and thriving city
of Weiser, is surpassed by none. This
was exemplified at the meeting of the
recent Oregon-Idaho Development
congress just held at that place. The
guests were SO numerous as to ser
1ously tax the resources of a much
larger city, but Weiser provided for
all. She provided, and provided intel
ligently, comfortably, even luxuriant-
ly. There was no one who attended
the congress, who was not impressed
with the fact that he was thrice well
come Every citizen of the town
seemed to think that the success of
the congress depended upon his in
dlVldual effort to please the visitor.
Even the bootblacks felt a personal
responsibility for the comfort of his
guests. 1t was remarkable illus
tration of 1000 individuals working in
harmony and concert for the welfare
of all. There was not a hitch any
where. The congress transacted it's
business expediently; the entertain
ments were certain, prompt and en-
joyable. There was no scramble.
Everything moved rapidly, but noise
lessly and smoothly. The committees
had prepared everything before
hand. II there are wheels in Weiser
they work on ball bearings and had
been well oiled before the convention
of the congress. Even old Dame Ma
ture entered with best spirit into
the occasion, and provided two of the
most beautiful days of the year. The
committee on arrangements, consist
ing of Col. Heigho, Mayor Numbers,
and Mr.. e. H. Gayley, are entitled to
commentator for the good work they
accomplished. But, what's the use?
Everybody did the right thing at the
right time. The banquet was one OF
the greatest undertakings of the con-
gress, and 1t was one of the most sue
eessful accomplishments. The ladies
OF Weiser certainly handled that feat
ure in Surprisingly, surpassing man
ner. The trip to Evergreen was we'll
appointed, most enjoyable, and the
best thing of the congress, in that 1t
really did more to open the eyes of
the people than anything else. But
the whole congress was a success.
Weiser is to be congratulated. She
said that she would do things and she
done them. We are convinced that
there is not another city in Idaho that
could rise to the occasion like weiser
did

DIGEST 0F THE LAWS.

The Tribune publishes this week a
digest of the laws passed at the last
session of the Idaho legislature. The

plement valuable for present reading
and future reference. The people are
thus enabled to know exactly the mean

Guiding knives, pistols, scimetars and

A party of sixty American tourists
who were in the city were escorted in
safety by a detachment of troops to
steamer in the harbor.
Ambassador Leishman sent the six
ty American tourists to a steamer
about to leave Constantinople under
the protection of guard of soldiers

ant. The ambassador then visited the
leading hotels where Americans are
stopping to reassure them that their
part of the city was secure and that
they were in no danger.
The American tourists sailed late
for Naples. In addition to the guard
they were accompanied by a member
of the embassy staff. Among them are
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard H. Fyfe, Of De-

warehouse is due the credit for the
marked advance in the price of wool
They should give their own company
whatever advantage they can. To in
terest capital and to assure the sue
cess of the venture, a certain amount
of business had to be guaranteed by
the sheep owners. Those who signed
up are of course obligated to ship to
Chicago; but those who did not sign
up at all, or only guaranteed a portion
of their crop, are equal beneficiaries,
and should feel disposed to help the
Chicago people. Not only for this year,
but for years to come, the sheepman is
guaranteed the actual market value of
his wool In other words, the price of
wool will not fluctuate with the whims
of coterie of Boston buyers. The
law of supply and demand will regu-
late the price. This will place the
business on a much firmer basis, and
a general prosperity may be expected
among the wool growers. The erratic
fluctuations in the price of wool dur
ing the past has been a serious factor
in this industry. With the change to
a more solid basis greater prosperity
is assured. Wool growers should re-
that. In building up a COM
petitive market they are laying the
for years of prosperity.
Thus far the Chicago warehouse
scheme has been a success.

CHANGED SENTIMENT.

About every person in the world is
pretty good fellow, only know him.
The trouble is that we spend about
half our lives before we get acquaint-
ed with each other. The men we hate
the most are usually those we know
the least about. We ascribe pride
and arrogance to those who are az
ficted with timidity and difidence,
and hatred to those of indifference
This was forcefully brought to mind

UNIQUE SPORTING EVENT.
Western Athletes Will Race to the Top
of a 5000 Foot Mountain.


Pasadena, Cal, April 15.-Crack attn
letes from all over the west are en-
tered in todays race to the top Of
Mount Wilson, north of this city. The
unique character of the event and its
great success last year have aroused
much interest among the sports and
others attracted by endurance contests
and have drawn here runners desir-
Gus of making the 6,000 foot ascent in
quicker time than that made by Joe
King last year. There is little doubt
that Kings record, hour 25 minutes
80 seconds, will be broken today.
Last years race consisted Of the
ascent to the top of the mountain and
the descent, but this year the ascent
alone will count. The descent is con-
sidered too dangerous for men trying
to make time. On the way up and
down Mount Wilson the runners cross
numerous streams and wind around
canyons over 5000 feet deep.
At least thirty men will face the
starter and will be sent away at in
tervals of three minutes. Only anna
teur athletes are eligible to enter the
race. The winners will receive med
ais.
