Portland. Ore, Dec. 90. (Special D..
When the annual convention of the
National Wool Growers Association
opens in Portland January a. it viii
be the biggest ana most important
gathering Of sheep raisers in Amer
lea for years. Questions Of vital i'm
portance to the sheep industry are
to be considered and the future poll
icy Of the wool interests are to be
outlined
According to those high in the
councils Of the organization, little
support for the woolmen may be ex-
pected either from President Taft or
the next Congress. Both. it seems, are
determined to lead Schedule X to the
slaughter in revising the tariff bill
The friends of the threatened schel-
ule would leave the subject to the
Tariff Board, but it is said President
Taft feels that the public expects
further tinkering with the rates on
wool and woolens ana he is deter
mined to accele to their demands.
It is felt by the woolenmen that
their side Of the case has never been
presented to the public fairly, while
on the other hand they charge the
agitation which has arisen against
them to the mudslinger and the
muckraker in the sensational maya
zines.
Schedule K" said d. o. Lively
chairman of the general arrangement
committee, will be the meat of the
cocoanut as far as the convention
is concerned. 1t is the life of the
wool trade and when it is threaten

over the country are alarmed the

for a change in the wool schedules Of

The program, as now outlined, in-
cludes many speakers of national
prominence who viii speak on tar

A great sheep and goat show will
be held in connection with the con-

erintendent OF Nez Perez county, and

MISS Mccoy is known and recog-
nized in every section Of Idaho as
an able educator and as one thorough
ly acquainted with school conditions
as they exist in the public school
system of the state. She is a grad
uate of the Lewiston Normal, class
of 1898. For four years she taught
in the public schools, part Of the
time in Lewiston. In 1902 she was
elected county superintendent of Nez
Perez county and was twice re-elect-
ed, serving three terms. She then
became d member of the Normal fac
ulty as grammar grade critic and
supervisor Last year sne ala speclal

Miss McCoy's twelve years ex-
perience in the public school system
in Idaho will prove most valuable to
her in her new work. No one is in
closer touch with the situation than
is Miss Mccoy While she was county
superintendent she became speedily
recognized throughout the state as
one of the ablest superintendent.
Her appointment by Miss Shepherd
will undoubtedly meet with hearty
commentator in every section Of
Idaho.
