Wool Growers Meet January q

Portland, Ore, Dec. 20. When the
annual convention of the National
Wool Growers Association opens in
Portland January 4, it will be the
biggest and most important gather
ing OF sheep ralSerS in America for
years. Questions Of vital Importance
TO the sheep industry are TO be con-
,idered and the future policy of the
wool interests are TO be Out lined.
According to those high in the
councils OF the organization, little
slppOrt fer the wool men may be eX-
pecled either from President Taft or
the next congress. Both, it seems,
are determined to lead Schedule X TO
the slaughter in revising lie tariff
bill. The friends Of the threatened
schedule would leave he subject to
J the tariff board, but it is said Presi-
dent Taft Ieels that the public eX-
pecls further tinkering with the rates
on wool and woolens and lie is deter
mined to accede to their demands.
1t is felt by the wool men 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 ana the
| lnuckraker IN the sensational inaga-
| zines.
Schedule r. said ID. o. Lively,
chairman Of The general arrange
ments committee, Twill be the meat
of the cocOanuL as far as the convel-
zion is concerned. 1T is the life of
the wool trade and when it is threat"
ened the existence of the wool indus
tr, is in danger. Woolgrowers all
| over the country are alarmed at The
rapid advancement Of The SEM iment
for a change IN the WOOL Schedules Of
the tariff.
The program, as now outlined, in
cludes many speakers of national
prominence, who will speak on tariff
matters and other subjects of vital
| importance to the wool industry.
A great sheep and goat show will
be held in connection with the
National convention, which meets
at the Armory, and prize ami
he on exhibition. Breeders and wool
men are taking unusual interest in
the approaching session and they will
attend in very large numbers, it be-
ing expected that no less than 5000
people directly interested i'm the sheep
business will be in Portland during
the four days Of the convention.

The CHIPPEWA
INDIANS RETURN
Portion Of Rocky Boys Band Pre-
fers Garbage Barrels to Gov
ernment RationS.

Charging that the government
broke it's word to furnish them with
rations until they were allotted land
on the blackfeeJ Indian reservation,
$50 Chippewa Indians have come to
Helena and are now encamped on the
outskirts of the city, where they ex-
pect TO remain until spring. Rocky
Boy, the original chief of the tribe,
has rem aimed on the reservation with
about 50 followers, the detection be-
ing led by Pennetto, who claims to be
a brother of Rocky Boy.
Two years ago the Chippewas were
encamped near Helena, and when as
sistance was rendered them, were in a
starving condition. An agitation on
their behalf was started which re-
suited in an order being issued for the
commandant at Fort Harrison to sup
DIV them with ra,ions. The following
spring they were taken to the Black
feet reservation.
Last September, after a big pow
WOW, the majority of the hand left
the reservation, tired of waiting for
the rations that had long been prom
ised. Little Boar's band of Crees, old
time companions in misery OF the
Chippewas, who had been campeu
near the reservation boundary, also
pulled up and went to Havre, while
the Chippewas continued to Helena.
Officials from the Blackfeet reset
yation here before the grand jury,
have tried to induce the ChippeWas
to return, but they persistently re-
fuse. The officials say that rations
for the tribe are probably at the re-
servation now, the department hav-
ing authorized their issuance some.

Some Good Things That Are
Being Heard Along the Avenues

Good things are being heard along
the business streets these days
One of these is that more modern
business blocks are to be erected on
both Second and Third avenues. Rock
Island has made fine strides on both
these streets in the past few years in
the matter of new and up-to-date build
ings.
There are TO be more this season, so
the story goes.
Another of the good things that are
being heard is that a movement has
been started among Second avenue
business men to give every aid that
may be necessary to remove any OBJ
struction that may arise to the speedy
adjustment of all questions that may
stand in the way of the Rock Island
Pillow company making the expansion
that it seeks. AS is known, the Rock
Island council stands ready to grant
by practically unanimous vote, if not
by unanimous vote, the ordinance that

the company desires passed for the va
cation of streets in the west end in
order that it may have the proper OPP
pOrtunities for growth. The company
has but to renew its application to
have the rights it seeks. The business
mems interest in the subject concerns
any other obstacle that may arise
The move is public spirited one that
deserves COmmendation.
Another of the good things that is
being whispered is that the Tri-City
Railway company is liable to be in a
position to give more hearty consider
alton to the interurban proposition
than was at first supposed by some
With this prospect and the present
outlook of having the Rock Island
Southern electric passenger coaches
rolling through the streets by mid
summer, the outlook is indeed rosy.
All these things ought to stimulate

Business Man, Unable to
Bear Worries.
ALL PROPERTY MORTGAGED
Gives No Hint of His Death Plans,
Attacking Helpmate in His
Room Then Suicides.

Financial worries and domestic dis
cord drove Charles B. Gundberg,
proprietor of a bakery in Moline, to
attempt murder and suicide at his
home, SIP Fourth avenue, in that
city, at $3.50 last evening. Suppos-
ing he had fatally shot his wife,
Gundberg turned his revolver upon
himself as he stood before mirror
to make sure of his aim. The bull
let penetrated his brain. Mrs. Gund-
berg escaped with a flesh wound in
the right forearm.
Gundberg's bakery adjoins his
of Moline 10 years. While an ex-
cellent baker, having been regarded
as one of the best in the tri-cities,
he was not a success in a business
way. At any rate, his property was
mortgaged for $4,000, and it kept
him busy earning a living for his
family and meeting his interest OBJ
legations. An added cause for men
tai distress was the discovery that
the oven of his establishment was
in such bad repair that it would
have to be rebuilt practically. This
would cast $1,4OO. Gundberg wa:
working hard to make ends meet,
and he would scold his wife for heI
expenditures.
Gives No Warning.
When he returned to the home last
evening he inquired of his wife what
she had done with So he had giver
her the day previous. She explained
that she had used the money to pur-
chase two pairs of trousers, one for
her husband and the other for one
of the men employed in the bakery.
Gundberg, according to his wife, was
in an uncommunicative mood, and
he went to his room on the second
floor. She followed him, carryin.

the bed. Suddenly she noticed her
