to be parallel, as in cotton or linen. Wooden
yarns, although hard-spun look and feel light
and fluffy Worsted yarns appear finer and
stronger.
The weaving of the two kinds of cloth is
not unlike. at least not to the unskilled OBJ
server, except In one particular, and this Is a
most important one-woolens are fulled and
worsteds are not. The fulling of the cloth, &C.
complished by heat, moisture and pressure,
brings together and interlocks, by means of the
tmbrication of the fiber, the several threads
entering into the cloth into more or less
felted whole. The cloth shrinks, sometimes as
much as one-half, and in such material, as for
instance the socalled doeskins and broadcloths,
it appears and feels like felt.
1t is this process of semifelting the cloth,
made possible by the peculiar lie of the fibers
in the yarn, that distinguishes woolens from
worsteds. Formerly, entirely different classes
of wool were used in the two cloths-for WOOL
ems, the short-staple, highly imbricated carding
wool, merino for example; and for the worsteds
the long-staple, slightly intoxicated or smooth
combing woods. By modern machinery 1t is
possible now to use the short-staple woods in
making worsteds.
In practise the raw wool, after being washed
and secured, is subjected to series of comb
ing processes. in each Of which the particular
fibers suitable for certain purpose are ex-
called waste, although it's value per pound
may have been augmented by the extraction of
the lower-priced fibers.
According to United States census reports,
manufactures Of wool rank tenth in the list Of
American industries The total capital invested
was $310,179,749 and with an output valued at
$296,990.4S4 year. In the classification
adopted the manufacture of clothing Is not in
cluded. Since 1900 there has been an enor-
nous increase in the wool manufacturing in
dustry, principally In the manufacture of
worsteds. At the same census the number of
sheep in the United States was 39,S52,967. Since
then there has been 43 per cent. increase in
the number of sheep, as appears by a report
issued by the census Office on January /, 1910,
which shows 57,216,O0O sheep in the country at
the present time. These are valued at an av-
erage Of $4.0S, giving a total value of $233,644,-
000 By the census of 1900 the country pro-
duces 276567 ,5S4 pounds of sleeps wool and
961,32S pounds of mohair and goat hair. Esti-
mating the same average clip of wool as at that
time. the production Of the country at the pres
ent should be about 100000 900 pounds of wool
In reality 1t should be greater, on account Of
the Improvement in sheep breeding.
There are several hundred varieties of
sheep both in the domestic and in the wild
breeds The former have been under the do

and not the geological classification of the ami.
NAL which determines whether the fiber Is
wool, hair, or fur. Since the classification is
commercial snd not scientific the line between
these three classes is necessarily vague and
indistinct. For instance, the under covering
of the camel may be camel's wool or cameps
hair, and so we have alpaca hair or alpaca
wool. From the sheep there are many varieties
of wool, long and short, straight and curly,
coarse and fine, and, what is generally more
important than any of these, varieties in the
serrations Or imbrications appearing on the
surface of the fbers.
It is important in considering wool as a
commercial commodity to keep in mind the
three different kinds Of cloth made therefrom.
These are commercially known IN English as
felts, woolens, and worsteds The processes in
making these three kinds of cloth are so diff
ferent as to make them entirely different in
dustries, employing entirely different machin-

worsteds are spun from threads, but the
threads in the two kinds of cloth are prepared
in a different manner, and the weaving is en-
tirely unlike Formerly, entirely different
kinds of woods were used for making
the two kinds of cloths, or rather it is more
accurate to say that only certain kinds of
woods could be used in making worsteds AL
most any kind of wool could be used for ma
king woolens, although some were much more
suitable than others, and, as rule, those least
suitable for woolens were best suitable for
worsteds. In effect, therefore, certain woods
were used for woolens and certain other woods
for worsteds. With the improved modern ma
chinery used In worsted mills these limitations
are fading away, SO that worsteds can now be
made from woods formerly not used for this
purpose.
The wool used for making woolens Is card
ed: that for worsteds Is combed The effect of
these two processes Is that in the first the wool
fbers are crossed and interlocked as much
possible, and in the second they are drawn out

breeds. The long-wool breeds are
the Leicester, Border Leicester,
Cotswold, Lincoln, Kentish, Devon
Longwool, South Devon, Wensley-
dale, and Roscommon.
The short-wool breeds--this class
includes among others the famous
mutton breeds-are the Oxford
Down, southdown, Shropshire.
Hampshire Down, Suffolk, Ryeland,
Somerset, and Dorset Horned.
The mountain breeds are the
Cheviot, Blackfaced Mountain,
Herdwick, Lonk, Dartmoor, Ex-
moor, Welsh Mountain, and Lime
stone.
All of these breeds are English
except the Border Leicester, Chew
OF, and Blackfaced, which are
Scotch, the Welsh which belongs to
Wales, and the Roscommon to Ire
land.
The Leicester from an historical
standpoint is the most important OF
the long-wool English sheep, and 1t
was the great reputation OF the
wool of this breed that gave Eng
land in the past its prominent po-
sition as a wool-producing coun-
try. Most important of all, 1t is the
Leicester blood which is the foun-
dation of many Of the other best
English breeds and as such has ex'
tended itself over all the world.
The wool is fine, white, and long
stapled.
The Lincoln Is the largest and
heaviest fleeced sheep. Many OF
the f1eeces will weigh from IL to 20
pounds, with staple 20 inches in
length. The Lincoln resembles the
Cotswold, but has less-pronounced
tuft on the forehead and the wool
is closer curled.
The wool of these sheep has
fine glistening appearance which
has earned for it the name of "lus-
ter wool"

Ideal Place for University.
After the banquet Mayor Rodgers.
who acted as toastmaster, delivered
a short address In which he dwelt
upon the growth of the university,
it's early struggles, and assured
those interested ia 1t Of the loyalty
of the people of Salem to the school.
After a brief talk he called upon
syeral citizens of the city for a FIVE
minute talk, and then upon the
guest of honor-S Senator Booth.
Senator Booth prefaced his ad
dress by dwelling briefly upon the
greatness OF the northwest, and pro-
nounced 1t "the bright star Of the
nation of today" He stated that he
did not desire to be over sanguine
or optimistic, but that as he saw it,
Oregon was today the greatest and
grandest state in the union"
From consideration of the state
at large he drifted to a discussion
of the Willamette valley. 'TUlt.

the soil for our wealth and the time
is coming when no city will be so
ideally situated as Salem" and then
he proceeded to show that whether
it was grains, or fruit, or timber or
any other resource, the people of the
Willamette had but to reach out for
them and they were within their
grasp.
From a consideration of the COM
mercial he turned to the Willamette
university, and he dwelt for a mo-
ment upon its early struggles and its
dark days, and stated that he hoped
that they were all of the past. "Af-
ter ALL" he said, "the learning Of
the truth, and the uplifting of hui
manity is the greatest thing of all,

voice quivering with emotion, and
seemingly searched for adequate
words in which to express his feel

The appreciation and honor shown
was apparent to all and as he arose
his voice quivered and he admitted
that an occasion like the one of
which he was the guest of honor was
not conducive to speech making.
His speech was hesitating at first, as
he was evidently searching for
words to convey his feelings and
thoughts, and seemingly unable to
find them he gave voice to the above
tribute and then thanked those pres
ent "a thousand, thousand times"
and while at the time he probably
little realized it, he after all paid the

were great things in store for the
school and emphasized upon those
present that the opportunity had
ccme for them to convert It into the
greatest school of learning in the

they would avail themselves of the
opportunity.
There were three factors, he said
which would enter into its upbuild-
