WOOL MARKET
STILL DEPRESSED

Although the general wool market is
in rather depressed condition, Nevada
woods are still quoted at around lac
and 15c, although indications are that
these prices will not be maintained for
any great length of time. The higher
price mentioned has only been paid for
the best quality. Should the Insur-
gents and Democrats succeed in car
rying the next congress at the Novem-
ber elections, wool will undoubtedly
drop off to SC or 10c Immediately.
Several clips of southern Oregon
wool are headed for Winnemucea. Yes
terdav Joe Garcia arrived with load
fom the Stein mountain country, which
he unloaded on the Southern Pacific
station platform, where he had stor-
ed the load he brought in about a
month ago. Mr.. Garcia is expected to
arrive in town tomorrow, when he will
no doubt be in the market to dispose
of the 10000 pounds he now has at the
station.

LESSONS TAUGHT BY
RECENT FOREST FIRES

Especial to the Silver State.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-One of
the lessons which will finally be drawn
from the trying experience of the pres
ent forest fire season, in the belief of
officials of the U. S. department of ag-
riculture, is the need of wider organi-
alton among private owners of timber
to safeguard their holdings.
1t is pointed out that already in the
northwest, both on the Pacific coast
and in Montana and Idaho, timberland
owners have formed themselves into
associations which assess the members
on an average basis and thus meet the
cost of maintaining a regular patrol
and fire fighting organization. Only
by getting together can private own,
ers usually assure themselves protec-
ton, for fire is no respeetor of boun-
dary lines and the man who undertakes
to keep it out of his own timber will
want it kept out of his neighbor IS
too. Wherever possible the govern
ment's forest officers cooperate with
the force put in the field by the asso-
citation, so that the employees of the
government and those of the private
owners are handled practically as a
unit In fghting the common enemy.
This cooperation is advantageous to
both sides. Protection of the national
forests necessarily carries with it a
good deal of protection of adjoining or
interior holdings If the private own
ers would everywhere shoulder their
reasonable share of the burden, the
public would gain both through more
general forest conservation and through
relief from the necessity of paying for
the protection of private timber in or
der to protect its own.
