IDAHO WOOL CLIP
WILL BE SHORT

Boise, Idaho.-The 1911 wool clip
for Idaho will be less than a year ago
because there is this year a smaller
number of sheep ranged in the vari-
Gus sections of the state. This is the
opinion If L. a. Van Sicklin, president
OF the Idaho Wool Growers -associ-
alton, and Scott Anderson, secretary,
sam Ballantyne and Fred w. Good
ing, members of the executive COM
mittee who attended a conference of
growers at Salt Lake to discuss the
wool situation. Although admitting
the clip will be smaller this year they
look forward for higher prices for
the West, generally.
Wool dealers are buying Western
wool now at free trade prices" de-
clared Mr.. Ballantyne. prices are
down all ever the world. 1t is not the
fear of radical reductions by the pres
ent congress that has demoralized the
wool market, because no wool man
feels that a radical bill can get
through the senate during the present
session: but it is the agitation of the
subject hat keeps the market unset
tied. At the prevailing prices the
Idaho wool clip will bring to the
shecpmen of this state between $2,-
225,OOO and $2,50O,OOO this year on
an estimate of 100000 pounds
clipped.
The lamb crop was good this year
although the last severe storm willed
many lambs in some parts of the
state.
"The wool will be longer and clean
er this year. in fact there will be a
better grade in this state. The indi'
vidual clip will be heavier per sheer
and better"

raignment of frivolous domestic ex-
travagance teaches a lesson and a
moral that should be witnessed by
every theater-goer throughout the
land. The record of the play in New
York and the enormous business it
has attracted attests the popularity
of its vital argument. Before the
season is over there will be several
companies presenting 1.-THE Spend
thrift" but the organization which
will present It here employs a spe-
clally selected cast of players, each
one of which is said to be ideally
suited to the character he or she
portrays. The company includes
Doris Mitchell, who plays the spend
thrift's wife; Lionel Adams, who won
his spurs as an actor of the first rank
as John Storm" in "The Christian"
the title character in THE Man Of
the Hour" and several other import
| ant parts.
Albert sackett is another in a
class of the "best all-round actor"
! Gwendolyn Piers, the ingenue of the
! piece, has been identified with a
number of Broadway attractions and
! has had a widwe stock experience.
! Others in the cast are Matte Fergu-
son, William Sullivan, Alice Kelly
and Forrest E. Orr.
The scenes are laid in the home of
New York broker and admit of ar
tistic surrounding which has been ta-
ken full advantage of by Mr.. Thomp-
son. The period of the play is the
present and its timely theme-extrav-
agant living-strikes home to every
man and woman, old and young, rich
and poor alike.

The negroes of Fort Worth under

show of their own. Just why the white
girls employed to sell tickets for the
other shows objected is not explained
in the dispatches, but they did and the
result was a mob which wrecked the
negroes show and committed other
outrages, which appear to have been
wholly u%nprovoked. If the facts are
as they appear to be, the affair is a

We sincerely hope that the city
council will so administer the affairs
of the city as to give as general salts
faction as their immediate predeces-
sors. They will have heavier respon-
sibillties and will therefore need to
be more discreet and circumspect.
They will have considerable money to
use for the contemplated improve
ments and the people will want to
know that the city gets a dollars
worth for every dollar spent. If ev-
erything goes wei there will probably
be no agitation for a change in the
form OF the city government, but if
there should be dissatisfaction at any
time the people can invoke the recall
principle by %petitioning for an cleo
ton on the adoption Of the commission

THE MEN THAT ARE TO BE.

We don't know who is the author of
this soul stirring stanza. 1t is clipped
from an exchange that printed it in
the editorial column with quotation
marks. 1t should have a place in every
scrap book and every teacher should
use it as a memory gem:
Mourn not for the vanished ages,
With the great heroic men
Who dwelt in history's pages
And live in the poets pen;
For the grandest times are before us,
And the world is'yet to see
The noblest worth of this old world
In the men that are to be-"

Fire and Birthstone He'll Needed.

A mar in Kansas City recently
starved a team of horses to death be-
cause he saw he was going to lose
them on a mortgage. He figured that
he could get no more out of them, so
did not feed them any more. Folks
may preach the latter day doctrine Of
no hell but there just has to be a hell
to fit this case. No punishment bad
enough can be devised by man for
anyone who will deliberately starve a
poor dumb brute to death. The old fire
and birthstone hell alone is adequate.

Palestine and TYLER,

Judge McCord stated yesterday in
this paper that it cost the city of Pal
estine $4,000 less per year to run that
city government than it costs to run
the city government of Tyler. Is this
saving due TO the fact that Palestine
has a commission form of government
or because a more rigid economy is
practiced in that city? Might do well
