 That sort of thing has been his pleas ure. But to get shamefully hung up and imposed on as was done in the case of the Carnegie Trust company has added five years to his age and hurts him clear through. It was a clear case of gold brick and his confidence was betrayed in frightful raw way and by men he had good reasons to pin his faith to.

Room trading or fraction chasing as it is sometimes called, has also fallen away on account of the taxing of all trades and of other restrictions more or less con- nected with the mechanism of the ex- change. This circumstance has helped to reduce the volume of transactions and the sales that are now reported more nearly represent actual business than ever be- fore.
 It Is not impossible that as much real buying and selling goes on now as in times heretofore considered active. At the same time, brokers and the rank and file of commission merchants arc finding their revenues cut into heavily and a great deal of complaining Is heard among the stock exchange membership. The price of seats is declining and many mem- bers find themselves obliged to curtail expenses in every possible dirtction.
 More business is passing through bank ing channels than ever before and 1t is slowly concentrating among the strong CT and better equipped stock exchange firms. It Is becoming more obviously a rich mans game, not only in the actual handling of orders but on the part of spectators.
 Wall street, as represented by the stock exchange, having become less attractive to the ordinary player, a very large class of speculators are turning into other fields where they can get a more sat isfactory run for their money. There has been tremendous speculation in cotton for two or three years and now we see the growing popularity of mining specula- ton.'
 The hazards of play in mining stocks are very great, but the chances of making winnings draws the. money of tho gam blers. The activity of the get-rich-quick fraternity has educated the public to a knowledge that opportunity for specula- ton in this extra dangerous line of se- curities can always be found by those anxious to lose their money. It must no, | be assumed that becaunse the get-rich- {quick sharps have skinned guliible peo. pie out of many millions of dollars thai all mining is illegitimate and swindle fortunes have been made in the mining g4me and others will be made SO long

S1,000,00O CONCERN

Company Will Import Pedi-

Special TO The Tribune.


BOISE. Ida, July THE filing OF
articles of incorporation with the secre-
tary Of state in this city by the American
Land Livestock company. capitalized
at s1.oooooo. this week. is one OF the
most encouraging events in the progress
OF the wool industry In Idaho. for the
purpose OF the new Incorporation is TO
foster II and bring to the Gem state a
higher standard Of sheep and increase
by the thousands the number Of head.
thereby making the wool clip almost
double its present size
The company proposes to advance the
same plan Of fostering the Industry in
the states OF Utah and Oregon. Promi-
rsnt!y Tssli, identified With the corporation are

been Identified with the sheep business
In western and southern Idaho as we'll
and who is president OF the company;
L, 8. Dunham, a former well-known
thoroughbred sheep breeder in Michigan,
and r. II, Eyes. large operator in Wis
consin and Canada.
Perhaps the most important feature in
connection with this new company, so far
as viewed by sheepmen Of prominence
here is concerned. is that 1t Will establish
one OF the largest thoroughbred sheep
establishments in the west. with the pur-
pose not only of maintaining its own
HtTu OF nlSn DuI dlSD OF
helping to raise the standard of other
lntermcuntain herds.
IT is stated in the articles of incorpora- =
tion that the three principal breeds TO be
raised by the thoroughbred company are
the Ramboullets, Delaines and Shrop-
shires. Considerable importing will be
done this end of the work to be handled
by Mr.. Dunhanl. said to be one OF the
best experts In the west along this line,
having made many trips abroad for i'm
porting purposes.
Discussing the new departures in the
sheep industry marked by this company s
policy. President Shufelt stated that he
and his associates feel that the straight
wool part OF the sheep business has been
the least cared for In this country, being
subordinated to the mutton business. He
believes that the prospects OF developing
high grade sheep in the lntermountain
country, so suitably adapted TO II. never
looked better than now.
With the prospect of getting a finer
quality Of wool from better sheep, raisn z
the standard OF the herds by imported
blood the men interested In the Amcri-
can company appear confident that such
heavy expenditure million dollars
In the industry is warranted at the pres
ent time. They declare that the wool
prices are expected TO remain substantial
for the next two years and after that will
probably return to their former high
level.

Local Securities

John G. Cutler. investment banker and
dealer In stocks and bonds. in his weekly
trade letter says:
AS the business prosperity of the coun
try depends very much upon the condi
ton OF the crops. and the corn, wheat
and cotton crops having been greatly
benefited by the recent heavy and need
cd rains the trade outlook for the latter
half OF 1911 Is considerably improved.
Reports of leading industries. like iron
and steel, are more encouraging lately,
operations will show increased activity.
Locally. business In dry goods at
wholesale has been only moderate, while
retail trade In groceries. clothing. foot
collections are rather slow. while In the
city they are only fair But one bad
feature of the situation is that there are
quite number OF men in the trades and
building lines who are out OF employ
mert
Considerable new work is contem-
plated. such as the erection Of a number
OF new cottages in the residence district,
extensions by the street railway com
pany, and improvements around the
Yards and on the lines OF the Oregon

Bankers are going TO erect a new sky
scraper. and the Dcseret National bank

It Is being settled upon a Just and

Of II than out OF any other crop that
