INTERESTING LETTER
ON WOOL MARKET.

Boston reports say trading in the
wool market during the past week has
shown more activity. The strength
of the market is illustrated by the
disposition of dealers to turn down
offers that are not at the highest quot
ed prices. The dealers reason that
recessions at the present time would
make the profitable marketing of the
new clip impossible, considering the
prices they are obliged to pay for the
new woods.
Shearing is in active operation in
the west and wool shorn has found
active buyers. Buyers are exhibiting
greater hesitancy in closing deals at
the prevailing high prices, and growers
are less strong in their demands, but
we do not see any weakness as all
the sales reported are at high levels;
but we are strongly of the opinion
that as soon as dealers have their i'm
mediate wants supplied they will be
less keen to buy, in other words the
early market will be on a higher ba-
sis. Fine woods are selling today for
much higher cost per secured pound
than the Wyoming, Utah and Nevada
woods are selling for. The market in
the west is speculative. Heavy woods
in Oregon are selling freely to eastern
houses on a basis of 50 cents scour-
ed, whereas the Idaho fine woods are
costing S. cents or better clean. 1t
is only fair to say that purchases have
been made in the west at figures
which mean a secured cost laid down
above what could be obtained for
the wool in the Boston market.
The first public sales of Idaho wool
occurred at Mountainous May 81,
when about $4,000 pounds were Of
fered as follows:
Joe Tatorico, $4,000 pounds fine and
fine medium wool, very attractive and
light shrinkage; sold for 1880. Lab
ter & Honga. $500 pounds; one-third
of this clip cross bred wool, all very
attractive and light shrink; sold for
l7Ac. J. c. Kidd. 10000 pounds light
fine, 1880; Bengoechea & Alvortis
10000 pounds very fine long staple
fine combing, an excellent clip, 16c
Joe Bengoechea, $4,000 pounds fine
staple combing wool. l6c; Joe Ben.
goechea, $4,000 pounds fine clothing
1870; Garay & Holverson, 23,OO(
pounds mixed grade fine, 1910.
From the results of this sale il
would seem to be about l6c marke
for the best fine woods, but it is thu
opinion of all the eastern buyers tina
the early markets will be the best, a
already several of the leading eastern
buyers have left this section as the,
claim prices are too high as specula
tive markets are liable to break at an!
time.

A PLAIN STATEMENT
AND A PROMISE

An honest man doesn't
need laws to make him honest
or to keep him 50.
An honest corporation
does not require laws to make
or keep it 50.
Just what constitutes an
honest man or an honest cor
peration is more or less a
matter of varying opinion,
but it is generally conceded
that a man who treats his
neighbor fairly. taking no un-
due advantage. asking no ex-
cess Of profit nor misrepre-
senting the goods he has to
selling the best goods
he can produce with a fair
margain Of profit to himself
is honest.
Now a corporation is no
more and no less than a man
doing business on a large
scale: and If a corporation
can answer that definition.
then we ought to concede
that it is an honest corpora
ton. Such a corporation
doesn' I need laws or coercion
to make it honest or to keep
it 50. And with all due
regard to skeptics. that j. the
kind Of a corporation The
Mountain States T telephone
and Telegraph Company
tries to be-claims to be.
It is now giving the best
service it can produce at a
fair margin Of profit. asking
no excess Of interest on the
money actually invested. Ot
has no bonds and no watered
stock.)
Now. without coercion
and without demand Of law
it makes this promise-that
its rates shall always be as
low As possible consistent
with good service. If the
rates shall at any time pro-
duce an excess Of profit they
will be reduced to such a
figure a. to return only a fair
rate Of interest on the money
actually invested. Keep TINS
in mind: il is true. and 2
promise from an honest cor
poration.
Did you, know that the
Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company has
actually invested in property
$l.l5 for every $l.00 capital
on which it pays INTEREST,"
Your rates pay interest on
the $l.OO. not the $l.l5.

In Democratic circles the interest
centers around the coming state con-
vention to be held at Occur d'Alene
City. Hon. John F. Nugent has COM
pleted arrangements for special
train to take the delegates from this
part of the state to Occur d'Alene
City. From letters received by State
Chairman Nugent, there will be a
large attendance of delegates at this
convention. A most unusual condi-
ton prevails among the Democrats of
Idaho at this time. The general SEN
timent is, no doubt. in favor of Champ
Clark for president, but it may be put
down as certain that the Idaho dele
CATION will not be instructed for him.
The reason for this is because of Du-
bois being Champ Clark's campaign
manager The Endorsement of Clark
would mean practically the indorse-
ment of Dubois and this in turn would
have the effect of placing Dubois
again in the saddle in Democratic poll
tics of Idaho, which in turn would
materially affect the state ticket this
fall; so that Idaho Democrats will
send either an uninstructed delegation
to the national convention, which is
not likely, or they will instruct for
Bryan, another simple way out oil
the difficulty.

kept it for the necessity Of life. We
had Kelley's army passing through OF
