WOOL TARIFF CALLS
OUT HOUSE ORATORS
Many Flights of Fancy Indulged
In By Opponents of Free
Raw Material.

Washington, May 5.-"Schedule H.
the much discussed, always disputed,
wool tariff, Upon which the democrats
maintain the republicans stumbled in
their fall rom power last fall and over
which their own party is divided,
brought the tariff fight in the House
today to a climax.
1t was apparent early in the day that
free raw wool as projected in the adj
ministration bill was in for a three
cornered fight, the republicans demand
ing a duty of about IS ler cent, sup
ported by some of the progressives and
the wool insurgents of the majority
demanding a Is per cent duty which
they claim was the original judgment
of the ways and means committee until
President Wilson took a hand.
Though approved by the democratic
caucus after a two days fight and al
most certain to come through the
House struggle u~nscathed, the wool
schedule brought out h heaviest ora
torical artillery of the opposition and
many predictions that free raw wool
would not stand the fire in the Senate,
but would eventually come back to the
House with a duty and receive the
solid democratic support.

TRAIL TO THE HILLS
AWAITS OPENING OF
BRIDGE over POWDER
Trip of Inspection Postponed to
August Because of River
Dangers.

Rapid City. S. D.. May 6.-Chairman
Ben NJ, Wood. OF the BLACK and Vel
low" Trail Pathfinders' committee, has
other members of the committee. in
Guiding President Schlictins, OF the
Deadwood Commercial club. who is tine
representative of Lawrence county on
The committees; II. w. I'roth, secretary
OF the club; Y. G. Vincent, superinten-
dent of highways for western South
Dakota: George V. Ayers and NJ. F.,
B~rockett, of S~undance, Wyo.
1T was decided to postpone the trip,
which will extend from Chicago to the
park. by way of the Black
Hills, until late in August, when the
big bridge across Powder river shall
nave been completed.
Except for the bridge spanning
the Mississippi at Winona. the one
across Powder river is the biggest on
the route. The rive is unfordable dur
ing the early summer months and the
committee are 10th to risk its passage
until the new bridge is completed,
rms being the official trip of the
South Dakota Good Roads association
II is desira BILE to have the details com
piete and have it run OFF without a
hitch.
Changes in the method OF financ-
ing the undertaking were adopted. In
stead OF calling on the counties to pay
the expenses, business and commercial
clubs along the route will be asked to
contribute. This is believed a fairer
method as the route selected by the
Pathfinders will be the official high
way from Chicago to the park
III was also decided to ask each city
along h road to appoint a road super
visor to attend to the repairs and build
ing OF the highway, which. as far as
possible. Will follow the layout of the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad.
