The big decrease in the supply of
sheep which makes corresponding
loss in the amount of wool produced
in the world this season, will event
ually bring the milling interests to
their senses
The latest advices on wool received
from Australia show that in some
sections of the western part of the
commonwealth the rainfalls have
been light and that the sheep have
suffered severely on account of the
dryness of the season.
For the first nine months of the
present year the shipments from Aus
tralia amounted to 1,5S7,00e bales.
which made the shortage $4,000
bales New Zealand exports during
the same period were $4,000 bales.
or an increase over last year for a
corresponding period of $4,000 bales.
The exports from Australia recently
showed a falling off, and the actual
decrease was somewhat in excess of
anticipation, The opinion current is
that during the present month ship
ments will be considerably larger and
that the shortage now shown will be
cut down.
Keen observers or Australian wool
conditions declare that the chances of
a wool scarcity developing are very
remote. There appears to be an am
pie supply in sight despite the short
age that has occurred
According to English reports, the
statements that there was going to be
a remarkable wool yield were great
ly exaggerated. Some statisticians
prophesied a shortage of 10000 bales,
which would be equivalent to 270,-
600 bales of Australian wool. Instead
of this great decrease. it begins to
look as though the yield would be
greater than last year. for the latest
figures compiled by British authori-
ties place the exports from Argentina
and Uruguay since October last at
$4,000 bales, as against 210,400 for
the corresponding period of last sea-
son.

Baker is the latest city OF the IN
land empire to be inoculated with the
desire to emulate the Pendleton

hearted Bob and he had hurried away
to meet Ned, had given him rather
forlorn, hopeless instructions and
jumped into an automobile, and had
offered the chauffeur double, triple,
quadruple pay If he could make
Taunton and back within the hour.
For while Bob had thousands in
vested in the West he could not hope
to raise dollar in hurry. At Taun-
ton, however, there was an old-time
banking friend. 1t was question of
minutes. The Upton people would
run up the bidding to any amount to
get their rival out of the way. For
the sake of the girl he adored out of
sympathy and respect for her aged
parent, Bob must battle these
schemes, if possible.
A representative of the Upton in
terest was on hand at the auction, as
Ned found when he reached the
works. The auction was being con-
Quoted IN the little Office of the plant.
There were over fifty persons pres
ent, most of them curiosity seekers.
The auctioneer had made a plat
form of one box set fiat, and a desk
of another tilted on end. His ham
mer beat a tattoo as a call to order.
1.-THE entire plant will be sold with
out reserve" announced the man
with the gavel- contents only and
lease of the premises. Terms will be
strictly cash. What am bid?"
1.-TWO hundred dollars"
An untidy man who suggested the
typical junk dealer made this tender.
The Upton agent directed at him a
whitening and contemptuous glance
and said cody:
Fifteen hundred dollars"

heart sank as he realized that he had |
been put out Of the race almost at |
the start.

Humans Are Made Crabs by Side-Seated Cars

CLEVELAND, O. - Thin, anaemlc
- men who are unable to do a days
work, and frail little women attain
record for muscular exertion which
could not be surpassed by the strong
est athlete every time that they ride
in a side-seated street car, according
to computations made by Councilman
E. M. Bieder. They are compelled to
push against a force Of probably half
ton every time they make a trip
upon one Of these cars, he declares.
Man Is not crab and cannot
move sidewise with any degree of
ease" said Mr. Bieder the other day.
His muscles are not formed for that
mode of advance. Let anyone who ia
in doubt on this subject try to run
sideways for a hundred yards at a
fair rate of speed The strain upon
the muscles will cause a contraction
resembling paralysis.
THE forward movement of street
car. with its sudden stoppage and
jerks. is a constant strain. and mus.
cles which are not adapted to it are
compelled to take up the burden OF
holding the body more or less rigid
against the force which sways one
