ing. 'show that the sale of wool goods
for next spring has already opened
in New York. The standard goods for
mems suitings opened at from 10 to
II cents less than this time a year
ago.
These reductions nave been made
on the basis of free wool. The con-
sumner can now figure out about what
his chances are for getting cheaper
clothes. These all wool clothes are
made into the better grade of suits
which sell for s25 and 500 If the
saving in each suit was given to the
consumer he might save from 80 to
35 cents on each suit.
''The result will be by the time wher
the suit reaches the consumer the
prices will be exactly what they have
been during the past years. The few
cents saving which the consumer is
entitled to will be absorbed by the
many hands the suit passes through
on its way from the factory to the
wearer The new prices of clothes
will be about the same as the prices
in 1911. The consumer has practi-
cally had free wool since April 1,be'
cause this years clip was bought UP
on a free trade basis.

LETTER ASSERTED
TO BE FROM CHRIST

Country papers throughout the
southwest are printing. usually al the
request OF subscribers, what purports
to be letter written by Christ-This
Is revival OF a-well. FAD" Of fif-
teen years ago. In this letter was an
Injunction that il should be publish
ed" to the world by whoever found
1t, together with the statement that
misfortune and bad luck would fol-
low the person having possession Of
IL in the event that it was not given
publicity.
The letter is published below al the
request of Mrs. ]. j. Biamont an in
valid lady living near Pendleton.
According to the history of the let
ter as it is variously recorded it was
written by Christ just after his cruci-
/ fixion, signed by the Angel Gabriel
ninety-nine years after the Savior,s
birth, and presumably deposited by
/ him under stone at the foot of the
! cross.
On this stone appeared the legend:
BLESSED Is he who shall turn me
over No one knew what this in
scription meant or seemed to have
sufficient curiosity to Investigate. un-
til the stone was turned over by a
child and the letter, which follows,
was discovered:
'Whosoever works on the Sabbath
day shall be cursed. l command YOU
to go to church and keep holy the
Lords day without any manner OF
work. You shall not idle or misspend
your time in bedecking yourselves in
superfluities of costly apparel and
vain dressing. for 1 have ordered II a
day of rest. / will have that day
kept holy that your sins may be for
given you.
You will not break my command
ments. but observe and keep them
they being written by my hand and
spoken from my mouth. You shall
not only go to church yourselves. but
also your man-servant and maid-ser-
want. Observe my words and learn
my commandments.
you shall finish your work every
Saturday at o'clock in the afternoon
at which hour the preparation for the
Sabbath begins. l advise you to fast
five Fridays in the year beginning on
Good Friday and continuing the Fri
days following in remembrance of the
five bloody wounds 1 received for you
and mankind
You shall love one another and
cause them that are not baptized to
come to church and receive the holy
sacrament-that is to say. baptism,
and then the supper of the Lord. and

BOISE POLICE DISCOVER
OPIUM SMUGGLING GANG

BOISE, Aug. 7.-One of the weird
est and what Is regarded as the most
important confessions ever given to
the local police department has been
made by Joseph Miller, alias Smith
Smith says he is member of an or
ganized gang of opium smugglers. He
has given the police complete details
OF his operations throughout the
country for some time past
His story is one that seems almost
unreal in its details, telling as it does
Of how Miller and his confererates
worked between Canada and the Unit
ed states for years in the illicit opium
traffic.
The man is now being held by the
federal authorities Mn the county jail
on a charge of impersonating an Of
ficer, but the government has been re-
quested to send an officer for him,
and other charges may be preferred
When he came here Smith, or Miller,
represented himself to be govern
ment immigration official, and 1t was
from his actions then that suspicion
was directed against him.

MCCLURE SAYS FREE
WOOL WILL Do NO GOOD

SALT LAKE, Aug. THE revision
of the wool tariff has already begun
20 work an injury to the wool grower
and regardless of the low prices at
which wool cloth is being sold in the
eastern market the consumer will re-
ceive no benefit, according to S. w.
Mcclure. secretary of the National
Wool Growers association.
