ADVANCE PREDICTED

A Boston ,teleRram says: High
prices in the wool markets sustain
ed for sorue time past have put the
mills in a serious position for sup
plies at anything like living prizes!
Many Of the conservatives among
millmen and dealers consider the
situation already dangerous, al
though acknowledging that condi-
tion sbroad and at home favor an
advance, or at least the mainten-
ance of present values.
These new clip woods ere being
offered at 20 to % cents for Ari-
iona, 81 to 90 cents for. Utah to 20
cents for Nevada. This means a
secured cost of 3D. and 55 cents fer

PRESTONS PAROLE

The supreme Judge and the at
torney general Rave issued a
lengthy statement justifying the
parole of III. R. PrsstoH. the /. w.
w murderer Of Goldheld. We do
not, doubt that these gentlemen
acted from the purest motives in
parnling Preston, but ne nevsrthe-
less think they made a grave mis-
take in giving him his liberty.
Their statement in justification of
Prcston's parole is drawn with the
skill of trained attorneys and sets
forth the reasons for their action
with the force that only trained
attorneys can command. They seem
to lose sight of Silva, whose life
was cruelty. snuffed out by a bullet
fired by Preston, and see only Pres
ton, the victim Of perjured testi.
mony and the excited condition of
the public mind. They see Silva
in hi, own premises with a gun in
his hand, ready to defend his life
and property, but fail TO see Pres
ten lying in wait at Silva's door
with a 10 de pistol m his hands
with which to take SiVa's life. In
short Trey lei to SEE everything
in Preston's favor and nothing in
the crime committed that would
justify is further punishment.
Preston, thew say has teen in
confinement more than seven years
and has served more than the min.
imum sentence for the crime of
which he was convicted. Yes, and
during those seven years his victims
body has moldered into dust, II
seven years confinement in the pen
itentiary is sufficient for a crime
such as Preston committed, the
next legislature should repeal the
law making death or life ~imprison-
ment the punishment for murder
in the first degree and fix seven
years in the penitentiary as the
limit Of punishment. II 1t is justice
for Preston, place all murders on
the same plane.

ly. 1t win be remembered that a few
years ago there was a rush toward
very large wheels and tires by GER
tain car makers. Since then practice
has returned to sizes between the
largest and the old bicycle sizes
that were the original foundation.
In cross-section there Is a steadily
greater demand for larger tires.
There's q reason for this. This COM
