WOOL A CLEAR
PROFIT TO THE GROWER

Washington, July s7.-(Special Cor
respondence) Free WOOL and the adap-
tation Of weaving machinery to short
fiber woods, has developed market in
the United States for South African
woods, according to Consul Aastersea,
Durham, South Africa. He reports two
large shipments Of this wool to the Uni
ted States recently, amounting to over
81 100000 in value. During tho pres
emit wool season American buyers have
been heavy purchasers Of African weels
aggregating 100000.
On account Of tho high prices Of
woods, due TO the European war, Ansri'
can farmers have not felt the effeeta
Of tie frses veol provision in the ua-
derwood tariff law, but the far-reacA
ing effects Of free trade are indicated
in the manner in which the importation
Of the South African products il en-
couraged. Heretofore there has been
little imported, and that for carpets.
The tariff board report rendered in
1909, speaking Of the cost Of production
Of the South African woods, says: with
an average valuation on breeding sheep
of $3.50 per head and an investment
per head Of not over 40 cents year,
and taking into account the low cost
of wages and provisions, the moderate
leasing values Of their grazing lands,
the mild winters which do not d.
maad other food for the animals thah
that found on the ranges, the strong de-
mand for mutton Of all classes, it IL
evident that the African wool grower is
able to meet all his expenses from the
sale of his surplus stock and mutton,
leaving the wool as clear prefit on
his investment OF course the Ameri-
can farmer cannot meet such conpeti-
ton in nermal times without = protes.
tive duty on wool.

Travelling Mans ExDerience.

"In the summer Of 1888 had q very
severe attack Of cholera morbus. Two
physicians worked over me from a. m.

for my family. Instead of doing 90, I
gave the hotel porter fifty cents and
told him to buy me q bottle Of Cham

a double dose according to the direc-

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW
HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Topeka, Kan. March 20.-The mi
gratory bird law was declared un-
constitutional by Judge John C. Pol
lock in the United States district
court today. Judge Pollock held
congress had no jurisdiction over
game in any of the states, and that
separate states only have the right
to enact laws for regulation or pro-
lection of game.
Fred Robertson, United States dis
trict attorney, announced the case
would be appealed to the United
States Supreme court. In his deci-
sion, Judge Pollock said, in part:
The act challenged is believed to
be the single instance in the entire
legislative or judicial history Of this
nation or the composing states, in
which a contrary view has been ex-
pressed. Unless departure as rad

held incapable of support by any pro-

country.
IF the act in question shall, on

upheld. it must surely follow that
the many laws of the separate states
of this Union must hereafter be held
to be imperative, for there can be

BONDS FOR STATE HIGH
WAY FIND A MARKET

Boise, March 20. That the Con-
tinental & Commercial Saving bank
Of Chicago is prepared to take the
5000, 900 highway bond issue at l-2
per cent is evident from information
received by State Treasurer Eagle
son. A letter from this big bank
ing institution this morning asks for
further information with relation to
the issue. Some time ago the state
treasurer forwarded information to
the bank after it had presented
through its local financial agent a
check Of $40, 900 as a guarantee of
good faith it would handle the bond
issue. The last legislature author
lied the per cent of interest carried
by the bonds raised to 4 1-2. The
state treasurer also made arrange

bonds. saving that expense 70 the

WHEN new LAWS
GO INTO EFFECT

1t has been currently reported
that the law passed by the last leg
islature, strengthening the present
local option law, would go into eff
feet on the goth Of April, which is
so days after the bill was signed by
the governor. This is mistake, as
all acts passed by legislature,
which do not contain an emergency
clause, 60 in effect so days after
the adjournment of the legislature.
Section % of Article Of the state
constitution says:
No act shall take effect until
sixty days from the end of the ses-
sion at which the same shall have
been passed. except in case Of
emergency, which emergency shall
be declared in the preamble or in
the body of the law"
AS this section of the constitution
has never been amended, it will be
impossible for the new prohibition
law, or any other law not contain
ing an emergency clause, to become
effective until May 8, 1915, or go
days after the adjournment of the
legislature.
The idea that the prohibition law
would go into effect on April goth
doubtless orginatated from belief,
upon the part of some, that laws GO
into effect.6O days after they are
signed by the governor, but as will
be seen from the above section OF
the constitution. such, is not the
case.
