EXPERTS FORECAST
GOOD WOOL PRICES

The National Wool Warehouse
& Storage company, a concern
that is closely related to a ma, or
ity of the WoolgroWers of Mon
tana, in a circular dated June 10,
has This to say of wool prospects
in general and of the outlook for
the Montana clip of 1915, in par
ticular:
Comparatively few ord ers
have been placed recently for
foreign war contracts for either
blankets or clothing but it is ex~
pected, as the war gives promise
of extending into the winter, that
large contracts will soon be placed
IN this country. In addition to
this favorable situation for
American manufacturers is the
further fact that foreign compe-
ti1ion in our markets is now prac-
tlcalIy thing of the past. When
It is taken into consideration that
American manufacturers m u t
make the clothing not only for
our own population but also will
probably make large amounts of
uniform cloth and blankets for
the various European nations, it
will be seen that the consumptive
demand for wool in the United
States will be greater than ever
before.
I'm view of all that has been
said about the value of medium
woods for war purposes, as wei
as general uses, it goes without
saying that growers of such woods
may expect strong competition
and we believe better prices as
shearing progresses. We alsl
look for active, sharp competition
for Montana fine medium anC
half blood clips. We are still o
the opinion that these woods will
be at a premium in order to bt
used for blending purposes will
foreign, defective woods. Man,
mills which have been expert
menting with the so-called cheap

woods are finding that without

RAILROADS TO
DISINFECT CARS

All railroads operating in Mon
tana have been officially notified
by the state railroad commission
that they had declined to author
ize the schedule of changes which
the carrier companies had at
tempted to place upon the stock
shippers of Montana for disin-
fecting cars, says the Helena In
dependent.
The commission in their letter
took the position that the disin-
fecting of stock cars and pens
was nothing more nor less than
cleansing their equipment which
was to be occupied by livestock,
and that it was not the duty of
the shippers to prepare vehicles
owned by railroads for the trans
portation of their stock.
1t was further set forth in the
letter that it was not the duty of
shippers to prepare any Of the
facilities owned by transporta-
ton companies which were Incl
dental to t h e performance of
their duties as common carriers.
Hence" the letter concludes,
1T devolves upon the railroads
to disinfect stock cars and stock
pens, ii the state, federal or
| municipal authorities require it. -
The action of the state railroad
commission puts it up to the rail-
roads to take the next step. The
charges were put on by the rail
roads at the time of the outbreak
of the foot and mouth disease.
Later these charges were increas.
led to such an extent that. during
the legislature, shippers com.
planned, and bill was drawn ar
preventing such charges. The
bill was not introduced, however,
the railroads promising to with
draw the tariffs. This they failec
TO do.
There never has been decision
with reference to such charges
and it is not impossible that ;
test case may be made by some
railroad.
