NEXT YEARS. WOOL
CROP SOLD AHEAD
NEARLY 4,ooo, 900 POUNDS TAKEN
IN NEVADA AND 100000
IN UTAH

BOSTON, Dec. 26.-Renewed con-
tracting operations in the west are,
perhaps, the leading feature Of the
past week in the wool market, aside
from the speculative trading in this
center. Other incidents, however, of
varying importance have been con-
spicuous enough to elicit comment.
Among these are the proposed export
tax of five per cent on all commodi-
ties proposed by the government OF
Argentina; the attainment of the
high mark of half dollar, for feeces,
which circumstance has stopped pre-
dictions as to what the top will be-;
the ex post facto publication of regu-
lation in regard to the export of
bury merinos from Australia to the
United States. and the approaching
of the close of the season in South

woods.
Approximately 60 per cent of the
whole clip in Nevada now is under
contract, according to reports. That
is, the contracting movement is said
to have bespoken 100000 to 1000, 00C
pounds in the state The late buying
of unshorn wool has been done at q
to 32 cents. Liberal contracts have
been made both in Nevada and Utah
the past week. Nearly 100000
pounds Of Utah woods have beer
bought so far. The level of go to 81
cents has prevailed for such woods
though little buying has been done
at SO cents. The clean landed cos
in Boston for the woods of the two
states is figured to be 80 cents to 81
Buyers have been ready to take cliI
I elsewhere in the west at these specu
lative levels, but growers are de
handing even more. 1t is difficult t,
get sellers to make definite quota
tions, so the desirable clips in othe
states are still held by the growers.

COMPLETING line
ACROSS ANDES
my Associated Press.)

VALPARAISO, Chile, Nov. 23.-
The department of public works has
again seriously taken under con
sideration the proposition of con-
structing the Chilean end of new
Trans-Andine railway. The line
which official reports say will be
built at the earliest possible moment
will connect the Argentine port OF
Bahia Blanca with Lebu and will
cross the Andes in the foreign re
gions of Lonquimay. The Argentine
end of the new transcontinental has
been completed to within thirty kilo
meters of the Chilean frontier, where
work was halted to await a like de
velopment on the western slopes OF
the Andes.
At present, semi-weekly trains are
running regularly between Buenos
Aires and Valparaiso over the exist
ing trans-Andine road, which crosses
the great plateau through the Uspal
lata pass, $4,000 feet above the level
of the sea. The boundary line. be
tween Argentine and Chile consists
of 1000 miles on Andean peaks, mos
of which are over $4,000 feet high
and some of which rise to $4,000 feet
This massive barrier can be crossed
in but few places, even by men or
foot, and the building of the new
transcontinental will be a notable
engineering feat.

s~A WIFE

A wife is an ex-girl who has
realized her greatest ambition-the
capture of man, and who has
settled down to show him that
women's clubs, pink teas and gowns
are absolute necessities, while three
square meals a day are anything else
than that. When wife takes a man
to raise he soon learns that she is
his master. She doesn't tell him so
he just mysteriously absorbs the in
formation, and the older he grows
the more established the fact roots
itself in his mind. Almost any man
is brave enough to go to war; he will
| fight man twice his size; but a
mere look from his wife will wilt
him like lettuce leaves on hot
stove. No one knows why. Wives
are. peculiar animals in a way--that
those belonging to other men always
look better to man than his own,
and that while a man feels 1t lis a
terrible task to support one, he would
have a dozen II it were not for our
laws. 1t is said that man once
took his new born son to an island
and reared him to manhood without
the child ever seeing woman. When
q years old the father brought the
son back to civilization. Passing a
woman, the son asked: Father,
what is that thipg?" 81 den't know"
answered the father "Well ! want

TRADE COMMISSION
TO PROVIDE RELIEF
FOR PUBLISHERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Commiss.
iorer Davis made it clear at the start
of today's hearing that the Federal
Trade commission was determined to
find some relief for publishers. He
said the commission In the very i'm.
mediate future would decide If the
distribution plan were feasible. If it
did not prove practicable and the CON-
mission could find no other measure
of relief, he said, other agencies of the
government would be given the facts
uncovered by the commission. A re-
port will be made to Congress on the
whole situation soon.
Publishers who testified today were
asked by the commission for suggest
ions as to resolution on the situation.
Rep. Champion Of Mich, proposed that
if it were not unconstitutional, the
commission take into its own hands
the matter of price and distribution.
When a combination, he said, could
control a public commodity some pub
lie authority should have the power
to see that justice was done. If the
federation trade commission did not
have enough power to meet the situa-
tion, he said a member of congress
would do all he could to give it such
power.
