1T SIMPLY AMT so,
SAYS SENATOR STONE

Chicago, Sept. 2O.-"A Word About
the So-Called S-Hour Law as Related
to Railroad Operatives" by w. ].
Stone, United States senator from
Missouri, was issued by the western
national Democratic headquarters here
today.
Accompanying the statement was
an assertion that Senator Stone was
representing the thought of the adj
ministration ON the subject. The
statement said in part:
"Messrs. Hughes, Roosevelt, Root,
Lodge, PenrOse, Crane, Plerpont Nor
gan. George W. Perkins and that en-
tire genus, maintain that the presi-
dent and congress surrendered to
force, and thereby ~discredited public
authority and weakened the founda-
tion Of our governmental institution.
Zone weakness about this charge is
that it is false. Nobody threatened
the president nor congress; nobody
demanded anything Of them; there was
no controversy between the govern
meht and the railroad employees, nor
between the government and the rail
road arrangements. The controversy
was purely industrial, waged between
several hundred thousand men who
actually operated trains on the n
hand, and the managers of the rail-
roads on the other"

Wool Clip This Year, Estimate
Nearly 500, 1000 Pounds Of Fleece to Be, Clipped
In County; Little Sale of Wool at Present, But
Prices Are Good

on hand for present purposes are not
inclined to stock up. but sheepmen
who are in a prosperous condition
generally, are not inclined to let loose
their stun at a lower price than that
which prevailed earlier in the sea-
son. / think that wool will move
later, but world conditions are apt to
influence the price"
The Peoples Mercantile company
have not handled quite so much
through their local warehouse, much
of the stuff ordinarily going through
Carlsbad being sent to Roswell direct.
Eve have only handled about ninety
thousand pounds said George Price,
Those are the Mike I~rraborne clip Of
$4,000 pounds and thef e. ". Aston
clip of 10000 pounds. The Adams
Sheep company, the Buckeye, Charley
Harbert, w. e. Sewalt, Wilbur Sew
walt and Hamp Eaves clip have all
been sent direct to Roswell. They
ought to have a combined clip Of two
hundred thousand pounds, The IT.
riborne clip was sold at twentyfour
cents"
Not considering any OF the north
end of the county clip, including
sheep kept at Hope, Eddy county, SO
far reports four hundred and sixty
five thousand pounds Of the staple.
With good grass ahead, and high
for their clip, sheepmen may
look ahead with but little fear of the
coming season.
Unofficial figures received Of the
number Of sheep owned in the Hope
district show that almost as many
sheep are run there as are in the
Plains district. The num-
bers as given to the Argus are:
$4,000; Coffin, 5000; Childree
5000; Mcdonald, 5000; Whitaker and
May, 1900; Hardin, 5000; GIasscock,
5000; Maybury Bond 5000; Johnson
1000; Canope Brothers, 5000. These
sheep approximate sixty thousand in
number, and figuring on a basis OF
nine pounds of wool to the sheep, over
half a million pounds Of the staple,
Eddy county having a million pounds
Of wool, this year.
