MCCLURE ON WOOL.

Now we hear again from S. w. Mcclure secretary of the
national wool growers association Mr. Mcclure says that
wool is to advance to high price level This he says
due to the activity of the German buyers and the shortage
IN the Australian Just The supply been stmu
lated y order on German account and the supply reduced
by shortage Australia So the price is to further advance
But short time this Mr. Mcclure was resident
OF Idaho when the head quarters of the national wool grow
es ASSOCIATION was in the heart of the Snake valley
All during the time he resided Idaho he prepared divers and
sundy statements which he distributed throughout the coun
" through the public prints and the organ association
IN which he predicted dire things for the growers should
the tariff ever be reduced Supply and demand could
nave nothing to do with the price of wool The tariff alone
controlled that.
ana AFTER the election of congress which disagreed with
the views Of Mr. Mcclure he continued his dire and
productions from coast to coast till senced by the advances
winch came in the price of wool. And Mr. Mcclure is

Accordingly we visited the town The street was full of men idIing slow ly to and fro All the larger structures were wide open. and from within could be heard the sounds of hurdy-gurJlies, loud laughter and noisy talk. At one end of the street a group was organiz- ing horse race, and toward this Don Gaspar took his immediate departure, A smaller group surrounded two wres- tiers. At one side jumping match was going on
 The two gambling places and saloons were hard at it. The low rooms were full of smoke and crowded with slow 1y jostling men In contrast to the deadly quiet of such places in San Francisco, these were full of noise and hubbub, The men moved restless ly, threw down their little bags of dust 1mpatiently and accepted victory or defeat with very audible comments The gamblers, dressed in black, pale. sat steady eyed and silent behind their 1ayouts-
 1t was about 4 o'clock when the meeting was brought to formal con clusion- The crowd dispersed slowly all different directions and to it's differ cut occupations and amusements. We wandered about, nll eyes and ears. AS yet we had not many acquaintances and could not enter into the intimate bantering life of the old timers. There was enough to interest us, however. A good many were beginning to show the drink. After a long period of hard labor even the most respectable of the miners would have at times strange reactions. That is another tale, how- ever, and on this Sunt.ay the drinking was productive only of considerable noise and boastin@. Two old eodgers, head to head, were bragging laBorious sly of their prowess as cooks A small but interested group egged them on.
 Yank and I then thought of going back to camp and began to look around Nfter Johnny, who had disappeared when McNally rolled up, inviting us 70 sup with him.

disadvantage of living way off where you do- My hangout is just down the street Let's have a drink"
 We accepted both his invitations Then, after the supper, pipes alight, we sauntered down the street, a vast leisure expanding our horizons
 We entered the gambling rooms, of which there were two, and had drink of what McrSaIly called "42 cal1ber whisky at the bar Of each. In one of them we found Johnny, rather flush ed, bucking a faro bank Yank sslg- gested that he join us, but he shook his head impaxtently, and we moved on In tremendous tent made by Joining three or four ordinary tents to- gether a very lively fiddle and con- certina were in full blast We entered and were bounced upon by a bolster ous group of laughing men and had to join in the festivities.
 About 10 o'clock we were getting tirel, and probably the reaction from the "42 caliber whisky" was making us drowsy. We hunted up Johnny, still at his faro game. but he positive 1y and impatiently declined to accom- pany us He said he was ahead-oT behind, I forget which. I notice both conditions have the same effect of keeping a man from quitting. We therefore left him and wandered home through the soft night, wherein were twinkling stars, gentle breezes, little voices and the silhouettes of great trees.
 Johnny did not return at all that night, but showed up next morning al the diggings, looking blear eyed and sleepy. He told us he had slept with a friend and replied rather curtly that he was a "h. tie behind the game" believe myself that he was cleaned out, but that was none of our business Every night we divided the dust intc five parts. Don Gaspar and VaSquez got two of these The remainder we again divided into four. took charge of Talbot's share. We carried the dust always with us, for the camp was nS longer safe from th1eves.

 He and Tank smoked 1nterminab1e pipes and swapped yarns. Johnny and I liked nothing better than to keep quiet and listen to them. Bagsby had come out with Captain Sutter and told of that doughty soldiers early sktr- zmishes with the Indians. His tales of the mountains, the plains and the game and Indians were so much romance to us, and we both wished heartily that fate could have allowed us a chance at such adventures.
 "But why don't you fellows branch out?" Bagsby always ended. What do you want to stick here for like fot of groundhogs2 There's rivers back in the hills a heap better than this one, and nobody thar. You'd have the place plumb to yoreselves. Git in where the mountains is really mountainous"
 "If Sam Bagsby v1,uld join us it might be worth trying" we came to at last.
 But Sam Bagsby secuted any such idea.

 Then McNal1y had an inspiration.
 Twill you go, Sam, if we pay you for going?' he asked.
 Sure replied the trapper at once. \''I'm a laborin man. I'll go anywhar Pm paid to go.'' 1 It came out that Bagsby's ideas of proper compensation were his supplies, $15 a week in gold and a drink of whisky twice a day! In all this gold country he was the only man I met i who genuinely despised money. real 1 ly think we were hurried to our decf- 1 sion by this unexpected reasonable 1 cided definitely to go.
 1 There were nine of us-Bagsby, 1 Tank, Johnny Fairfax, myself, Don Gaspar, Vasquez, McNally, Buck Bar 1 ry and Missouri Jones. 1 Bagsby got us up long before day l light. The air was chilly, in contrast l to the terrific heat to be expected ] later in the day, so we hastened to finish our packing and at dawn were l of.
 Until about o'clock we journeyed 1 through a complete solitude; then we came upon some men digging in a dry wash. They had piled up great heap of dirt from a hole. We stopped and talked to them and discovered that they were working what they called ''dry diggings." The pay dirt they ex- cavated from wherever they found it, piled it in convenient place and there left it until the rains should permit its washing. They claimed their dirt would prove to be very rich, but l thought myself that they were labor ing in great faith. Also we learned what Bagsby had known right along, but which he had not bothered to tell us-that we were now about to cross the main overland trail.
