SMALLPOX SCARE AT THE
STATE CAPITOL BUILDING

ldahO's state capitol building and
its inmates were given a genuine
smallpox scare yesterday when City
Health Officer Cation visited the state
game department. directed Miss Annie
Ryan, stenOgrapher, TO return to her
home, closed the doors and windows
and fumigated the office, and incident
ly Chief Clerk Cliff. who happened to
be present The news of the fumiga-
ton, and the fumes, rapidly spread
through the state house but there was
no stampede.
1t appears that Miss Byan, who re-
sides with relatives, had been exposed
to smallpox Some of the children in
the family have had what was sup
posed to be chickenpox. They all
caught it, but it was only the other
day the attending physician determin-
ed to certainty that the latest vic
tim to the disease was suffering from
smallpox. Miss Ryan has been at
tending to her daily stenographic du-
ties and thought nothing of the mat
ter, especially in view of the fact the
disease had been considered chicken
pox. However, the health officer lost
no time, on learning the disease was
smallpox. to visit the game depart
ment and take the necessary precau-
tons to prevent possible spread of the
disease. Chief Clerk Cliff was order
ed to fumigate his clothes, be vacci-
mated and runs the chances of being
quarantined. He secured a certificate
from his physician that he was i'm
mune from the disease, having been
vaccinated and this may save The
quarantine. Miss Ryan was vaccinat-
ed several months ago.

IUBANTlA SINKING AR0USES
DUTCH GOVERNMENT
Explosion Came In Dead of Night
Americans Sayed-SuryiYOrs Arrive
In Holland.

AMSTERDAM-The newest and fin
est steamship sailing under the Dutch
flag, the Tubantia of the Holland
Lloyd line, was sunk early yesterday,
thirty miles off the Dutch coast Al
though it is not positively established
whether the sinking was due to a
mine or a torpedo, there is a singu-
lar unanimity on the part of those
who were on board in attributing it to
a submarines act
The crew base their belief in this
regard chiefly on the intense violence
of the explosion and on the fact that
it occurred amidships
The vessel was bound from Amster-
dam to South American ports, carry
ing crew OF 294 and eighty-two pas
sengers, the latter most neutrals, in
Guiding it is said, three Americans
The ship bore the usual Identification
marks of her neutral character, IN
GLIDING an Illuminated name and flag
The disaster has created a profound
sensation throughout Holland The
press commenss reflect anger and in
dignatiOn. The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche
Courant says:
Between being torpedoed and be-
ing mined the only difference which
exists is that known in criminal law
between intention and conditional in
tentiOn. If the ship was torpedoed,
then there was absolute equivalent to
intention. The submarine commander
must have known, when he gave the
command to fire, that the ship was
the Tubantia. No words can be found
to qualify this crime; no excuses can
be accepted
1t is now believed there was a small
number of lives lost in the sinking of
the Tubantia, either in the explosion
or in an accident which attended the
launching of a lifeboat The steam
ship remained afloat several hours.
According to all reports there was
no panic. The boats were launched
in their appointed order and the pas
sengers were all taken off first The
rescue work was difficult owing to the
darkness, the heavy mist and the
rough sea.

PREDICTS WOOL WILL SELL
AS HIGH AS 30 CENTS
S. w. Mcclure Optimistic. Press Re-
ports Show Practically No Wool Is
Being Contracted.

With not a pound of this season 5
wool contracted, sheep owners are
viewing with considerable optimism
the operations of the wool buyers who
are making contracts on clips in Mont
ana and Wyoming and paying in some
instances as high as 81 cents.
Thirty-one cents per pound is the
mark set for wool to reach this season.
The author of this prediction is none
other than S. W. Mcclure, secretary of
the National Wool Growers association
and editor of the National Woolgrower
the organ of the association. Mr.
Mcclure, while he represents the pro-
ducing end of the industry, is in a po-
sitlon to speak with full knowledge
of the situation.
Mr.. Mcclure was at Gooding, his
former home, recently and in discuss
ing the wool situation he stated that
nearly 100000 pounds of Montana
wool had been sold for 81 to 80 cents
and he expected the price to reach 80
cents.
The wool growers of Utah seemed to
be in haste this year to dispose of
their clips and the report is current
that eastern houses have contracted
for more than so per cent Of the Gins
at prices ranging from q to 2S cents.
In Nevada 60 per cent of the wool has
been contracted, while the growers of
Montana and Wyoming have let 90 of
but five per cent. In Idaho Is per cent
of the wool has been contracted.
At Dillon, Montana, according to
the Tribune of that place, a wool clip
was sold recently at 80 cents, and
other smaller clips at 81 cents. VIM.
Bernstein, buyer for an eastern firm.
Offered Harry Addrus of Dillon SO
cents for his wool, which was refused.
as Mr.. Andrus is confident of receiving
a higher price. Some contracting has
been going on around Billings, Mont.
and it is reported that Smith Bros.
have sold their clip at q cents.
Shearing has commenced in Ari-
IONA, but growers are demanding "a
cents for wool that year ago sold for
"A to 20 cents, and but little contract
ing has been done
The European war, which has been
the cause of the high price of wool.
shows no signs of cessation, and even
If peace should be concluded this sum
mer it is almost certain that the Brit
ish government would continue for a
time the embargo which it placed on
shipments of wool from its colonies.
In former years American manufact-
urers imported 125 100000 pounds of
foreign wool from the British colonies
and South America. Most of the South
American wool has been bought by
German agents 10 be held until the
war shall end After the war is over
the central European powers will like
ly be heavy buyers in the markets of
the World There is every reas on
therefore, for the producers of wool
to view the situation with satisfaction
Elmare county growers, with 1000 90
pounds of wool to sell, seem disposed
to wait for the time when they can
offer their holdings at the spring wool
sales. Those who have clean, long
staple wool to offer may confidently
expect to receive around 80 cents.
while those having woods of finer tex
ure, these being not so much in 1e-
mand, will secure proportionate prices.
