A GREAT YEAR FOR WOOL

Boston has always been and will doubt less continue to be the chief market in the United States in which the woolen manufacturers and the dealers in wool are interested. There seems to be some danger, however, that Boston's prestige may suffer some impairment The sheep farmers of the far west are now exhila- rated by the prices which they are re- celving for their wool. Never before have they been paid such large sums. Wyom- ing, which is the great wool state, will market its wool for about 31 cents. and so will Colorado. If the sheep industry continues to expand in the west and prices are maintained it is inevitable that an important secondary market, at least, r.ill he 10 eratl,x b isl

probably about 10 per cent Corn will show some shortage, although not se- rious.
 THE LEFTOVER WHEAT
 Authentic information from the north west makes it clear that the surplus or leftover wheat from last years harvest IS very large. It may be sufficient to make good any shortage in this years harvest of wheat To what extent the northwest has contributed with it's har- vests to the general good of the coun- try is made clear by a few statistics of the shipments from the fields to the terminals since September 1, 1915 which Is the beginning of the crop year. There were in the northwest 232, ,OOO, GOO bushels, an amount greater by 81,O0O,OO0 bushels, than were the shipments in the previous year. In Minneapolis and Duluth there are now 20,000,000 bushels in store, and this is larger amount than has been held in thoe cities since 1911, with the exception of the year 1913.
 On the whole, the reports from the northwest have contained welcome news an dthere grows an impression that the harvests of this year are not to be greatly inferier to the phenomenal har- vests of 1914 and 1915.
 A NEW WATERWAY
 Enthusiastic a railroad builder and op- orator as was the late James J. Hill, he never belittled the commercial advantage of waterways and was an earnest advo- cate of improved waterways, especially in the far west. It may have been due in part to his advice that recently the Missouri river has been utilized by stock raisers for the shipment in large amounts of hogs from South Dakota to the Sioux City market. The shipment was made with intent to prove the availability of that long stretch of the Missouri river for the shipment of cattle and hogs from the ranches of South Dakota to the great markets, and it is now believed that no small part of these shipments hereafter will be made by water.
 NOW AND THEN
 Until the beginning of the European war, the DuPont people did not find it necessary to trace freight cars that car ried from their factories various com modities Or brought to the factories raw material Business was so light that su- pervision of this kind was not neces- sary. Now the DuPont people have 65 men in constant employment tracing cars, searching for them, locating those which have carried the DuPont commodi- ties from the factories to the places des- ignated for delivery, and also the cars which are laden with the raw material used in the factories.
 The occupation of these men is very exacting and busy one. They have their hands full and the number of the thus employed is sufficient indication of the magnitude of the operations of this en- terpriSe.

the squalls breaking off somewhere
in the distance. There must have
been bad one along about midnight
over in Escambia Bay, for afterwards
l could hear the waves pounding on
the opposite or western side of Gar
con peninsula, two or three miles
from US, with the steady roll and
roar of "outside" surf, and an hour
or more later, with no wind where
we were, ground swell suddenly
built up from around Garcon Point
that tumbled US about nightly and
started our pots and pans to jabber-
ing.
We got under way at o'clock this
morning, exactly. The tide was with
US, but we had to face strong south
erly wind, and it took us six hours

station yesterday by a resident whose
home is on North 18th avenue, in
which the victim asserts that negroes
in the vicinity, not being able to
reach the hens, which roost in trees,
have been source of nightly worry
by the theft of eggs, and dozens of
these dainties have disappeared with
in the past week.

posed to have been stolen from the
neighbor in question, have been offer
ed at attractive prices to others re-
siding near the victim.

Off Dickerson City, Tuesday.

OH DlckeISOn S1Lys lueSudys
We did not see a great deal of
Black Hammock yesterday. 1t was
pretty hot in the forenoon for walk
ing around in the woods and in the
afternoon there was a hard rain and
wind squall; besides, we were very
comfortable aboard. We had three
boatloads of callers (including some
very pretty barefooted girls of eigh-
teen or twenty for whom we played
Tipperary until "that 'ar piece wuz
pretty near plum wore OUT; and in
the evening we made call ashore.
l am glad to admit that | was dead
wrong in my guess as to the nativity
of the owner of the picturesque flag
staff and the sloop Industry: He
is plain Florida Cracker, born about
two miles from where he now lives,
on "t'other side o. tn Pint" He
fishes, farms, goes oystering and
works in the Robinson Point mill, and
is an all around hustler.
The place adjoining the Crackers"
place, however, is owned bya Wiscon-
sin Scandinavian. This man is doing
little or nothing with his land, and
his floating property consists of one
leaky skiff. The surface indications
are that he is a lazy man, but this
is not so, for he is busily engaged
in solving the political, social, fnan-
cial and religious problems of the
universe. He claims everything for
his theory of government, but I
forced him to admit that nothing
would stop his skiff from leaking but
a good, honest job of calking.
These two paragraphs are contrib
uted merely for the purpose of warn
ing others that appearances are often
deceitfuL
Our call ashore was on the Cracker
family, and we spent remarkably
pleasant evening. They have an or
gan and the young lady of the house
rendered "Safe in the Lifeboat" and
"The Old-Time Religion" splendidly.
Then the artists from the Peep
O'Day went to the bat, and, with
much the same sort of magic that the
sleight-of-hand man displays in pull
ing white rabbits out of your pockets,
and silver dollars from your nostrils,
| pulled from the inwards of that or
gan selections from Chinatown and
Maid in Americai 1t was wonder
Il full
The Missus had nice time, too,
for the Cracker people have "a baby
that is going through that critical
period in a child's life called second
summer" and the Missus was right
there with seven second summers
at her fingers end, and me to back
her up.
We went back aboard at a late
hour and almost at once discovered
that the alligator was not in his cage
We have looked for him high and low
without success, but we are all hop
ing that we will yet run across him
unexpectedly, deep in some box OIL
away back on some shelf-that is all
of us but the Missus, who says she
knows she'd die.
A run of little more than an hour
this morning put US here at Dicker-
son City, where we landed at once
and saw the sights. The owner is a
Battle Greek, Mich, man, and he is
planning and preparing to make this
a greater place. The children are
about to cut our last watermelon, Sc
only have time to say further that
Dickerson City is very pretty.

London.-The entire line of the Alt
river in Rumania, running north and
south through the country from the
Transylvanian Alps to the Danube is
now in the hands of the Teutonic
allies.
In all directions the invaders are
continuing to make progress, with
Bucharest, their main objective, daily
coming nearer. The southern and
eastern drive in the Alt region has
brought the Teutonic forces across the
Topolog river, while to the south, be-
tween Rochi de Vede and Valeni, their
line has been drawn considerably
nearer the Rumanian capital.
Alexandria, forty-seven miles south
east of Bucharest, has been taken by
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's troops.
Considering the swiftness of the ad-
vance of the Teutonic allies through
Wallachia, comparatively few prison
ers have been taken, although semi
official reports credit them with hav-
ing captured considerable supplies OF
needed stores. Near Orsova, twenty
eight officers and 1000 men were
made prisoners, while in the Alt re-
gion, near Tigveni, ten additional Off
GERS and 400 men fell into the hands
of the Teutons.
In a big battle extending over a
front of about seventeen miles north
west and northeast of MOnastir, be-
tween Trnova and Makova, the entente
allies, according to Berlin, have met
with severe defeat through the fail
ure of an attack launched against the
lines of the central powers.
Aside from reports of the repulse OF
the Bulgarians by the Serbians and OF
continued progress for the Italians
west of Monastir, the entente allies
war offices record no impoRant
gains on the Macedonian front.
In the Carnia sector of the Austro-
italian theater and east of Gorilla the
Austrians are vigorously shelling the
Italians.
A semi-official dispatch from Berlin
quotes Constantinople advices to the
effect that Arabs on the Tripoli-Tunis
frontier in north Africa, have defeated
the Italians and carried the fight
across the border into Tunis against
