Wool Growers Find Good
Market by Shipping to Portland

Portland-With wool contracting for
the 1916 clip just starting in the East
ern counties, the last remnant of the
1915 clip is being sold here. The
Portland Wool Warehouse company has
not over 40, 900 pounds in its ware
house on Municipal Dock No. /, and
that is all the wool that is left in Port
land.
The bulk of these wools were
sold at from 81 cents to 22a cents for
fine and 26 to 80 cents for coarse wool,
according to condition and shrinkage.
1.-THE prices realized" said W. L..
Grove, manager of the company, "are
from cents to cents better than
were offered in the country for the
same woods. The growers are more
than satisfied with their experiment
of sending their wools here to be mar
keted, and it is safe to say much
larger quantity will be sent here dur
ing the coming season.
"We have sold wool to about II diff
ferent customers, a dozen of whom
never operated in this section before.
We have had inquiries from dozen
other big Eastern mills, and although
we did not close deals with them we
are looking forward to their trade in
new wools.
"Our object is to improve the condi-
tion of the woolgrowers and put
them all on an equal basis. By avail
ing himself of cheap money, which he
could never do before, the grower is
enabled to hold his wool until he is
ready to sell. All the wool consigned
here is sold only with the approval Of
the growers. 1t is different when the
wool is consigned to the East, for it
then gets beyond the owners control. I"

No Logs: Dallas Mill Idle.

Dallas-For the first time in several
months, the large sawmill plant Of the
Willamette Valley Lumber company,
in this city, is clsoed. This is due to
the shortage of logs. Owing to the
heavy snow storms of the past month,
work has been impossible in the camps
near Black Rock. The supply of logs
on hand when the snow stopped opera
tions is exhausted.
All camps are now in full operation,
and by the middle of next week the
mill will resume again. Only few
of the men were laid off, most of them
being employed in repairing the plant,
which has capacity of 100, 900 feet
day.

Stock Go to Bunch Grass.

Baker - Hope for relief from the
threatened further loss of livestock be-
cause of lack of feed is reported from
parts of this vicinity. Horses and
cattle are leaving their straw and hay
for the bunchgrass. In the vicinity of
North Powder, where the snow was
unusually heavy, it is reported that it
is melting and that it will not be long
before the grass starts growing if
present conditions continue.
John Day stockmen expect that con-
ditions that have been very threaten
ing will improve so that livestock
there will be able to begin feeding
early next month.

Playground Sale Likely.

Eugene - Within the next few days
petitions will be circulated in Lane
county to authorize the purchase of
the Lane County Fair grounds by the
county for the sum of $50, 900. The
property is owned by the Lane County
Agricultural society, an organization
of Eugene business men, and has been
leased from year to year for fair pur-
poses. The arrangement has proven
unsatisfactory and it is proposed to
purchase the property outright.
The question will be placed on the
ballot at the primary election in May.

Market Roads Disc ussed.

Milwaukee, Or.-Market roads were
discussed at the meeting Of Milwaukee
Grange Saturday afternoon, the main
address being delivered by c. B. Han
son, master. Mr.. Hanson suggested
that main market roads can be built by
district assessments to be paid for
partly by the abutting property, and
the balance by a district extending
from one to two miles from each side
of the road. Mr.. Hanson urged the
enactment Of law by which farmers
may form road districts and take con-
troll of the district road construction.

 "The north entrance to its harbor marked by a lighthouse perched on the crest of an eninence called Cerro del Creston, making it one of the loft jest guides to navigation in the world, Mazatlan is the chief entrepot for one one of the richest mining sections of the southern republic. It not only ex- ports the gold and silver from it's own immensely wealthy state of Sinaloa (estimated by some experts to have the most valuable minereaI deposits in Mexico) but it also handles the ore shipments by sea of Zacatecas and Durango.
 '"The.city, which has a population of 10000 is situated on a small penin- sula opposite the Bay of Olas Atlas (H1gh Waves), and is surrounded by cocoanut groves.

 made it evident that he does not. be- Iieve in rushing into needless war, which of course is the opinion of. the country[ and one which he has mani fested in the carrying out of his watchfuI waiting policy. He has held that it is better, to convince than to conquer but thus far little or no prog ress has been made, but his purpose at the present time in spite of the fact that his efforts to bring Mexico around to his way of thinking has peeh an uCteE Aa41ufes appedrS lo De to use every means for avoiding war.
