SOLD SOME $1,000 WORTH OF
WOOL.

G. ]. Hall, the Lucille sheepman, was
in the city this week, returning from
Lewiston where he disposed of his
spring clip of wool. He went from
here to his home Sunday. The Trib-
une, in speaking of the wool sale,
says:
The C. ]. Hall wool clip of 25,000
pounds was sold yesterday to L. @.
Moody, buyer for Eisemann Bros,
Boston, the price being a little better
than 27 cents. This is probably the
best price paid for clip of any con-
siderable quantity in the Lewiston
country this season. The Hall wool
was sold last season for % cents and
the market is now about five cents
better than a year ago.
The Hall stock ranch is on the up
per Snake river and his wool product
is of the best quality. Mr.. Hall also
enjoys the reputation of marketing the
cleanest wool brought into the Lewis
ton market, special attention being
given to throwing out the foul wool
when the fleeces are tied.
Mr.. Moody also purchased the clip
of w. G. Halsey, of Asotin county yes
terday, this amounting to 3o,o00
pounds. The Halsey wool Is OF good
quality but Mr.. Halsey was unfortun-
ate in having his clip in a heavy rain
storm this season and there is con-
siderable water still in the bags. The
price paid for the Halsey wool was
about % cents.
The two purchases made by Mr..
Moody amounted to a little better
than $4,000. There are only three
clips of any considerable quantity re-
naming in the Lewiston warehouse,
they being: John Platt l2,OOO
pounds; Mackey Bros, 1900 pounds
and Ben Reeves, 1900 pounds.

JAY RHOADES' CAR TURNED
TURTLE,

Word was brought to Grangeville
to the effect that Jay Rhoades, the
well known stockman of the Pollock
country, met with an accident to his
auto last week, which might have
proven much more serious than it did.
Mr.. Rhoades was on his return home
from Boise, where he had gone In his
car after his daughter, when at one
of the siding places in our famous
state road" took a slide and a lurch
and rolled down the embankment some
thirty feet, the occupants being pretty
badly bruised up, bur sustaining no
fatal or permanent injuries. A road
will have to be built to get the car out.

NORTH-SOUTH HIGHWAY
ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED

In response to a call issued by DIR.
l.. ., Perkins, president of the Lewis
ton Charleston Valley Automobile asso-
cation, for a meeting of those inter
ested in organizing for the promotion
OF the north and south highway and
good roads In general, there was a
representative gathering at Lewiston
on Tuesday Of this week, Idaho county
sending a very strong delegation.
Ihere was considerable sparring in
dulged in at the afternoon session, due
largely to lack of organization by
the promoters of the meeting, and the
fact that things had apparently been
afterwards talked of with interested
parties that were not incorporated in
the call issued by DIR. Perkins. This
caused considerable confusion and de-
bate, but 1t was largely Strengthened
out by adherence to the purpose of the
original call to organize a north and
south highway association, and the in
PRODUCTION of side resolution recon-
mending the Missoula highway to the
Forest service for construction.
After the debate had somewhat sub
sided a motion was made by w. w.
Brown, of Grangeville, for the appoint
ment by the chair of committee COM
posed of five delegates from each coun-
ty for the purpose of formulating some
plan of procedure for the evening meet
ing that permanent organization
might be effected. This motion carried
and the following committee was ap-
pointed:
Clearwater county-Dr. Givens, f.
A. Jones, Sampson Snyder, e. II. Hink-
ley, A. e. Holmberg.
Lewis cOunty-John. f. Pomeroy
A. Kaline, Press Ragan, G. G. Pen

H. Bundy, r. S. Erb, ]. T. Ray, VIM
BoZarth.
Latah county,. j. Day.
Adams county-A. b. Lucas of New
Meadows.
Washington county,. l. Purcell
Weiser.
At the evening meeting the first bust
ness was to receive the report of the
committee on organization.
1t was the sense of the committee
that a president be named, and sec
retary- treasurer, to which officers DIR
l.. J. Perkins and Mrs. Jessie Adam
secretary of the Lewiston Commercial
club, were elected by a unanimous
vote. 1t was the further sense of the
committee that each county repre-
sented at the meeting be allotted q
presidency, and that these vice
presidents, together with the presi
dent of the association, constitute al
executive committee. This was car
ried, and the following vice-presidents
named:
John T. Ray, Lewiston, for Nez
Perce county; e. l.. Parker, Cotton
wood, Idaho county; G. G. Pennell
NeZperce, Lewis county; Sampson
Snyder, Orofino, Clearwater county.
1t was further decided that every
municipality in the counties interested
should have a representative on the
board, the same to be appointed by the
vice president of the county in Which
the town is located.
A resolution was introduced by Il.
Erb and adopted by the meeting recon
mending to the national agriculture
department the construction of tht

TAKES STOCK no NEW RANCH.

III,
@. w. Brockman, who recently
bought the stock ranch formerly own
ed by Hal G. Brown and located near
higgins Hot Springs, left last week
with big bunch of cattle to be placed
on the summer range. This range
which is located along the headwaters
OF little Slate creek comprises several
thousand acres of the finest meadow
bottom in Idaho. 1t is so completely
isolated that Mr.. Brockman will have
plenty of territory for his 45O head
OF cattle to range on without the
slightest interference from other cat
tlemen. The hunting and fishing in
these parts is the finest to be found
anywhere and billie" will sure
fare sumptuously as soon as the deer

companied on the trip by his brother

others.
