SERIOUS CHARGE MADE AGAINST
 PRISON BOARD Little Rock Man Alleges Proposed Purchase of Land "Smacks of Craft COURT IS ASKED
 TO ENJOIN DEAL
Complainant Charges Land Not Worth More Than $1O an Acre, and That Commission Intends to Use $5,OOO
 for Exposition Exhibit Expense.

Little Rock, Aug. 19.-Hearing on the petition of R. R. Mcintosh, a real estate dealer of Little Rock, for an order restraining the penitentiary commission from purchasing 1,340 acres of land in Jefferson county from the Missouri Life Insurance company will be held before Chancellor Mar tineau Monday, the chancellor an- nounced today.
 Members of the prison commission resent the charges made in the Mc1n- tosh complaint.
 "The charges made against this commission" John T. Burkett, secre- tary of the commission, said, "are groundless. and I for one will demand that Mr. Mcintosh endeavor to prove them" The complaint, filed by Oscar Vim, acting for Mir. Mcintosh, said the proposed purchase of the land "smacked of graft"
 Saturday morning the case was set for ii o'clock, but Chancellor J. T.. Martineau was busy with another case and it was continued until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Mir. Vim said he expected to file an amended com plaint, setting up further allegations as to the value of the land the con- mission proposed to purchase, and containing exhibits. He also said he would ask for a continuance of week or ten days in which to pre- pare to submit proof.
 Charges Effort to Pay Political Debt.
 The complaint charged that the commission was without power, legal ly, to purchase the land, and that the commission expected to pay $50 an acre for the land when it's real value was not more than $10 an acre. The commission has been negotiating for the land for $40 an acre, MT. Burkett said. instead of $50, as set fortE in the complaint.
 Completion of the deal would give the commission $5,0OO in which to pay off "politioal debts" in connection with the Arkansas exhibit at the Pan- ama-Pacific exposition at San Fran cisco, the complaint stated.
 That part of the complaint appar- ently was an echo of negotiations TOT the farm in Jefferson county already owned by the state. When the con- mission was first negotiating for new farm one stipulation to prospec- tive sellers was that $5.O00 of the bonds the commission would issue in having for the farm were to be turned over to the exposition commission, to he used as collateral to secure defi- cit incurred through operation or the Arkansas exhibits.

 suited LabOr's Head.

The breeding and careing OF the
flock prior to shearing has much u
do with the amount OF sorting neces
sary, but it is safe to say the WOO
from any band can be put into two
classes, long and short. The fine
wool should be kept from the Cross
bred. or coarse wool, and be classed
as long and short.
Originally the range sheep Of The
Northwest We're practically all MeriuC
Now many OF the breeding ews are
| composed OF Merino, of pure breed
ing, and crossbreds OF the various
mutton breeds, ali bearded and bred
together as a matter Of convenience.
Breeding for mutton lambs has been
the means OF bringing into existence
so many grades of wool that few, if
any, of the growers could classify
them.
The method used for classifying
OF wool in the above mentioned local
lty last season, was done in the fol-
lowing manner: The band was placed
In corral where they were given
their summer band brand; the ewes
going into chute three and one-half
feet wide by one hundred feet long.
When the chute was filled the d.
viding OF the lambs from the ewes
was stopped, while the wool classers,
two men working side by side, went
through the ewes, opening the wool
in various places to ascertain the
length OF staple and grade. The ewes
carrying short or otherwise inferior
fleeces We're marked ON the head with
blue chalk. The ewes carrying coarse
or crossbred fleeces We're marked on
the back with blue chalk. The ewes
carrying long, fine wool, were not
marked at all.
At the end of this narrow chute
near the shearing shed, was another
dividing gate; the chalked sheep go
Ing into pen and the unparked
sheep with long, fine wool going into

AS the season approaches for the

The fact that foreign countries,

similar quality to ours at better

To be absolutely sure that none OF
the black wool or dung tags get In the
sacks that contain the main clip, 1t

Where this is not possible, 1t may
