ELKO SHEEPMEN GET
GOOD PRICE FOR WOOL

Thirty-five cent wool in this Sec
ton, long dreamed of by the sheep
men, has finally become a reality. The
entire 1917 clip of the Steptoe Live
stock company and the Ok Yoke com
pany has been contracted for at this
remarkable price. Fl. A. Agee, presi-
dent Of the two companies, made the
statement few days ago that the
Steptoe and the Ok Yoke companies

have disposed of their entire pro-
duct for this year to Kosland & Son,
among the leading wool merchants
of Boston, at the contract price of
35 cents a pound.
Harry Dunn, who is buying for
kosland q Son, was here few days
ago and closed the deal, making a
very substantial advance payment as
a binder.
The number of sheep to be sheared
will be about 10000, and the clip
will weigh between lao 900 and 150-
900 pounds.
VIM. Johnson, of Glover valley, has
also disposed of his 1917 clip to the
same firm at the price of forty cents
per pound. His product is what is
known among sheepmen as ranch
clip" which grade of wool always
brings higher prices This clip will
come from about 700 sheep of a
high grade Hamshire.
The sale of the Steptoe and Ok
Yoke clips from range sheep, so Mr.
Agee asserts, is the best ever made
in this state. Mr.. Agee also states
that the losses of livestock during the
past winter have been very light
Even the sheep have wintered well

Torpedo. Boat pestroyers.

Most people are familiar with the
ordinary torpedo-boat, swift vessel
of from 400 to GOO tons in displace-
ment, carrying no defensive armor,
but armed with tubes for discharging
the deadly torpedoes. To counteract
these wasps of the sea, type Of ves-

tubes, armed with rapld-fre six to
twelve-pounder guns, for the avowed

Lately all the great nations have
stopped building torpedo-boats, as
originally designated, and are building

that torpedo-boat destroyers are used
almost wholly as torpedo-boats. So,
