lhat short of special kinds of wool
snch as come from Australia and New
Zealand and that it would be feasible
to ship these quantities to Boston for
auction. The British Government. as
you have been previously informed.
had asked II this Government had any
Direction to sale of this charcter. to
which reply was made both by the
stat Department and this Department
toi commerce. that no objection could
be offered in view of the fact that wool
rs permitted by law TO come into the
United States at present without duty
and without any embargo. You an
pfeciate, ! am sure. that wool has
been coming in steadily during the
past year in thoroughly large quanti-
ties. The statistics for the period
January to Augnsti shows that 244.-
o5l5iS pounds Of wool were imported
into the United States. Without spe-
cal legislation it would be impossible
to prevent the British Government do
ing what Is already being done by the
wool brokers in large quantities.
The wool manufacturers say that
the kind of wool grown in Australia
and New Zealand shipped here. that
Is, certain kinds of fine merino, are
not grown in the United States. 1t
mas long been customary for the trade
TO use certain quantity of this fine
wool from Australasia The wool
manufacturers cannot 90 ahead and
take orders for woolen cloth without
having made arrangements for obtain
ing special raw material. They say
that unless SUPPLIES of this particular
Kind of wool from Australasia were
assured they would not be able to go
ahead and manufacture certain kind
Of cloths which are demanded by the
trade. In view of the very high price
TO which all wooden cloth has gone. it
would seem to be unreasonable to
place obstacles in the way of importa-
tion OF the special raw material al
ready permitted by law to come in.
The attitude of this Department is in
accord with tina. expressed in letter
from the President. a copy of which
was sent You under date of August Is.
in which he said i do not think that
lany real disseryice is being done the
members Of the Wyoming Wool Grow
ers' Association by the action of the
Government in the matter OF faciitat
ing the importation Of fine wools from
Australia Il seems to me that, as
you say. in view of the pressing neces-

MAY DIG FOR
CORNERSTONE
Of OLD HALL

The laying OF the corner stone
=, the Masonic Temple at this place
,as, Saturday, recalled to memory a
.,milar event that took place in Genoa
some fifty years ago, at the time the
O. O. F. hall was built there. The
.orner stone was laid with public
ceremony. A few residents still re-
siding at Genoa, remember the event,
hut their memory is hazy as to the ex-
act date. The lodge was instituted in
,sss and the hall was probably built
n few years later. For nearly half a
centry that lodge continued its career
and then came the great fire of some
wars ago that destroyed the hall,
court house and in fact wiped out a
greater portion Of the business part
~ town. Today the lot Is a mass of
broken brick. a grim memory of what
was once big building. The corner
stone, as laid by the Odd Fellows
some fifty years ago. remains intact
as far as Is known. As near as old
timers can remember, the corner stone
was laid on the south east corner of
the building.
After the fatal fire the Genoa lodge
consolidated with Gardnerville and
the members OF the order. or numb
er OF them at leat, have proposed that
on some future date. all members
meet at Genoa and endeayor to locate
the old stone for the purpose Of Sc
curing the papers and records that
we're deposited that they may be pre-
served by the Odd Fellows.
The lot is now owned by j. l..
Campbell. and the members feel cer-
tain that he will grant the right to
dig In the old ruins for the purpose
OF uncovering the stone.
