HEALTH NOTES.

The tuberculous individual VINO is

the health Of those about him and ne
should be kindly infromed that 1t is
his duty to refrain from exposing 9th
ers to the dread disease, that he should
use every precaution to prevent Its
spread.
Il is sincerely hoped and believed
that the members Of the present ses-
sion Of the Idaho legislature will take
an advanced position in the matter of
tuberculosis sanatoria and provide for
two such institutions, one in the north :
ern and one in the southern part of the
state. BY SO doing they would erect
two monuments to their credit and
make It possible to save many human
lives and prevent great economic loss
to the state. From reports at land It
lis estimated that there are about SITE
tuberculous people in Idaho and the
need of institutions In which to prop
erly treat and segregate them Is imper-
alive IL we are to affect any cures,
arrest the disease In other cases and
protect those who are Neutrality-suspicious..

SHEAR|NG PRICE IS
FIXED AT Il CENTS
Wool Growers Of Utah, Idaho
and Oregon Agree on Rate to
Pay Shearers, Says Presi-
dent Of Association.

Fourteen cents per head is the price
which Utah. Idaho and Oregon wool
growers will pay for shearing sheep
this spring, and the shearers are to
board themselves.
This price has been agreed upon by
representatives from the different as
sociations and the growers will stand
by it unqualifiedly.
The above statement was made this
morning by Hugh Sproat, president of
the Idaho Woolgrowers' association.
who has been in conference with mem
bers of the associations Of the other
two states He says the woolgrowers
feel that the price is fair one, owing
to the uncertain conditions of the in
dustry regarding business and the sur
plus Of labor now in the country.
He advises that the woolgrowers
learned that the shearers in Arizona
have refused to go to work for less
than 20 cents per head. and that the
action of the northwest growers was
forced by reason of the demand in the
southern state.
Shearing will start early In March,
If weather conditions are favorable.
announced Mr.. Sproat, and further, he
stated, most of the big sheep outfits
propose to shear by hand in order to
shear near their feeding pens, and also
to avoid the possibility of losing sheep
from cold storms, which is often the
case where sheep are shorn by ma
chimes.
Concerning the flocks, Mr.. Sproat
states they are in better condition this
spring than for many years. and
weather conditions are ideal for the
range, but have been bad for lambing
as the late storm has caused the lamb
ing sheds to get wet and muddy and
the snow Is hard on young lambs.
