SHEEP MEN HELD
WOOL TOO LONG

How Is Humboldt County sheep
men signed a contract which may
lose many thousands of dollars to
them is being told, with prospects of
lower prices prevailing in every COM
munity. These Is men agreed not
to sell their wool clips this year at
prices less than so cents a pound.
Many times they have been offered
more than fifty cents, but always re-
fused. With a break in the Boston
wool market, forcing prices down
twenty per cent, these men now find
no markets at all for their wool and
prospects of finally receiving much
less than SO cents per pound they
have been offered.
1t is estimated that more than half
of Humboldt County's wool clip has
already been sold or contracted for
at prices between SO and 60 cents

said the stuff is being struggled into

able odor of good old Scotch pervad-
ed the air, and a crowd gathered. The
man did not wait to explain, but left
without ceremony, deserving his eggs,
basket and all, when the traffic po-

THE eggs proved to be filled with
liquor and carefully sealed. The
customs Inspector afterwards testified
that he had noticed a great increase

For more than two thousand
years. says a writer in the New York
Evening Post. carrier pigeons have
been used to carry messages when no
other means sufficed. and during the
siege Of Paris in 1871, when 363
birds were tent out from the city, one
bird performed the almost incredible
feat Of carrying to the outside world.
in one trip. no fewer than 10000
messages averaging twenty words
each. This IA 100000 words, or
the equivalent of FIVE or six average
novels"
This was accomplished by means OF
microscopic photography. the mes
sages being first printed with ordin-
airy type and then photographed and
Photographed until they had been
reduced several hundred diameters.
The final photographs were taken on
films or pellicles of collodion. each Of
which. about two inches square. con-
tanned $4,000 words. A dozen Of
these films, rolled up in a quill,
weighed but n twenty-eighth OF an
ounce. and the messages could. Of
course, be read with a microscope.
without the necessity of rephoto-
graphing and enlarging.
Under favorable conditions, and for
comparatively short distances, pig
cons have carried as much as three
quarters of an ounce. Using the pho
to-reduction method, 1t would there
fore be possible for a single bird to
carry messages equal in words to no
fewer than 100 ordinary volumes.
Carrier pigeons were extensively
used during the recent war in Eu-
rope, and again proved their worth.
Many other methods of sending mes
sages have been discovered in recent
times, but the pigeons will doubtless
continue to be used for that purpose
for centuries to come.
