the British government made co.

ian wool last year and thus far in
1920. Replying TO charges that both
the government and the Yorkshire
spinncrs had made excessive profits,
Sir Arthur Goldfihch. chairman OF
the Wool Council Of the Ministry OF
Munitions, told representative of
the Evening Standard that 1t was
true the government was reselling
marfno and cross-bTed wool from
Australia and New Zealand at a price
"vory much higher" than the basic
price at which IL was purchased.
1T was clearly understood. he
said. that when the wool was no
longer needed for military purposes
It should be sold at market rates
and The dominIons should receive
one-holf of the profit. Australia and
New Zealand are clearly entitled to

OF wool are considerably cheaper
than titss were during the war, and
almost the same as they were six
years ago.
There has been great run on

now being consumed more rapidly
than they are grown. and a great
rise in price was natural and almost
Inevitable"
Yorkshire spinners say that they
simply could not help making prof

enters the great plain which would
be irrigated by the stored water. Ar
tic!es of incorporation have been fill

campaign to raise $4,000 for pre-
liminary work required before the
construction of dam at the point
where the Yellowstone river leaves
the lake can be undertaken.
Besides constructing a dam at an
expenditure OF about 100000, to
store a million acre-feet OF flood wa

portion the water in the Yellowstone
river, organize irrigation districts
