Wool Pool Sold
At Good Prices.
Boston Firm Buys 3OO,-
600 Pounds at 20
Cents.

Three hundred thousand pounds of
wool, pooled by farmer members of
the Boise Valley Wool Growers as
ISOLATION, was sold last week to Bos-
ton firm. The price ranged from IS
cents for coarse wool to % cents for
fine wool, the average price being
about 20 cents. OF the total ship
ment, abouS 100000 went from Cald-
we'll where it has been stored at the
Knowlton warehouse.
This shipment comprises the 1920
and 1921 clips. Repeated of offers for
the pool base been submitted in the
past but the price has always been
unsatisfactory. The sale price is re-
garded as being entirely favorable.
One feature of the shipment is the
fact that it left the Boise Valley for
Portland by rail and will be shipped
by boat from there to Boston.

NAN|PA DISTRICT
BEHIND BUREAU
Membership Campaign
Progressing Favor
ably Everywhere.

If the sentiment manifested at the
educational meetings being conducted
by the Farm Bureau in the south end
of Canyon county is representative of
the opinions of the people as a whole
the communities tributary to Nampa
will roll up as big proportion in the
Farm Bureau as any others in the
county. Meetings have been held in
the Bowmont and Melba communities.
Both meetings were well attended and
interest taken in the subjects discussed
was unusually keen.
"The farmers in this section of the
county have heretofore not had clear
idea of just what the Farm Bureau is
attempting to d." said NJ. E. Jeg-
lum, community chairman of the Ben
nett district in discussing the drive.
Practically every farmer in this end
of the county will join the Bureau as
soon as they become convinced that
the Bureau is strictly a farmers or
ganization and that it is going to en-
ploy itself industriously and syste-
matically to the solution of present
day farm problems. Fortunately as
result of'the membership drive and
educational campaign being conducted
by the Bureau our farmers are rapid
ly coming to. realization of the real
scope and activities of the Bureau
Because of this the sign up in thu
Bureau is exceeding our expectations
and we expect to reach our full quot;
of members to our organization h,
the middle of the present month"

First Real Test Comes
Thursday Evening; fast
Bouts are Predicted by
Followers of Sport.

The College of Idaho graplers will
get their first real test Thursday eve
ming, January 10, when they meet the
strong Caldwell high school wrestling
team at 8 o'clock in the high school
gymnasium. This dual meet promises
plenty of excitement for the sporting
fans as the college appears to have
some excellent prospects for this sea-
sons team and the high school team
possesses several wrestlers of ability.
Seven classes will be contested rang
ing from IFS pounds to us pounds.
Wrestling will be under the Pacific
conference rulings adopted this year
which provide for seven minute bouts,
best two out of three, to a fall or de-
cision. The lighter classes will be
contested first followed by the heavier
weights.
Pete Kimm, popular high school
boy, is scheduled to tangle in the first
bout of the evening in the IFS pound
class against Chiffon Bryant. Both
boys competed last year against Boise
high school and this bout as the start
er of the evening should be an eye
opener Eddie Springer, college, again
st Lester Cup, high school, in the 135
pound class also gives promise of a
fast bout Ralph Boal, college, and
Shorty Martin, high school, are mat
ched in the l40 pound class.
Coach Carroll Atkinson has not an
nounced yet who will represent til,
college in the las pound class but i
will be between Paul Nichols ane
Walter Bassett to see who will op
pose Jay Ross, high school. Free
Robinson, college, and Ted Allison
are pitted against each other in tn
$50 pound class. Clarence Mccall
high school, will stack up against Irv
ing Cornell, college, in the 158 poun'
class. "
The big bout of the evening vii
probably occur in the light heavy
weight division where Shelby Whit
tier, recognized champion of Caldwell
and coach of the high school team
will tackle Jim Jackson of the co,leg
team. The title of city champion be
sides the points in the meet, is a
stake in this bout. Whittier, as It'll
holder, is naturally the favorite t
win this bout but will have to go a
top speed in ordet to accomplish thi
end This is Jackson's first year a
the game but he possesses all the ea
marks of a conner and has chance t
dump his younger although more OK
perienced opponent.
Points are scored in dual meets on.
by the winners of each class. Whe
) either of the bouts has been won t
. fall, it will count for eight points
. When both bouts are won by dec
sfons, six points are given to the wir
: ming team. The bouts are run o
two classes at time and as one elias
: is decided the next lighter class
started.

LONDON, Dec. 24-What the trav-

at the annual meeting Of the Orient
Steam Navigation Company, IN which
he surveyed some OF the problems
with which steamship owners are
wrestling.
Regarding complaints made both
here and in Australia alleging de-
fciency in steamship services, he con-
tended that on long runs. such az those

the same time he pointed out that
two Orient liners OF greater dimen-
sions than any hitherto employed on
the Australian route arc to be built
Orders for these liners are placed now
because prices are again In a region
that Is reasonable. he added.
The same question was taken up
from a different angle at the annual
dinner given by the Anchor Line, when
J. Foster King. chief surveyor OF the
British corporation, spoke Of develop
ments in the size. Of ships. lie said
that harbor authorities are asking what
are to be the biggest ships Of the fu-
ture and naval architects are asking
ship owners what they will require
for the future. In his view ports con-

Is that IL Ia necessary 20 aim at a

Europe's Three
Foremost Ports
In Keen Contest
Hamburg and Rotterdam Re
gain Pre-War Positions;
Antwerp Drops Behind;
Canal Competition Factor
By wireless TO The Tr,SuS.

Copyright, 1873 Rev York Tribune Inc
BERLIN, Dec. 2A.-The shipping
world is watching with interest the
rivalry between Hamburg, Antwerp
and Rotterdam, the three leading
ports Of northwestern Europe. which
since the end Of the war has been re-
sumed with oId-time zeal. Figures for
the hrst half Of 1922 show that Rot
terdam and Hamburg have reached
their pre-war records, while Antwerp
Is tagging behind.
Rotterdam thus remains as the keen
est competitor Of Hamburg because
Of the advantage Of the Rhine outlet,
over which a great part Of west Ger
man trade Is carried. The value Of
the Rhine 20 Rotterdam Is shown by
the fact that in i9i2-iei3 72 per cent
OF the goods arriving in Rotterdam
from western Germany really con-
sisted OF goods consigned f,r ship
ment back Into Germany. This trade
was AZ a standstill during the war,
but Rotterdam has now recovered "a
per cent Of II, especially the ore which
the great German foundries are i'm
porting from Canada.
The greatest loss suffered by Rot
terdam during the war was In coal
shipments, Dutch ships which returned
10 Holland with Ruhr coal after bring
ing goods down the Rhine being virtu-
ally eliminated. II is q question, how
ever, whether Hamburg will be able 20
keep frst place. For the moment II has
the advantage Of ehenpness, while the
German governments railroad rate
policy Is intended 70 help Hamburg
overcome the advantage Of Rotterdam
inRhine communications. The future
OF this rivalry depends upon the de-
velopment Of German exchange. for
the more the mark improves the great
er will be trade by Rotterdam.
The heaviest blow by Hamburg
against Rotterdam will come with the
completion OF the Hsnsa Canal. which
will divert a large part Of the Rotter-
dam transit trade. especially coal and
