QUIET week IN
WOOL Circles
LANDING NEARLY OVER AND LATE
ShEARING ABOUT TO BEGIN.
UYERS ARE ACTIVE

Conditions in the Raw Inns wool
market during the past week NAV
pest be described a. quiet and firm"
FIhe-e nave been but two sales of
c~ons"qu"nr" reported. and both were
close at what is generally cOnsid-
ered Il good price. when percentage
OF various grades in the two clips is
taken mo consideration. The Sand
Creek Livestock company sold for IS
cents and tn" Bates Park Sheep com
pam! Of - rents. These Gins
weighed about 10000 and &C 1000
pounds respectively.
~pUbH"lt!an in these columns last;

who's" wool i, still unsold has caused
own =" "i such WOOL TO receive the
attentions Of many prospective buy
"rs Who ar" making headquarters in
!GiS ana who are active in en-
d~eavOring to secure additional wool
for their principals, provided they
and the owner can get together on
price. Several offers for unsold
clips are reported to have been
turned down by holders of wool.
The Landing is practically over al
though it will continue to some eX-
tent during the coming week, after
which sheering will be resumed. A
few of the smaller pens are nov
shcartng some small lots and the
Ferris pens will open the later part
of next week.
Local wool men are much inter
ested in reports from Casper tellin;
Of the litigation into which S. SLIDER,
man L. Sous. of Chicago. have been
forced recently over a transaction
which took place two years ago. al
which time they are alleged to have
abrogated ii contract to purchase the
Keystone and Mccarthy clips at S!
cents. The SHERMAN people are be
ing sued for the difference between
the amount finally realized for thi'
wool and the price which was orig
| inally agreed upon. The outcome o
this case is being watched with keel
interest here.
Another object of exceptional loca
interest is the next wool sale to b
held at Casper on the 18th. At thi
time a half million pounds Of tn
Natrona county pool will be place
on sale to the highest bidder. 1t
a reasonable conclusion that tn
price level set at this sale will have
tendency to fix a market value TO
Rawlins woods which are still un
o'clock.

the privilege Of this camp have been
coming in rapidly to the office of the
Republicans, there are still a few
vacancies. Due to a mis-print there
Is an erroneous impression as to the
amount of he camping fee. Each
boy will be required to pay a camp
ing fee of $500, instead of $500, as
was announced last week. Camp
Rotary will be managed on the prin-
cIp,e that while discipline is es-
sential, still there will be a maxi
mum of play and a minimum of
work and rules. Instruction will be
given in scouting and in first aid

c%ellence in athletics and proficiency
in other lines, and two weeks of
solid fun and development are as,

Camping Fee
Any boy who feels so inclined may
earn his camping fee. Provision ha.
been made by members of the loca
club to give employment to such
boys as are worthy which will en-.

by applying to Dean Philbrook. the

office.

easy hiking distance of the most
beautiful and picturesque scenery in
