In ancient Scotland rival noble

always at war with each other. One

these clans, with all his men, came
pounding at Glamis Castle for
shelter. They were seeking to es-
cape from their enemies.
The earl admitted them and led
them into a deep dungeon chamber
where he said they would be safe
from harm and from all attempts
at search. The giant locks were
turned; bolts were fastened; bars
put up. The little band of fleeing
warriors were penned up forever
The earl had likewise been their

flat cut Of so percent in cOmpen-
satiOn insurance rates. The re-
solution recited the bureau had
more than a million dollars of
funds, and called upon them to
reduce their surplus. Commits

the surplus is required by law.
The house approved in com.
mittee of the whole II. b. 222,
putting motor transportation
companies operating between
cities regularly, under the con-
troll of the railroad commission.
The state senate, taking up some
of it's most important bills at last
nights session, voted to liquidate
the Home Building Association,
passed bills to strengthen the
hands of the Guaranty Fund Com
mission and passed a bill for a con-
stitutional amendment permitting
the issuance of bonds for the build
ing Of dormitories at state insti-
tutions.
The vote for liquidation of the
Home Building Association was 27
to Il. a straight party vote. The
senate previously had repealed the
bill authorizing the bond issue for
this association. The house vot-
ed in favor Of bill creating a de-
ficit tax for this association. With
action taken in both houses indi-
eating the attitude of the major
ity, it appears certain that this
state enterprise will be entirely
abolished.
Senator Baker, Nonpartisan,
proposed an amendment to the
liquidation bill providing that in

LOCAL SHEEP MEN
TO POOL ALL WOOL.

In past years many local men have
experienced some difficulty in mar
keting their wool, owing to the small
ness of the Individual clips. There is
not enough wool to get much compe-
titiOn among the wool buyers, and
hence in some cases growers had to
take about what they were offered.
A few of the larger flockmasters in
the valley have gone in together and
shipped in car load lots, but as a
whole the marketing of the small clips
in the valley has been more or less
unsatisfactory.
Last winter the old Gallatin County
Sheep and Wool-Growers' Association
was revived, and az a result of the
activities of this association contracts
have been signed by a majority of
the flockmasters in the valley to ship
their spring clip to the National
Wool Warehouse and Storage Com
pany, of Chicago. A representative
of the company spent a day in the
valley last week, conferring with local
sheepmen and getting contracts
signed.
The warehouse company reports the
brightest prospects for business in its
history. Approximately two million
fleeces have been contracted to the
company, almost the capacity of the
plant, and because of this fact the
company's books will be closed or
May 10.
Officers of the local sheep associa-
ton are: G. M. Lewis, president; A
E. Westlake, vice president; G. w
DariintOn, secretary-treasurer, with
W. E. Harmon and R. ]. Pasha as
members of the executive committee
