ROCK SPRINGS
WOOL IS SOLD
FOR 43 CENTS

The following clipping from the
last issue of The Rock Springs
Miner will prove of interest to the
woolgrowers of this section. show
ing as it does an active wool market
with bidders already in the field for
the 1924 clip:
A million and a quarter pounds
of the southwestern Wyoming 1924
wool clip were sold in Rock Springs
this week at prices ranging from
AZ cents to 43 cents. These sales
represent something more than one
half of the wool raised in this sec
ton and were made to representa-
tives of jeremiah Williams. Dewey
Gould, and Silberman Bros. As the
result of these sales, the hockmost-
ers of this section will receive some
thing like a hair million dollars to
tide them owe the summer.
Although only two of the clips.
Etcheverry Bros. and Gust Linden.
were sold for 43 cents, the remain
ing clips all sold for AZ cents. or
within a fraction of hat figure.
Other clips in this section are being
held for a higher price.
The wool was purchased on a basis
of the number of sheep to be shorn
anu lHe weight II estimated on the
usual average per fleece. AS this es-
innate is conservative. it is thought
that the weights will run over. rath-
er than under, the above figures.
Forty-two to forty-three cents Is
considered a very good price for
wool direct from the shearing pens
and the sales at this time will place
man. of II flockmasters in an in
dependent position for the coming
Year. A large portion of 1923 clip
of southwestern Wyoming was sold
only a few months ago at around
forty cents, this price including III
usual shrinkage, storage, insurance
and interest, amounting in all I
from two to three cents. BY con,-
p~arison with the 1928 clip, the SAL"
OF the 1924 clip this week, would be
ABOUT five cents higher.

Foundation, which was incorporated
on April 18th of last year. Jeffer-
sons birthday anniversary, to ac-
quire Monticello, Jefferson's home in
Albemarle County Virginia, and
maintain 1t as a permanent me-
mortal, accessible to the public, to
the author of the Declaration of In
dependence, plans to raise $1,000
900 by nation wide subscription for
this purpose.
Half of this amount is for the
purchase of the estate and the
other half for the establishment of
a fund for its maintenance. The
first payment OF the contract pur-
chase price has already been made,
the Board of Governors of the Foun-
dation having paid 500, 900 on De-
cember 1st last. With that pay
mentt the Board assumed supervision
of the are Of Monticello, the com
mittee appointed for this purpose be-
ing composed of Governor E. Lee
Trinkle of Virginia; United States
Senator Royal S. Copeland of New
York: and President Edwin A. Aid
erman of the University of Virginia.
Since that time all fees received
from visitors to the estate have been
turned over to the Foundation.
Governor Trinkle of Virginia has
recently appealed to the Governors
of all the states to interest the
school children of the country in the
jefferson Memorial. Jefferson was
the first great American to advocate
the cause of universal education and
has been called "the Father of the
Common school," 1t is considered
especially appropriate therefore that
the children in the schools should
participate in the establishment of
.ionticello as a memorial to Jaifer-
son and the suggestion has been
made that every child in every pub

cent toward this achievement. AS
he has suggested that the school

WAGE SCALE IS
SIGNED @
THREE YEARS

The news of the reaching of a
settlement between the b~itumunous
miners and the operators at Jack
sonville, Fla, the early part of last
week has proven gratifying to the
people OF Wyoming.
Tho conference was harmonious
and not a dissenting ote from the
operators or policy committee of the
miners was registered.
Monday morning came. after a
weeks deadlock among the oper-
ators, with little promise of settle
ment being near, as many held for
a short term contract, as against the
four-year term asked for by the
miners. hut Tuesday afternoon every
thing was settled, and at 2 p. IN. that
day the miners voted to accept the
t~hree-year clause. Immediately af-
ter this the miners and operators
went into conference and the sign
ing of the agreement between them
was only a formal procedure.
There is no change in the scale,
working conditions or hours. BY the
terms there are to be no state con
%ventions of miners. and the only
thing remaining to be done is to
ratify the agreement by referendum
vote of The miners, which is a mere
formality.
The negotiations were featured by
a splendid spirit of conciliation, and
everyone profcssed to be satisfied.
Both sides won a little and lost a
little, but good feeling prevailed.
The report of amicable settlement
vas received in Rock Springs with
deep qualification on the part of both
I operators and miners. and thus ia
the city industrial prosperity as
] sured. without interruption. for
three years. The removal of the
possibility o a strike in April is com
plete, and the beneficial effect on
the commercial life of this district
is sure to be immediate.

ceptable feature of diversified farm
ing in Minnesota. The soil and CHM
ate are proving suitable for sugar
beet culture. Besides the crop has
paid out splendidly, and especially
did the beet revenue look high in COM
parison with other crops under de-
pressed market conditions.
Another sugar factory will be built
next year in Minnesota unless the
tariff on sugar is lowered. This will
accommodate an additional 10000 acres
of beets. If the tariff recommends a
lowering of the sugar tariff undoubt-
eddy capital would hesitate to invest
in factory the coming year or until
the profits on the adjusted basis could
be determined.
In the several years that beets have
been raised around Morgan conditions
have been favorable and prices high,
and the growers as whole have been
well satisfied. There would have
been a much larger acreage here this
year if the company would have con-
tracted for more.
There are many who believe that
this years crop will on the average
pay out as good as the best, if not
establish new record for this COM
munity.

Doug. Stewart Out

The information that Douglas Stew
art is barred from any more inter.
collegiate athletics in which Carleton
College may take part was received
in great disappointment by his local
friends who have watched his work
as Carleton College star with much
interest. His disbarment shows how
serious to athletic hopes can be seem
ingly innocent play by college boys
who "help out the home boys" while
on vacations and thus are placed In
the professional class. In at least one
other case is a Redwood Falls boy
likely to reap the same whirlwind.
The Pioneer Press of Friday made
the following statement:
1t was the rule of the Midwest
conference and not state col
lege ruling under which Douglas
Stewart was. barred, according to
the statement made by Coach
Claude Hunt of Carleton this NOR
ming. Hunt gave out the follow
ing statement:
Douglas Stewart was declared
ineligible for the rest of the foot
ball season for the reason that
he played with an Independent
basketball team last Christmas
vacation at Redwood Falls.
Stewart did not receive any
money for his playing, and Meth
er did he play under an assumed
name, but the fact that date adj
mission was charged bars him.
Protest came from Hamline
authorities, and we are more than
anxious to live up to the rules in
the Midwest conference under
which the game is played, and for
that reason we declare Stewart
ineligible. / am of the opinion
that protests should come in a
little earlier than this one did,
and that the Hamline authorities
did not make a specific charge
against Stewart until Tuesday;
but there is no question but what
he is ineligible and we shall
make it our business to see that
he does not compete in intercol-
legiate athletics any more this
season." aoG,
