found the very best men. who are
making every effort to enforce the
law.
"Of course the situation is bad. -
said Mr. Mellon. but that is Just what
we are trying to correct. There are
evidences where the law is apparently
not being enforced but it is because
there are such evidences that every
effort is being made by the admins

IMPORTED WOOLS
At HIGH FIGURE
600 Million Pounds Is Aver
age Annually Since The
War AS Against 500
Million Previous

Wool imported into the United
States approximated 1870 million
dollars in value in the fiscal year
just ended despite the fact that the
number of sheep in this country ex-
eeeds that of any other except China
and Australia Our wool eonsump-
tion, says the Trade Record Of The
National City Bank Of New York,
continues in excess of pre-war years,
having aggregated 53S mi1lio n
pounds in 1924 against an annual
average Of approximately 500 million
pounds in the decade preceding the
war
The demand Of the World War for
our own army and those Of other
parts of the world increased the use
of wool in our manufacturing indus
tries, and the figures Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture show that our
wool consumption in the war period
1914-19 averaged nearly 700 million
pounds per annum, dropping to an
average Of about 600 millions per an
mum since the war as against an an
nual average Of 500 millions per an
mum in the pre-war decade
The United States, says the Trade
Record, stands at the head Of the list
OF wool-consuming countries; a re-

that the United States Is the worlds

VILLAGE BOARD
Meeting TUESDAY
Different Water Regulations
Proposed Orders Casing
For Village
Well

A regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Village Trustees was held
at the Village Clerks Office last
Tuesday evening and after the pas
sage of the regular budget of claims
against the city, the following busi-
ness was transacted
S. D. Wilcox was hired to assist
the Water Superintendent in the
maintenance OF the system and to
aid at the pump. 1t is the plan of
the board to have Mr.. Wilcox at the
pump house until around eleven
o'clock to permit residents of the
city to use water for irrigation pur-
poses until around that time in the
evening. This is indeed a commend
able move on the part of the city
dads as considerable inconvenience
has been occasioned by the fact that
the water had to be turned off at
eight O'Clock.
According to a notice published
elsewhere in this issue sprinkling
will be permitted until ten o'clock
in the evening, commencing on Au-
gust T.
Work is progressing steadily at
the city WELL according to a report
made to the board by the driller. At
the present time the hole has been
reamed out down practically to
where the bit was lost and as soon
as the new casing is received actual
drilling operations will again be re-
sumed.

Distance From California to
Boise, Mountain Home
and Twin Fall Short
ened by Half

The proposed new highway, which
will leave the Old Oregon Trail at
Mountain Home and go down
through Bruneau, Wickahoney, Rid
die, Owyhee and White Rock, join
ing the Lincoln Highway at Tuscar-
ora, is receiving considerable atten-
tion at the present time The new
route of the North and South High
way, as it will undoubtedly be
named, has the support of state Of
ficials and in the near future will
likely be marked with the famous
orange signs Of the Sampson Trail.
Should this new route be estab-
lished, and in all likelihood it will
be, distances from California points
to Boise. Mountain Home and Twin
Falls will be reduced by half over the
present Salt Lake route over the Lin
coin Highway and via Pocatello. As
an indication of distances. over this
proposed road from Mountain Home
" A2et@A a ID y l. AAAAANns 40OAD1t
61s miles; Twin Falls, 667; and
Yellowstone National Park, $50
miles. There is a saving to these
points over the Portland route of 577
miles to Mountain Home; Boise, $50
miles; Twin Falls, GA miles; and
Yellowstone, 624 miles.
Mountain Home people in general
should cooperate with those foster
ing this move in every detail, for
should the change be made it will
increase tourist travel through this
city about one hundred per cent.
The matter of the designation of
the Nevada end of the road as
state highway by that state will be
taken up in the near future and it
is hoped that some material improve
ment to the road may be expected
from that end.

TAR BRANDING
IS HARMFUL
Tar Softens During Wash
ing and Spreads Among
Wool Fibres Instead
of Being Absorbed

Some woolgrowers in the West
have been using tar and other objec-
tional paints for branding their
sheep. Tar softens during the scour-
ing process and spreads among the
wool fibres instead of being absorbed
by the washing liquor The injury
to the wool is causing wool manufac-
turers immeasurable difficulty. 1t re-
duces the value of the wool, and the
prejudice of wool dealers and manu-
facturers will result in lower prices
to the growers in the locality or re-
gion where such branding is prac-
ticed There are sheep-branding
fluids on the market that dissolve
readily in the securing process, and
it will be to the advantage of wool
growers as well as wool manufactur-
ers to use such preparations.
Some ranchmen have raised the
question as to whether the brand
marks made from a liquid that will
scour out of the wool will keep the
sheep properly identified The Unit
ed State Department of Agriculture
has been branding thousands of its
range sheep for many years, and it
has found that the right kind Of
branding liquid is satisfactory for
the identification of the
sheep This has also been the ex-
perience of many successful ranch
men
