time for the adjournment of the
Thirteenth Wyoming Legislature the
senate deadlocked the session in a
refusal to concur in the insertion in
the general appropriation bill for
$4,000 to pay the expenses of the
immigration commission Tor the next
two years. The deadlock was not
broken until every effort had been
exhausted to poll the necessary two
thirds vote for the suspension of the
rules and the placing of the general
appropriation bill on final passage.
Shortly after four o'clock the at
tempt was abandoned resulting in the
elimination Of the $24, 900 item. With
this expurgation the bill passed. 1t

The price of wool if anything is
still on the advance, and those Wy
oming producers who, last summer,
sold for fifteen cents a pound, would
have realized good interest on their
money IL they had not sold until now.
The Boston Wool Journal says: For
good territory there is a good in
jury to be noted, but stocks are now
down to such a low point thai sbut
comparatively little business has re-
suited. Fine territory secured is
worth so at IS, so at 63c, covering
o productions. Fine medium is
worth 81 at 60c and medium 55c. In
the territory it has sold at II at 22c,
with n lot of Wyoming and Utah
at 81 at 22c. At these figures good
territory wool sells easily"

walks laid in Rawlins this spring If
