WOOL MARKET AT STANDSTILL Clean Clip of Wool and Best Quality for Years. Shearing in Morrow county is now practically completed and the clips are being hauled to the ware houses. The shearing season has been unusually favorable and the wool in general is of better quality and cleaner than for a number of years. In fact, the heavy wools in the Columbia river basin are light er and cleaner than ever known. The clip of Morrow county this year is estimated at z,ow,wu pounds. This is somewhat lighter than last season. The extremely light shrinkage and extra quality of wool here is attributed to two influences. First, the winter was severe and the growers were forced to keep sheep in the corrals and feed them. Being well fed, the sheep came through the winter in' better condition than usual when the ranges are depended upon for part of winter keeping. The second influence was the fact that when winter broke spring came on with warm weather with oat any severe storms, and grass was unusually early and good Now, with the extra quality of wool and the wool growers always readv to meet the buyer on a fair basis the condition in Morrow county presents a peculiar appear ance. Ne sales or oners are re corded. Thera is a deadlock be tween the grower and buyer which cannot be explained. The Boston market indicates sales of Oregon staole at 62 to 6d cents on a scoured basis, while the London market warrants a much better Thomson Bros.

Three months ago it was opeoly published that the Oregon staple bad all been cleared np and warehouses were empty. The present Boston quotations would indicate a price of only 14 to 15 cents in the grease in the lo cal market. The growers here have handled and fed their sheep on a 20-cent basis. A long feeding season with very high prices for feed and labor, forest restrictions and a light clip, wool growers feel that a price of only from 14 to 15 cents for one of the finest clips of wool that was ever grown here, is adding a bur den not to be lightly looked upon. In fact, the growers are goiDg to make a strong effort to get what they believe their wool is worth. At this time growers are not forced to sell, and a movement is already under way to pool & great consign ment tote handled at the Nation al Woolgrowers' warehouse in Chicago. The president of the Morrow County Woolgrowers association has called a meeting to be held in Heppner on May 28 for the pur pose of taking up matters pertain ing to the wool situation.

Mancice 0. Eldridge of the United States Department of Ag. riculture and Judge Lionel Web Bter of Portland lectured hereon gcod roads Friday evening. From the interest evinced by the big crowd present that greeted the speakers it would seam that Mor row county citizens are awakening to the realization of the necessity of better roads. Long study has familiarized Mr. Eldridge with the benefits that will result from bet ter highways. He is a practical road builder and is thoroughly conversant with all of the meth ods of modern road making. He carries an extensive collection of slides showing roads all over the world, aa well as views from al most every state in the union. During his brief stay hero he showed how macadam and dirt roads were built, also the necessary machinery for proper roadcon- struction. Judge Webster of the Oregon Qood Goads association talked on the business end of roadbuilding and told how to get good roads in a short time without excessive tax ation. Judge Webster advocated first an amendment to the consti tution giving each county the priv. lege, if so desired by the voters of the county, to bond the prop erty interests of the county in or der to raise funds with which to mprove the highways. Judge Webster's argument (showing the absolute necessity of this proce dure im order to get immediate re sults was well received here. Me advocated the creation of state highway commission to di rect and systematize the work of road building throughout the state. He also dwelt at 6ome length upon the question of convict labor in building roads, advocating both the use of convicts and county and city jail inmates to be nsel in the work. He impressed his audience with the necessity of organization and advocated local organizations in every county as branches of the state organization, each associa tion to elect representatives and have a meeting where plans can be discussed for the aid of needed legislation for the improvement ol the highways.
