keepers and Merchants.
LONDON, July 20. (Special.) Another
British peeress has "gone into trade.
Lady Auckland, wife of the fifth Baron
Auckland, has Just opened a furniture
and decorator's business In the West
End in order to make a living for her
family, who have been ruined by unlucky
speculation. (
The sign over the shop says "Morton
& Ed-wards," but the sole proprietress is
Lady Auckland, who chooses to trade
under these plebeian-sounding names.
Lady Auckland has excellent taste and
understands the planning, decorating
and furnishing of artistic houses. She
frankly confesses that she has been
obliged to start this business fn order
to support herself, her husband and her
two boys at school.
I have made a special study, said
Lady Auckland to an Interviewer, "of
the (planning end decorating of new
houses. I simply love furnishing and
decorating It calls for so much of the
artistic side of a cultured woman's tem
perment. I feel sure there Is a great
field for me here. I may say that I
have received offers from London firms
to undertake this sort of work, and even
from American firms. But I thought I
could do so much better for myself."
Lady Auckland is by no means the first
English aristocrat to enter business life.
The list of titled traders includes the fol
lowing: . .
The Duchess of Abercorn, who has a
creamery at Baronscourt.
Lady Essex and Mrs. Bwfa Williams,
who own a laundry.
Lady Duff-Gordon, who has a smart
dressmaker's business.
Lady Rachael Byng (daughter of Lord
Strafford)., who has an artistic needle
work shop.
Lady Aileen Wyndham-Quin (daughter
of Lord Dunraven), who owns a violet
farm at Adare Manor.
The Hon. Frances Wolseley (daughter
of Lord Wolseley), who presides over a
school for gardening.
Mrs. Bertie Dormer (niece or Lord Dor
mer), who is a milliner.
Lady Alsernon Gordon-Lennox, who
has commenced business in the fruit
bottling Industry.
Lord Rosslyn, who was at one time
associated with a perfumery business In
the North of London.
The Earl of Hardwlcke, who was en
gaged in the cigar trade.
The Hon. J. W. Mansfield (brother ana
heir of Lord Sandhurst) and the Hon.
F. A. C. Thelluson (son and heir of Lord
Rendiesham), who are wine merchants.

WOMEN ARE XOT "CLUBBABLE"
One Who Has Traveled Tells Their
Faults Unsparingly.
LONDON, July 20. (Special.) That
women are not "clubbable," as men are,
has been repeatedly stated since ladies'
clubs began to spring up in London. A
severe roasting of women as club-members
is now published, written by a wom
an who has just returned to London after
living many years abroad.
"The Incapacity of woman," she writes,
"to think beyond herself is what strikes
me most in observing her ways in a
club. The average woman fails absolutely
to realise that the place is run by the
majority. She feels that she is a sub
scriber and she acta as if she were the
only one. Sit down at the table with a
woman to whom you have not been In
troduced and, if ever you doubted that
woman could look ugly, your doubts will
be' swept away.
"For of all the dull, disagreeable, self
absorbed specimens of humanity the aver
age woman when she eats alone In the
exclusive security of her club, ranks quite
first. She cavils and squabbles and criti
cises; makes the servants run back and
forward, ignoring the fact that she is not
in her own private house.
"Talk of the tidiness of woman the
room where newspapers and periodicals
are kept, and the dressing-room, are
i horrors. Woman seems Incanable of
handling newspapers. She leaves a leaf
here and there, she crumples the whole
thing up If she does not find the notice
of a sale she wants at a given moment.
or the complexion tip, or the remark
about some other woman's gown that she
reads with a Jealous eye. Woman is not
m ior ciuds yet; sna wants a lew more
generations of the nursery."
CHEAP DWELLINGS FOR POOR
Paris Municipality Considers Meas
ures Against Overcrowding.
PARIS, July 20. (Special.) In the
Paris Municipal Council a member
named Turot has Just questioned the
Prefect of the Seine as to the manner in
which he proposes to support the build
ing of cheap dwelling-houses in the city.
The French law does not allow the
municipality to build workmen's dwell
ings on their own land, but It allows
them to support and encourage private
Initiative. It can take shares In building
societies up to thirds of the full amount.
A law was also passed last year permit
ting the charity commissioners, or As
sistance Publlque, to use the fifth of Its
income for the erection of cheap dwell
ings, and the. Prefect of the Seine is now
asked to come to an understanding with
the Assistance Publlque with a view to
the formation of a company to supply
cheap dwellings in Paris and to Issue a
loan of 10,000,000 francs to meet the ex
penses. The proposal was favorably re
ceived and set before a commission.
The statistics of the prefecture show
that 37 per cent of the population of
Paris is properly housed and 14 per cent
under conditions of excessive over
population. There are in the city 13,965
lodgings with only one room. In which
there live from one to eight persons each.
The consequent disease Is appalling, and
the tendency to alcoholism is no less.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 20. (Special.)
After swindling confiding peasants out

tenced t a year s Imprisonment.
Armed with a gigantic portfolio, he ap-

Even the village authorities were de

access of loyalty, telegraphed to the

Czar for sending such an eminent states
man and the fraud was discovered.
Among "Witte's" documents was a beau

WAR ON FRENCH INCOME TAX
Opposition to Inquisitorial Methods
May Defeat Clemenceau.
PARIS, July 20. (Special.) The new
Income tax law, which was Introduced
last February, is now about to be recon
sidered by the chamber in Its modified
form. In the meanwhile the public Indig
nation against the Inquisitorial methods
contained In It Is growing Into a loud
chorus of Indignant protest.
The Chambers of Commerce In all the
great Industrial centers are passing reso
lutions expressing their disgust at the
measure in no measured terms, and the
chief cause of the grievance Is that the
fiscal agents are, by the law, allowed at
any time to enter a man s house or busi
ness, look into his books, find out who
his clients are, and generally make of
fensive inquiries.
The Clemenceau ministry is more likely
to fall as the result of this detested bill
even than on account of the present
political situation. The enemies of the
measure claim that It will entirely de
stroy the methods of economy and thrift
for which France has always been
famous.
A society has been formed fn Paris to
fight the hill. It will seek means of Im
proving the old taxes so as to lighten the
burden upon rural proprietors, and will
study the question of founding fresh
taxes, which, without making the worker
suffer too much, will raise enough revenue.
FEUD

ROME), July 20. (Special.) Garibaldi's
tomb on the little Island of Caprera 13
the storm center of bitter quarrels
among his family. General Ricclottl
Garibaldi, second son of the liberator by
his first marriage, has assumed despotic
powers and declared that his father's
second marriage was Illegal, and the
widow. Donna Francesca Garibaldi, with
out rights or status.
He threatens to have his father's body
removed to Rome, and the other members
of the family have Invoked government
aid to prevent this "sacrlllge." He has
already had the body of Manllo Garibaldi
son of the second marriage, who lay be
side his fathor, removed, with its tomb.
Donna Francesca and her daughter
went to Caprera In a tropedo-boat, ac
companied by government authorities, to
demand Ricciotti's expulsion from the
island, which is private property. Mean
while Ricclottl Is defying everybody,
threatened to break his crutches (he Is
crippled with rheumatism) over the head
of anyone who touches him. He is being
watched by six carbineers.

Swear Allegiance to Czar Again.
BERLIN, July 20. (Special.) Every
postoffice employe in the Russian service
has been made to swear afresh allegiance
to the Czar, In order that the effects of
the great strike two years ago may be
wiped out. This was done in true Rus
sian fashion, a "pope" (priest) with an
acolyte and a clerk visiting every post
office throughout the country and making
every employe swear on the crucifix and
on the gospels to serve his sovereign
faithfully. The progress of the Pope,
arrayed In' full canonicals, through the
big postoffices made a picturesque spec
tacle, but interfered with the service, for
the visitations were made in the busiest
hours of the day.
The wool growers of Oregon, in the sea
son now drawing to a close, have enjoyed
more than their usual share of prosperity.
In fact, the year has probably been the
best in the history of the industry of the
state. Prices have never been so higlx
since the present range conditions existed .
and compared with late years, the cost of
production has been less.
The total clip of Oregon this year Is es
timated at 20.OiXl.000 pounds. Last year
the Bheep produced about 18.000,000 pounds.
The value of the 1907 clip is approximately
$3,800,000. As a wealth-producer It exceed
ed that of the previous year by about
$560,000. Besides the Eastern money the
wool has brought into the state, there
have been enormous shipments of sheep to
other sections and many more tralnloads
will be despatched before the Winter sea
son comes.
Wool men estimate that not to exceed
1,000.000 pounds of wool remain unsold in
Oregon and Washington, about half of
which is south of the Columbia River.
Twice as much was unsold in Oregon at
this date last year. As but little was con
tracted in the state In the present year, it
will bo seen that the season, after It
once opened, was a decidedly active one.
Nearly all of the wool bought has been,
by this time, sent on its way to the East
ern markets and mills. Railroad facili
ties were good, as they usually are during
the wool shipping period.
The general run of Eastern Oregon ship
ping wools sold this year at from 18 to
20 cents, while last year the average price
was about 18 cents. Heavy shrinking
scouring wools brought generally from 14
to 17 cents. The top prices paid were 22
cents at Pendleton and 215-8 cents at Sha-
niko. Last season the best Shanlko clip
brought 23 1-4 cents. There are other In
stances where Individual clips did not
realize as much as a year ago. but on the
average the price paid was about a cent
better.
Experts have declared that the 1907 Or
egon wools are inferior In quality to the
1906 clip. One authority estimates that
the intrinsic value of the product this
year Is 1 1-4 cents less than that of a year
ago. The wools have run lighter due to
a variety of causes, the bad Winter, poor
feed last Fall and the damp Spring. There
was not so much staple and more clothing
stock.
Competition Causes High Prices.
Notwithstanding these facts, the buyers
have paid prices most satisfactory to the
growers, prices that they assert were not
warranted by the values ruling In the
Boston market. It was not In a spirit
of philanthropy., however, that these high
prices were paid. Competition made them
necessary. The keenness of the competi
tive buying, in fact, was the feature of
the market. In the previous year the
dealers had things pretty much to them
selves. This year the mills were a factor
in the buying. Several of the big manu
facturing concerns of the East, evidently
with a view of eliminating the middle
men's profit, put their representatives In
the field and the result was a spirited
contention for wool that could have but
one effect on prices. Whether the mills
will be the gainers by their move remains
to be seen. As for the merchants, some
of them are doubtful how their own high
priced purchases will work out. Of the
sheep-owners' position In the competition,
no further remarks are necessary. They
only hope the mills will send their buyer
around again teext year.
About one-half of the Eastern Oregon
clip was disposed of this year at tha
sealed bid sales, which were held at the
leading wool centers. It is worth noting
that the prices paid at the private sales
were fully as good as those realized at
the public auctions, and In some instances
growers did better by selling privately
than by sending their Wool to the publlo
sales. The sealed bid system, however,
holds the approval of the majority of the
larger growers and seems to be an Insti
tution that has come to stay. Its advan
tages have been proved in the past and
until some better schema is devised, the
sheep men will continue to make use ot
this method of selling the product.
Wools or the Valley.
The Willamette Valley wool clip grows
smaller year by year and Its quality seems
to be steadily deteriorating. The reduc
tion of the flocks is the consequence of
the high price of mutton that has pre
vailed for some time past. The poorer
quality of the wool now, as compared
with former years, can be attributed only
to the lack of interest shown by farmers
In this important branch of agriculture.
Valley wool unscoured is now almost on a
parity, as regards price, with Eastern Or
egon wool. Only a few years ago it was
quoted 10 cents or more higher. The av
erage price of valley wool this Beason
has been 22 cents.
The lightness of Oregon wools this year,
the result of an almost dustless Spring,
has brought the average weight of the
fleeces down to 7 pounds, as against a
weight of 8 pounds last year. The shrink
age of Eastern Oregon clip is estimated
to average 67 per cent.
Portland dealers operated extensively In
Washington and Idaho this season. Both
these states turned out their usual quan
tity of wool. The output of Idaho Is esti
mated to have been 18.000,000 pounds, and
Washington produced about 6,000,000
pounds.
