QUALITY AS GOOD AS BEST I Eatrii Oregon VarMIe lCim to Fine ami Medium While Valley Product Hliow Wider Range The excellence of thin year'i clip of Oregon wool form the nubject of a pet'lal article In the American Wool and Cotton Reporter, the utandard organ of the eastern mill trade. That paper nay; The bulk of the eastern Oregon wool. In the matter of grade, runs to fine and fine medium. They are used extensively to mix with Auxtrallans. One large manufacturing concern In particular uxe several million pound of them every year In thin way, and ha purchaned them In the original clip this year with unuRUul freedom, the 1904 clip being exceptionally well grown and In excellent condition. Many of the clips on reaching the sea board have opened up beautifully, and they have been eagerly sought by other consumers. The large concern referred to makes fine worsted yarns, on the German system, and worsted, all-ivool dress goods. The Oregon wools, mixed with Australian, are well suited for these purposes, as they are of good staple, especially so this year. They scour out very white, also, ranking with the Wyoming as to whiteness Indeed, It Is not easy to detect the difference be tween scoured Wyomlngs and scoured Oregons, as far as whiteness Is con cerned. As one wool salesman remark ed to the writer: Take 10 bags of Wyoming and 10 bags of Oregon, both in the scoured ronditton, and mark the bags 1, 2 and 3, up to 20, and It would be difficult to pick one from the other. There are Just as fine wools In Ore gon as there are In Wyoming also. Some of the eastern Oregon wools will grade up to a XX. although they do not have the working qualities of an Ohio XX, which comes the nearest to the Australian of corresponding grade, of any domestic wool. But an Oregon costing B5o or STc, clean, Is much cheaper, of course, than an Ohio XX which, at present market values, costs about 70c clean. The valley Oregon wool comes In smaller clips, as a rule, and are of com paratively light shrinkage. These wools are raised from' sheep which graie on the. grass lands In the val leys, and the fleeces are as clean as those grown In Ohio. The sand and dirt do not get Into these wools as they do Into the eastern Oregons, which are grown on ranges, as In Montana. The valleys, however, do not run as fine as the eastern Oregon, and those that are fine are not as long In staple as the eastern Oregons of correspond ing grade; but the coarser wools grown In the valleys are full as long and strong. In the valleys there is a wider range of grades, they running all the wsy from an X down to a low quar ter blood. Most of the valleys are grown In the western part of the state and they have been unusually well cleaned up this year. - 8ulcidt Prevented. The startling announcement that a preventive of suicide had been discov ered will interest many. A run-down system, or despondency Invariably pre cedes suicide and something has been found that will prevent that condition which nkes'BulcIde"TikeIy7 At the first thought of self-destruction take Electric Bitters.

Rogers, druggist. goose's migration experiences would be something startling, especially In re gard to the quantity of lead of various sizes vainly burled after the adven turous flyer. Would It be pounds or tons? At first glance the latter quan tity might appear absurd, but it must be remembered that a goose is long lived, while nine-tenths of his would be destroyers use more lead than sci ence in their abortive methods. In any event, if I had the choice o'f contract for carrying In a canoe the goose or the stuff that missed him, there wouldn't be any hesitancy over the selection of the freight. The fact Is that the "honker" Is the most shot at and the least killed of all our fowl, the reason for which Is sim ple enough. Not a few old sportsmen and all new hands at the game under estimate by about one-half the dis tance at which a flying goose is pass ing. The bulky body and great wings make a noble spread, even when a cou ple of hundred yards off, and only long schooling can teach the utter useless- ness of trying at half that range with any standard gun. To a novice a goose actually within sure distance will ap pear almost on top of him and It Is only after a few fowl have been killed, gathered and the distance at which they fell noted that the eye acquires the knack of measuring with anything like correctness, the deceptive mark. Illustrated Sporting News. We Invite YOU to Come We.want YOUR Company HUNTING FOR WILD GEESE. Thsy Are Crafty, Resourceful and Cau tious In Their Flight. . Young geese near the remote breed ing grounds and before they have been educated by the long, perilous flight from north to south and back, not seldom being unmolestedon their Jour ney, have in a fashion to cast a doubt upon their Intelligence, but that 1b a common fault of youth and inexper ience. The 2-year-old goose Is a very different fowl, and If there be anything in feathers better able to extract chunks of solid wisdom from an ex Up-to-Date Admiral. Admiral Ito, who earned his vis county for services in the Chlno Japanese war. Is very western in his methods. A story Is told rather against him when the Japanese landed a force after the battle of the Talu. Shortly after his establishment he was one day annoyed by the receipt of a tele gram from a subordinate whom he had allowed off on furlough which read, "Will not report today, as expected, on account of unavoidable circum stances." The tone of the message was not at all to Admiral Ito's mind, and he wired at once In reply: "Re port as expected or give reasons." Within an hour the following message came over the wires from a hospital in Tokosuka: "Train off can't ride. Legs off can't walk. Will not report unless you Insist." The admiral did not Insist CATCH GANG OF BROKERS Heavy Operators on 'Change Ar rested While Amusing Them selves in a Game. 'TWAS A PRACTICAL JOKE ltunuinjr Pocket Itoulette Wbeel and Gambling for Pennies When Police Pounced Upon Them. New Tork, Aug. 20. A Joke that mis carried has caused a police raid on a brokerage office in a big building on lower Broadway and the arrest of five men who were locked up on charges of ganbllng. Two of the prisoners are members of the Consolidated Stock & Petroleum Exchange. After the day's business had been finished some one In the brokerage of fice produced a pocket roulette wheel, such as are sold in toy shops and those present, anxious for amusement, sent out for a lot of pennies. Then all sat down on a big table and were having a lot of fun when the door suddenly flew open and a squad of detectives entered. The brokers explained that they were only amusing themselves, but admitted that they were gambling. The pennies and wheel were confiscat ed and the players marched off to the station. It appears that some outsider in a spirit of fun had called up police head quarters and reported a gambling house in full operation In the office. Word was telephoned to the Old Slip station, which resulted in the raid. The in stigator escaped without even giving his name. Russians Retreated. Toklo, Aug. 20, 4 p. m.
