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.

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.

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

'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.
