Many Ktories are told of the profits of individual flock- while some of them are doubtless ex aggerated, they have ample founda tion in the record pricea which have been received.. With.the market for fine wool rang ing from. 16 "to 28 cents and .for. coarse Wool from 20 to ?. cents, prices such as only a fool would have dreamed of a few yearv-ao, It Isn't any wonder that the sheepmen axe prosperous, for they have managed to she out a pretty good existence on half those prices.

Jars during the past year. -. - .-Williamson's operations are not on . quite such an extensive scale as those of. Stanfleld and yet he Is credited by - the people of Crook county with hav ing cleared up 170.000 during the past year and to have the' equivalent of that aura still Invested In "woolies." Whether or not these are the exact Tlgurea on. his business Is of course a matter to which Mr. Williamson him self is best able to testify but he .has a-tJ least given every outward mani festation" of having had a prosperous ' yr Ip his business. Residents of " prtnevllle say he has purchased no less than four automobiles during the year, two for himself and one each for Ufa two sons-ln-l4w. , -. ( Present Prices Undreamed Of. - '' tn August of this year Mr. William -' aoa sold 6000 head of spring lambs for October delivery to the Union Stock Isjrds of Portland for $7.75 per hun redweight, a price not even dreamed cf$a few years ago. In commenting upon the sheep and wool situation re cestly, Williamson is quoted as having aid: . - i ?Of course for those of us who "have been In the business for years and have sold sheep for 11 per head and wool for f lye cents per pound. It is difficult to , . gef our ideas and valuations adjusted .'. to:tbe conditions that have existed In etaer countries for many years. v ' "About 200 years ago sheep In Eng ' land went to a price that corresponds ' to that which they have reached In this country in the last two or three years, '. and they have maintained that figure wifh the usual variations until - the present tiaie. Beactloa Wot lLooked For. ' fWhile it seems almost unreason able to state, I cannot see any reason way sheep or wool should ever get back to the low levels that they have formerly held in this country, and - Wy should stay sqmewnere near the present market quotations for a time' ; t' least." . . - The profits which Stanfleld and Wtt- vances on the east frontier of Trsn slyvanla were repulsed. "On the Macedonian front there Is nothing to report." King Ferdinand dispatched personal appeals to the rulers of allied nations to save Koumanla from disaster after the fall of Constanza, according to Budapest dispatches. The messages were sent following a stormy session of the Roumanian cab inet. Roumanian military leaders were said to have been harshiyirltlclzed by several of the ministers, but supported by the king, who declared the Rouma nian defeat was due to the fact that Russia had failed to supply the artil lery and munitions she had promised. German military men expect an early demonstration by the allies, probably on the Italian and Macedonian fronts. In response to King Ferdinand's ap peal. Because of the allied armies' lack of sufficient munitions for great offensives on these fronts, the attacks are expected to be short-lived and di rected largely for the purpose of en couraging r the disheartened Rouma nians. - TO CONTINUE DESPITE NEW DEVELOPMENTS Reports of Affairs Below Rio Grande Are Discredited In Statement-Issued. 2 f mp- Atlantio City.
