W.H. BABB MAY BE NEXT CITY MARSHAL
W 11 Habb may be the next mar

of Hit Jnconilpg mayor, and It is un-cl(ji-tood
that several of the council

ina'n alllrmed the story.
When asked this afternoon if Mr.
Habb would be the next marshal of
the city. Mr. Matlock Bald that ho
hoped so'. "Of course, 1 am not able
to say," said the mayor-to-be. "Tho

Mr, Habb Is well known In this city,

power to ensure his appointment by

They argue that being a personal
friend of the mayor he would have

A. H. Sundenuan, one of Ibe puum
nent woolgrowcrs of Echo, Is In tho
j city today and reports the stock In
that vicinity doing well, considering
tho "soft" weather and unfavorable
conditions for feeding. Mr. Sunder,
mnn will attend tho meeting of the
woolgrowurs jnnd the National Live
stock Association convention al Port
land In January, and thinks every Or
egon stockman should bo In attend
ance. Mr. Sundcrmun Is especially Inter
ested In Boeing the sheepmen nllend
(ho meedng of the Nudonal and State
Woolgrowcrs" Association and pre
pare to make those organizations
moro effective In usslstlng the Indi
vidual members In the struggle
against tho combinations.
For Better Organization.
Ho believes one of the most vlfnl
topics to bo discussed by tho Oregon
woolgrowcrs Is the more thoiongh nr.
ganlzatlon among the members Tor a
fixed sales day at which all the wool
grown by tho members musl be of
fcred for sale, after being graded by
the growers.
Ho bellovos Hint the woolgiowers'
organization should make It binding
on thu members lo save their wool
for this sale day, and prevent Indi
vidual membeis of the organization
from selling choice lots of wool In ad
vance of tho sale dny, thus making It
moro difficult to sell tho remainder
of tho clip, after the buyers tune
picked out (he choicest.
Present System Weak.
In thu present method of conduct
ing the sales days, .Mr. Sundermnn
thinks that very little good Is aceom-
I pushed for thu Individual sheepmen.
I Tho buyers go among (ho 'woolgrow
crs beforo (ho duto of sale, pick out
nil tho choice wool, and when I lie
day of tho sale comes the growers
aro left with tho bulk of thu poorer
grades on hand and the buyerH, lui
iug skimmed the cream fiom tint
market in ndvance, uiu Independent
and offer whatever they feel illspos
ud for the wool In the socalled pool.
.Mr, Suuderinan thinks dial Hie con.
stltutlou of thu woolgrowcrs should
provide for a sales day, and a pool
of nil wool clips of the rnenibors,
which would ho binding on all the
members alike, nnd make a sale day
a benefit lo ovory Individual mum
her. Tho forco of (ho organization
should slnnd behind nnd protect, every
member. In selling his wool. Tho
wool should ho graded beroici being
Bold, and nil the different grades
from (ho various clips should be put
togothor and sold together, thus
making tho wool pool a pool In fuel,
und making (ho organization a direct
benefit to every Individual member.
For a "Binding" Sales Day.
If members nro ut liberty lo sell
out tllf) choice clips In advance, it
takes iiwny tho Interest In the pool.
It spoils the strength of the organi
zation for (ho pool Is not binding,
and all (ho money spent In maintain
ing tho organization Is wnsled.
Ho thinks tho Oregon Woolgrowcirs'
Association should take up (his vital
question and docldo to ruiiko Hint
portion of thu constitution which pro-
vines ior tho salus duy. binding cm
