The sale of wool belonging to mem ber? of the Idaho Woolsrowers' asso ciation stored In the Falk warehouse, commenced roon after 9 o'clock this mnrn'ne. Jinx Mnyfield. assisted by J. E. CI!:iton. jr., secretary of the sso elation, conducting the sale, states the Hoise Capital News. The method adopted was to bring to the outrtde platform a sample of sacks of wool from each grade in n seller's clip. The buyers would open thes sacks and examine the wool, which resulted In almost every fleece helns opened and examined by some one of the 10 or 12 buyers who, without coats nnd with up-rolled sleeves, delved Into the fleeces as experts only can. Im mediately upon finishing a lot. the buyers noted their bid. on' slips of paper and handed them directly to the owner or to Mr. Mayfleld. who'nt once turned them over to the owner who retired apart from the crowd to ex amine them, very soon potlfled Mr. Mnvfleld of his acceptance or rejection. The first lot examined was that of Joseph Kent, of Boise. S9 sacks, fur wnicn is 14 cents was bid bv two buyers, the bids being rejected by Mr. Kent. .; Thomas McMllan's lot was the next one subjected to the scrutiny of the men from the east, 104 bngs. which was sold to thre buyers representing Her.ht Le'ber & Co.. of Boston, for 0 5-x cents: Frank A. Nourse's clln of 30 bags was purchased bv Jack Pa'.- teison. representing n Boston house, for IS 'A cents, the lowest bid being 1$ cents. Mr. Patterson also purchased Annett end Stewart's B" sacks at lSU cent", the lowest bid being 13 Vt cents: he tilso tf;is the Wchest bidder for 87 sacks belonging to Miguel Oarbla and got the woo! for 1 7 V4 cents. Castro Aldecoea sold at 19 14 cents, the low est Md being 18 cents. Henry Blncher rejected a bid of 15 cents for three lots. Joseph Oestel re jected a hid of IS cents and Payne and fence rejected 19 5-8 cents for 3S6 sacks. During the forenoon about 1000 sacks were sold. There was no evidence of under standing or combine on the part of the buyers and the variations In bids quite conclusively shows the contrary. It was quite generally conceded that the wool was not quite up to last year's clip. -Nearly all the eastern houses that have heretofore made large purchases of Idaho wool, were present. Elsenman Bros., of Boston, and Sllerman Bros.. of Chicago, being notable exceptions. The sale was well nrranged and con ducted very satisfactorily to both buy ers and sellers by Messrs. Mayfleld and Clinton. Just before noon the en tire group was photographed. The members of the association who were present expressed the view that the sale had met expectations, and demonstrated the wisdom of this me thod of disposing of a year's clip. Afternoon Sales. At the afternoon meeting Thomas Booth rejected a bid of '18 cents for his clip: Verncmrltk also refected a bid of 19'i cents for 103 sacks; Fatk Mercantile company rejected 22 cents for 54 sacks and John Gray 1S cents for Ills clip. These wools were ranch clips and of higher grade than those offered at th. forenoon sale. ter tinker advisement and will decide before the trial la ended. The contention made by Attorney Chance and Tlyde for the defendant Is that the Indictment Is defective for the reason that It docs not Include all the names of the complainants when those names were within the knowl edge of the grand jury or the witnesses before the grand Jury. . The first Indictment against Mnr cum was dismissed on about the same grounds for the Instrument did not contain the names of the members of the Bourne Miners' union, a muttml association not Incorporated. Dhitrlct Attrrr'-v Lomnx then took the case before the grand jury and a new In dictment was returned containing the names of sb-ut a' dozen 0'flcfrs and metrhers of tVe union. '.When the case was called IVs morn las and Treasurer Manx of the union was- on the stand, TMstrlet Attorney Lomnx nsked him as to the number of members of the union. Here the at torneys for the defense asked a few questions nnd elicited from Manx that he, Man, knew the names of nil the members of the union or had access to them. The defense then moved that the Indictment be quashed as It was deefctlve on that ground. The court took the motion under consideration saying he would pass upon it before the trial ended. DIs. trlct Attorney Lomax then proceeded to show that the membership of the union was continually changing. OUF.GOX FOSSILS. Dr. Thomas- Condon Writes of n Pre historic Seal. The laft Issue of the Fnlverslty of Oregon Bulletin Is devoted to an ac count of a new seal fossil by Professor Thomas Condon, the venerable pale ontologist of the Pacific coast, says n Fugene dispatch. The lossil Is catalogued as Permato- phoea Oregonensls and Is of Interest to geoloels'.s all over the world as being the oldest fossil of Its kind ever dis covered and Is especially Important since It goes far to substantiate the theory that certain marine carnlvora. like the seal family, took their origin from terrestrial carnlvora of the dog family or Its ancestors. The opinion of Huxley nnd Mlvnrt that seals ore derived from bears Is practically de stroyed by the new fossil seal, since It was dls"ovred In a mlocene formation of randstone much older than any known formation containing bear fol slls. The bulletin containing Professor Condon's discovery will be sent to scientists throughout the country' and will constitute the most Important contribution to paleontology of the last 10 years.

La Grande Observer. (iOOI) BLACKSMITHIXG COAL. W-ii-ovprort Xcur Hnyrrrok. In Crook County. The Madras Pioneer has the follow Ing to say of an important discover?' McFlroy A Sot,s, blacksmiths a this place, are using coal f-nm Crook county mines In their slion. find the; pronounce It as good for their purpose as the coal which they have been hauling In from the railroad. The coal comes from the recent coal pros pect discovery five miles southeast from Haycreek, where a large amount of prospect work Is under way. Pros pect holes have been sunk at different points and It Is claimed that coal hs been uncovered for a distance of five miles. Work Is being concentrated now at a point five miles southeast of Haycreek, and two shifts are kept at work. Should these coal measures be found to be as extensive as has been report ed, the discover;' will be of immense importance to Crook county, and in fact to this section of the slate. It Is claimed that the ledge of coal Is fully five feet In thickness and that It has been followed for a distance of five miles. All tests made of the conl have proved highly satisfactory, although these tests have so far necessarily been confined to coal taken from naar the surface The McElroys had about 1200 pounds of the coal brought over to them and during the week there have been numbers of visitors to their shop, to see them use the Crook coun ty coal In their blacksmith work. MARCTM MAY EKCAPK TRIAL. Peculiar Reason I'rged for Qiinshlnc Indictment. The Baker City Democrat gives tho following account of the latest devel opments In the progress of the case against tho alleged defaulting treasur er cf Bourne Miners' union: T. J. Marcum, yie alleged embez zling treasurer of the Bourne Miners' union, may escape punishment on a technicality If the argument made by his attorneys In the case this morning is to stand. The court took the mat Cheap Furl for the People. The I'nlted states consul at Berlin reports that dennturlzed alcohol sells In that city for 30 cents per gallon. As grain and potatoes are one-third higher In Germany than here, It Is evident the alcohol should sell In the grain and potato states of the Union at not more than 20 cents per gallon. For fuel purposes this Is said to be equivalent to gasoline at 8 to 10 cents per gallon. The taking of the tax off alcohol promises lo be a boon to the whole people. "The people." howevoi . does not include the Standard, Oil company, which has been receiving 25 to 40 cents per gallon for gasoline. W. R. Ward of Dyerstmrg.
