The news has been con firmed this week of large sales of wool and wool byproducts for ship ment to Germany, ana other foreign countries are also active in the mar ket. Coming at a time when South America is the only free market for clothing wools outside of this coun try, this news has served to Increase the anxiety of the manufacturers who are now making ready to open their Fall, 1915. lines. It has been seml-offlclally an nounced that when the fall prices are ( made, In the first week of January, 1915. the advances will be of a startl-j lng character. The price of wool has not only gone up, but tne dyestuffs difficulty has affected the cost of dyeing to a very large extent. Sever al selling agents handling wool goods cannot name future prices, as their mills are not covered on raw wool and are Indisposed to buy at current high prices, at least until they see how the trade is to order for another season. . I Last week some large purchases of carpet wool were made from China factories, one series of transactions running up to 2,000,000 pounds. The advancing values have forced carpet manufacturers to advance their quo tations to take effect after the first of the year. The demand for wool underwear, wool hosiery, sweaters and blankets continues very steady for for eign use. Portland Oregonlan. Makes Our Tax Seem Small Re ports from other counties regarding their tax levies continue to make the Vmatllla county levy seem low In comparison.

As fast as the quarantined animals develop symptoms of hydrophobia they are killed by the owners who are show lng every co-operation In Isolat ing the suspected cases and dispos ing of them as they arise. CITY ENGINEER IS LA10 OFF FOR WINTER MONTHS CITY COUNCIL TAKES ACTION LAST NIGHT AS MATTER OF ECONOMY. As a matter of economy, City En gineer Geary Kimbrell has been laid off during the winter montha. The council took this action last evening pursuant to a recommendation made several weeks ago by Mayor Dyer. Councilman Cole made the motion last evenrng. declaring that, while he was opposed generally to laying off a regular city employe, he believed the condition of the city finances at this time demands retrenchment some place. The funds now on hand will not any more than pay the fixed charges and salaries up to the time the city re ceives ita first revenue from the spring taxes, it was explained, and a number of the council predicted that it would be necessary to issue script before March 1. The city attorney gets 1125 a month. The ordinance requiring Oie plac ing of lights at each end of a street obstruction or excavation waa passed last evening. The lights must be kept from sundown to sunrise and must be visible 100 yards away. Vi olation of the ordinance calls for a fine not exceeding 325 or a Jail sen tence not exceeding II days. The ordinance deeding a part of VIncewt -street to B. L. Burroughs & Co. and the Farmers' Union Grain Agency for 3400 was passed. A drug store liquor license was granted to Koeppen Bros. Announce ment waa made that the brick for re pairing the railroad crossing on East Court street had arrived and the con tract had been let but that the O-W. R. & N. company wanted a little more time on account of weather conditions. NEHALEM FISHEIUlEX WANT OPEN SEA SOX NEHALEM, Ore., Dec. JO. A meet ing of the fishermen of Nehalem. Bay waa held here to formulate a plan to have the closed season on salmon removed. At present the 20 days from November 20 to December 10 are closed for fishing in tha river and bay. No other part of the county la similarly affected. Tillamook Bay has no closed season and the fisher men there have thts 20 extra days of fishing more than the local men. Emil Larson, president of the asso ciation, was appointed to take tha matter up with Representative T. B. Handley with the idea of having a bill placed before the legislature to relieve the situation. Not only are the fishermen Injured by the closed season, but the best part of the fishing comes Just when, the men cannot place their nets in the river. Business men of the val ley are working with the fishermen and giving their their hearty sup port. A strong resolution will be sent to the legislature asking that the re lief be granted. The fishermen on the river ar forced to go to considerable expense for their gear; in fact, much mora than those on Tillamook Bay, and they have been unable to clear them selves with the canneries or pay for their nets during the last six seasons. With 20 days taken out of the sea son, the fishermen here are greatly handicapped. They say they cannot see why they should be stopped dur ing a closed season when the fisher men on other waters of the county do not have to. I' 1.1 JI.A. 1 ALLOWED TO MAURY i SALEM. Ore., Dec. 31.
