WILL PET 1)1 PUD The 1904 Convention of Nation al Wool growers. THE INDUSTRY PROSPEROUS The Wool Outlook Is Encouraging ..At Present There la no Surplua. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 17. The next annual convention of the National Wool growers' Association will be held in Portland, Or., the second Monday in January, 1904, one day prior to the con vention of the National Livestock As sociation. Senator F. . Warren, of Wyoming, was re-elected president, and Frank F. Bennett, of Boston, will serve another year as vice-president. The president will appoint a secretary and treasurer. Resolutions relating to the forest reserves and the disease known N . ... as scab among sheep provoked the principal discussion of the ee-sion t )day. A resolution extending; the thanks of the convention to the Bureau of Animal Industry for its activity in combatting the "scab" disease, and asking that Government inspectors be appointed to investigate and fight the disease, caused a lively debate between Utah and Idaho delegates. J. H. Moyle and Jesse Smith, of Utah, indorsed the resolution, and Darlow Ferguson, of Idaho, said it t was not necessary to uak Government assistance, aa the few states affected are amply able to fight the dieease. The resolution was finally tallied. Speechmaking, reports of officers and consideration of resolutions took up the time. Senator Francis E. Warren, of Wyoming, president of the association, delivered his annual address, which was followed by the reports of the- ex ecutive committee and the treasurer. The programme included addresses as follows: "How Knowledge l'ertaining to the Sheep and Woolen Industry, 15 th National and International, Can Be Brought to the Attention of Those In terested," by Hon. Frank 1 Dennett, Boston ; "State and Federal Inspectio j,m Dr. D E. Salmon, Washington, Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry; "The Cost wold Sheep," Frmk W. IDirding, Wisconsin ; "Mutual Interests of Wool- growers and Wool Manuiacturers," S. D. North, Boston; "Benefits to Be De rived From Organization and Co-operation," Hon. Jesse M. Smith, Utah ; "The Sheep That Produces 100 Per Cent Fine Delaine Wool," L. L. Harsh, Michigan; "Transportation of Livestock to Market." R. F. Buller, Idaho, and "Co-operative Wool-Selling," Joseph E. Wing, Ohio. In his address, President Warren said the woolgrowers of the country were in better condition now thanjthey hud been for years past. The country, he said, is practically free from old wojI stored in former years by speculators and with the market in genera! clip Jthis year he believed better priceswvuM prevail, Take it all the way from the sheep's back to the clothinz cf the consumer, I there is no surplus in this country at this time, l'teident Warren '.'said the i Knit-,!

The statement that thousands of tons of anthratic coal were awaiting delivery to retail dealers at t!.e docks of the New, Jersey t Central Railroad at Elizabethport, N. J., has been verified in detail by a photograph of the yards, practically blocaded by loaded cars. There were easily 400 cars The walking sick, what a crowd of them there are : Persons who are thin and weak but not sick enough to go to bed. "Chronic cases" that's what the doctors call them, which in common English means long sickness. To stop the continued loss of flesh they need Scott's Emulsion.

Averaging the 500 cars' ca pacity at 60,000 pounds each, would make the total coal in Elizabethport at the hour of the court 15,000 tons. At other points there is also a conges tion of coal-laden cars, which the ofheera of some of the coal-carrying roads say is mainly due to the confusion caused by the separating of cars containing in dependent coal from those bearing the company coal. FULTON LEADS. The first ballot for United States sen ator at Salem, resulted as follows : Fulion 23 Geer 20 Wood 18 Scattering 21 Absent 3 Total 00 Alaska t anneries IHcrjje. Seattle, Jan. 15. The 14 independent canneries of Southeastern Alaska were merged at a meeting here today, and the entire pack amonntinc at the present time to between (500,000 and 800,000 cases per annum, passed to the control of Grillith, Durney k Co., San Francisco, who will establish headquarters here. The new firm will invest about $1,000,- 000 in warthouse8 in Seattle and in rendering as-istance to tbe Northern points, in order to increase their out put. The priceHst for Alaska pinks will be advanced 15 cents a dozen on the average and new lists will be issued at once. The cause of the merger is al leged to be from hostile rulings on the part of the Treasury Department, which threatened to drive many of the can neries out of the business with a total Iohs of their investments. While the plants will continue to be operated by theindividu.il owners the product, as put up, will be shipped her to Griffith, Durney it Co., and will be dispo.-ed of at a uniform price. All competition in the salmon pack of the North is re moved and a unity of action will be maintained in the operation of the plants and a compliance with the de partu.e'.t ruling. It i estimated that the advance in the list will nee the 1 anneries about 5"0 000 a year on th" pick ct the present time. This it is the i itention to increase as soon as possible. A symlicit cf Vauoouver din ners is emUviwiring to arrange for the establishment of a chain of cannery plants on the Eastern coast of Siberia.
