Will Meed Clraln Sacks.
Grain exporters are getting ready to
supply sacks to the farmers of the
northwest for the crop of 1906. It is
estimated that 25,000,000 burlap sacks
will be needed to move this year's yield
in the three states of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho, and the price as now in
dicated will be & cents each for do
mestic and 7,'centa for Calcutta.
"No wheat sacks were carried ever
lst year," one importer said to the
Evening Telegram, "and there are very
few second-hand sacks available. We
figure that a 50,000.000 bushel crop of
wheat, oats and barley will be raised
this year, and as ech sack holds two
bushel, the number of sacks needed
can be estimated. Sacks will be about
the same price as last year toward the
c'osi of th ensuing soasnn."
"About 75 per cent of the ssoks need
ed in the northwest are imported from
India,'' ano her grain dealer said. "And
these sacks pay a duty of 1 cent each.
Burlap marie into sacks in Portland
pays a duty, but a rebate is given when
the sacks are shipped out of the country
filled with wheat. We get some sacks
from the California penitentiary at
Quentin, when that state has them to
spare, and we also obtain some from
the Washington penitentiary at Walla
Wal.a."
"The no'thwest never fails of a crop,
and we can figu-e to a ce rtainty as to
how many bushels we will have when
we know how many acres are sown to
grain," another dealer said. "Si by
figuring on 50,000,000 bushels of grain
this year we are well within the mark."

The Montana state board of sheep
commissioners' report showed the sheep
industry to be in excellent condition
and the consensus of opinion was that
ttiere will be 20 per cent fewer sheep in
Montana next year than this, owing to
the heavy sales, due to big prices offered.
A Montana sheep, firm has bought a
410-acre ranch in the Yellowstone val
ley, near Bidings, for $.'2 500, nearly
$85 an acre, the highest price yet paid
in that section. The farm is a great
producer of alfalfa, 1.400 tons bavins
been taken off 200 acres of it. About
30.000 sheep will be fed there this
winter.

work is now all completed. The
foundation is stone and is very sub
stantial and solid. Mr. Cox informs the
