THE 8TKE3UTH I. WOOL.
The new year thus lar has cer
tainly show a firm tendency for all
kiuda of "wool, somewhat contrary
to the expectation of those who
were inclined to look for Born
easing off after the holidays In
reason of. the unusually large
qaautities of wool to be oflered iu
Australian primary markets afte'
the turn of the year. From every
where come reports of strong
markets. .At the London audioes
prices have hardeuded since the
opening day, both merinos and
crossbred showing strengthand
th competition being very keen
A ptrong situation is reported in
Sou'h Americfi, notwithstanding
the reduced purchases made in
that sec'ion of the United States
the bulk of the dpsirable wools
being quickly taken for European
account
It is certainly a notable situa
tton, in view of the marked in
crease In the wool product of Aus
tralia and the comparatively high
rricea cow ruling fcr wool in all
markets of the world. The pro.
faction of colonial wool in 1906
was 2,071,000 bales, but the pro
duction for 1907 will probably at
tain nenrly 2,300,000 bales, ex
ceeding the highest previous record
ia 1895, and being about half as
much again as the smallest quant
ity registered as the result of the
drought. The production in the
Argentine in 1906 was 491,000
bates, as against 4SS.000 bales in
1905, and it is now expected that
tha production of this country will
remain stationary, although one
wool authority looks for a small j
dccreane this year in the River
Plate clio; but, allowing for this,
there would be a net increase of
something like the equivalent of
about 1. "50,000 colonial bales in
these two largest wool producing
countries. In this connection, it
i interesting to note how the
average value ppr bale has risen in
ti9 past three years in the face of
a rapidly increasing product of
colonial wools, without any marked
diminution ia the production of
other wool growing countries:
Colonial clip Average
bales val per bale.
1904 1.572,000 U
1905 1,842,000 15
1906 2,071,000 17
In considering the prospects for
mniudfe in tbe'face of these figures,
it beicg in merinoB in which tie
increase in production has largely
occurred, we realize that prices
are now on a high level, the aver
age value per bale being greater in
l'JGG than during any year since
1SS2, when it was .C17A, and the
value per bale being now higher
t'um it wa) in 1900. But we have
also entered upon a year when old
Btr;ks have been pretty well clear-
ACONVICrS B0MANCE
ODD WAY IN WHICH A UFI PRISONER
WON HIS FREEDOM.
tlk OU Itateheaae avt Altear-Tb

Cnii His Oyrtmmltr
Vouched tr by tbe lata Henry Smith,
Mm Mid he iMmid tha tact through
being peaker of lb UHuUr, there Is
an Interesting bit of history connected
with the old sUtanoose at Albany,
where it has stood for rears, the finest
example of pure Doric architecture in
this country, on the easterly side of Ea
gle street, between Pine and Steuben
streets, Its walls and partitions all of
solid stone, very much as if its balls,
rooms and stairs bad been carved out
within a huge block of marble.
It was completed In 1S42, costing the
state about $350,000. It is built entirely
of Sing Slug marble, quarried and cut
within the prison walls.
The old capitol belug inadequate to
accommodate tho increasing business
of the state, this additional building
was planned and built and Is still used
for the offices of the state comptroller,
the state engineer and surveyor and the
state banking department
In a spirit of economy It was decided
to have as much as possible of ths
work done by the prisoners from the
material found within the prison walls
at Sing Slug, fairly good material, too,
but not the best, as it is a soft marble,
as evidenced by the wear which now
shows so plainly in the steps and by the
crumbling of some of the stones from
exposure to the weather. All the mate
rial was cut to completion within the
walls of the prison under such plans
that when shipped to Albany there
would be no further work necessary
except practically to lay one stone up
on another, and so on until the whole
was assembled in the completed build
ing. To accomplish this detailed plan a
system of marking the stones was nec
essary. The plans were carefully made
and a system of marking elaborately
laid out by the architect In charge, who
found In the prison at Sing Sing a life
prisoner whose record showed m to
be an engineer of the highest ability
and who seemed as competent as any
man In the country to carry out the
wotfc to be done In the prison, and nat-
umU he wa not oawullnc to follow
bis cheaem profession la preference to
dotnf the ! tabor of cutting or
qtafTTtnsr scene. So, following the
spurt of eeenosny referred to above, the
plana In detail and the system of mark
lng were turned orer to him and the
whole work at that end giren over to
hie foil snparlntaaiaeaee and absolute
control.
In due time the stones In their vari
ous shapes and aleea and In quantity
for the whole boildlng were delivered
ta Albany and the work of construc
tion commenced in accordance with the
plans and system of marking original
ly furnished. "With the very first stone
there was trouble. It not only did not
fit the place, but none of the stones
marked to adjoin it fitted It, and, fur
ther. It did not seem ever Intended for
the place the number indicated. In
vestigation brought out that the stones
were not of the sizes or shapes speci
fied and shown on the plana, and, as to
the system of marking, it was quite
evident that the stones brought togeth
er by it had no relation whatever to
each other.
The bewildered architect hardly knew
whether be was a candidate for the
asylum or possibly for Sing Sing. How
ores, a careful verification of his plans j
and his marking system proved their
correctness, and the blame fell square
ly upon the civil englneet, the life pris
oner. He was questioned, taken severe
ly to task and roundly rated for bis ID
competence and threatened and abused.
He bmC tt all aalmly. It looks to me
like a mighty good Joke on you fellows.
Anyway It Is tha best joke I have hoard
etnee I came to Sing Sing."
A to their continued threats be said:

I.OCAL, STOCK ASSOCIATION.
Residents ! Mauamtal Cennlry
Effect Organisation.
A number of local stockmen, who
have been pasturing their stock in J what
is now the Heppner forest reserve, met
in this city Saturday and perfected or-
gamzaoizinx a local stock association
for their mutual protection aud to con
fer with the government atieuts regard-
iog the phsiu in.: of stock nn 'the re
serve, says the Monument Enterprise.
Oscar Scbafer was elected president
and Thomas Haywood secretary of the
association. Emmet Cochran was au
thorized to act s the association's rep
resentative to the executive committee
of the Grant County Stock Association,
it being the wish of the members of the
looat organizition to become Ja branch
of the county association.
Harmony prevailed throughout the
entire meeting. The association will
ask the government to set aside a cer
tain portion of the reserve for the ex
clvsive use of the local stockraisers,
where horses, cattle and sheep range
together under the same conditions as
heretotore has existed. It is to be
hoped that th- government will listen
to the appeal ot the association. The
neighb ring stockmen of this vicinity
are ranging their stock together on same
range without the slightest hitch or in
fringement upon each other.

The first attempt at glassmaklng in
this country was some years before the
Revolution and was made af Quincy,
Mass., by a company of Germans.
Some specimens of their articles still
exist The place in Quincy where their
manufactory was established acquired
from them the name of Germantown,
which name it retains to the present
time. The site of their manufactory ia
now occupied by the institution called
the Sailors' Snug Harbor. About 1783
Robert Hewes, a well known citizen of
Boston, made probably the first effort
to establish a window glass tnanufae
tory on this continent Mr. Hewes car
ried Ms works to the fuel and erected
his factory in the forest of New Hamp
shire. Many persons have an objection to
riding in elevators, or, more property
speaking, this objection should be class
ed as a feeling of dread or fear. But
according to the superintendent of a
big office building In Philadelphia the
safest place for a person to be is m an
elevator that la, statistically speaking.
In the set of elevators for which sta-:
tisttes have been kept by the superln-!
tendent there has een an average
transportation of 2,400,000 persons each
year for seven years, an aggregate of
14800,000, and of this number but one

A Famous Widow.
One of the most famous widows of
antiquity was Agripplna, the widow of
Germanicus. During the lifetime of
ber husband she attended Xdm In all bis
campaigns and shared his dangers.
Suspecting tliat her husband had been
poisoned, she had his presumed mur
derer assassinated and was herself
soon after treated with such indignity
by Tiberius that she was driven to
despair and starved herself to death.

fruit picked all of it. The fruits are
principally apples and peaches.
The place is completely equipped
with everything necessary for farming
and stockraising which will go with the
ranch at the purchase price as follows:
Twenty-three hnndred head of first
class stock sheep, 32 head of fine Merino

where they had diverged from purity
of style, aad the system of marking
he had changed altogether, but If they
could find some one who understood
his system the building would go up
