A IhioI of about SO.IXK) pound of
mohair, belonging to the Mohair Asso

las Saturday to U. S. Grant, a promi
nent gnat breeder of Dallas says, the
Dall0lMi Tver.
Only two bidder for the pool were
on hand, Mr. Grant and William
Brown, a Salem dealer, tho latter an
annual bidder at the sales which are
held in this county every year. Mr.
Grant's bid was 20c the pound net.
The sales committee were: G. .
MoBee and II. L. Fenton, of Dallas,
George Richmond, of Perrydale; C. C.
Gardner, of Bridgeport, and J. is.
Trullinger, of Sheridan,
II. L. Fenton will act as Mr. Grant s
agent and w ill attend tho weighing in
and delivering of the various lots of
mohair. The dates on which he will
be prepared to receive mohair at the
various stations in Polk County will
be as follows: April 28 and 29, Dallas;
April 30, Monmouth; May 1, Airlie;
May 2, Dallas; May 4, Sheridan; May

Mr. Brown refused to bid without

dine at 20 cents. M. Brown im
mediately offered 20J cents provided
that the pool could be guaranteed not
to exceed 40,000 pounds, but his bid
was rejected, since it would be im
possible to sell only a portion or tne
mohair and leave the other members
of the association with their mohair
on their hands.
