declared Rev. A . S. Gregg, o f the In
ternational Reform bureau today, with
reference to the opium conference call
ed by President R oosevelt which be
gins its session at Shanghai February

and reports from Dr. E. W . Thwing,
special secretary o f the reform bureau
who has been sent to Shanghai by the
bureau to attend the opium conference

Pocatello, Idaho, tJan. 18.— Chief
Forester Pinchot tûrned down two invi
tations to attend the convention o f the
National Wool growers’ association,
which adjourned in this city Saturday.
Mr. Pinchot's refusals were based on
what he termed the selfish and narrow
policy o f the association toward the
government forestry service.

On a final showdown on the Chicago
wool storage proposition it was found
that the signatures to the Chicago con
tract were 4,500,000 pounds short o f
the required 25,000,000 pounds neces
sary to insure the Chicago market. A t
a meeting o f those already signed up
it was found to be impossible to secure
pledges o f the required amount among
delegates present at the Pocatello con
vention, and a campaign w ill be inaug
urated on the outside.
Wool buyers from Chicago and St.
Louis have been active during the con
vention in buying the 1909 clip at
from 18 to 21 cents. Many woolgrow-
ers, heretofore considered as staunch
supporters o f the Chicago plan, have
contracted their clips to private buy
ers, allured by the remarkable prices.
