According to Sinythe, the shearing season in the vicinity of Arlington will close in about ten days. Tho Smythe plant will finish tomorrow, after removing the wool from the bncks of 50,- 000 head of sheep. In Umatilla county tho season will last longer ns some nro just starting in while others have finished. One of the lnrgest plants in tho country, thut of the J. E. Smyth company at Barn- hart will start up tomorrow.' As the shearing season pro gresses the prophesies of good clips are being realized. The wool this season is of especially good quality, tho fleeces being unbroken and of good staple. Authorative reports from Ida ho are to tho effect that 10,000, 000 pounds of this year's clip has already been contracted for in that state. The highest price paid was 21J cents. Reports from Wyoming, however, show that as high as 22J cents per pound has been offered there and that considerable quantities havo been sold at this extraor dinary high figure. Tho big storage warehouse tit Chicago is nearing completion and will be ready to receive ship ments from tho western states within a very short time. The wool growers havo employed n man to place in charge of the warehouso and aro paying him a salary of $14,000 annually. His name Is Whitehead, formerly with a Philadclpha firm and he is regarded as ono of tho very best wool handlers in America. A few more days will also wit ness the closo of tho lambing season.
