C, Jane 17. 1911. The Secretary of tho National Wool Growers Association, who has been In Washington for some time, makes the following statement relative to the possible effect upon the sheep industry of the passage of the democratic bill revising the wool schedule: "The new wool tariff proposed by the democratic Ways and Means Com mittee in the House, reduces the duty on raw wool to an Insignificant figure, which will neither afford revenue to the Government, or protection to the wool grower or consumer of woolen goods. 1'iuier the present i ttieie la a duty of eleven cents per pound on grease wooPimported into this country. On the face of it, this looks like a protective duty, but when we examine into the facts the actual protection given to our wool growers by this tariff against foreign wool, is in some cases less and in many cases just about half of what the law specifies. American wools shrink when scoured an avemge of 61 per cent, or in other words it takes 2.55 pounds of our grease wool to make one pound of scoured wool. roregin wools, as now imported. srtnuK , pure in scouring just about half cf what our wools shrink. Therefore, the im porter who buys foreign wools pay eleven cents duty on the grease pound, that goes Into them. At present priori it is almost imxssibU to put t'2 worth of wool In a summer suit. The value of tho wool contained in the suit la so small, that it is never a factor In reg ulating the price for which the suit U to le sold. The tariff on wool has saved the American people hundreds of millions of dollars, for it has built up this na tion a sheep industry that furnishes our people annually with 3:W,000,000 pounds of the best wool in the world, American wool Is superior to any Im ported wool, and clothing made from it will wear from twenty-five to sixty i.r cent longer than cloth made from similar grades of foreign wool. The only reason for using foreign wool in our clothes is that it may he purchased cheaper than domestic wool. Austral ia, and South America recognise the superiority of the American wool pro ducing sheep and in many instances they have purchased from us sheep fur the improvement of their foreign flocks. I have been told by manufac tures and wool experts, men who have sH'nt a lifetime in the I usiness that foreign wools as Imported did not com- with ours in wearing tpinlitics. Our Government rceognir.es this act and in letting contracts for all woolen clothing - lioth army and navy sH-ci-fies that nothing but American wool come under our observation. We think that some simple direct methods like this are most effective and would greatly appreciate your co-operation In the matter. . Thanking you In advance for the trouble It wlU put you to and trusting 1 may hear from you noon, I beg to remain, Yours truly, P. W. Graham, Western Industrial and Immigration Agent. If any of your readers will comply with the request of Mr. Graham ami send to me at Lakeview the letter de sired to le sent, with name of person to whom It should be addressed, I will oo pieasoi to typewrite same, and re turn for signature. This Is, In my be lief. highly commendable plan for advertising our county, and I ho that those from European countries named who have made good In I.ake County will comply with this reason able request.

Our wool growers is now selling protection against foreign wools of at London prices and our growers are I about 5 to 6 cents t pound, instead being driven to the wall. Our wools i of eleven cents, as the law specifies. ! The wool grower has been blamed with a duty of eleven cents, when in reality he receives only half of it. 1 his light shrink ot foreign wools is due to their inferior quality and to the fact that the piesent law allows the heavier parts of the fleece to be thrown out and permits washing of class two wools, without increasing the duty. If the House pusses its bill plucing the duty on fleece wool at 20 per cent, this will give the growers an uctual protection ingainst foreign wools, of from two to three cents .m.t jniund which in reality is no protection at nil. Since the democrats assess the duty I on the value of the imported wools, it necessarily follows that only the lower grades of wool will be imported, for the duty on them will be less than on the higher quulity of wools. In other words, this tariff cncourr.gesthe Jm portation of poor wools. Wool can be grown in Australia, ! gress of the country, South America and Africa for consider ably less than half of what it costs to produce it in this country. Therefore without adequate protection, our grow ers will soo! be driven out of the f heep business and if this democratic wool bill should pass, the value of the American sheeji will shrink JinoM), 000 in less than .ive years.

Thus the sheep industry represents an in vestment of J.k33,0OO,O0O. Is this to be destroyed purely in the interest .of political expediency? The democratic House has made an uneviable record for hatred of the sheep industry. They passed the He ciprocity Treaty admitting sheep free ; 57.000,000 sheep th. t last year produced j into this country 30. (XX). 000 pound.-- of wool. Hiiier the wool here free shear them und leave the prei-ent tariff law. the sheep of the United States have increased 49J per cent in number and 2-18 per cent in value in the past fourteen years. In addition to this increase, we slaugh tered last year 15.0O0.C0 mutton that had a powerful influence in, keeping down the price of other meat foods. The tariff on wool has never had any influence on the price of clothing and everyone understands this who has taken the pains to investigate it. An all-wool suit of clothing which you buy from tailor for $40, or from the store for $25, if the usual summer weights, contain- if it be all wool, just 7J pounds of wool as it comes from the sheep. For fine merino wool our grow ers now receive about 1 cents per pound and figuring eight pounds to the suit it would make the wool that went to make a $10 suit of clothes cot just $1.28. That is ail the wool grower gets out of the suit in spite of the tariff. You can figure this out for yourself. The average suit of clothes requires 3 3-8 yards of cloth ; the cloth weighs from ten to sixteen onuces per yard. There are very few suits of clothes, regardless of what they may of duty. They passed the Farmers Free List Hill,, re moving all the duty fromj mutton ; and placing our mutton in competition with the cheap meats produced by the half civilized natives of South America and other foreign countries. f Now they seek to complete the destructionof the sheep industry by placing Ja duty on wool which will make its production in this country impossible. The wool growers of the nation oidy ask for a "square deal." Theyfhuve endorsed the idea of a Tariff Boards to ascertain the difference in cost of pro ducing wool in this and foreign coun tries. The representative of the Tariff Board has gone to the home of the wool growers and has been welcomed there in an endeavor to obtain the true facts as they relate to the sheep in dustry. The Tariff Board has sent ex pert accountants to many of the sheep ranches, who have gone over the books of the sheep men in a very careful manner. This JBoard will report its findings to the American people next December and the wool growers only ask that the action unon the wool tariff shall be delayed until this report makes it Kjssible for Congress to know sell for, that the wool grower gets as just what protection our sheep men are much as $2 for furnishing all the wool J entitled to. GREAT NORTHERN TO ADVERTISE OREGON sented to the treasury should be ex changed for standard silver dollars, and after that time were left to shift for themselves, being worth only th'-ir metal value, plus whatever premium coin collectors might be willing to pay for them. Nearly 8,000.000 of them were redeemed, and wnen the period for redemption ended only 2M.5H7 ofi them remained in this country, lci-s I than 1 per cent of the number that had been coined. i ue iratie uoiiars nave on one sire a sitting figure of the goddess of liberty and on the other an eagle of different dcHign from that on the standard dollar. The inscription is "United States of America, Trade Dollar, 420 grains, 900 fine." The standard dollar weighs 412) grains. The weight of tho Mexican dollar is 417.71) grains, but 92.27 per cent of it is pure silver, so that though it weighs less its metal value is about 7 per cent more than that of the old trade dollars. Probably this is the reason that the trade dollarjnever made a hit with' thi-'people of the"' Far Fast. There is good ground for sus picion that the nriginatoros f the trade dollur thought tho Orientals might be duped into taking it In preference to the Mexican dollar because of its sightly greater weight, notwithstand ing the fact that its silver value was about 7 per cent less. But tho Orient al money changers quickly learned this difference in (value, and the deception wouliln t work. The trade dollar was authori.ed by the con in no Hct of thirty-eight ye.rs ago, which became famous under the designation of "the crime of ' 73" in the free silver agitation which begun a few years later and continued with more or less virulence for more than twenty years.

The following letter was handed the Examiner by E. D. Evertet, acting secretary of the Lake County Develop ment League and is self explanatory. Portland, Ore., June 8th. 1911. Commerical Club, Lakeview, Oregon. Gentlemen: We have determined to invade Northern European countries, such as Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, England, Ireland and Scotland, in a moving picture and aavertising cam paign to'iluluce some of the good farm ers, dairymen and agriculturalists to this country to locate in the North west. It would be of material assist ance if you can find as manyjpeople as possible residing in your locality who have immigrated from any of these countries and who have prospered here. Would suggets that you find as many as possible of them and get them to write a letter, or give you the sub stance of it showing briefly what they have accomplished and have them sign the letters in duplicate, sending the original to their home paper in "tne foreign country they came from or to some influential friend who could get it published. Please send the duplioate of the letter to me. Letters of this kind published in home papers in foreign countries and also in the east ern states have brought good results in some noticeable cases that have First London Scrape Jack Johnson and his big automobile got into their first scrape in England on the 14th when he figured In a smash up in the East End. The machine was wrecked but Johnson was not hurt. The police took the names ef every one in Johnson's party. They allege he was speeding. "I guess these fellows have heard its customary to arrest me for scorching and I guess they want to be in style," he said. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA I. If. O. K K- MrvhVlKW I.IMl,K.
