OUTLOOK BRIGHT IN MARKET FOR WOOL While the wool trade in the west has not assumed fhu propor tions thus far this year as con fidently expected at the start of the season, the general opinion is that there is nothing in the sit uation to cause a very pesimistic feeling in regard to prices. At the third series of colonial wool sales in London recently there was an advance of from 5 to 10 per cent in prices over the pre vious sale, with competition very keen. Remarking about the sit uation in Wyoming, where grow ers are firm in the belief that there is a combination among buyers to restrain advances, and most of the crop is being held, J. M. Wilson, vice president of the National Wool Growers' association and leader among the Wyoming grow ers, said at Denver: "We have had an oiler from a reliable man to handle our wool for us for 25 per cent of what he saves us over present prices, we to be the judge of what he saves. This would indicate that the at tempt of the buyers to force prices down is not warranted by the sit uation and that they are in a com bine to secure our wool below its value. We do not propose to be buncoed this way and are taking steps to protect ourselves." On the Hurricane Deck of a Qua.y County Bronk "Dobe" Williams, the queen bee of all the cow punchers for miles around, anchored himself on the hurricane deck of "Geronimo," the chief bucker of all the tribe of Quay County bronks, out in front of the livery stable Thursday, to the great enjoyment ol a large crowd of lovers of aerial sports. The bronk was one given John Henry by an enemy who hoped to hear of his being kicked to death, but John got wise to the revolutions of the white of the bronk's eve. and decided to ride by proxy, "Dobe" undertaking the job for a purse. While "Dobe was enroute to the look out, Gt ronimo" sailed straight up through seven strata of thin air, then turned earthward, snbmissive to gravity, and after a time hit the earth at an angle of fifteen de grees, making only one track, that showing a nose and two claws. Iiy this time ' Dobe" had his cigarette lighted, and the voyage began proper. There was a rough sea and a touch of sea sickness, but "Dobe" was aboard for the trip; the cargo was neither misplaced nor injured. The bronc brought up amazed and deeply chagrined that anything but hair could stick to his back. "Dobe" and "Geronimo" will make an ascension here the night of the Fourth, and "Dobe" will pull off the fire works from the saddle, shoot the shoot, loop the loop, and wind up with the great sea dive of fifteen feet under the earth in the McGee addition.
