We had a fine trip across the ocean only for the grub it was a little scarce but had lots of fun. We laid in port for a week, then had a nice ride on a French railroad-some ride in box cars. We did not get Pullmans, like we did in the U. S. mm A.

"The financial committee will call on those who are to receive the financial benefits of the working program, which is proposed to be carried out by this club.

Now we ask each and all of you see to it that you put your name down as a member and secure at least five additional members for the club and let us make this a banner year for Casper." The speaker concluded his remarks amid a round of spontaneous applause. Among others who addressed the gathering were Ex-Governor B. B. Brooks, who urged teamwork and unity in securing industries which will give the city a stable foundation on which to grow into what he predicted, "one of the greatest cities of the Rocky Mountain region." Mayor John F. Leeper assured unlimited co-operation on the part of it was warm today while the sun was out.

The country we came zee looked fine, so did the people, but we are way back of the line. I don't 7 J- know myself where we are, the town is too small to find on the map. One thing the matter with this place is that it's about 1000 years behind the POSTON, Feb. 14. Finner wool market in South America indicate that the drive ab the current Argentine and Uruguyan clips has not been the success that was desired and expected.

English buying is. blameJ for this and It now appears as tho this country would get from there less than its usual quota of wool. Rumor that the government has appointed a committee to buy woll in River Platte markets and that Secretary Baker proposes to take over the steamers now in South American trade have created much uneasiness here. Wool buying for American account in foreign markets is going forward this year under staggering handicaps. The most difficult problem for importers to solve is how to buy wool on a rising market, import it profitably and at the same time to give the government an option which is to remain in force until the wool is finally sold.

Already this has produced a dislocation of ordinary trading. This situation promises to be more prominent as the season progresses. Ordinarily, manufacturers are content to buy sparingly and to allow dealers to take the surplus and carry it until the mills call for further supplies, interest and other carrying charges being added to the reasonable profit. This season manufacturers have been buying more freely than usual. The tendency in all late trading has been for dealers to keep out of the market, unless given a commission to buy for mill clients.

There is no inducement to dealers to accumulate South American wools freely, under present conditions here and in Argentina. If the. Government should see fit to exercise its options, losses might be entailed, sufficient to break a small dealer and make a big hole in the excess profits of the larger concerns. This Is a partial explanation of why Boston is not buying more wool in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. It is claimed 4hat the purchases to date are far behind those of last year, though the early purchases and contracted wools are arriving freely.

Today. Matinee Tonight i Chester Thompson, who has been working for the bout for several weeks, states that a man has been sent to Chicago to attend to the final filing of contracts and that the same man will proceed from Chicago to Washington, where arrangements will be made for holding the fight on the military reserve near the city. The name of this man is withheld because, if he were known, all manner of obstacles would be placed in his path, according to those who have been promoting the fight It is announced from the governor's office that there will be no fight anywhere but on United States lands, because there is a law against prize fights in Wyoming. Thompson has intimated that he practically has permission from the War Department to hold the fight on the reserve, however, and states that the messenger from here to Washington will arrange only the final details.
