One of the biggest single deals In wool ever made here, wss( completed Thursday when . seventy -five1, percent of the sheepmen of this section sold - their 1927 clip to .Ctoarlea-JrWebb and company of Philadelphia! , ; The deal was made through the Bank of """ Ataerlcau Tort ''U;epreenUf3ve3'o' ' the Eastern concern. , ; . , , ,;, ;.. - at 3 cents per pound which, figuring on an eight pound average,?- would tiring a totaLof 128,0O0.00 sf.t6'Vfhe growers. . They received . an Initial payment of .$1.00 per, fleece, thecal-. thecal-. Ance to be paid as the woot . Is loaded at the various shearing corrals, v; This Is considered a very good sale by the sheepmen and business men on the Inside of thejmarket Prices have been ranging around. 27 and 28 cents and up to 30 cents. jWben.the offer came of 32 cents the growers decided de-cided to lose no time In selling and - everyone who could signed up. How ever, the concern only desired 50,000 fleeces and . when this number., was secured the buyer; had - to stop 'sign "lag although more producers " were waiting to contract withhim, ; Lftat year the price ' started out at 85c but few eold ..and as the -Season advanced the market slipped and w most of the growers ' received along about 30 to 31 cents. The price failed fail-ed to stiffen materially during the year, and. to date the 42- cent effeted - here Is the .best price mooted. The winter season has been very near ideal for the sheep on the desert and sheepmen expect a heavy clip of a good grade wool. Water and feed conditions since the first storms have been very good. A short time In the early fall some concern was felt on account of the dry condition and necessity of staying close to water but when the storms started no furher trouble "was experienced and the sheep have done fine. From. at- present 't outlooks, the - growers will experience a good year. A heavy shearing, , fair wool prlcef i and the prospect of a good lamb crop will make the year one above he average for most of the sheepmen. . - American JTork Co-op. institution Elects r " , Directors For Year At me annual stockholders' meat. tag of the American fork Cojop held Monday last, a report ot the business done by that Institution during the ' year. 192 was given which showed an increase over that of the preced. teg year.

Oitixens Attend rHearing. "On Sunday Closing BillT r1 7- By Rep. Shelley Tuesday a committee of cltixens consisting of Mayor Jameo M. Grant, Clarke,. Thomas Coddjngton, a t, Shelley, Earl a Greenwood and Walter Durrant attended the public hearing of House Bill Number 44 in. troduced by RepresentaUve George F. ?hel!ey 0? ..this cltyTand to lend their upport to the measur."--N Mr, Shelley's bill proposes to give to the municipalities the right to pro. hlblt certain amusements and- busi. Besses from operating on Sunday, this to be accomplished by clarifying the state law, which according to the bill's supporters, does not go far enough in its authorisation to cities, merely to "regulate" such enterprises on Sunday- , Mr. Shelley, at the hearing, in his preliminary, statement, pointed ... out that the bill need not " affect, - any cities or towns which do not desire tho Sunday closing. The local coun. ells, he declared, knew the sentiments of the people and could act upon It James H. Clarke, spokesman for the American -Pork committee, said that it was his belief a moral issne was Involved. "I bellove there 1 a morar fssne InToiveJ'sald llr.'tnirke. "I believe most people are professedly, professed-ly, Chrlstalns and have respect for the Christian Sabbath. It may be all right for Salt Lake, Odgen, Park City, Eureka and Bingham to keep open on Sundays if they want to bat has Salt Lake any .right to compel us to follow fol-low their lead? The Idea of patron, age determining the attitude of the community is wrong. Under that system we would still have saloons In operation. If the law sought to enforce closing regulations through, out the state, there might be some room for objection, but at long as it merely extends the light of local self. government, there can be no objec. tion. This legislature will bo nn. true to its trust if it falls io give the people the right of local option."
