The government will appropriate 30 per cent of the ex pense. There seems to be a wide diver gence of opinion, and the board Is not desirious of going to the expense of a bond election, if the sentiment against the program is overwhelming. However, it is felt by the board and others that the $60,000 from the government is a tempting morsel that may never fall into Carbon county's lap again.

G. Wool Selling at 25c to 33c Sheep men are feeling good with wool and lamb prices now commanding something like they used to. Late sales of wool are from 33 cents for the Wyoming product down to 25 and 27 cents in this state, with the outlook for an even healthier market as shear lng time approaches. Lamb prices topped at 10 cents at Chicago recently, but 9 cents is about the prevailing level in the marketing centers at present. That should pull these sheep men out of the depression, or help, and cause a little sunshine to radiate on the landscape. Beef cattle don't respond to these Increases partly because the number Is higher, being 57 million head In the country, while there are only 54 million sheep. But some say it is Argentine beef coming in, while eating more chickens and rabbits Is a contributing factor, according to report. But there is no over supply of either.
