Fifteen carloads of the wool have been shipped out since Friday through the Price Comission company, which, with the exception of a few cars shipped by the Farmers Mill and Elevator company handles most of the business here. Twenty carloads or about 50,000 fleeces are stored here for future sale. Most of this belongs to Heber City sheepmen who run their sheep in the Uintah basin country, shear at Myton and ship the wool out through this city. Warren C.

Jess Goodfellow, representing Dufor & Co., a French mill concern, also bought some of this clip. It is estimated that in the neighborhood of ten carloads, consisiting mainly of small farm lots from the basin country, are yet to be received. at Sheep shearing was completed Mounds Monday night, at Wellington Tuesday piorning and shearing on the Gunderson plant on Miller creek ended Tuesday night.
