DUNN SAYS THE LOBBY DID 1T.

Said State Auditor Dunn Of the
passage of the Reeves mineral tax
bill yesterday and the attempts at
bribery of the house members:
1.-THE bill was passed by lobby.
lists. The bill would have been
defeated in the house on It's merits,
if the lobbyists had kept their
hands off. At least dozen mem.
bers have informed me that they
knew the position taken by this
Office was the correct one, but the
braze n faced work Of the lobbyists
compelled them to vote for the
bill. If the bill passes the senate
and becomes law, as far as this
office is concerned, we will honest
ly and earnestly endeavor to
enforce its provisions, but I am
decidedly of the opinion that the
practical workings of the law will
not prove satisfactory. That is

Trade Conditions.

Business conditions for the past
week have been practically the same
as for the several proceeding weeks.
The country trade Is still very light.
owing to- the almost impossible con-
dition Of the roads. The trade from
the wood and tie business Is now al
most completely stopped for this
year, and during the last week there
was but small amount Of pulp
wood and ties hauled in. Merchants
look for a revival soon, for under
the present weather conditions the
roads will Re in good shape Tor
wheeling in about two weeks, and
the farmers will then do their spring
trading. Log driving will soon CON-
mence. and the other industries that
are awaiting the breaking up Of the
ice in the rivers will start up again,
giving employment to many men
now idle.
There was but very little change
in wheat prices during the week. and
only u small amount was marketed.
Eggs have declined in price and are
now quoted at 10 cents.
