Rain is very much needed all over the state

REJECT BIDS Fon PHOTOGRAPHS.
Work Contemplated by Contractors
Not What is wanted.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-After an investi-
cation that has been in progress some time
the bids .or supplying Photographic maps,
plates, etc, for the general land office dur
ing the next fiscal year have been rejected
and new bids have been called for to be
submitted June Is. This action is the re-
suit OF a determination OF Commissioner
Hermann that bids submitted should be on
an understanding that photolithographs
should be made from pen and ink tracings
direct and not from phOtolithographic
copies, which are usually worn and de-
faced. This was reached titer a thorough
inquiry which disclosed the fact that the
old practice had allowed plates forming
valuable records and sacred" archives of
the government to be taken from the office
and photographed without pen and ink
tracings. leaving the copies easily erasible
with little handling, though the object of
the work was to replace worn documents
for preservation of the records. The fail
ure to make the tracings, 1t is stated, re-
suited in saving of about $4,000 to the
contractors. When the item was reached
in the course of business a few weeks ago
II was held up. and all bids rejected.

SENDING OF WHEAT IMPRAcTICABLE
Peculiar Conditions Which Prevail
In India.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Chand-
Ter has received letter from George A.
Kittrdge concerning the proposed relief
expedition for India. Mr.. Kittridge spent
many years in India, and says from his
knowledge of the conditions, the proposed
shipment of wheat will be impracticable anu
says there Is no organization in India for
the distribution of food, and that the famine
districts are scattered from Madras in the
south and to Punjab in the north. ut would
be almost impossible he says, Ito divide
large quantity of grain among the needy.
The grain would go to India In bulk but
there are no elevators there or other means
of receiving it in that form. 1t must be put
into bags the bags must be bought and
the grain filed in the bags on board the
steamer. Apart from the expense of the
bags, i do not see how the bags could be
filled in that climate in the holds OF the
steamers. There Is the expense of send
ing the grain to India, and after Its arrival
at a port, the expense OF railway freight
heavy in India-Of sending 1t up country.
theory has been promulgated in India that
the plague arose from wheat, the result Is
that no wheat OF -four will be received in
other parts of India from Bombay. The
authorities in Calcutta have forbidden the
receipt of -four ground at -four mills at
Bombay. Under no circumstances there
fore, must the grain be sent to Bombay.
II before its arrival in India the plague
should break out in Calcutta that city would
be put into the same position, and the grain
would have to remain there. Very few OF
the people of India have ever seen Indian
corn. They would have no means OF grind
ing 1t, nor would they know how to cook it,
Wheat. too, is used by comparatively few
of the people"
He suggests that II the contributions are
sent In the form of money, 1t would be dis
tributed in a manner to be OF some use to
the suffering people of India.
