1.-THE steamer which carries the grain
Eets the average, being bound to de-
liver only the amount named in the
bill Of lading."
There is no special significance to
kr. Neale's report except that it fur
dishes a positive denial of Gov. Lind
statement, by one of his own employees.
All who have been led to believe that
the grain service is being conducted
On a more economical basis than for
merly have only to glance at the Off
cial reports on file.
The report of the weighmaster Of the
Duluth district shows that the number
Of bushels of grain weighed during the
grain year of 1900 was 134,749,956. The
official report of the grain year of 1899
shows that the number Of bushels of
grain weighed by the Duluth district
for that year is 1872, 52S, 657 or an excess
over the year 1900 of 57,575, 703 bushels.
The expense Of the Duluth district
for the year 1900 was $43, f08.37, while
for 1899 it was $3S, 5000, or 4,544.H less.
In other words, 1t cost the present adj
ministration $4,54474 more to weigh
l34,749,956 bushels of gran than IT did
the previous administration, to weigh
1872, $685. 57 bushels. This does not take
into account the expense of the appeal
board.
Now, these are the figures. They are
official and on file where any one can
see them.
No one would think very much about
this if it were not that it is being con-
mat rne grain service has been re-
formed" It is simply one Of many
other instances which show that all
buch preteases are not only untrue,
but knoYn to be untrue by those who
make them.
In connection with this disclosure Of
the weighing branch of the grain serv-
ice it might be interesting to some to
learn who inspects all the flax received
at Minneapolis and Something about
the merits of his work, as shown by
the records Of the Inspectors 0sSce.
Mr.. Reishus, in his fiiS. report,
hIade himself famous by saying that a
man of ordinary sense should make@a
good inspector after an apprentice
ship of two or three months! Mr..
Reishus would hardly have made such
an official statement If he had had any
experience himself.
Any one VINO KNOWS anything dpSut
inspecting grain. knows that it re-
quires the experience of years.
But what was still worse, Mr.. Rel
shus proceeded at once to act upon
this theory. As soon as he was sworn

clerk from his town, as flax SAM

clerical work in the Minneapolis Office.
He was appointed in October, and, at

PEACE IN TONTO BASIN.
Report of War between StOckmen
 Fake

The monumental liars are not all en- gagged in reporting the progress of the laqui war. There are others and one of them at least is located at Phoenix judging from the sensational report of an alleged conflict between the cattle owners of Tonto basin and owners of predatory herds of sheep. The Asso- ciated Press has been used to give wide publicity to the story of impend- ing bloOdshed in which there is not d scintilla of truth
 The facts are that J. D. Houck. who is holding several thousand head of sheep on Tonto, denuding the range, was approached by some twenty cattle men who requested him to contine his sheep to the west side of Tonto creek, and MT. Houck agreed to comply with their wishes. Some cattlemen riding after their stock scattered few of the sheep, but no material damage resulted therefrOm.
 MT. HOuck, having refused to pay taxes on the sheep, Deputy Sheriff VoriS last week levied on 2l6 head and drove them to Globe. They will be sold to satisfy the taxes next Saturday afternoon at o'clock.
 And that is all there is in it.
