that submitted by the other state
printers. This may become apparent
later.
The bids were opened on July 2
and the matter has been laid over
until now, and then the decision of
the commissioners was not made pub
lie until after the news leaked out.
About three weeks ago the bidders
were called to Montpelier and then
asked If the state furnished the paper

Whereas such printing has always

The Argus says: The contracts for
the state printing have been awarded
by the printing commissioners, and
the printers and publishers of the
state have been ignored, fact which
will undoubtedly cause trouble. TIE
bulk of the printing was awarded to a
New York firm last Friday, or at
least representative of the firm in
question SO alleged when he visited
the city and made contracts with G..
+. Buswell to do certain portions of
the work, which his company would
be compelled to do or have done in
this city.
The facts in the case did not come
out until today and they have caused
good of Indignation among those
not interested as we'll as those who
are, and the commissioners have been
severely criticised by all for sending
the work outside of the state. Jus,
why the matter was not made public
after the awards is not known.
A representative of the st. Albans
Messenger states that he inquired in
regard to the matter of Secretary OF
State T. A.Howland, who is member
of the board, last Monday and was told
that the award had not been made.
The representative of the the New
York concern stated several days be-
fore that the award had been made to
his firm and arranged to sub-let GER
tain portions Of the contract.
When the commissioners were ask
ed today when the bids were awarded
there appeared to be a good deal of
hard thinking necessary to settle the
date. Finally the Argus man was
told that the award was made yester-
day-Tuesday. Mr.. Buswell had
closed contracts with the New York
firm last Friday, the statement may
be pardonably regarded with some
little suspicion.
The award was as follows:
The laws to the Free Press aSSocla-
tion, the directory to the Watchman
company, and the rest Of the printing
bid on goes to the Wynkoop-Hallen'
beck. Crawford company.
Just why the laws went to the Free
Press Is not apparent, as tho hld Of

STATE PRINTING
The Contracts Mainly Let 10
Parties Outside Of Vermont
BITTER i FEELING OVER IT
Vermont Printers Are Mad
and Vow Vengence.

Montpelier, Aug. %. - The one
subject discussed every where is the
action Of the state commissioners in
awarding the contracts for most of
the state printing for the next two
years to a firm in Albany, New
York.
There was a largely attended meet
ing of the Typographical Union last
night and the whole matter was
strongly discussed. They will soon
Issue statement to the people. De-
cided action will be taken. 1t is un.
derstood that the labor organizations
of this city and Barre have promised
to aid them. The whole matter will
be carried to the legislature and an
effort made to secure legislation that
will give the state work and state
money to Vermont printers and pub
fishers.
The Montpelier Journal says;
The State commissioners on print
ing have awarded all the State print
ing except the law and legislative
directory to the printing firm of
Wynkoop, Haulenbeck and Crawford
Company of Albany and New York.
The laws were awarded to the Free
Press office, Burlington,~ and the leg
islative directory to the Watchman
Company.
This includes the printing of the
House and Senate bills. AS these bills
required to be delivered, printed and
bound ready for the use of the legis-
lators each morning, it was necessary
to print them in town.
Last Friday the manager Of the
New York company was ih the town
and made a proposition to G. f. Bus
we'll that he take this part of the
work off the company's bands, as it
would entail heavy expense to set up
plant here for two months, includ-
ing type setting machines, printing
presses and binding machines. Mr..
Buswell returned this morning from
New York, where he has peen in con-
ference with the company and is to
take the contract to do this work.
The contract was awarded by the
commissioners Tuesday afternoon.

Germany and American Meat.

The department OF agriculture is still
working on the problem of German re-
strictions on our export meats, says
The Breeders Gazette. 1t presents a
case very difficult of solution, because
the restrictions are allegedly rested on
hygienic grounds, whereas there is
ample reason to believe that a desire
to protect the German producer lies at
the bottom Of the embargo. Notwith-
standing this, u government officials
are determined to make out a good
case for the purity and whoiesomeness
of our meats, and as n step in that
plan 1t has been decided to send to
Germany a practical working exhibit

government never existed, in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Cavalier, that got ON better
with settlers than the much abused
Hudson's Bay Company.
The old settlers told of a grasshop
per scourge at a date forgotten by
them that made a clean sweep OF every
growing thing, and that grasshoppers
were piled up by the winds and waves
o feet deep on the shores of Lake
Manitoba and Shoal Lake. They
stated that after the grasshoppers had
done all the damage they could, as
every thing was eaten, the Catholic
clergy got up a procession and said
prayers, and on the next day the hop
pers quit hopping, took to their wings
n flew away to the northward and
were seen no more.
The settlers south of the line had
to depend upon the Selkirk settlement
for their bread and butter. Old Father
Belcourt. of st. Joseph. near the Penn
bina mountain, a Catholic priest. and
a rustler in all things for himself first
and for his people next. built a hull
mill at his mission at st. Joseph and
run it for a few years with oxen, and
ground what little wheat the breeds
raised. Having no bolt to take the
bran out of the -four, Dit had to be run
through sleeves OF. eaten husks and all.
The breeds did not furnish wheat
enough to make the mild pay and they
could not be induced to greater indus
try. SO the good old nan had to give
the mill up. The result was that the
breeds returned to- the coffee mill on
ate the grain raw or roasted. That
mill was the first. Geo. Emerling and
John Mayn built the next, and that
mill is now one of the paying concerns
of Pembina county at Walhalla, having

chant mills.
