Geo. w. Wiley, state fish COM
missioner, is in hard luck. Two
years ago the legislature forgot
to appropriate any money for his
office. He put in a deficiency
claim of $500 this year. The leg
islature allowed the claim and
put it in the miscellaneousappro-
priation bill. Wiley called at the
state auditors office to get his
warrant. Auditor Cole looked at
the item in the miscellaneous bill
and found that it provided for a
deficiency for the years 1902-1903.
1t should have read 1900-1901.
The auditor has referred the
matter to the attorney general.
1t was the intention of the legis-
lature to help Wiley out and the
attorney general may rule that
the dates were errors and advise
the payment of the claim.-K. c,

The Irl r. Hicks 1901 Almanac

Whatever may be said of the sci
entific causes upon which the Rev.
Irl R. Hicks bases his yearly fore
casts of storm and weather, it is a
remarkable fact that specific warn
ing of every great storm, flood, cold
wave and drouth, have been plainly
printed in his now famous Almanac
for many years. The latest startling
proof of this fact was the destruction
of Galveston, Texas, on the very
day named by Prof. Hicks in his
1900 Almanac, as one of disaster by
storm along the gulf coasts. The
1901 Almanac, by far the finest,
most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This re-
markable book of nearly two hun
dred pages, splendidly illustrated
with charts and half-tone engravings
goes as a premium to every sub
scriber who pays one dollar a year
for Prof. Hicks journal, Word and
Works. The Almanac alone is sent
