REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
STATE

The secretary Of state has issued his
biennial report upon the condition OF
his office and the state matters which
come under his jurisdiction. He shows
that the number of land grants for the
two years were 1872 and the states in
come therefrom amounted to Sc, 911. He
calls attention to the fact that the state
has no means of knowing whether the
lands disposed of in these grants are
really public lands or not. His office,
he says, often receive protests from
persons alleging that their lands are
being entered as public lands. In 9TH
er instances persons enter state lands,
and cut or sell the timber without ever
perfecting their grants. On the whole
our system of entry of public lands
seems to be very defective.
The secretary thinks that with salts
factory legislation and a stable policy
as to the oyster lands, much capital
would be invested in the growing and
canning of oysters.
He calls attention to the fact that the
last legislature abolished the office of
enrolling clerk and placed upon the
secretary of state the duty of enrolling
the bills Of the Legislature, with GER
tain provisions for clerical assistance.
but he says it does not provide the as
sistance necessary to conduct that Of
fee. This was a procedure of the legis-
lature that no n outside of that body,
and few within it, understood. What
was the motive was never explained
to the satisfaction of anyone. There
a been much complaint of the enroll
ing clerks office. TO get rid of this
complaint, 1t seems, the Legislature
ing a competent man Inc requiring
him to do his duty.
He calls attention to the Imperative
need of more room for filing away the
books and records of the state. In this
and the matter Of a proper enrolment
of the acts of the Legislature, the legls-
lature seems to have been f~oolishly
penurious-provident where a more
liberal expenditure would have saved
money in the end, especially as regards
the keeping Of the records and books.
The secretary is constantly receiving
trademark laws, etc. He suggests that
q modern. liberal trademark law
could be made a convenience and pro-
lection to concerns doing business in
this state and a source of considerable
revenue" This latter suggestion we
expect to be seized upon by the legis-
allure now beginning it's session, for
it will be forced to resort to every
available means to raise funds for
state expenses and to relieve present
heavy taxation upon real and person
al property.
The industrial advancement of the
state in the past few years, he says,
has been especially marked and is evil
denced by the rapid increase in indus
trial enterprises and frequent inquiries
from beyond the state as to her re-
sources, with requests for information
about our corporation laws.
Then follows a review Of the laws OF
the state on the formation of corpora
tions n their taxation, accompanied
by q table of the companies chartered
by the state under general corporation
laws during the last two years. 1t is
a very full report and gives much in
formation CT interest.

P0ST-SEAS0N GAMES
AWAITED WITH INTEREST.
Cardinals and browns Will Play Sew
en- Contests Beginning October
for Local Championship.

With the pennant races in both the Ma
tional and American leagues practically
settled. the eyes of the local fans ere
turned toward the post-season series Of
games between the Cardinals and Browns,
ship of st. Louis.
That the games will be hard fought
goes without saying, as the rivalry be-
fcan league teams is keen.
Although the showing of the Cardinals
IN the National League pennant race has
been anything but brilliant, they have q
eyes OF local enthusiasts by winning the
series from the Browns. This they will
try to do, as the Cardinals feel that it is
up 10 them TO oo something heroic to
make good with the local patrons of
the game in 1894, and by defeating the
local American League team they will
do this.
On the other hand the Browns have at
last sNuck their stride, and TO be wal
loped py the Cardinals would be pill
that Hedges,s pets would not at all relish;
four games 70 record-breaking crowds, but
neither side showed any superiority, eacn
winning two games.
The Browns bac ackers at the time put up
the claim that the Cardinals were lucky,
while the Cardinal partisans opined that
the American Leaguers picked up the
horseshoe. WIN this spirit pfeVdl1nB IHe
fall games were arranged. and the out
come will decide the local championship.
On dope the Browns look to be the
better team, but the Cardinals may take
brace when they face the Browns.
In the receiving end of the game ONeill
and coveny compare very faVorably with
Shannon and Sugden.
Powell. Sudhof, Sieyers, Wright and
Petty loom up superior TO Brown, Hackett.
Mcfarland, O'Neill and Dunleavy, but
with the uncertainties of baseball Robi-
sons twirlers may put 1t over the fancy
string in the Hedges stables.
The Cardinals weak spot is first base.
but Donovan and Robson have their
agents out for a good man at that posi-
ton, and when the series begins a new
face probably will line up on first for
the Cardinals.
At second the youngster Bocock. will
have much TO learn before he can be
classed over Farrell.
Wallace is faster than Brain. but the
latter can, when right. play surprisingly
fast ball. At third Burke is trickier than
Hill and is his equal at bat.
III the outfield, with Donovan back in
the game, the Cardinals class almost as
high ais the Browns, and with the extra
vim caused by the rivalry existing be-
Cardinals will not be handicapped much
in that department of the game.
Calling II an even break in catcher, and
giving the Browns the shade in the pitch
er's department batting will have much
to do with the settlement of the local
championship. and ct this department Of
the game the Cardinals have ii on their
more experienced rivals.
AT any rate, the games will be hard
fought ones and should be interesting on
account of the rivalry existing in the
local major-league camps.

Chicago sports are discussing the posi-
bility of the fighting game opening up
again in their city. but seem somewhat
aghast at the manner in which such init
nations have been received by the pro-
moters.
1t appears that every deadbeat in the
managerial line. every promoter of bouts
and of clubs which furnished fiascos last
winter is on the scene again and plans to
break into the game if the Chicago Ath-
letic Club succeeds in pulling off a tour
nament
The presence of these gentry caused its
shutdown last winter. So many bouts
were carded which never came of. so
many doubious-looking affairs were pulled
off in the same Institutions and so
wrecked was the attendance at the game
that the reputable clubs agreed TO close
down. Official action made this move
compulsory for the small fry about one
week later.
II the minor clubs break into the game
up there-or, rather If the pugilistic pro-
moters of last winter get hold of the
halls and try to run fights as they did
last winter-the finish is easy to see.
This view is taken by the Chicago pu-
gilistic writers, who deplore the state of
affairs which enables the takers to ruin
the game.

of shape. Fftz is to take up training

While Terry is TO box Sammy Smith in
Philadelphia tonight, most interest in his
matches centers in the bout arranged be-
tween the former champion and Jimmy
Briggs. This will be fought October ] at
Boston, and will be a twelve-round affair.
Young Corbett is to meet Tim Callahan
OF Philadelphia about the same time.
Corbett has a match with Dave Sulli-
van carded. This will take place in Bos-
ton about the middle of October. The
champion certainly cannot be accused of
picking easy men when he lines up against
a proposition like Sullivan
The latter is well up in the 1908, and
probably weighs nearly as much as does
the champion. So the latter will not have
his customary advantage in weight when
he meets him. The fight should be about
the best witnessed in the East recently.
