specimens of some Of the blind

interest of these fishes lies in the
fact that their alliance is with,

the neighboring sea, and not with
fresh-water fishes, as is the cas-
with AmblyOpsis and its allies of

There can be little doubt that the

GOOD SEED MOVEMENT
Miller's Experience Confirms Argu-
-..l.' ments of College Experts,

MILLER, $. D.-Proof that the good seed
movement will be beneficial to the northwest is
evidenced here, where Charles Thomson, the grain
expert, has for several seasons urged the sowing
Of pure seed, resulting in the assertion by the
Brookings college specialists that this section
has more and better grain for seed than any
other in the state. Thus the theories of the pro-
fessors who are explaining the pure-seed IDEAS
have been put in practice here by Mr.. Thomson
and found true. -.
A petition for signatures or voters to have the
primary system OF nominations submitted for
ratification at the next general election, accord
ing to the initiative and referendum plan, Is be-
ing circulated here preparatory to placing it be-
fore the legislature at Pierre in January. The
name of Charles Thomson, who carried the state S
electoral vote to Washington four years ago.

BONDS OFFERED IOWA

States May Be Realized Upon.

WEBSTER CITY, IOWA.-The state of Iowa
has been offered free gift of ten bonds OF one
of the southern states.
These bonds negotiated thirty-nine years
ago and have been rcDudiated: The owners or
them make the offer. While they appear to be
vaiueless, in the hands of the state they would
become valuable. The state can sue another
state; the individual holder Of the bonds can
not bring suit to collect from the state which
issued them.
Ten of these bonds were offered to South Da-
kota and accepted and the state VIII realize e NE
face of the bonds. This makes the $4,000
offered to the state worth 500, 600.
A legislative enactment will probably be re-
quired to acquire title behalf of the state.
Some lawyers, however. believe that under the
constitution Of Iowa the state cannot accept gifts
| of this character or acquire title in bonds of
| other states. The gift is rendered in a letter
| which bore the signature of John James, adj
dressed to Governor Cummlns The writer did
