British Parliamentary Reports.


American journalism has never under
taken one task that burdens the produc-
ton OF the newspapers OF London. That
IS the continuous publication OF verbatim
reports Of speeches in the national law

during his long public career. made It
his repeated lament that the proceedings
OF Congress were not published in fun
IN the press. as are those OF the British
Parliament But II is 10 be remembered
that in this country the Congressional
Record performs function that has no
exact parallel IN England.
Moreover. Mr.. Reed. on the floor or in
the Chair OF the House, had his place

after THE INNOCENT PURCHASERS

About $4,000, it is estimated by
some, is the total amount involved
in the claims made and to be made
by the government against residents
of this section for lumber purchased
by them in past years, the same com
ing from government land. Special
agents have been investigating the
matter for months, and although the
parties to whom notices have been
sent were innocent purchasers, they
are requested to settle up at the rate
of $l2 per thousand feet Failure to
make settlement voluntarily will sub
ject them to three times this price, or
$50 per thousand, in case the govern
ment is compelled to enter suit.
This lumber was cut by various
sawnill men before the days of the
railroad in Fergus county. It was
purchased largely by residents of this
city at that time in the construc.
