Especial Correspondence


Washington, June There isn't GO
ing to be any great hurry about the
confirmation of E. Dana Durand as di-
rector of the census
Mr.. Durand will undoubtedly be
confirmed in due time; but not right
away; and back of this statement is
the explanation that, taking this NOM
nation as an excuse for delay, there
will be some investigation into condi-
lions in the census bureau.
Members of the senate committee on
census, of which Senator LaFollette is
chairman. want to know about the
various. charges affecting the condi-
ton, business and moral, in the bu-
reau. They want to know the details
concerning the contracts under which
the government has paid almost a
million dollars in royalties since the
last census, for the use of mechani-
cal tabufator; and generally. they are
DESTROYS of knowing just what was the
real inspiration of the determined OPP
position in the department of COM
merce and labor to the retention of Di-
rector S. N. ID. North. Some of these
things have been looked into in a cas-
ual way, but the committee wants to
know more about them; especially the
chairman of the committee. So, on the
preteXt of making sure that Mr.. Dur
and is the right man for director, there
viii be considerable delay, and mean
while good many people will be given
opportunity to answer questions about
the bureau. After these are duly an
swered the nomination will be con-
tirmed, so far as can now be judged.
| Nobody has anything against Mr.. Dur
and; indeed. many of the people who
have been friends of Director North
lean to the idea that Durand is bet
ter man for the position. But they
want to know.
There is an intimation that the in
vestigation may develop some interest
ing things about the higher powers of
the department of commerce and la
Dor, which may prove important in the
future. The suggestion of an undue
admixture of politics in the business of
the census bureau has attracted at
tention, and will get some investiga-
ton.
About week ago, Senator Hale
presented an order, in his capacity as

Representative Cattle Sales.
Below are a few of the represent
tive cattle sales:
Suckers and Feeders.

Outlook for later this week is not en-
couraging to broad country demand,
and most all buyers are inclined to go
slowly. The small offerings of good
quality feeders and stock steers sell
steady, but medium and plain classes
are weaker sale.
Since complaining is about finished
some of the traders are inclined to look
for a little growth in country demand,
but it is plain that the market will not
be very strongly patronized as long as
prices remain on high level. The
country has looked upon feeder cattle
as too high to admit of profitable hand
ling with corn at present prices. Good
pasturage doesn't stimulate keen
buying interest at present high rates.
The cattle most in demand are those
which can be given the minimum
amount Of feed.
