Recently an inquiry regarding the
Dag situation was made by Governor
Lister of Washington in behalf of the
grain growers of that state.
One thousand bales, about one
third Of years supply, is all for
which the board has thus far been
aoie to get a guarantee of delivery.
Superintendent Henry Drum of the
penitentiary reports to Governor Lis
ter that there are 1,114,25O sacks now
on hand and enough jute to manu-
faeture $4,000 more, of which $685.
500 have been contracted for, leav-
ing a surplus Of only 6O254O sacks.
The grain inspection department Of
the public service commission reports
that 100000 sacks may be expected
from the California penitentiary, e..
100000 to 100000 sacks old and
new in Portland, but very few in Sc
attic.
Concerning the s0,0O0,0O sacks
ordered from Calcutta, the report to
Governor Lister, states:
The contracts for these sacks are
all drawn with a war clause, making
1t trifle uncertain as to their being
filled However, all of our inform
ants seemed hopeful. All sacks from
Calcutta are shipped from there to
Hongkong, where they are reshipped
to this coast and there are some Of
the sacks in Hongkong. but none in
transit between Hongkong and the
coast"

PORTLAND, Ore. - For the sole

North Portland yards over night,
bargain hunters would not pay above

buyers paid for similar quality yes

With the outside buyers eliminated
from the market, the bargain hunters
offer whatever they please for the

PEELED to accept these lower figures

Could Save Large Sum.

Pierre Bankruptcy within six
months for any private business firm
or corporation conducted on the same
business methods as those of the state
of South Dakota" is tee statement of
State Auditor H. B. Anderson in his
last biennial report. He asks for the
creation of a state board Of audit and
accounts to pass upon every claim
against the state before it is paid, and
with power to subpoena witnesses and
compel their testimony on any claims
presented. He says that by proper
business methods the state could save
$25O,O0O every year. He also reiter-
ates his condemnation Of the contin-
gent fund, to which he announced his
opposition in his report two years ago,
and urges that such funds be abolish
ed. He also wants a stronger statute
than that of two years ago prohibit
ing state officers and employees from
expanding public moneys in travel out
side the boundaries of the state. The
fiscal transactions OF the year just
closed are stated to have been the
largest in the history of the state, the
total amount of warrants issued be-
ing $3.607, 824.7 20, which was $135, 7O2
greater than for the previous year.

State Refuge for Birds.

Pierre.-If the comments from the
northeastern part of the state are any
basis as to the sentiment of creating
a state bird refuge for game birds
of the northwest at the old Fort Sisse-
ton reservation, the legislature will
certainly be asked to take action, and
will at least consider the proposition.
Should such a refuge be established,
the state would have control of the
Sisseton in the east and the state
forest game preserve in the west,
while the government will care for the
national bird refuge at the big Belle
Fourche dam, giving the state three
such refugees. The idea has been ad-
vanced that the state might go even
farther in its efforts to aid in the prop
agation of game. by creating other
refugees where large tracts of state
land are owned in several parts OF the
state.

submit the matter to congress for
consideration at the present session.
The attention of the congressional rep
resentatives of the state interested
was called to the situation, and they
assured hte South Dakota representa-
tives that they would push the issue
along.
They also in company with Con-
gresham Burke called at the Indian
department to look into the matter OF
indian land leases in Mellette county.
The state holds a number Of tracts in
that county. but since tn. lease prices
On the Indian pastures in that county
have been placed at SO high a rate

state sections. The proposition being
that ii the Indian leases are reduced to
a point where stockmen will consider
them, the state tracts in the same ter
ritory can be leased.
