INTERESTING EXAMPLE OF
"RECoRD's" OvERCOCHARGE

Since an effort was apparently made
in recent communication to make it
appear that The Record was in the
habit of charging exhorbitant prices
for printing, ETC., the following cir
cumstance may be interesting to pat
rons of our job department:
The Branch Agricultural College
sent in their quarterly Winter Course
Bulletin, comprising eight pages of
"brevier" and some "nonpareil" type
otherwise designated as eight and
six point type) with an edition of two
thousand copies; pages 5hx8h. The
work was not let out on bids, but was
merely sent in to be printed. We
completed and delivered the job. As
there was some agitation as to prices
about this time, we wished to assure
ourselves that we were not overcharg-
ing a good customer, and at the same
time that we were receiving a reason
able compensation. We therefore sub
mitted copy of the circular to the
secretary of the Franklin Club at
Salt Lake City, who practically fig
ures out the schedule of prices that
govern the printing business in this
state, and are accepted as fair be-
tween printer and customer by all
members Of the Franklin Club, which
includes all the foremost job printing
establishments of Salt Lake City, ask
ing him to figure the worth of the
job for us. (Mr. Porte, the secretary,
is also the secretary of the Utah State
Press Association, of which we are a
member.)
There was some delay in answering
our communication, so went ahead and
billed the job in accordance with a
price established with previous issues
of the School Bulletin, charging S21
IOr tne JOD.
In day or two we received COM
munication from Secretary Porte,
Of which the following is an extract:
"Your letter of the Goth received,
and should have been answered long
ago, but have been rushed to death
on several matters and let my CORES
pondence slide
The price on 1000 pamphlets like
you sent in should be $42.50, according
to the price list. 1t comes in under
2-3xS% SPIT type, $4.25 per page,
or $34. Add $3.50 to the price for
eight pages, and you have $3.50 l

OIL DEPOSIT AT EDGEMON

Edgemont, S. D.. June 13.-Drillers
employed by Gov. Peter Norpeck struck
oil about 35 miles west of Edgemont al
a depth of 1,7S0 feet, starting a boon:
that a led to sinking of dozens OF
other wells and the projecting of still
more.
Only the one well 50 far is producing.
but the Flow of oil in that has shown
no diminution since the strike was
made.
Prospectofs representing in some
cases eastern capital several times hav
examined rock formations in this and
other sections of South Dakota, and
have reported the likelihood that oil
was present in quantities.
Wealth for the lucky ones is foreseen
by many as a result OF the strike made
by Governor Norbeck's men. For years
the present governor has been in the
we'll drilling business.

PEARL FISHERS ARE
DRAGGING BIG SIOUX
Button Factory Workmen Said
to Be Destroying Fish
Spawn, Also.

F~1andreau, s.. D, June 11.-Residents
along he Big Sioux river are up in
arms over the clleged wholesale de-
structlon of fish spawn in the river by
expert pearl fishers from Davenport, Ia,
who now are operating along that part
OF the Big Sioux which passes through
Moody county, having worked south
ward from Bookings, every foot of the
river from Brookings to Moody county
having thus far been carefully scraped
by The appliances of the pearl fishers in
their search for CLAIMS and pearls.
The pearl fishers are provided with
several tents, which they pitch ON the
banks of the stream and in which they
! v while securing adjacent sections Of
the river. They nave as equipment a
power launch and several smaller boats.
The launch is rugged with iron pipe, to
winch are attached hoops, which are
dropped into the water and utilized to
pick up the CLANS from h river bed.
Special k are used when the hook
appliances annot be used to good adj
vantage.
The clam shells are shipped to Dav-
export as soon as a sufficient quantity
is gathered, where they are manufact-
ured into buttons and similar products.
Whatever pearls are found constitute
the velvet of the pearl fishers. While
none of the pearl fishers will discuss
this feature of their work. it is be-
lieved that the search for pearls is
proving VERY remunerative.
Residents along the river who have
become excited over the tearing up by
the pearl fishers of the masses of fish
spawn along the FLYER, fearing fishing
will be ruined, ma request the state
fish n game warden to make an in
