MANY RELICS
Besides Fabulous Priced
Statesman Records There
Are Numerous Other Spe-
cies of Extravaganza.
Desk Found to Hold Long
Films Taken at State Elk
pense, but Never Used
Files and Desks and Even
Stuffed Pheasant.

The investigation into the old vault
at the statchouse annex in progress
Saturday by two employees OF the state
land department. to whom il has been
turned over. disclosed the fact that
there are numerous other unused re
rords than the somewhat fabulous
priced ones for which the Statesman
Printing company received some $500,
Whether they were furnished by the
same concern has not as yet been de-
finitely ascertajned. The records OF
lhe state auditors department will dis
close this fact as soon as they can be
Investigated.
MANY ARE MoULDY.
That the records were purchased
five and 10 years ago and then placed
In the vault is apparent. The records
found speak for themselves. Some of
their covers are ruined by the damp
air of the vault and if ever used the
covers will have to be replaced. They
are mouldy. Other records in per-
fectly good condition are also being
rounded up The two land department
employees were carefully checking them
over and listing all books. They are
catalogued as used. partly used or
without trace of a record.
In one of the desk drawers in the
vault was discovered several hundred
feet of valuable films that we're taken
at the expense of the state and ii is
said never used. There is said to have
been something like $4,000 worth of
motion picture films and outfits pur-
chased but they were not put into
commission.
STUFFED PHEASANT CAPTURED.
Even a stuffed pheasant was perched
on one of the high file cases looking
the worse FOR wear. Uncle John HALEY,
the state historian, took possession OF
it and has it safely put away among
the states historical relics. 1t was
about the only relic among all of the
big collection that seemed to be able
to stand close inspection.
In order to run down the Various
items Of cost for the books it is prob
able that q careful check of the aud
itor's records will be made in the very
near future. 1t will go back some
years.
