The fact that in some sections there

of the United States department OF ag-
irioulture to help in the distribution OF
these surpluses. The committee wish
es. therefore, to locate all available
stocks of good seed of agricultural
crops,%e especially wheat, oats, rye, Grim
son clover Tin the hull or hulled), and
marry vetch. The committee will be
glad if anyone, farmer or dealer, will
send information in regard to the guam

After two attempts on. the part of Capt. Ross and the coast guard crew to place a considerable number of stranded sailors from the Russian gunboat Yakut aboard their vessel yesterday afternoon, both of which failed because of the shallow water over the bar at the mouth of Snake river. the marooned seamen were taken to Fort Davis and cared for by the military officials, who had also extended the men the same courtesy night before last.
 The efforts of Capt. Ross and his crew of lifesavers to get the launch Defiance across the bar were watched with great interest. The high surf l offered no serious obstacle to passage as the stout launch has frequently | braved heavier seas in the regular course of duty. The high sand bar was different matter however and the stout little vessel was stranded on | each of the two occasions on which she attempted to negotiate a passage l to the open waters. After a fine dis
 play of seamanship, Capt. Ross was
 compelled to forego the effort to
 force the launch across the bar.
