Ancient Printing Press.

The oldest printing firm in the
world is undoubtedly the House of
Guasp, at Palma, on the Island of Ma
iorca, off the coast of Spain. which has
been presided over by 10 generations
of the Guasp family. 1t was establish
ed in 1879, at time when Spain DOM
mated the world. and prior to that time
Gabriel Guasp had been a bookseller.
but he decided to branch out into the
printing business, and the old press
which he started with is still standing
and In daily use. 1t is built Of solid
timbers, of rather cumbersome appear
ance and slow operation. As a matter
of fact, the act of making the impress
sion depends largely upon the strength
of the pressman. After linking the form
he braces himself against stand on
the floor and. pulling over a heavy lever,
brings heavy block down to cover the
type.

full study and consideration to this

The second amendment proposed
is TO Section 45 of Article 5 which

the Governor usually issues a call
for such an election the Board of

gard TO il. This frequently
that a county is not fully represent
ed at a session of the Legislature.
After the 1881 general election and
before the legislature met the SEN
ator from Fergus county died and
as the Board of County Commission
ers of that county wished to avoid
the expense Of holding a special e.
ectaon To fill the vacancy, mo election
was held, the result being that Fer
gus county had no senator during
the Last session, although the senat-
or gave the Hon. Tom Stout Of that
county the right to take part In
senate proceedings, but without the
right to vote. The same situation
onose in Custer County = member
dying after the general election and
before the legislature met No spe-
cial election was held because of the
cost and that county was not fully
represented at the 1881 session The
proposed amendment merely inserts
a provision that when a vacancy

WHEAT PRICES HAVE
IMPRESSIVE BOOSTS
IN LATEST DEALINGS
Crop Damage Reports More
Than Offset Sympathy
Shown With Stocks

Chicago, April 4.-(R-Wheat adj
vanced impressively In late dealings
Monday after undergoing a sharp
setback in sympathy with the stock
market.
Crop damage reports came thick
and fast from Texas, Kansas, Ne
braska and Colorado, and spectators
readily absorbed offerings. Lateness
Of spring wheat seeding both south
and north of the Canadian boundary
was an additional bullish factor,
with 5,736,o0o bushels decrease Of the
United States visible supply.
Wheat closed nervous, M-1s above
Saturday, finish, May 57h-A, July
old 59A-A; corn unchanged to II
higher, May 36M-A, July 3oas IL: oats
h-7s up. and provisions unchanged
to S cents off.
Aggressive buying that lifted wheat
values was largely due to statements
from q leading authority that ad-
verse weather southwest had been
setting the wheat crop back daily.
Other advices asserted there was no
longer any doubt that q wide area
west and southwest had become
desperately in need of moisture.
Special notice was taken of reports
of bad condition of the wheat crop
In the Texas panhandle, especially
late sown fields comprising three
fourths Of the acreage. Stock market
weakness, however, led to increased
selling of wheat, and at times caused
reactions to below Saturdays finish.
Corn and oats followed wheat.
Provisions were steady, influenced
by hog values.

State Tax on Bank
Shares Is Attacked

Washington, April 4.-(P)-An as
sertion that state taxes on bank
'chares have constituted great con-
tributing factor in the large number
Of bank failures in this country was
made before a senate committee
Monday by A. M. G. Washburn, vice
president and general counsel of the
First National bank of Minneapolis
Explaining his statement, Wash
burn said the tax is the same even
when a banks revenues fall off con-
siderably.
! He said states in which share tax
has played part in bank failures are
Minnesota, Missouri, North and
South Dakota.
AS representative of the Mime
sofa Bankers association, Washburn
opposed bill by Chairman Norbeck
(R., s. d. to permit states to tax
national banks on the same basis as
state banks. He told the banking
committee it could not provide "ade-
quate protection"
1T would leave banks at very
marked disadvantage by comparison
with other financial institutions not
classified as state banks" he said.
! He referred to such organizations
as building and loan associations and
mortgage companies.
