LONDON, August 1.-THE course
Of security prices in the past week ha.
disappointed those who, week ago
forecast period of activity. The un-
dertone IN most sections remained
firm, but, while dealers reported a
growing volume of inquiries from in
vestors. supporting orders were not
forthcoming in SUFFICIENT volume to
produce marked effect on prices.
Hence. the daily course of the mar
kets was uninteresting, with no out
standing features even in the mining
markets, which opened the week well,
but failed to fulfill early promise.
Nevertheless, thanks to a clearer
European political horizon and ample
indications of improving trade. grad
ual improvement is anticipated when
the holiday atmosphere becomes less
prevalent.
The principal topic Of interest in the
securities market was the publication
OF the Board of Trade committees
report on share pushing" Findings
OF the committee reveal the difficulty
of checking predatory activity by un-
scrupulous share-dealing agencies. The
principal Recommendation, which pre-
sumably will be embodied in early
legislation, requires all dealers in bond
and stock shares, except members OF
the five existing exchanges, to be reg
istered at the Board of Trade

The assessment of personal pro-
perty was closed in Redwood
Falls Wednesday, according to j.
Albert Johnson, city assessor.
Approximately 900 personal
property blanks have been sign
ed and returned, about 100 more
than last year.
Redwood Falls is richer city
this year. Mr.. Johnson says, in
that valuation of money and
credits will be considerably high
er than in 1886.
"This is the first afternoon I
have 1oafed since May L." Johnson
said after his book were closed
Assessing is no easy job, al
though most people are pretty
nice about it." Sometimes it is
necessary for the assessor to make
eight or 10 calls before he re-
ceives the information he wants.
Mr. johnson prefers working in
the business section, because
housewives are apt to be out
gadding when he calls.
Taxpayers don't seem to know
that the assessor has considerable
authority should he care to use it.
If taxpayer does not give the
information when an assessor
asks for it he has the power to
put In valuations as he thinks
they should be, but MIR. johnson

L. P. Winter was appointed

and will begin his new work
Monday. He replaces G. R. Pryor
who served farmers on the route
for over % years and whose son,
R. w. Pryor, has acted as sub.

Oscar Galstad, former city
carrier will replace Winter as
clerk, position which he has
held since 1923.
Hugh Dunlevy, sub-clerk and
carrier has been promoted to
Galstad's place and Ferris Jeppe-

Mr.. Pryor's route was only %
miles long, but a six or seven
hour trip with a horse in good
weather when he took over the
position in 1914.
In those days, muddy roads or

it necessary for Mr.. Pryor to

TobeAvoided
AUNE SEAT VACANT FOR
REMAINDER OF EXTRA
SESSION

Unless unforeseen circumstan-
ces result in the calling of an
other extra session of the legisla-
ture this fall or winter, no special
election will be held to fill the
position left vacant by the sudden
death of Representative H. M.
Aune.
At best new man could not
be elected and qualified before
July and the filing of several
candidates, if an election were
called, might necessitate the hold
ing of a special primary as well
as a special election, it was point
ed out.
The office of Governor Benson,
whose place it would be to call a
special election, was in commun-
ication with Ira R. Rogers, county
auditor, concerning the matter
Wednesday.
Since it is highly probable that
the special session now nearly
three weeks old will end before
a new man could be elected, and
since a general election will be
held before the next regular
session, Mr.. Rogers informed the
governors office that he was
certain the county commissioners
would not be in favor of going to
the expense of a special election
at this time.
Holding special election
would require the publication of
notices well in advance of the
date chosen, printing of ballots
and hiring of election officials and
polling places besides incidental
costs. Should three or more
candidates file necessitating a
primary the cost would be doub-
led besides delaying the matter.
John Zwach is representative at
large from Brown and Redwood
counties in the lower house while
Frank Romberg is senator from
the district.
