The tract is state school land, and a such has been leased by Hol land since 19:, about which time the State department began to look after the state lnnds west of the river, no one paying any attention to leases In that section of the state until about that time, lloll ind alleges that he settled upon the tract ocfore the urvey of that part of the stale, locating In 1SS9, while the survey wis not npprsved until 1891. lie claims to have $3,000 of im provements on the tract.

Big Pool Among British Makers of Iron and Steel Agent Makes Exhaustive Report on Combination by Which Rail and Plate Makers Fix Prices. WASHINGTON. May 8. Pools among bar makers, rail pools and other combinations. a third of a century's steadiness In the quantity of native Iron ore mined, and the variation in values of such products are among the matters threshed out in a report on the conditions of the British Iron and steel industry, submitted by Charles M. PeVper, speolal agent of the bureau of manufacturers. The valuoa of the ore are on a gradually lowering scale. The report quotes figures of the coat of production of pig Iron in the leading manufacturing dis tricts, ranging from $9.92 on the east coast to $13.(6 per ton for tha Bessemer or Pematlte of the west coast. The ultimate cost per ton of British steel In Bessemer works having auxiliary blast furnaces, lie states, to be $23.36 for atel ingots and $18.49 for steel rails. Mr. Pepper places the cost of the pig Iron In this manufacture at $1150. Wages are given as follows: Per ton of pig iron, $l.vt; per ton of Ingots, 69 cents: jier ton of raila. $1.86. The report shows a Rrltlsh rail pool, which not only fixes the price, but names the companies by which deliveries shall be made to the railways. This Is affiliated with the International Rail syndicate, of which the British mills are members. There are price conventions or trust agree ments in the galvanised sheet industry and among the marked bar makers. One of the moat effective combinations is that among the makers of ship plates and angles. When the home demand is dull and foreign busi ness Is wanted badly a difference of $6 per ton Is about the average between home and foreign prices In favor of the foreign buyer, but some times It Is greater. The formation of these trade combinations both a to home and foreign sales Is said by Mr. Pepper to be growing among the British manufacturers.

This whs the expression used h iinn. ernor lladley In a special message to the jtiiHsuuri legislature Friday in an effort to obtain the enactment of a law requir ing a state license for the sale of intoxi cants In social clubs throughout the state. The executive asserted that opposition to the measure from reputable social clubs had caused its defeat In the senate and had thus aided the organization In the larger cities of clubs which existed primarily for the purpose of breaking the Sunday clos ing law. The governor declared that the absence of a license law left the police without adequate resources against the disreputable clubs and added that the onus of this con dition must rest upon the general assembly until regulating statutes asked are pro vided.
