L LONG FORGOTTEN STATUTE HA'S BEEN REDISCOVERTD. GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL Items of Interest Gathered from Re liable Sources and Presented In Condensed Form to Our Readers. Fifteen thousand dollars Is tho prize offered by tho Btate of Ne braska to the first person who shall succeed In locating a steady flow ol oil within the state yielding fifty barrels per day for sixty consecutive days. The exlstenco of this forgotten statute, passed by the legislature of 1903, was rediscovered In State Treasurer George's office following the receipt of a letter from New York asking whether Nebraska has such a law. The letter was sent from the Now York oflice of a London corpor ation knbwn as the Anglo-Mexican Petroleum Products Company. A short time previously Treasurer George received another query from the same source, but did not answer It. Tho persistence of the company In seeking to find out about the state reward Is taken to mean that It has some kind or a "tip" as to where oil may bo found in paying quantities In this state. If so, it has been able to keep tho information secret, as no facts have been made public relating to any such discovery. A few test borings are known to havo been made In different localities, but these, so far as is known iu Lincoln, have all been abandoned. Linseed Oil. As a result of a complaint filed by Stato Food Commissioner Harman with tho postofllco department linseed oil companies doing business in Ne braska have agreed to stop advertis ing their products as raw linseed oil and boiled linseed oil and will here after label It as boiled linseed com pound and raw linseed compound, and that advertising matter will contain tho statement that it is composed of linseed oil, mineral oil and dryer suit ably compounded or blended. The company has not agreed to brand their goods with the percentage of such ingredients. Eight different companies have signed a stipulation of this nature and presented it to the postmaster general. The companies were alleged to bo selling linseed oil which contained from 20 to 50 per cent of petroleum, and that many people bought It for pure linseed oil. Must Not Misrepresent. Hereafter oysters must bo sold In this state ln either net bulkr quan tity lots no advertising or pricing ln pints and Uien sales by the pound. Such Is tho substance of a manifesto which has gone out from tho state food commission, following and in vestigation that opened the oyes of the Inspectors as to methods of dis posing of the seafood. Much of the battle will fall on tho federal depart ment, however, as greater law viola tions have been found to oxist be tween canneries and wholesalers and retailers, than between the retailers and tho consumers. The latter situ atlon is the ono which will be jit tacked by the state department. Less Bonds Registered than Year Ago. Bonds to the amount of $1,781,470 have been registered with the state during the past year, according to a report made by Bond Clerk Law rence.
