The urgent deficiency bill is the only one, the 14 general supply measures I ha! has become a law. The sit nation respecting appropriation bills is as follows: The Indian, legislative, army and District. of Columbia bills have passed both houses and! arc in conference. All of these bills contain: items of dispute which present difficulties. The pensions, postoffice, agriculture, naval, military academy, fort ifica.t ions, diplomatic and con snl a and sundry civil bills, have passed the TTouse but not the Senate.

It is intended to have the saloon open to inspection from the street so that a man's wife pas-sing the slreel can see him and see what ho is doing.

Geological Survey. In a brief sketch published in the Biennial report, the Department 'has indicated that workable scams underlie hundreds of miles of the northern, and western portions of the state and that with proper conservation Missouri will have available coal for many years to come- As shown by this work, the coal measures underlie approximately 25,000 square miles, in dud ing wholly or in large part 45 counties. The investigation which is still under way has been restricted during the past year to the area north of the Missouri river inclnd ing detailed studies of the Bevier Lexington, Noviuger, Mendota, Vandalia and Gainesville fields. All coal found in north Missouri forms a part of the Pennsylvania series of the carboniferous. On economic grounds, the Penn- sylvania.n, which has a maximum thickness of 2000 feet, may be sa.id to consist of an upper group the Missouri and a lower group known as the Des Moines.

The Missouri group is distinguished by an abundance of limestone and contains very little coal of ira portance. The Des Moiiies group having a thickness of about SOO feet, has been separated into 3 divisions which in descending order are: The Pleasanton shales; the Henrietta limestone; and the Cherokee shales. The Pleasanton contains very little coal, audi consists largely of a succesion of sandstones shales aggregating a to tal thickness of from ibo to 1.50 feet. The Henrietta which is from 50 to 90 feet in thickness is more or less distinguished from the Pleasanton and Cherokee because of the greater amount of limestone it contains. The Department will continue this investigation during the coming year special, attention -being drecfed a study of the area south of the Missouri river.

"And this will be done economically compared with the cost of coal, as this accumulated! electricity will be stored at low cost be on tap for use when needed.
