Mr.. Branch thought an extra session would MT
amount to anything. A war has been waged be-
tween parties in this Legislature and in the con-
tingency Of an extra session, it would be only
squandering about $40, 900 out of the Terrific
rial treasury.
Mr.. Murray opposed the amendment, on the
ground of the appropriation being entirely ex-
hofbitant- as $4,000 or IS 900 would be ample
for the purpose.
Mr.. Gere advocated the amendment, saying
that because the actual settlers of the coming
spring could 60 and settle on lands along theiine
of these r. Rps, and thus more rapidly populate
our Territory with sturdy ysomanry, therefore
he supported an extra session. He did not be-
lieve that another Legislature elected as it would
be under the foreign influence that would be
brought to ear,would come here any LESS biased,
or any better qualified to act upon this matter
than is the present one.
