THE HOUSE.

The house was slow in getting quorum
yesterday, it being 9:15 before a
quorum was secured, and when it
did get down to business there was gen.
eral lack of interest shown, members as a
rule seeming to be more interested in fol-
lowing up and looking after matters in
which they were personally interested,
than in expediting the general business.
So marked was this lack of attention
during the call of the roll upon
the passage of bills, that absen-
tees had frequently to be called
to save bill, and finally on two occasions
calls of the house had to be resorted to to
get sufficient number of members in
their seats to do business.
Upon resolution Mrs. IL. 4. Hamilton
was appointed assistant to the enrolling
clerk for the balance of the session, at SIS
per day.
The house waived its prohibition against
the Introduction of new bills to allow them
to come in. Among them was one by Mr..
Hartley changing the boundary lines o4
the counties of Crow Wing, Morrison and
Cass counties. The bill provides for trans
ferring from Crow Wing 4 strip some two
miles IN depth on the south, to Morrison
county, and the northwest S1rner of Nor
rison county of about equal territory to
Crow Wing, and of something over seven
sections of the southwest corner of Cass
county to Crow Wing. These proposed
changes together with those already pro,
posed in reference to the boundaries OF
Wadens, and that setting aside sixteen
sections of Cass county north of Wadena
for the new county of Hubbard, operates
to straighten out the boundary lines and
more nearly equalize the territory of the
several counties, and also, it is understood,
better accommodate the people residing
in the territory affected.
When the bill providing for a Uniform
system of indexing county records Intro

the provisions of the bill, stating as 3 rea-

Intention of embarking in the lumber bus

the most liberal offers of those associated
in the prison contract, he was induced to
become associated in it. There were
then some forty occupants in the prison
Under the contract the state promised to
furnish buildings and facilities for employ
ing the convict labor, which it did not do
In the meantime the prison was rapidly
filling up and temporary structures had to
be supplied by the contractors. Then
came the hard times and the products of
the prison labor could find no market
At the same time Mr.. Donnelly,
who was in the legislature, raised the cry
which has since been a sort of night
mare with many honest and well-meaning
people-of a state prison ring, and this,
too, at time when, if their contract had
not been in force, the state could not have
let tho labor at five cents day. With the
state refusing to fulfill its
part of tbs agreement, and the
manufactured stock under the contract
accommodating in their hands, demand of
release was made upon the inspectors
which was refused. The contractors then
refused to pay the state under the contract,
and the inspectors commenced suit against
the bondsmen. The lower court decided
against them and an appeal was taken to
the supreme court, which decided that the
contract, not having been lived up to by
the state, was not binding upon the con-
tractors. In the meantime arbitration
had been proposed and authorized by the
legislature, by which commission was
authorized, Gen. Sibley being chosen to
represent the state. The contractors chose

The Growth of the Farthest Northwest.

Oregon newspapers reviewing the
events of the past year, show the exist
ence of remarkable degree of prosper
itv in that State. Ten years ago the
population of Portland was less than
$4,000. To-day it is nearly three times
that number, and is continually in
creasing During 1882 SO, 900, 900 was
spent upon new buildings in that city,
and $500, 600 ON its streets. The whole
sale trade for the year amounted TO
$40, 900, 900, and the exports to 1923, 49,
9Sl.
Equally favorable reports come from
Washington Territory, whose vast for
ests of valuable timber furnish an arti-
Gle of export that is wanted in all parts
of the world. Thirty years ago Puget
Sounds first saw-ni1 was built. To
day there are numerous towns in which
understanding is the main industry. In
1881 175, 100000 cubic feet of lumber
was exported. The amount sawed in
1882 is estimated at over 800 600, 900
feet The mills are nearly all lighted
by electricity, and are the scene of
ceaseless labor. Various kindred forms
of industry have arisen out of the
abundance of timber, including cooper
age and, ship-building.
Among recent settlers in this favored
region are some of the Russian-Jewish
immigrants, and reports received from
their settlements give good ground for
believing in successful issue to their
agricultural experiments. Altogether,
both Oregon and Washington Terri
tories seem to be thriving to a much
greater degree than California, thei1
southern neighbor, and are attracting
comparatively larger share OF irnmi-
grafton.

night, that a democratic victory lis in

will vote for the democratic candidate.

THIEVES ON RAILWAY TRAINS.
From fha Alhanx Eyapiuo Journal

One day this week commercial trav-
eler visiting Albany in The interest of one
of the large jewelry jobbing houses of
New York detected thief in act of chan
ging the check attached to his trunk near
the baggage room of the Union depot.
He took to his heels before he could be
captured. The officials having charge of
the checking are constantly on the alert
for escapades of this kind. The depots,
they say. are haunted by these vultures.
The plan is to spot trunk the contents
| of which are known to be of value. and
following the owner from place to place,
wait for the opportunity for substituting
for the check attached another to "a diff
erent destination. II is reported that
several valuable pieces of baggage have
been stolen in this way. The traveller,
whose experience in the depot in this
city nearly cost him the loss of "a trunk
worth $50 900, had been pursued for the
preceding two months by the thief, whose
| cleverness was only by chance discover
ed. The latter was a member of the no
torious Houston street gang. which has
graduated some of the boldest robbers
and desperadoes in the country. He was
fellow of the most genteel address and
pleasant manner On previous trip
| west of Albany the stranger scraped an
acquaintance with the traveller for the
New York house. claiming to represent II
firm in Boston whose name was perfectly
well known. Suspicious of all strangers
no matter what their external display
might be, the jeweiry agent was happily
chary of his confidence. He, however,
accepted an invitation to smoke in the
! car provided for that purpose several cars
ahead. Having chattcd quietly for some
time. the stranger stood up. and crossing
the isle endeavored to turn over or double
one of the seats, in order to provide a
place on which to strcch out his legs.
The usual difficulty with the lock prevail
ed. After feignlng to be quite put out
about it. he casually asked the jewelry
agent if he would not loan him his check
moment. He wanted to slip it down
upon the catch in or0er to throw it out
of place. He had seen the seats unlocked
in that way. The agent declined TO al
low his chech to go out of his possession,
a refusal which angered the stranger.
The agent, getting up said: You have
got the wrong pig by the ear 1t will be
a cold day when you get my check
He then quit the car. The thief would
have exchanged checks under the pre-
tense of using it to unlock the seat.
This ruse is clever one. 1t has been
operated successfully in several cases in
the West. Not person in a hundred
ever notices the number of his check.

openly and without disguise break the
laws of the land, but, instead, the class
next below them, who nonfinally re-
spect the civil law, but break any

had dropped enough to meet his then

not to be considered. Their business is
