In 1875 an old gentleman named Mil
Ter represented Island County in the
Territorial House of Representatives
This gentleman was evidently in the
chicken business, and kept fine quail
ty Of hens, for his pet measure that ses:
sion was to have law passed to regu.
late the sale of eggs by weight" He
introduced the bill early in the session,
and watched it with mother q care all
through its meanderings before the
committee on military affairs, then
Through the committee on education,
and from there through the committee
on agriculture, and finally secured a
report. Out of sympathy for
the good old man the Hou 70 passed the
bill, and with equal care he worked il
the Council, and while it was
one of the first bills introduced in the
House, 1t was among the last to pass the
Council aud become law. The father
Of the measure went home rejoiced, but
his success proved too much for him,
as hc died within few weeks after
old gentleman's mem Dry the bill has re-
dead letter on the statute
books of the Territory until today,
when an act to repeal it, which passed
the Council several days ago, finally
passed the House today, and nov the
signature will knock the
yoik out Of MIR. Miller's egg law, and
leave nothing bot the shell to mark the
great achievement Of the gentleman
from Island County, who both laid, set
On and hatched the chicken that today
was killed by his successors.
