Mr.. Blydcnburgh, Carbon county, gave
notice Of the carly Introduction of a bill
for an act to amend that section Of the
statutes defining and enumcrating the du-
tics and powers of county supcrintcnd-
cnts of schools. The gentleman has held
the office himself and the proposed altera-
tons are doubtless wise and desirable
changes.
IMPERATIVE ANYWAY.
Mr.. Summers, Uinta county, desires
the repeal Of the law providing for the
erection of a hospital at Evanston for the
use of the sisters of charity. The law has
never been complied with and there will
probably be no opposition to its repeal.
RYPORTS.
The enrolment. cngrossmcnt and
printing committees submitted reports
which were approved 10y the house.
FAVORABLE.
Committee No. 3 reported back to the
house Mr.. Suthcrland's bill providing
for the recognition Of all degrees of
Odd Fellows lodres-as corporations,
with the recommendation tina: it be en-
acted.
RAILWAY FARE.
The report OF the committee to which
had been referred Mr.. Lafrent'z bill fix
ing the maximum rate of railway fare to
be charged in the territory at three cents
per mile was somewhat of a surprise, al,
though not entirely unanticipated. The
objection that legality was doubtful was
not advanced. In recommending the
defeat of the bill the corporation com
mittcc set forth. First-We believe that
the proper spirit to be manifested by leg
~islation at this time should be that which

The latest thing in county division
matters is the charge made by the Doug
las Budget that a numerously signed petit
ton at Fettcrman was boldly stolen by a
Luskite. 1t would be a queer go if the
thief should paste all the signatures on a
petition to the legislature asking that a
county be formed such ns the people of
Lusk desire. Keep your good eye on

REGULATING INTEREST.
After due consideration of Mr.. Grants
bill regulating interest the committee to
which it had been referred submitted to
the house a substitute with the recon-
mendatIon hat the same become a law.
The act fixes the maximum rate of inter
est to be charged in the territory, at eight
per cent.
WOO GROWERS.
Mr.. Murray, Sweetwater county, is one
OF the two sheep growers In the house.
He is opposed to the operative statute
regulating the industry and more particu-
larry the provision creating the office of
sheep inspector. He will soon introduce
a bill repeating the chapter defining the
duties and powers OF this individual.
A COUNTY BILL.
Mr.. Murray's county bill was intro
duced and read a first time. 1t is scarce
ly more than an enabling act, providing
the manner of conducting elections for a
change of county seat and empowering
the majority to rule in a contest of this
character.
ADVERSELY.
Mr.. Hooper's bill providing n fee for
probate Judges for the recording of mar
riagc certificates, was defeated in commit
tee of the whole after a brief discussion.
Mr.. Grant vcntured the opinion that
this officer already received a much great
or salary than he should and that his
emolument should not be increased. Mr..
Hooper conceded that perhaps his salary
was sufficient, but that the idea of com.
polling any officer to perform labor with
out reimbursement was preposterous. On
a vote the bill was defeated. 1t is proba-
bic that this matter will be heard Of again.
GAME DETECTIVES.
If the house accepts the suggestion of
the. committee of the whole Mr.. Adams
bill declaring hat stock detectives shall
no longer act as game detectives will be-
come n law.
DEFEATED.
Mr.. Van Devanter's bill a%mendatory to
the law in relation to the ap~portionment
of county Indebtedness was voted down
when placed upon its final passage. The
introducer gave notice that he would to-
day move for its reconsideration.

The BLADE will be found where II has ever

against the conspiracy OF the free trade the

side of the American farmer, whose property
depends far more on home market than for

perity for the merchant importers of New York
