BISMARCK, Jan. 12.-Special-Juds
LaMoure startled the senators this after
4uesting the auditor tn furnish an item
lied account of the cost of maintaining
the capital on the hill near Bismarck.
This amount is over $4,000. Senator
hcCorn ack amended the resolution by
asking for an itemized statement of the
$1,000 "miscellaneous" warrants noted in
the report as having been issued. Mr..
LaMoure said, in regard to the capital
expense account, that he wanted to know
the difference in the cost of maintaining
seat Of government in an Indian
country, distant from the settlement, to
what it would be in civilized part of the
state. The honorable senator's remarks
we're taken as joke by the MIS-
sour slope members. Senator Little of
Bismarck was glad to have the matter
looked into, provided the expenses of the
ether institutions we're investigated also
None but the capital, however, we're in
sluded in the resolution. LaMoure
says by the enabling act the capital CAP
be removed without putting it to vote
Of the people, and if the Grand Forks
folks could not get it, they would vote
for Jamestown.
