The fight over the state institutions will
begin in tho house during the coming week,
1t 10 likely to be much more prolonged and
bitter than was the fight IN the senate, The
house has some verv good takers when thew
get ready to tn n themselves loose. and this
will 10 an occasion when they will doubt
less get good II ready. The committee
on state Institutions promises to report on
Monday on the bills sent from tho senate
for the state unive sisy at Missoula, the
school Of mines at Butte and the spricultu.
raj college at Bozeman. Since the different
Institutions are to be scattered it is not
known that any place desires to take the
school of mines away from Butte. mol the
university from Missoula. but the agrioult-
ural college will be asked for by another
place exoeps Bozeman. Miles City, whore

wants that agricultural college bad. Miles
City has two Representatives on the floor of
the house, n of whom, l.. A. Huffman,
has shown himself a verv good debate.
Representatives Arthur Truman and j. L.
Martin will look after the interests of GAL
latin county in general, and Bozeman in
particular. Neither have yet been called
on to show what they can do in the way of
debats. The bills, IT reported Monday,
will probably be deferred until Wednesday
for confederation in COMMITTEES of the
whole.
There have been two rulings in the house
during the past week to which some OF the
members object. though no appeal Was
taken from tho decision Of the chair.
Speaker Matthews ruled carly in the week
that no amendment could be made to a bill
on its third reading. but that il it was do
sired to change it. the matter must DO re-
fsrred back to committee. 1t was on the
third reading of the Bitter Root county
bill. and Judge Fitzgerald desired to change
the namo to Ravalli. Tue change was sub.
sequently made by unanimous consent, the
speaker changing his 'ulinR. Speaker Mat
thews was away yesterday and speaker Pro-
tenn Bray was in tire chair. The bounty bill
up on It's thi d rsading and for final
Representative Goodsll, the au-
thor of tho bill. wanted to make a slight
amendment to make Que part of the
measure agree with another that had been
previously changed. The speaker pro tenn
held that the bill could not be amended on
its third reading, and said 1t must be re-
ferrsd back to the committee. 1t was re-
ferrsd back. House rule humble eighty
two covers the matter. Its caption, mo
on third reading" 10 somewhat
but the body of the rule in very
plain. II says: "On the third reading Of
the bill or resolution no amendment, except
to all blanks. shall DO rec lived, except by
tho unanimous consent Of the members
present."
