the matters public in the last issue of
the Gazette. in connection with the
donation OF lands and other valuable
things for the use of the eastern peniten-

the Gazette. it appears that only that
portion of the proposed location owned
by the county. is in shape to be trans
ferred to the state. Another portion
owned by a corporation has yet to be
purchased at a cost Of about 81 600, for
the purpose Of raising which. it is re-
commended by the Billings board OF
Trade, that the city levy a special tax of

to raise this sum by popular subscrip-
ton. In addition to this there is the
cost, which Billings undertook to as

for the short term c~onviets who are to
be sent down to Billings from Deer

This is estimated by the Billings hoard

Several Nice Resolutions Are Sent
to Committee.
Representative Hopkins early offered
a resolution to have the law library kept
open from to 10 o'clock every night
except Saturday, and it provided berth
for somebody as assistant librarian at So

the creation Of soft snap" and the
last section of the resolution was lost.
Mr.. Zelch offered a resolution appoint
ing Thomas Dufresne assistant door
keeper and flag raiser. Jacobson again
objected. and the resolution went to the
committee on Legislative expenses.
The same fate befel resolution by
Mr., Abbott, naming one S. NJ. Badger
as flag raiser at a compensation to be
fixed by the committee on legislative
expenses. The flag goes alott every

requested by members, to subscribe for

Mr.. Underleak sent up resolution,
the purpose Of which was to limit the
session to sixty days. but notice of de-
bate by Comstock, OF Hennepin, sent it
over under the rules. 1t has no show.
n resolution by Mr. Horton, to allow
$3.50 per day for ten days to the boys
who have been serving as pages, but
were not appointed by the speaker, met

Bakers connection with Plerce'S CAM
paign TWO years ago, coupled with the
Dart he took in the election of Senator
Power in Montana, whose bust
ness partner he was then and
still is, has had tendency to
place him in a rather uncomfortable
If not embarrassing position with
the WheelhOrSeS of the Democratic
party in this state. 1t is claimed that
Baker was for Pierce the last time for
business reasons; that he went over
into Montana, played the Democrats
until he got on the inside of the work
Jugs of the party to elect a Democratic
United States senator and then gave
the information thus obtained to the
Republicans to help elect Power. That
he could secure one single farmer vote
