House Notes.

The unexpected will happen.
Yesterday began the second half of
the session.
Powers appeared on the scene just
in time to vote.
The committee on public health is
being swamped with petitions.
Four Republicans and seven Demo-
Gratis voted against the mortgage tax
bill
The members of the House have been
furnished already with $SS worth OF
stamps.
Nebeker wants to know if DougaHs
bill is for the encouragement of infant
industries.
Varian has placed himself on record
as against the giving of a bonus to a
private institution.
Business Manager England of the
Logan Journel sat beside Monson dur
ing the discussion.
Johnson says that when his bill
comes up today it will go through
without any trouble
After McBride's coming out in OPP
position to the measure it looks queer
to see him vote for it.
81 congratulate my party that his
(Varlan's) speech was not made during
the campaign. SEARS.
The longest petition yet presented is
the one from the citizens of Utah
county asking for the prohibition of
seining the Utah lake
Within ten minutes before he arose
to speak for Variants bill, Johnson ex-
pressed himself as not being ready to
favor it. Wonderful transformation
Variants talk ON the chamber of
commerce resolutions is not calculated
to inspire a warm love for him in the
hearts of some of his fellow citizens.
Varian did not seemed to be pleased
when Sears said that if he had made
his mortgage speech in the campaign
his majority would have been reduced.
Mrs. Sears, the Misses Sears, Mrs.
HoWat and the Misses Hcwat were
among the visitors of the fair sex who
honored the House with a visit during
the mortgage debate.
Allen has put himself on record as
believing that the tariff legislation of
the Democrats is not responsible for
this depression. Why didn't he say so
during the last campaign.
Nebeker, usually sound on rules,
evidently forgot himself yesterday and,
thinking he was in a political conven-
ton, moved that the eight hour bill
be passed by reclamation.
All who heard Varian's speech yes
terday including those who took issue
with him ON the mortgage bill, admitted
that it was a most powerful and able
presentation of the matter, from his
standpoint.
The landlords lien bill will make
a good showing as amended by the
committee. The provisions are very
strict. Varian says it is a great in
novation and he wants to test the AS
sembly on it.
One member remarked yesterday,
IF Sears had pressed the bill to a vote
a week ago he would have won with a
handsome majority. Since that time
Varian and Allen have whipped Wines,
Dougall, Mcbride and Mckay into line.
When the party lash will work such
wonders in the House that members
feel that it may do anything in the
Council and that the present majority
Of eight against the bill may melt
away like winter SHOWS before the
breath of the baImy chinook
Nebeker told Sears that if he spoke
over half an hour he need not expect
that the gentleman from Rich would
vote for him. Just before that time
had elapsed he received a note with a
very savage looking skull and cross
bones and the word Beware"
The janitor is to get 81 a day, which
places him on a level with the mem
bers, the enrolling, doclleting and
minute clerks, the chaplain, the SER
geant-at-arnlS and the Waterman.
There is little doubt that he is the
hardest worked of any of them.
The little furry over the Speakers
bouquet was amusing. Varian said
that if the flowers were presented as
a compliment to the Speaker they
should not be paid for. The Speaker
said he would pay for the bouquet as
he is accustomed to pay for all his
compliments.
