SENATOR ARNOLD'S bill providing
for the redistricting, of county commits
sioner districts redistrcting cannot be
done after three years; may be done when
a majority ask it when the districts are un-
equal in population. The object of the
blli is to secure the redstrcting of coun-

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
Mr.. EDWARDS in the chair.
The house had under consideration the
bill repeating the Grand Forks fair appro-
Mr.. WINEMAN read the preamble to
the law which rectes the fact That the fair
was located at Grand Forks in cOnSidera-
ton OF certain grants by the city. That
the state had accepted deeds to the land
covered by the implied agreement, and was
in honor bound to keep its part of the
agreement. There was a moral obligation
on the board not to use the appropriation
during the next two years in view OF the
concurrent resolution passed last week de-
clarlng that the appropriation should not
be used. and he was confident there would
be no attempt to use it. The sickness pre-
valling two years ago was referred to.
Mr.. RAY insisted that there was wood
chuck in the resolutions; that concurrent
resolution could not suspend law. The
people demand economy, and unless this
law is repealed the money is liable to be
expended.
Mr.. WINEMAN insisted that the people
OF Nelson county do not justify their rep
reSentative in the cause he is taking in this
matter, and called attention to the great
kindness of Grand Forks county toward
Nelson when that county was compelled
to appeal for relief.
Mr.. RAY suggested that the gentleman
from Grand Forks had not always re-
garded himself strongly bound by moral OBJ
legations, especially in the matter of that
election of United States senator.
Mr.. W1NEMAN admitted that as re-
publican he had voted for democrat for
UnlteQ StateS senator, ana no one regret
ted it more than he. Senator Roach had
not turned out to be the man he supposed
him to be. He had known him fourteen
years.
Mr.: EDWARDS, presiding, called the
gentleman to order, AS his remarks were
not in relation to the subject.
The bill was killed and the fair appro-
priatlOn stands.
Mr.. LOGAN'S bill to allow stock to run
at large in winter was killed; also his
bill providing for the registration of voters
by assessors.
Adjourned till 2 p. M.
