CAPITOL NOTES.
Hon. G. A.. Pollock was a visitor to the
capitol yesterday.
Mrs. Porter goes to Minneapolis today,
where she will spend some weeks.
The testimony in the Kent case was filed
in the Office of the governor yesterday.
The reports of the state officers are now
all in. That of the public examiner was
being delivered yesterday.
Major Edwards was in receipt of many
congratulations yesterday on account of
his bill prohibiting the issue of passes to
state officers. The principle is right.
n. A. Stewart came down from Williston
to help defeat the Stark county bill, but he
came too late. He claims that the settlers
along the Missouri desired to be attached
to Williams county.
There was a great deal of satisfaction
expressed over the result OF the contro-
versy between Butler and Callahan as to
the office of superintendent of schools of
Cass county. Butler wins.
1t was rumored on the streets yesterday
that Treasurer Nichols had succeeded in
negotiating $4,000 of the $50, 900 60-day
warrants, but inquiry at the capitol showed
that the state officers had nc information
on the subject.
There were many present during the de-
bate in the house yesterday on the Stark
county bill. 1t was evident that public
sympathy was against the cattlemen from
the start. and Major Murphy could make
no Roadway against it.
The order of the day slips on the table of
the members of the house yesterday were a
great convenience ii not complete. They
showed the bills which were on the third
reading and those III general orders for the
day. None of the latter were reached, how
ever. The text. book bill aid the valued
insurance policy bill are the most import
ant of these.
Ninety-two bills have been introduced
in the house. Thirteen OF these have
passed the house, but have not been adj
vanced in the senate beyond reference to
the committee and but two have reached
that stage. Eighty-nine lave been intro
duced in the senate. OF these only five
have reached the house and but two have
passed. This record does not include the
ing of the state debts and the extension OF
the capitol warrants. These have been
approved by the governor. The work of
the session is unusually we'll advanced.
Mr.. Simpson claims that if the Stark
22S acres now surveyed to the tax roll
which have not been heretofore taxed, not
10 speak of 20, 1000 900 yet to be surveyed.
At SIPS per acre these lands would in
crease the taxable valuation S1,247,7S5; add
10000 cattle at SO each to this and you
have 81, 0 10000, or a total of nearly IS 5000.
900. which will add $4,000 to the general
revenues of the state. not to speak of the
interest and sinking fund and general
school, tax and local taxes. against only
$l,6i2 turned into the state for taxes dur
ing the past year.
