bills. The first of these was Hoffman's
bill No. 10, establishing a standard for the
measurement of water and defining the
equivalent of a miners inch.
Next came the American flag bill and
neither one of them excited much discus
sion, being voted through unanimously.
This latter is not Knippenberg's justly
celebrated boycott on foreign bunting, but
senate bill No. "a, introduced by Chandler,
providing for an act to require school
trustees to procure the American flags
and cause the same to be displayed over
the schools. The presumption is that the
United States flag, otherwise known as
the stars and stripes, or old glory, Is the
one in which the trustees are to invest tho
school funds, though there is nothing in
| the act to indicate 1t.
Senate bill No. %. introduced by Flow
erree, to provide for the selection and pur-
| chase of a site for a state capitol build
| ing was also passed, Senator Eggleston of
Deer Lodge voting in the negative.
| A number of bills amending various Sec
tions of the codes were introduced.
Chandler introduced a bill providing for
| the better protection of fish and game and
| creating a state board of fish commits
| sioners. The DILL carries an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the payment of the ex-
penses of this board and the employment
| a game warden.
| A resolution of the Frank Blair G. A. r.
post at Virginia City was read at request
of Metzel. 1t calls the attention of the
assembly to the fact lhat the law passed
by the last legislative assembly provides
for the construction of a soldiers home;
that there is great need of such a home at
the present time, owing to the fact that
there are many old soldiers in the state
who are in an infirm and destitute condi-
ton, if not public charges, Thereto ore 1t
is asked that a commission of seven MEM
bers of the G.. a. r., no more than two
from the same post, be appointed to
choose a site for the home. The resolu-
ton was referred to the committee on
| public buildings.
The senate then went into committee
of the whole, Cullen in the chair, and con-
sidered senate bill No. 20, introduced by
Sigh, known as the medical practice act.
This bill had been referred to a special
committee, consisting of Sligh Steele and
Greene, who reported in favor of its adop-
: ton. On discussion, however, the opin-
ion prevailed that the bill was not in
proper form to go through as an amend
ment to the code and it was referred back
to the committee.
Flowerree gave notice of a bill to provide
for the erection of state capitol building
and the senate then adjourned until Mon
day at 3 o'clock p. m.
There are 3S clerks at work enrolling the
codes, which consist of nearly 100000
words. The force consists of Clerk Baggs,

Judging by the progress at the presen
