/ the meat of pregnant cows made so to
! make them weigh, and as cheaply as
possible. The law was Inadequate and
should be made as stringent as possible
Mr.. Thorn thought that if the cities
/ had steer meat before the 1894 law, and
/ now had impure COW meat, he thought II
a good plan TO repeal the law. Continu-
/ ing, he said he had understood the law OF
! 1894 had been rushed through in the last
moments of the session in the interest OF
a few people controlling the slaughterlng
1 business.
I Mr.. Nebeker. of Rich as a member OF
the legislature which had passed the law,
refuted the statement that the bill had
been railroaded through or that it was
in the interest OF any set of individuals.
! The law had Favored the packing houses
which had been established since its en-
actment and it had been great benefit
/ to the state. That it had been violated
was no fault OF the law. Such law was
needed by cities and he would favor see
ing it made more stringent. The motion
lost on division.

mlttee of the whole with Mr.. Harris again
IN the chair
Mr. Cushing offered an amendment
which was adopted, providing that cedar,
quaKIngasp, pinlon pine and other timber
not valuable for numbering purposes, may
be removed from state lands.
Mr.. Towards suggestion was adopted
that dead timber be included.

amendment:
'All deeds and all certificates of sale
snail reserve to the state all minerals of
every kind, coal and any hydrocarbons
that may be underneath the surface of the
land. And the board may thereafter mn-
der proper provisions for the protection
OF the rights of the owner of the surface
ana reparauOn for any damage that may
enSue thereform), grant the right to pros
pect and mine the minerals coal and
hydrocarbons upon such lands, under
such terms and conditions as may be pro-
Ylded Tor in leasing mineral lands
Considerable debate followed, the sense
OF which appeared to be that the amend
ment should be Incorporated in Mr.
Critchlow's bill covering mineral lands
Which is to be introduced. The motion to
adopt was then lost.
Mr.. Gushing moved 10 amend by reduc-
ing the time for which grazing land
shall be leased. from ten years as re-
ported by the committee, TO five years
Mr.. Nebeker of Rich, didn't like the
idea of the chairman of the land commit
tee moving such a radical departure
from the committee bill, for two reasons.
first, he had against his own inclination
in many instances, stayed by the com
mittee bill as they had all agreed to,
and second, the very subject now pro-
posed had been considered at great
length. Mr.. Nebeker was very much sur
prised at Mr. Gushing, and said so rather
feelingly, Whereupon Mr.. Cushing with
drew his motion.
Mr.. Towards motion prevailed, which
directed the striking out of section 81 in
relation TO timber lands, the words which
prevented persons from removing tim
Der for domestic purposes from state
lands except for their own use.
Mr. Critchlow moved to strike out "sa-
"
it being the intention to provide for them
in the mineral land bill. The motion pre-
vailed.
Mr.. Thompson of Sanpete. moved to
amend section 10, by changing the pro-
vision giving the preference right of pur-
chase of school lands, to settlers Rvho re-
sided thereon January !, 1894 10 1885, the
motion carrying.
Mr.. Morrison moved to rise and report
the bill favorably. Mr.. CaZier objected,
as he thought another sitting ought to
be had to perfect the bill. He was OPP
posed to the motion which had been car
ried eliminating saline lands from the
operation of the bill.
Mr.. Critchlow said he was not in ac-
cord with all of the provisions Of the bill
and he did not believe any other member
was, but it would be that way if the
consideration continued indefinitely. He
moved to amend the motion to rise and
report faVorably by excluding section rs,
the one involved in Mr.. Cazier's objection,
Mr.. Thompson of Sanpete moved to in
clude section 20 in the exception. The mo-
ton lost and the motion to rise as
amended by Mr.. Critchlow was carried.
The house then adopted the report Of the
committee of the whole.
