term, and lives it's allotted number OF
years (from seventy-five to one hun

of the great birch family do, although
its height, under the most favorable

TO EXPEDITE MATTERS.

When the house was again called to
order after the reading of the message,
a concurrent resolution was introduced
by Critchlow and adopted by the house
which provides that the speaker of the
house and president of the senate con-
stitute a committee to whom shall be
referred all matters of legislation made
obligatory by the constitution as well
as all other matters necessary to meet
the requirements of the changed csn-
ditions from territorial to state gov
eminent, the committee to prepare
and introduce bills covering all such
subjects. The resolution recites the
necessity of some such action in the
interest of expedition and that no i'm
portant matter may be overlooked by
being left to the individual members.
