AGREED FOR ONCE.

Shepard called the attention of the
house to the fact that he and Sloan
were for once on the same side of a
question. He was inclined to believe
that this measure was unconstitution-
al, but he would like more time to in
vestigate- The United States fixed the
legal tender quality of silver coins and
the outside creditors of Utah citizens
could not be forced to accept some
thing not made legal tender by the
United States laws.
Il think it better for the silver
cause" said he, that we keep this
kind of legislation off the statute
books. so that the people of the east
cannot say that the people of the west
are forcing the issue by placing laws
on their statute books that are in con-
flict with the laws of the United
States''
He moved that further consideration
of the bill be postponed for one day.

counties could afford TO antagonize the
interests of Salt Lake county, which
contained nearl, one-third of the pop
ulatioa OF the state
The hostility of the country soon
flickered out and the bill was amended
into shape satisfactory to Salt Lake
county. Thoreson was suspicious that
the country had been entirely left out,
but was assured that the outside coun-
ties were provided for.
The bill was then passed, Thoreson
and Wheeler adjourping to the cloak
room when the roll was called.

PAYMENT OF BOUNTIES.
House bill 81, by Cook. amending the
act providing for the payment of boun-
ties for the destruction of certain wild
animals and birds, was taken uD. The
bill amends the present statutes by
giving the county commissioners power
to pay these bOuntieS when, in their
Judgment, the best interests of the
count-f demand il. The present law
makes it mandatory on the commits
sioners. when petitioned by 100 tax
payers. The bill also provides that the
commissioners may appoint deputies 10
pay these bounties in precincts ten
miles or more from the count seat.
Roylance offered an amendment,
striking out all figures dxing the mini
mum rates for bounties, leaving only
maximum rates.
Ray offered an amendment, knocking
bears out of the bill. Bears were be-
coming scarce; they did little damage,
and people killed them for the glory
and the skins.
Oveson and Parry protested that
bears were quite numerous in south
ern Utah, where they destroyed young
colts, cattle and sheep.
The bear amendment was rejected
and the Roylance amendment was
adopted.
Ro--lance offered an amendment re-
ducing the maximum rates, which was
rejected.

Legislative Notes.

In the newspaper reports of Satur-

was credited with certain remarks re-
fecting upon the usefulness and in
dustry of Mr.. Shepard. He stated yes
terday that he intended his remarks
to apply to Mr.. BenniOn, who. he I'M
derstood. had referred to the commit
tee as "a lazy committee" Kenner's
remarks were misunderstood by the
members of the house, as well as the
press. Speaker Perkins has taken no
action on Chairman Shepard's resig-
nation as a member of the judiciary
committee. intimating yesterday that
the resignation might not go into eff
feet until the end of the session. Mr..
Shepard is still attending to the duties
of judiciary chairman.

WEIGHING OF COAL.


There were but 2S members present
at the evening session. The special
order for the evening was house bill
No. so, providing for the purchase and
distribution of 40 complete sets of the
reports of the territorial supreme court
one set 20 be given to each of the
county clerks, except the clerk of Salt
Lake county, who is to receive three
sets, one for each district judge and
each supreme judge, and one for the
attorney general.
Duffin offered a substitute for section
l of the bill, directing the secretary of
state to ascertain the number of copies
now in the possession of the county
clerks; where the SetS are incomplete
TO purchase new volumes to make them
complete. He stated that the legis-
lature of 1890 appropriated $1,000 for
the purchase of these reports, and COM
plete sets were not now needed by all
the clerks. The bill involved a useless
expenditure of money.
The substitute was adopted.
Other amendments were offered by
Duffin, providing that county clerks
only be provided with these reports,
and that Salt Lake county. be given
but one set
Shepard called attention to the fact
that Salt Lake county paid one-third
of the cost of these reports, and if the
county was given but one set, and
none TO the three district courts con-
stantly in session, it would be cheaper
for the county to order or purchase its
own reports, and let the balance of the
state go.
