the senate all the appropriation bills
for improvements of public institutions

dam. Among other senate bills are
the lunacy commission bill removing
the girls from Whittier to Santa Clara;
the bill making the offices of city at
torney and city clerk in cities of the
fifth class appointive by the city coun-
Gil instead of elective; bill to favor the
transmississippi exhibition at Omaha;
the several road bills and the new irri-
cation law.
In the assembly the county govern
ment bill comes up. the bill raising the
population of cities Of the first class to
100000 and other equally important
measures. including the general appro-
prlation bill, which Is unfinished busi-

hard work to get through by that time.

The Los Angeles delegation has man

OF the fear that troubles may develop

will continue unless favorable develop
ments in that quarter check 1t.

the Northeastern railway strike. Natur-
