WHITE AND HIS BILL.
Attorney General Robert c. white
came TO town yesterday to urge the
passage of the dill giving him 81 500
for extra services in connection with
extra work done in the Botkin case
and in the litigation over Assawaman
canal. He claims that by his prompt
ness in wiring to Chief Lees, OF San
Francisco, TO arrest Mrs. Botlain he
saved the state 5000 reward offered,
and that his work in the Agsawaman
case also entitled him to pay outside
Of his salary. His bill will have a
hard pun, even If 1t gets through at
an, for many members contend that
he should not 5e paid twice to do the
work of his office.
ODAYfS CONSTITUENTS.
| Representative ODay is carefully
conserving the interests OF his coustit-
uents, who embrace the oystermen who
make Leipsic, Little Creek and ST.
mons creek their harbo1s. Yesterday
afternoon he was given the privileges
of the floor in the Senate, and spoke
so effectively for the resurrection of
the House bill exempting the oyster
men who fish in Leipsic river and ST.
mons creek from the provisions Of the
special license law that the senators
lgranted his request, reccnsidered the
vote by which the bill was killed and
sent it back to the Committee on Fish
Oysters and Game for further consider
alton. He claims that the ,aw as it at
present exists works a hardship upon
these particular fishermen without
bringing to the state or the oyster in
terests any commensurate return.

Persons who are in the habit oi
drawing and giving worthless checks
would do well 10 bear in mind that th'
Senate has passed the House Dill MAX
ing such action misdemeancr. Th'
bill is net yet a law, because the SEN
Z ate made amendments which changes
7 the veIbage without altering the in
: tent, and the House will have to con
I cur in such amendments.
