posed two bounties, and that the aver
age of them would be IS, as the original
bill provided.
Mi. Luke said the object Of the amend
m1ent was to encourage the killing off Of
the female wolves. A gentleman who is
reputed to have the largest wolf farm in
the state was interested in the bill, had
made the statement that the female
wolves were not killed in order that the
offspring might prove serviceable in Sc
curing large bounties, and the amend
mept il passed, would serve as an en-.
couragement to him to dispose of part of
his wolf farm. The average county Of

than a straight bounty on all wolves, re-

The amendment was lost by a vote of
ID to IA.
MI. Dunlap thought there should be a
bounty on prairie wolves. They were
the only wolves to be found in the val
ley and were causing great loss among
the sheepmen. He offered as an amend.
ment that prairie wolves be added to
those on which bounty should lie paid
and the bounty to be 81 each.
The amendment was lost by vote of
q to 6.
The question was then on the final
passage of the bill as reported by the
committee, and it was passed. Mr.. Dun
lap voted against it because he said, it
was an unjust discrimination, and there
should be a bounty on prairie wolves.
SENATE BILLS PASSED.
The following senate bills were passed
on third reading:
Senate Bill No. "a, Hanna's, relating
to the manner of sale of grain under
foreclosure.
Senate Bill No. SO, Mobiles, relating to
the n of notice and collection of
taxes.
Senate Bill No. SO, Titles, providing
that revocation of attorneys license con
stitutes forfeiture of office as attorney.
Senate Bill No. 70, Creel's, memorial
to congress for passage of subsidy bill.
SUBSIDY RESOLUTION.
MIR. Noble spoke at some length
against the subsidy resolution. He said
the resolution urged the passage of
United States Senate Bill 5O24, relating
to granting subsidies to steamship com
panies. He believed that bill to be an
improper one. 1t granted subsidies
ranging from $3.50 to $4,000, which
might be earned by ships of varying
tonnages and speeds in a trip between
New York and Liverpool. The total
cost would approximate fifty millions an
nually and the bill was not in line with
the best g for increasing and better
ing the merchant marine of the United
States, which would be by discriminat-
ing duties-not by subsidies which
might be earned in an indirect way by
railroad companies and foreign owners
of ships: He moved that the bill be
amended by expunging the reference to
the passage of the senate bill and in
sorting a recommendation for the pas
sage of the bill in the house of repre-
sentatives, looking to the same end, but
through discriminating duties.
Mr.. Creel said the bill had been drawn
by the chairman of the national repub-
lican committee and it was to be pre-
sumed it was in line with the doctrines
of the republican party for the building
up of the merchant marine. 1t was not
necessary to take up the time of the SEN
ate with further argument. The OBJ
lection of the senator from Bottineau
were narrow and selfsh-like the desire
of Bottineau county for a school of for
estry.
The amendment was lost and the bill
was passed. Mr.. Twichell voted against
the passage of the bill. Admitting, he
said, that the representatives of the state
at Washington were not as intelligent as
the members of the state senate, and this
was to be inferred from the fact that the
senate thought it necessary to instruct
them, he believed that they would ac-
quire enough intelligent information on
the bill in hearing it discussed in CON
gress, to enable them to vote more in
telligently than the proposed instruc-
tions would. He voted against the in
struction.
Senate Bill No. Al, Twichell's, amend
ing the revenue law relating to time Of
dellnquencies of taxes, was read the
third time and passed.
HOUSE BILL PASSED.
House Bill 46, amending the drainage
law and legalizing warrants issued un-
der the old law, was read the third time

The concurrent resolution Of the house

senate.

ferred. House Bills 40 andes were read
