Gov. Stanley has hit the practice OF
"omnibusing" local bills "a solar
plexus Glow by vetolng a lol of meas
ures thus passed. The law requires
that upon third reading ana final
passage any measure must be read i'm
full and the vote taken by ayes and
noes, and of course the plain intent
is that each bill shall he read by the
clerk of the house in the hearing of
all the members and the roll immrd-
lately called on that one uill. But
for many years it has been the prac-
tice for each house to gather up its
local bills in some idle hour and have
then4 all read at once. Quite COM
monty the member who introduced
the bill reads 1t himself, and the
spectacle of dozen or fifteen men
standing up near the clerks desk and
reading each different bill at the
top OF their respective voices, Is one
that Is more amusing than IL is dig
niiied or edifying. When the read
ing is done the roll Is called and the
record is made as if the whole thing
had been done decently and i'm order.
Some vicious bills have crept through
in this way, and Gov. Stanley pro-
poses to put stop to it.

One of the reasons that f. b.
Dawes, eX-attorney general, is lead
or in the House is because every body
in the chamber, and in all the ad-
joining territory, can hear what he
says. Another reason is that he gen
orally gets on the right side of ques-
tions and speaks briefly to the point
and quits when he gets through.

WILLIAM STRIVE.
The Victim of the Emery Mine Accident
Laid to Rest.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Deer Lodge, April FIT was one of
the hardest matters to find out the real
name of William Strive, the man who
was killed at the Emery mine last Sat
urday, as no one here, not even his
working partner, seemed to know it.
and thus it was that it was severally
printed as Stuart and Strew, ana it
was it was hard matter to find his
wife and friends in Butte. His wife
came down sunday evening and then
his true name was learned.
The funeral of the deceased took place
from the Methodist church this after
noon at . o'clock, Rev. A. A. Walker
officiating. and was attended by a large
number of citizens, who deeply SYM
pathize with the wife and child of the
unfortunate man. A number of friends
among whom We're l.. j. Fisher and
wife of Butte, also came down to be
present at the funeral.
Deceased was 26 years of age and a
native of Germany. He leaves a young
wife of prepossessing appearance and
a girl baby just toddling about. and a
married sister, who lives at Rossland

Mr.. Strive was a Woodworking man.
depending upon his labor to support
his family, and leaves them in strait
ened circumstances, as he carried no
insurance and was possessed of no
wealth. His wife will soon leave for
the home of her parents near st. Paul.
OF the other three men who were in
jured by the explosion, Carman John
son is considered out of danger. but
the condition of both Como and F'rence
is critical, and while they may survive,
their wounds are SO serious that it
would not be a surprise if both sue
cumbed to them. This morning Frence
is apparently a trife better than yes
terday, but it will be several days yet
before the worst is reached. The at
tending physicians are not at all SAN
guine as to the ultimate outcome, but
hope for the best.
Phil Hoffman, formerly of Philips
burg but more recently of Anaconda,
died AT st. Joseph's hospital Saturday.
His body was embalmed by Undertaken

A BIOLOGICAL STATION
One Will Be Opened at Flathead
Lake.
TO STUDY MON TANA LIFE
Object OF the Experiment Is to Give
Students an Opportunity to In
vestigate Life as 1t Exists
in This State.

A communication has been received
at the Standard office from Prof. J
Elrod of the University of Montana al
Missoula relative to the establishment
of biological station at Flathead Lake
1t reads as follows:
During July and August a station
VIII be opened at Flathead Lake for the
purpose of spending a month or more
IN the study of the life of the state of
Montana. The object is threefold.
First, to offer to the high school teach
ers of the state an opportunity to col
lect material for class work, and to be-
come familiar with methods of collect
ing and preserving material Second,
to offer to the young people of the
state an opportunity for the practical
study of various forms of life and to
AID them in beginning the study of
nature from the field, the most valu-
able and practical way Third to ex-
tend to advanced workers and investi-
gators in this state and other states
an opportunity for study along special
lines and in special groups To offer
aid in collecting in remote regions: to
offer some facilities for study in the
collecting ground, and to this make a
beginning of the study of the life of
the state.
The exact location of the station has
not been determined, but it will be
shortly, as tour of the lake is to be
made at once. 1t is sufficient at pres
ent to say that the location will be con-
Venient to good collecting grounds and
in a suitable place for camp. 1t is
the expectation to make a camp. have
large dining tent, a house in which
to work. and let those attending sup
ply their own tents and bedding, or
rent tent, as several will be for this
purpose.
The station will be at the season of
the year when camping is a delight.
The lake has an altitude of about 900
feet, is 80 miles long and Is miles wide
at the widest portion. There are plenty
OF islands, bays, creeks. swamps woods
ana valleys, and the whole is hanked
by the beautiful snow-capped Mission
mountains. Such a station will have
great attractions and will offer adj
Vantages the state has never before
offered. F-
The station will be equipped with
gasoline launch carrying eight people
at speed of six miles an hour, a row
boat, team and wagon. nets, dredges,
bottles, reagents, books,
etc. Provision will be made for a dark
room for photography and a work room
for laboratory. 1t is an excellent re-
gion also for geology.
The expense to those attending will
be railroad fare to and from the sta
lion and the cost of living at the sta
ton. AS the station will be some 80
