founded upon facts, that q gentleman
who is in that business in Burleigh
county has sold off of his ranch since
last fall over 100 Shropshire bucks at an
average price of 1872 per head for breed
ing purposes"
The talk of the lobby yesterday was
the bill providing for the appointment of
a temperance commissioner. The infer
ance gained was to the effect that the
bill would no pass in its present form.
One member suggested that the board
of county commissioners of each county
act as temperance commissioners for
their respective localities, in case such a
commission is deemed necessary. The
commissioners would always be on the
ground and know how and when to act.
Another argument" said the member
"in favor of designating the county COM
missioners to act as temperance COM
missioners, is, that a saving would be
made to the state of at least $4,000 per
annum. Another feature of the case is
the additional court expense that would
accrue from the operation of the proposed
law. North Dakota has, asI understand
it, a prohibition law on the statute
books"
