Helena, Feb. l0.-Speclal to the
ARGUs.-HalfOft the legislative session
has passed and twenty-three ballots
have been taken for short term sem
ator, but still there has been no
choice and prospects for settlement
are no brighter now than afortnight
ago. That certain number OF mem
bers will have to receive an equiv
alent in cold cash before they vii!
agree to a settlement is no longer
doubted, but how many will have to
be thus purchased and what prices
must be paid are questions which
cannot at this time be answere J..
But Ii Is believed that within another
week the atmosphere will have be-
come clearer and reasonable guess
may be made as to the result. The
Joint sessions are almost without
interest, the senate appearing Mt the
bar of the house at the appointed
time each day, the minutes III the
session of the previous day are read
and approved, the roll is called, no
choice IL announced and the senator's
depart. 1t is becoming tiresome.

mention OF each Is impossible, but
your correspondent will try and not
overlook any measure which may
pass both houses and become law
by the governors signature, or any
which may be Of special interest to
Fergus county readers.
An net establishing standard Of
weights aud measures has passed
both houses. After the bill had pass
ed the house it was asserted that
through a clerical error the weight of
one bushel of hay had been fixed at
1000 pounds, but this was evidently
canard as the senate passed the
bill without amendment.

standards for bushels: Apples and

carrots, 30; barley, n; heets, 80; buck

II, timothy, 45; hemp, A; turnips, 80;
clover, GO; Hungarian grass, 30; flax,
90; wheat, GO. The bill also provides
that 2GA bushels Of coal Of 1G pounds
each shall be ton, Hnd provides
penalties for the violation OF the pro-
visions OF the bill of not less than
800 nor more than $500.
House action on the bill creating
the Twelfth judicial district willprob-
ably not be had before the latter part
Of the coming legislative week. 1t is
now in the hands of the committee
on ways and means. While there
will doubtless be opposition from
some quarter, the grounds the oppo.
sition will take or the numbers they
can muster Is in doubt. One member
will perhaps offer an amendment
postponing the date OF its taking e.
feet until next January.
