AFTER FEDERAL AID.
Senator Warren Urging Amendment to
River and Harbor Bill.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator War
rem today proposed an amendment to
the river and harbor bill now before
the senate committee on commerce, ap-
propriating s165 900 for a reservoir
system on Piney creek, and $50, 900 for
a reservoir on Gray Gulley river.
These streams are tributaries of the
Missouri in Wyoming. Similar amend
ments to the bill were defeated in the
house, but it is possible they may be
adopted by the senate and if so, west
ern members of the house will endeav-
or to have them retained in the bill
when it goes to conference.
Senator Warren also proposed an
amendment to the sundry civil bill, pro-
viding that any state taking advantage
Of the act of August 18th, 1894, known
as the Carey act. shall have ten years
from the date of final segregation of
lands in which to cause the same to be
irrigated and reclaimed. 1t provides
that If the state shall fail within ten
years to cause the land to be reclaim
ed, it shall revert to the public domain.
Representative Wilson of Idaho to-
day presented a memorial adopted by
the Idaho legislature. protesting
against any congressional legislation
for leasing public lands. The me-
Tnorialists assert that leasing public
lands to stockmen will interfere with

t. be one of the most fortuneate dis.

coughs, colds and all lung troubles OF
the severest nature, removing, as 1t
does. the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in a strong and
healthy condition. It is not an ex.
perimental medicine, but has stood the
test for years, giving satisfaction in
every case. which its rapidly increas-
ing sale every season confirms. Two
million bottles sold annually. Bos.

in the United States in 1868, and is

House bill No. 8, providing that
lands, with the buildings thereon, used
for schools, orphan asylums, or hospi.
tails, shall be exempted from taxation
So long as said lands and buildings are
rot used for private profit, was passed
b! the house yesterday afternoon, the
vote being 26 to s. This bill is design
ed to exempt sectarian schools
and hospitals of all denominations
from taxation, SO long as they do not
operate their Institutions as money
making schemes. Sectarian schools
are often of material advantage to a
community, relieving the c~ongested
condition of the public schools. In this
way they are certainly of more value
than the tax upon the property they
use. The decisive majority in the
house is indicative of the sentiment of
the people throughout the state.

FOR SAKE.

Representative Z. H.. Fourt of Ere.
mont county has introduced a bill for
an act almost the same as the indeter-
inmate sentence law OF the state Of

manity and advanced civilization and
should become a law.
The first section of Mr.. Fourt's bill
provides that when a convict is SEN
fenced to the state penitentiary other
wise than for life, for an offense or
crime committed after the passage Of
his act, the court imposing the sem
tence shall not fix a definite term of
Imprisonment, but shall establish a
maximum and a minimum term for
which said convict may be held in said
prison.
Section 3 of the bill gives the state
board of charities, under such rules
and regulations as they may prescribe,
authority to issue a parole or permit to
go at large to any convict who now is
or hereafter may be imprisoned in the
~p'nitentiary under a sentence other
than a life sentence, who may have Sc
cured the minimum term pronounced
by the trial court; provided that any
convict who shall make an assault with
o deadly weapon upon any officer, en-
ploye or other convict of said peniten-
tiary shall not be eligible to parole I'M
der this act.
Section ( provides that every con-
wet While on parole, shall remain in

governor may order said paroled con.
Wet to be returned to the p~enitentiary.
Full power to retake and return any
such paroled convict to the peniten'
tiary from which he was permitted to
go at large is expressly conferred upon
the governor whose written order,
