"Balzac's Droll Tales and the assem-
bly, awoke with a start. Attention
showed it was not Balzac and somebody
probably Stull-demanded. in conse-
quenee, that the reading cease.
Dixon appealed to the chair and asked
if he intended for the few obstruction
lists to rule the house. The chair re-
sponded in faint tone and Dixon APP
pealed. Appeal on roll call was sus-
tanned.
Gilchrist asked a question, and Lannin
asked if he was after information. Gill
christ said he did not care to make such
a fool of himself as Lannin. Meunier
suddenly awoke and entered a protest.
He forgot what he wanted to protest
against and when he remembered what
it was he found that the question had
been settled his way an hour previ-
Gus.
MacGinnis again arose. The speaker
told him to take his seat He did not
do 1t and the sergeant-at-ar was re-
quested to place him there. MacGinnis
gained the time it took the sergeant
to reach him and then peacefully seated
himself Sander made kick because
he had to vote at all. Meunier said the
fusionsts had caucus at s o'clock and
did not want to adjourn to an unhandy
hour. Toole moved as a substitute that
adjournment be taken until 1880. Ev-
erybody forgot that a vote was being
polled and new one began. Speaker
announced the hour as s o'clock. Mac
Ginnis waited until the vote was nearly
finished and declared that the hour had
been announced wrongly. Lannin moved

MacGinnis rushed excitedly about show

on to.

PRINTING BILL.
The bill permitting printing to be done
outside the state passed the senate this
afternoon, but a bitter fight will be
waged against it in the assembly. 1t is
declared that the bill is in the inter-
est of St. Louis and Portland printing
establishments.
The arguments to be advanced against
the bill in the house. as prepared by an
opponent of the proposed measure, are
as follows
Up to the time that the present law was
enacted. regarding the purchase within
1.-THE state of books and stationery sup
pies, but two rather insignificant book
binderies existed within the state of
Montana. Since that law has been in
effect in Montana seven we'll equipped
establishments have been built up. that

duct
In connection with these binderies
there are now employed about twenty
journeymen binders and in the folding.
gathering, ruling, etc, of the work some
thing over fifty young women and men
find emplo Rlent at fair wages. All this
wage money is expended in Montana,
whereas none of it was spent here under
the Old system.
Contingent upon the binderes in the
printing of headings etc. work is fur
nished through number of printers.
Added 10 the above facts it can be stat
ed. that under the benefits of the present
law the operators of binleries have in
vested approximately 5000 in equip
n1ents which would be deprecated imme-
d:a,e,y upon being brought into COMPETE
ticn with cheap labor factories.
1t can be stated, and is capable Of
proof by any one who viii investigate
the matter that the books, stationery,
supplies, etc, furnished to the counties
and state have not cost as much under
the present law as they did under the
old, where commissions We're paid to the
official who did the ordering.
Further than all this is the fact that
the industry of book making is being
built up here at home, the work is good,
is furnished al fair prices and 1.-THE wages
are all expended in the state. Consider
ing the cost of living in Montana, the
home work, is now furnished at a more
reasonable price than it ever was under
the Old law.

afternoon by Governor Toole and adopt
ed by that body was sent the chief exc

Pacific Northwest states have provided

petition to the Pacific coast in the city
of Portland during the year 1905 and
Whereas it is believed that the holding
of such an exposition will be of great
material benefit to the people of the Pa
cific coast and to the general government
