State Law Mill =.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. q. Both
houses, of the legislature did some
"wash day" work under suspended
roll calls with few members present
in either house. No bills could De
passed, but number were introduced
and reference made of all bills on the
desks. The most interesting bill was
introduced by Peterson OF Wells,
which provides for reduction OF the
penalty for violation of the prohlDltiocn
law SO as to bring jurisdiction OF these
offenses into justice court. Penaitles
are reduced to fines OF $50 to 500 ana
Jail sentences of ten to thirty days.
Present penalties make onensesI
against the prohibition law a matter
of district court jurisdiction, ana
Peterson's bill relates that convictions
cannot be had at many points IN tne
state because of the severity OF the
sentences.
Among the bills introduced was one
providing all appropriation for ths
purchase of ten acres OF land at ola
Fort AbercrOmbie and the grounds Oh
the first Christian mission at Walhalla
for the state historical society. some
appointments were sent to the senate
but were not acted, upon because Oh
the small number of senators present.
Majority and minority reports VIII
probably be presented by the commit
tee that visited Madison in the inter-
ests of grain inspection in co-opera'
ton with wisconsin. Members OF the
committee differ as to the merits OF
the proposed Wisconsin bill The
principal complaint is that Gov. La
Toilette will not agree to appoint a
North Dakota man to be named by the
governor of this state on the board OF
appeals.

Duluth, Mimi. Feb. %. = A Joking
friend was the means of giving AS

erby good deal of unsought and dis
tasteful notoriety q few days ago.
They came here this week to file on
claims at the local land office. and al
ter holding their places in line for
some hours with a number of men,
politely gave place to four women
who wished to file claims. This polite
ness changed Mr.. Somerby from Sec
ond to sixth place in the line, and as
he stood in the cold, bundled up in 3
big shawl, his friend told him he
looked like one of the women anyway.
and the remark being repeated later.
led to the incorrect report to which
wide circulation has been given, much
to Mr.. Somerby's embarrassment.

THE GRAIN INSPECTION.

The Wisconsin Legislators Are Slow
in Acting on the Grain inspection
Bill.
A special telegram from Madison,
Wis, to the Superior Evening Tele'
gram says:
Committees from the Superior boaro
Of trade and from the State OF North
Dakota, appointed pursuant to me-
mortal and resolution Of the leglsla'
ture of the latter state were here yes
terday for the purpose OF working ~
the interest of the grain bill which
was scheduled for consideration by
the committee tomorrow. At the last
moment representatives Of some OF
the railroads who are opposed to Ne
passage of the bill appeared and
asked that the hearing be postponed.
This request was granted and the
hearing was put over to Feb. rs.
John A. Murphy of Superior, whG
represents the Great Northern and
other interests, said that his clients
were not ready yet to present tlS,ir
case.
It leaked out here that the friends
of the measure had expected that the
opposition in some quarters had been
allayed because of the unanimous
stand taken by the Dakota Legislature.
There now seems to be indications OF
organized opposition: The people here,
however. who favor the measure;
while they think they see strong
fight believe that in the end there
will be no question about its passage.
Loyalty to Wisconsin and state pride
seems to be an influential faccor
among the members of the legislature,
while they are convinced that great
wrong is being worked to the produc.
ers of wheat under the present in
spection, and, they wish to remedy
this. They are also insistent on Sc
curing this immense business for Wis.
consin. Wisconsin sentiment seems to
be growing. While when the bill was
first introduced little was said re
specting it., now a large number OF
the members are personally engaged
in assisting its passage.
Another View.
A St. Paul message to the same pa
per says:
The committee of members of the
North Dakota legislature that went to
Madison Monday night to confer with
the Wisconsin legislature over the
plan of getting the two legislatures to
gether on the Wisconsin grain inspec
ton matter returned to-day, one day
earlier than was expected, and it lef;
for home this afternoon.
1.-THE committee is very much dis
satisfied with it's trip said Senator
Jud LaMoure, the head of the delega
ton, a: the Merchants. I'VE had been
led to believe certain things by those
who have been pushing the matter al
Bismarck on behalf of Wisconsin, and
it took US but short time to find out
that there was nothing in the repre-
sensations and that we had been mis-
led throughout. Practically none Of
the promises made to us could be car
rled out, and we discovered that ii i
simply a scheme to rehabilitate tx
old Superior board Of trade. They
wanted us to give them some mora
support, and the way things ave
turned out don't see how we can d.
1t. That is the whole thing in nut
shell, and so far as can see, that )
the end of 1t.
