Effort to XIII Morgan Bill.

A similar effort was made to kill the
Morgan bill covering the same ground.
Senator sLayoourn argued that it was
practically the same, as the Somerville
bill and. there was no occasion for hav-
ing both before the senate. Mr.. Morgan
objected. While the Somerville mea sure
was a separate enactment, his was an
amendment to the present law and was
different in some particulars that might
find favor among the Senators. At any
rate, in case the Somerville bill was
knocked out, he wanted something in re-
serve.
So did the senate, for the minority re-
port, favoring the bill, was. adopted by an
overwhelming vote.

Senator somervllIe Is Angry. -
Senator Somerville Is considerably ex-

mon consent fra ternal organizations al

expressly defined by law.
Senator Johnson has greatly modified
his views as to, the eight-hour day sys-
tenn in the hospitals for the insane and
has introduced substitute bill providing
for an increase in the compensa ton for

That the commercial outlook for the

General Manager George T. Odell OF the
Consolidated Wagon & Machine com
pany today, Il find, on looking around
that business In this part Of the coun-
try Is generally good; and especially
since the last snowstorm has this been
apparent and made the prospects
gratifying. All through Idaho, hay is
selling rapidly, and the farmers have
sold out exceedingly well the past year
They have not disposed OF their sheep
and cattle with proportlonate rapidly,
but then that does not cut so much OF
figure. You may set 1t down as a
fact, that as the money Is In the soil'

yesterday who said that the hay has
largely been sold out in this immediate
intermountain country, and that the
demand is accumulated by the last snow

From what / can see, and from read

not believe there will be crisis this
year a sudden reversal or turn over
In commercial conditions may bring Il
next year but there Is no use In specu.
lating thus II Is merely matter OF
inference,
business men with whom ] have
talked regard the commercial outlook
as gratifying for the current year. The
banks Of this city and adjoining cities
Seem TO have plenty Of money. Loans
are not difficult 20 make where the bor-
rover has the collateral and deposits
appear to be on the increase. Very
likely, the railroad earnings have fallen
off a little for the present That may
be expected at this time Of the year.
But with the spirits Of our agriculture
lists and stockmen and mining men ris-
ing with the certain prospects Of water
for the coming dry season, there will
be large orders sent east for goods of
al classes and the railroads will profit
thereby The only drawback / can
think Of nt present Is the failure Of the
canal merger. and the consequent fail
urc OF the Utah lake reservoir plan
and the attending failure TO get the
government appropriation.

ing Of the district from which he has
just come
Although the country is not new It

important properties IN the Basin which

lines Of business. Money, however, con-
tlnues plentiful and the best stocks

that this market will be called upon

has caused a slight weakening In some
of the stocks on the list, as they may
