Governor White vii, Cat, Special
Session Of the Legislature 70
Relieve institutions Affected
BY Bond Decision.
BY Bond Decision.

Governor White will call a special
session Of the legislature In Septem-
Der to pass legislation that will meet
the emergency caused by thu supreme
courts decision with regard to the
$750.000 Of state institution bonds au-
thorized by the last session Of. the leg
'islature. The exact date for the ses-
sion has not been fixed yet, and will
not be until the governor returns from
q trip through the state. on which he
will visit the different institutions af-
fected . by the invalidating Of the
bonds. and ascertain from the trustees
and managers of the institutions what
amounts Of money they can make es-
sentfally necessary improvements with.
The governor desires to have an
agreement reached between the differ
ent institutions, SO that when the spe.
cial session convenes there will be no
friction between institutions as to
how much each shall receive. The in.
situations specially affected are the
state asylum at Jamestown. normal
schools at Valley City and Mayville.
agricultural college at Fargo. univer-
sity at Grand Forks. school for the
deaf at Devils Lake and reform school
at Mandan.
The state capitol also has an issue
Of 100000 Of bonds authorized. and
legislation for this will be of differ
ent class than for the other institu-
tions, as sale of capitol lands may
be authorized and the proceeds there
of appropriated directly to the work
of building.
The reaching Of an agreement be-
tween the other institutions will en-.
able the bills for them to be prepared
in advance and the session. the gov
ernor says. need not last over three or
four days. The total expenses will
not be over $4,000.
The question of the bond of the
state treas er may also come before
the legislature. The treasurer gives
bond Of S25O.0OO at present, and
there is a balance Of about $500. 900 in
the permanent school fund of the
state. Under the law. state funds are
deposited in designated repositories
and the bond of the treasurer Is there
upon relieved. but there is question
whether the permanent school fund is
state fund. or only a special fund
which the state has in trust and
whether the bond of the treasurer Is
relieved when these funds are de-
posted. This matter will probably
be settled by the special session.

These hoods and pri- mary chambers are arranged so that they can be drawn out of the way when shell is to be placed in ore of the stands.
 From the primary dust chambers the gases are conveyed through air uptakes into secondary dust chambers mounted on the roof of the building. one for each pair Of converter stands. The secondary dust chambers are connected into an foot flue extending along the top of the building into a stack 125 feet high. This stack has an opening in the bottom for the re- moVal of accumulated dust.
 Under each converter stand is a track on which runs cars carrying the moulds into which the bullion is poured, each car carrying the moulds into which the copper IS cast into in ingOts weighing 300 pounds.
 After pouring, the ears are run to the bullion floor, where, after the in gots are cleaned and made ready for shipment they are run over scales into the railroad cars, which are set in on a spur at the end of the bullion floor. Two electric drills are used for drilling for samples.
 At the east end Of the converter building Q space is provided for lining converter shells. Pneumatic rammers for packing the lining are now being installed.
 The lining is prepared in the silica mill located near the lining floor. The arrar cement of the mill provides for the handling of the material entirely by gravity conveyers. The material lis dumped from the narrow gauge cars lat the top and after being crushed and run through the mixing pan is delivered to the lining floor. A 125 horsepower motor furnishes the power for driving the machinery.
