that the courts cannot 60 back and in
vestigate the journals of the two
branches of the legislature.
The county attorney cites a recent
ruling of the supreme court of this
state, when, in deciding the case of the
state against Long, it said: 1.-The
presumption is that the legislature
and the officers thereof did their duty,
and that the bill vas regularly passed.
The presumption is strong and is in
dulged in by the judicial branch OF the
government as necessary to the peace
and good order of the state.'" 1t is
contended that the legislative and jul
dicial branches of government are CO.
ordinate and that the constitution
gives the latter no power by which it
can review the acts of the former. 1t
is further c%ontended that it must be
assumed that the legislature obeys
it's conscience and its duty, and that
it's assertion that it has done so in the
manner prescribed by the constitution
is conclusive of that fact.
The Only IrreguIarity.
In discussing the alleged irregularity
in the passage of the bill, the county
attorney says that the only technical
defect that can be found in the jour-
nal entries is the entry in the house
journal, where it is stated that the
speaker announced that he was about
to sign the bill in question, when the
journal fails to state that he there
upon signed the bill. 1t is contended
that this does not invalidate the bill,
as it was not alleged the speaker did
not sign the measur and an inspection
of the enrolled bill discloses the fact
that he did sign it.

sert that their barbed wire fences
are disappearing under this ~insectiv-
erous onslaught.
Talking seriously, it is a matter Of
no little concern to the small cattle
man and the ravaged territory is oc-
cupied largely by that class. The
range is denuded to such an extent
that no fat beef can be shipped this
year; in fact, the home demand a
not be supplied. Big outfits can. OF
course, move to another range, but
the little fellow has no alternative but
to sacrifice the sters which he expect
ed to cash in this season. Had the
corn belt feeder demand been good
the disaster would have been lessened,
but thin steers are a drug. Breeding
stock must be carried through the
winter on hay, but to attempt to keep
steers would be financially suicidal.
They must go at any old price that
can be secured.
when l left the 'hoppers were still
busy. Our hope is that they will not
be represented on the range next sea-
son. HISTORY shows that the hopper
has seldom invaded the same feeding
ground three years in succession.
tom Power. president Of the state
board of sheep commissioners, took
the matter up recently with Professor
| Cooley, the state bugologist. He is of
the opinion that only a cold winter,
such as Montana formerly had, will
do the business and prevent a recur-
renee of the scourge. Down east here
a hopper invasion is more easily COM
batted than out on the range, where
, large tracts are under individual COM
troll and the profit per acre is SO small
that none OF the usual remedies are
practical.
81 am convinced that with the right
kind of winter the hopper will disap-1
pear from our ranges, but in the mean
time we are up against a condition
that-is calculated to put the staying
powers of many a man whose business
looked promising to a severe test"

Mr.. and Mrs. o. c. Gruwell left
yesterday morning for Butte, in re-
sponse to a telegram informing them
of the death of their g%randchild, the
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. e.

eastern part of the state and was re-
turning home on the North Coast Linn

form at the depot he met Mrs. Gruwell,
who was prepared to proceed to Butte,
and Joined her. This was the first in
tiu1ation he had received that the
Child had been sick.

1.-THE VINEGAR BUYER."'
Cleyer Comedy Rendered ArtisticaIly
~ by Clever Actors.

= Real pleasure is afforded in the
ability to say that for once a good
house witnessed the performance OF
a m%eritorious company in a meritor-
ious play produced at the local theater.
1t is so seldom that this occurs that
it is worthy of remark. II Ezra Ken
dali and his very efficient support have
eve heard OF the way in which good
companies and clever plays are avoid
ed by the theatergoers OF this city,
they must feel highly honored because
of the size of the audience hat wit
messed their production of 1.-The Vine
gar Buyer last night.
While Mr. Kendall was the planet
around which the lesser ones revolved,
it should not be taken that he and his
personality were all there was to the
play or it's rendition. 1t is true that
he is the star and hat without his
quaint parsonage and drOll manner
isms the play would probably be less
acceptable, yet the support given him
is adequate in all respects and the
supporting members of the company
are given ample opportunity to display
their talent throughout the entire per-
Torrance. Mr.. Kendall is like the late
Sol Smith Russell, and yet he is un-
like him. In addition to being IN ex-
cellent comedian in his peculiar line
OF comedy, he is also a humorist and
wit, as was evidenced by the little
talk he made between the second and
third acts, when in response to a cur
tain call that would not be denied he
appeared and expressed the appreci-
alton of himself and company of their
reception and closed by telling his
inimitable story of the incident in
the lavatory of a sleeper as it was
passing through a tunnel.
1t would be manifestly unfair to
mention individuals of the troupe
without mentioning all, and it can
only fbe said of all that they gave
the most acceptable performance seen
here in a long time. Each one is
good. clever and conscientious and
their combined work is resultant of
a production meritorious to the high
este degree. The play is, perhaps,
best described in Mr.. Kendall's own
words-"a good play for good people,
and a bad play for bad people,"

Good Racing Furnishes Amusement
Despite Heavy Track.

= A much better feeling exists be-
tween the elements and the managers
of the Billings fair than marked their
relations last week.
After having given the wind, rain
and snow time to think the matter
over and cease their interference, the
management resumed operations yes
terday. On account of the break in
the programme because of the bad
weather, the attendance was probably
not as large as it would have been had
conditions been otherwise. The
roads are still very muddy, despite the
sunshine and warm winds of the last
few days, and this no doubt prevented
many from the country from coming
in.
Because of the heavy track no fast
time was made, but for all that the
different races were interesting and
at times exciting.
The track events were
