| Utah's expense bill for the service of
state troops during the Carbon county
strike was the subject of d bill intro
! duced in the senate by Senator Lewis
yesterday The bill calls Tor an appro-
priation of SIS, 625 TO pay a loan made
to the state by the National Park Bank
of New York on Jan. %, 1904. The
money was borrowed by Governor
Wells to pay the troops for their field
service. The amount is due within a
few days and Senator Lewis asked for
the immediate passage of the measure.
He had omitted to attach title to the
bill, however, and for this reason it
was sent TO the committee on appro-
priatiOns. The bill viii doubtless come
up today and prompt action will be
asked.

cultural interests of the state The

Senator Larsen explains that this bill
bears no relation to the ones preVi-

went TO the committee on agriculture
and irrigation.

state boards more strongly partisan
and terms of membership concurrent
with the state administration was made
when Senator Mckay introduced SEN
