The subcommittee OF the live stock
committee OF both houses has been nc
work for several days on the new cattle
dipping bill. which will soon be intro
duced In place OF all other pending ne
ures bearing ON this question. The NM
provisions Of the bill are for n state ~
stock commission TO be composed OF q
board OF Ave. three TO be from east OF the
Missouri River. and two from west Of
that stream. The duties OF the board are
to look after and protect the health OF
live stock iu the state. aud state v~cterinn-
rian 60 act with the board for this pur-
pose. On petition the county auditor IL
90 call " meeting OF interested parties, TO
select a man as county live stock IN
spector. aud the man so selected Is 10 he
appointed by the state board to act for
the county. His compensation to be
fixed by the county commissioner nc not
less than So nor more than 50 per day
for the time employed. These inspectors
may appoint dipping inspectors nj the
various dipping tanks. when petitioned
for that purpose.
Two methods of controlling the waters
of the state arc before the legislature for
consideration. One provides "A general
c,dc for control 90 Irrigation plants. and
comes from the western part az the state
where the government Z. taking mp that
class or work AMI preparing 10 bring q
large area 90 lnnl under irrigation: and
the other coming from the southern part
~ the state where they want water taken
on instead nf placed ON their lands.
When the residents of that section of the
state found that they must resort to
drainage. aud attempted to take up that
work they found that the water question
so far as the siatc was concerned has all
bsen handled from the other side OF the
,in"sttn. and there was no adequate pro-
vision FOR drainage works nn the state.
They are now attempting Ia secure n gem
eral code to cover the situation. and the
probabilities are that both sides OF the
question: will bc looked after before the
close OF thu session.
Mayor rnruh. Of TyndalI. was In
Pierre recently ou a mission of economy
aud reform In which he failed 60 receive
any great amount of encouragement Ills
desire is Ia close up every normal school
In the state. ms institutions which ara
useless. and OF no benefit Ia the state.
AZ least. that is his view or normnls. He
looks upon them ~ a sort Of state veri-
form appendix. which j. NOT only usc-
less. hut liable To- become dangerous nc
any time uu account of the cNpeuses at
tnched To- keeping them in existence. and
thinks that they should bc removed 10y "a
radical operation. and save future trou-
bles. The encouragement" which he IL
receiving j. rot such as 10 encourage
work in that direction, and the chances
are that he will be compelled to return

will agree no furnish n knife 10 perform
the operation with in the shape OF II bill
for that purpose.

has found that there iS no great profit 10
a legislator In n salary Of i've dollars per
day. which looks bigger In anticipation
than II does after IL has been received
and living expenses deducted from t. He
believes that the ''laborrr il worthy OF
his hire" and wants u constitutional
amendment submitted to the people TO
increase the pay of members 20 ten dol
lars per day. II Is not likely that tho
people generally will agree with him
ou that proposition when il comes 10 re-
cording their votes. as they have never
yet had any trouble Ia finding men ready
Ia take NJ the burden AZ the present
price. aud take all the chances In saving
enough out ~ u TO get home In ease
