When the senate convened in regu-

at noon January 10, most of the sena-
tors were new to each other and new
to the people and as, lawmakers they
were untried. Tomorrow, Tuesday,
the regular fifty day session provided
by law comes to an end. To speak
more accurately the pay of the sena-
tors comes to an end, but they may
continue the session as long as the
house members are willing TO refrain
from going home to sow oats and will
stay and work for nothing.
During these fifty days. which end
tomorrow, new senators have been
tried and many of the newest have
been found, each in his own peculiar
way, to be representing the people and
they will go back to their constituents
with clean senatorial escutcheons.
This is especially true of every sena-

closest to the hearts of the people

Work on Oil Refinery to Be Conn

Warden Jewett has already begun the
preliminaries to building the state oil
refinery, and he hopes. to get the actual
work under way in a month. providing
of course. he remains as warden of the
penitentiary.
Mr.. Jewett talked the refinery matter
over with Governor Hoch Saturday, and
the governor instructed him to proceed
at once to carry out the provisions of
the refinery bill. The attorney generals
department was asked to draw up the
form of the state bonds to be issued,
and it is expected that the state school
fund will buy the bonds. There has
been some talk that test of the con-
stftutiOnality of the refinery measure
will be made by having the state audi
tor hold up the bonds, but Warden
Jewett says he knows of no such ar
rangement. The refinery measure is
much like the state binding tWine plant
law, for which bonds were issued and
which has been in operation for six
years, so it would seem peculiar to go
on the supposition that. it is unconsti-
Warden Jewett will go to Peru in

quarters for the convicts there, said
Warden JeWett in discussing the mat
ter. I'VE have brick enough now ON

to buy the material here. There is an

BATTLE OF THE GIANTS
Elks and FOresterS Battle for
Supremacy of Diamond.

A comedy in nine acts was enacted
at the fair grounds Sunday in the
base ball game between the ForeSters
and the Elks. Each lodge has for
some time. been boasting Of the
superior athletic abilities of its mem
bers, and so a ball game was chosen as
as the means of determining which
organization should be considered the
''cbampeenS' of the diamond.
Tom Mullen for the ForesterS went
forth among the members Of the
lodge he represented and sought
among them for members who had
either seen ball game or had heard
how one was played. So likewise did
Demitz and Sutor, for the Elks, seek
ing for all who knew or pretended to
know the difference between high
ball and (g)rounder. Lo! And among
the members of both lodges there were
many such, and the seekers found
that for which they sought. The
final lineup as they appeared at the
scene of battle was:
