THE 1905 SESSION LAWS

The present session Of the leg
islature promises to make a lot
OF trouble for the 1899 code and
subsequent session laws. Up to-.
date more bills have been intro
duced than any session of the
past. If you do not get a COPY
OF the new measures, you will
not know what lis the law, and
you know that ignorance of the
law does not excuse any person.
The quickest, cheapest and best.
way to know the law is to buy a.
copy Of the Pocket Edition" of
the laws. This will be printed
within a few hours after the.
governor has disposed Of the last.
measure before him. It Will, in
addition to the laws, contain 81
pages Of North Dakota statisti-
cal matter, which will be Of. in
terest, we think. The Pocket.
Edition will cost but a dollar.
and its possession may save YOU
much more than this. Send this
sum and your address and the
lnter-O Ocean will have a copy de-
llvered you as soon as printed.
