SENATE.

The grand finale of the state fair
agitation for this session of the legis-
lature was played in the senate yester-
day afternoon when Mr.. Bacon moved
the concurrence of the senate in the
house amendments locating the fair at
Fargo and Grand Forks in alternate
years and increasing the appropriation
to ten thousand dollars per year.
Upon motion of Mr. Bacon the SEN
ate concurred in the house amend
ments to the bill.
Mr.. Voss said it was unfortunate
that the senate had concurred in the
amendments before the members knew
what they were, and moved to recon
slider the concurrence vote, which was
lost. He then moved to amend by
striking out the words permanently
located" on the ground that the legis-
lature might at some future day wish
to change the location of the fair. The
amendment was lost. He said that
many senators had asked him if the
people Of. Mandan really wanted to
give up the fair and he assured them
such was not the case. He felt that a
grave mistake was being made in re-
moving the fair, but he was here with
a divided house and unity of action
was impossible, still he would vote
against the bill. IS
Mr.. Crane believed the removal
proposition a vicious one, an agree
ment made between the two large
cities without due regard for the best
interests Of the state, which was not
well enough equipped with people or
resources at this time to hold two
fairs. House bill Sc, he said, provided
plenty Of money to provide for county
fairs and that was about all these two
fairs would amount to anyway; II the
counties of Cass and Grand Forks
wanted the fairs they should tax them
selves for them and not make the peo-
pie, of the state pay the bill. He was
sorry SO much personal feeling had
been injected into this fair matter
and hoped if the bill passed that it
would end the trouble. It was a great
mistake, he thought, to vote $4,000 a
year for this matter as from a business
point Of view it was foolish, the en-
tire matter being simply an agreement
between two cities to let one down
easily.
Mr.. Bacon said he came here ex-
pressly for the purpose securing the
fair for Grand Forks and that he would
have done so had not men from his
town and Fargo pleaded with him for
the compromise and he had consented
only in the hope Of restoring good feel
Ing. The agreement has made 1t pos-
sible for both cities to hold a fair and
has added q little to the appropriation,
and he now believed 1t for the best In
sterest OF the state to have the fair al
ternate. He closed by saying that he
could assure all that Grand Forks
would give q good fair. The bill pass
ed 81 to z.
Tilt Over Libel Bill.
A little tilt occurred over the Street
er libel bill. Mr.. Regan rose to q
point Of order after the bill had been
read the third time and just before
the roll call. claiming the bill was not
properly before the house under rule
~, which provides that bills must lie
over q day after being reported from
the COMMITTEES.
Mr.. LaMoure said the rule for the
appointment OF the steering committee
abrogated all rules conflicting there
