Senate Routine.
The senate routine was decidedly
mild today, the principal matters being
the final passage of senate bills two
and three. The former is bill in
troduced by Senator Taylor and is
what is known as the municipal bill.
1t provides for the extension OF the
police powers of cities to distance of
one mile outside the corporate limits,

in which the city of Grand Forks is es-
pecially interested. The other one was
the Hanna bill and adds Labor day to
the list of legal holidays in the state.

Washburn against Crane. from the
Sixteenth district, was laid before the
senate by Secretary of State Elaisiell.
This is the contest where the majority
secured by the contest was one vote.

bill, providing for public health laEor-

Times. The success of this bill Is a
decided compliment to the ability and
influence of Senator Taylor, as it is
generally supposed that bills of this
kind have little If any chance Of pass

The bill introduced some time since
providing for the method of foreclos-
ure of mortgages so that the prop
