Mr.: Stevens thought the amendment
alluded to by Mr. Ruttz in his resolution
was a bill introduced in congress by
Mr.. Gronna. The speaker then gave
some facts pertaining to the law enacted
last year. He had rnaaA himself in
formed as he wished to try alcohol for.
lighting purposes. He had found that
one gallon Of alcohol was equal to one
and a fourth Of gasoline. But he had
found out that there were no lamps
made N this country, but importers had
promised to secure some from Germany,
and he proposed to give it a test. Mr..
GTonna's BILL seeks to supply way So
that denatured alcohol may be made in
North Dakota. Certainly some amend
ment must be made to the law or the
latter will be a dead letter SO far as the
farmers in this state are concerned.
| Mr.. Buttz wanted to see provisions
created SO that an ordinary man can
make alcohol in this state The resolu-
tion was referred to committee on state
affairs.
Pursuant to resolution the speaker APP
pointed special committee TO secure
from the members the conditions in

Policeman Gooder: was one Of
three or four men who dragged the
hose cart to the Bertsch fire Wednes-
day morning and found it plenty hard
work and we were about played out
when we reached the scene. found
the hydrant wrench and got a stream
going in short order, but the nozzle
had not yet been put on and the
water had to be turned Off until the
nozzle was fixed on. There were
three wrenches on the hose cart 1t
is true the nozzle did not fit good and
gave us a great wetting, but we did
the best we could. We tried to get
some of those who were running along
the walk to help us pull the cart, but
they refused, and the same is true
when we wanted relief from holding
that cold nozzle in the effort to save
the wagons and things " like that
around the building. My coat was
solid with ice and I had to thaw. out
before 1 could get my coat off.
