cars. Everett recommended the bill
be reported for passage. This was
seconded by Martien. Rae, as q sub.
stitute, moved the bill be postponed.
bidder seconded the motion. Ed.
wards said, as q representative Of the
stock interests, he thought the bill
i~nexpedient, because he questioned
whether a railroad could maintain a
rate OF twenty miles an hour, includ.
ing stops, without going at least thirty
miles an hour. Everett said he intro.
duced the bill at the request of some
OF the leading stockmen of the state.
He said it was copied after the North
Dakota law, which had proved very
successful and read a telegram from
w. S. Parker, q we'll known cattle
man OF that state, indorsing the law.
The Chouteau county senator said it
appeared to be hard to get anything
through affecting the railroad yet
laws were easily passed affecting the
farmer, stockmen or merchant. The
bill was killed.
The senate also killed the following
house bills: ITO, regulation Of coal
mines; l56, increasing number of depu.
ties allowed county officers; 299, re.
curing railroads to pay the state
board of live stock commissioners for
stock killed on railroad.

Caledonia has been French penal colony
since the early nfties. and at the present
moment the French settlers in the New
Hebrides are more numerous than the
British.
When Capt. Cook discovered the New
Hebrides in the course of his second voyage
he also made the acquaintance of perhaps
the most undesirable people on the face
of the earth. Terocious and cannibalistfc,
these western Pacific islanders are as vol

1t was not needful to tell any one else

they parted like friends of years.
