Senator Taylor Holds the Record
Probably the best record for success
full passage Of bills was made by
Senator Taylor. He introduced
seven bills and they all passed safely
through both houses, although some OF
them somewhat disfgured in passage.

Complimentary to the Tribune
Both houses yesterday passed resolu-
tions Of thanks to the Minneapolis
Tribune for it's past and present aid
in the upbuilding of this state and for
the generous tender of space in its
columns free of cost to the state for
setting forth her advantages.

GaveIed and Chaired-Both the pre-
siding officers were presented with
the chairs so ably filed by them dur
ing the session, and boquets in the
way of laudatory resolutions were
thrown around with prodial hand,
all of which showed the general good
will and kindly feelings which existed
in both branches.

3 A Greasy Proposition Considering
the 1ubricating powers of oil, the bien-
NAL passage of an oil inspection bill
is a causus belli between the two
houses of the legislature. Two years
ago the bill was the cause of much
turmoil in the dying hours of the ses-
sion, but was finally agreed to. We
are in progressive age, however, and
"a new way was evolved to settle the
dispute. 1t is a question as to who
won out behind the scenes.

Compliments Bismarck-Repres
tive j.. NJ Anderson of Grand Forks,
introduced the following resolution in
the house last night and it was
unanimously adopted: ssz
Resolved, That the thanks of the
house of representatives of the tenth
legislative assembly be extended to
the people of Bismarck for the numer-
GUS courtesies they have shown the:
members during their soiourn in the
Capital City.
Surely Killed the Woodchuck-If
there was any Woodchuck in the Oil
inspection bill 1t was neatly put to
death in a digniied manner by the
senate. Late in the afternoon the
house sent the bill over to the senate
as several times requested, but
senatorial dignity had been so ruff1ed
that a resolution had been passed pro-
viding that upon majority vote the
presiding officer might be instructed
not to sign the bill and thus put a
quietus on it. At this writing it is not
known whether such drastic action
was taken. but at any rate the bill did,
not reach the governor-and Frank
Wilson is wondering where he is at.
And there are others.

Speedy Work--Ye Yesterday afternoon
bills were passed by the house in
double quick order. The work has
accelerated by the chief clerk reading
in a low tone one bill while the as
sistant was calling the roll on another,
and during part of this performance
it was not unusual for the speaker to
chip in with an announcement of the
vote on still q third bill, which only
those close at hand could hear. This
was the only way in which the formal
reading and passage Of the many bills
could be accomplished in the limited
time left of the session. Everybody
was willing that it should be done in
this way and there was no kick,
especially as half the members did
not know what was going on, anyway,
owing to the great confusion.
A Good Hustler Thursday after
noon the death OF the two bills Great
ing the new Ninth judicial district
seemed settled beyond peradventure
as the bill for the creation Of the
Tenth district had been killed and
