THE LEGISLATURE

The Legislature resumed work Mon
day evening after the two weeks vaca
ton. There was good attendance IN
both Houses and quite a little business
was transacted,
Tuesday morning there was nothing
ofimportance for either House and after
a short session adjournment was taken
until afternoon. Hu
In the Senate the matter of placing
members on salary basis was discussed
and finally the bill was passed. This gives
the Lieut-Gov. and Speaker of the House
salary of $3.50 and mileage for the
term and the members a salary of $3.50
and mileage for like period. This seems
to meet with general favor and may pass
the House.
Tuesday afternoon the House. after
considerable discussion, killed the EN-.
ployers liability bill by a vote of 1914 to
81. Thus another promise of the Re-
publican party in their recent platform
has been ignored. The other pledge
broken was the trustee bill allowing $40
exemption. The valued policy bill, Which
make> insurance companies pay full
amount OF insurance, passed the House
with little opposition.
Considerable time was taken up with
the bill relating to the fowage of land
and repeating chapter ISL of e public
statutes. M "a
The bill inquiring into the needs of an
addition to the state house has been or
dered to third reading in the Senate.
This morning the bill providing for one
license commissioner to appoint town
boards n places voting for license and
allowing the commissioner to grant
druggist licenses is to be considered bv

There appears to be a disposition to
move work rapidly and after the i'm
porrtant tax bill is disposed of there will
pc but little else to discuss, unless it be
the public utilities bill, which many hope
Will become a law.
1t now looks as if the work will be
completed in about two weeks.

that creamery companies just organic

million dollars, made a merry Christmas

Summer is the best time for cutting
timber. 1t dries rapidly and becomes
hard and sound. Cut and saw bass
wood in summer, and in a few weeks
it will become thoroughly seasoned
and will finally harden so as to al
most resemble horn. Cut it in winter,
and it will be so long in seasoning as
to become partly decayed before the
process can be completed. No doubt
the presence of the water or sap in
great abundance in winter. and espe-
cially toward the latter part, hastens
this incipient decay. Rails cut and
split in summer and the bark peeled
to hasten drying have lasted twice
as long as winter cut rails. 1t is the
practice to cut nearly all timber in
the comparative leisure of winter, but
it certainly would be better to pay
higher price to have it done in sum-
mer.

A common fault to be found with
the graded road work usually done by
road supervisors is that, while suffi-
cient earth has been brought to the
crown of the road, the ridge is usually
left rough and uneven, with the result
that few drivers have either the pa
thence or patriotism to work it down.
For this reason traffic usually follows
the slopes of the highways, the crown
of the road being left until teams are
driven on to it by muddy roads in the
fall or spring Were the crown of the
road finished more carefully and
smoothly and possibly dragged or roll
ed, the work would be much better
done and more satisfactory all around
to those who have to drive over it.

Italy's disaster has directed thought

the violent shaking of Charleston and
the calamity of San Francisco, but the
country apart from these has had COM

Mississippi valley had its BOOKINGS about

been lacking in the catastrophe which

wounded in the crash of buildings
brought down by the earth shocks; fire
added its terrors, and tidal waves in

towns and village have been left heaps of
ruins. In horror and destructiyeness
this catastrophe will exceed that of any
earthquake in Italy since that of 1743
