OF this section are bound by no other

never come east of the Rockies. and
they have a standard OF their own by

did so successfully is evident by the
return trip this organization is max

on its western trip at Winnipeg, till

the Missouri river, did not know what

any theatrical company, but is borne
out by the facts and the box office

rendered everything fresh and new.

consideration House bill LOG, with re
gard to the withdrawal of money OF

the parties to tho account. passed the
house. The bill came up on specia
order of business, as there were many
among the representatives who be
lieved that the bill would be the means
of leading to a great deal of trouble
1t was seen, however, that the instru
ment was so worded as to permit ol
the withdrawal of moneys only by
agreement to that effect on the part OF
both parties at the time the cash was
deposited, and this disposed of all OBJ
iectlous. On Thursday. however the
bill led 10 quite an exciting debate on

minority were dead against the meas

House bill II also passed unani-
mously This bill provides for the es-
tablishment of a state board of dental
examiners and against the employing
of false statements on the part of uns
scrupulous dentists In an effort TO gain
trade. The words "cappers" and
"steerers" are used in the bill TO des-
ignate the paid human advertisements
employed by many of these dentists
to stand outside their doorwayS and
attract trade, and these words led to
a good deal of discussion. The pre-
else legal meaning OF the terms was
brought into question and upon a ref
totJ a. found
that capper meant a stool pigeon for
a gambling game. This discovery
led to another long and complicated
argument as to whether or not a den
lists office could be in any manner
construed into a gambling game.
Representative Baker gave 1t as his
opinion that In passing such law the
legislature would be virtually laying
down the ethics Of the dentistry busi-
ness and that such action was uncon-
stitutional. Representative Cannon OBJ
iected to the use Of "cappers and steer ,
ers" clause, on the ground that 1t
was slang and therefore below the
dignity Of the body. The question as
to whether OF not the money obtained

FOES OF TRE LEVEES,

Sources Of Danger to the Artificial
Banks Along the Mississippi.
people who know little about our
system of levees, the artificial banks
built to confine the flood waters that
pour into the Mississippi, no doubt
imagine that the heavy rains are the
only enemy with which the levees
have to contend,' said D. J. Gerry Of
Baton Rouge, La.
"On the contrary, the levees, both
during times of food and low water,
are subject to the incessant attacks
Of living foes, the destructive work of
which costs millions of dollars. These
foes are alligators, turtles, muskrats,
field rats, fresh water terrapin and
crawtish. Of all these burrowers that
prey on the levees, excavating within
them goodly chambers or tunnels, the
crawffsh do the most damage, with
the turtles and terrapins a good Sec
ond. The harm done by the alliga-
tors is comparatively small.
I'm repairing the banks, crawfish
holes are often found of immense size.
It. is these hollow spaces that in time
OF freshets cause caving in and
break of the levees, which of course,
brings on an inundation of all the ad-
jacent country The worst part Of the
business is that no way of exterminat-
ing these pests has yet been found,
and the only thing to be done is to
try to keep them away from the banks
as much as possible" -
