LEGISLATIVE
FINISH
LAST WEEK OF SESSION Elk
CEEDNCLY BUSY ONE
FOR SOLONS.
Local Option Measure Passed
Last Week and Criminal Code
Agreed UpOn-Sevaral Other
Big Bills in Shape for Action at
Beginning of Final Week.

Olympia, March 8-With only fou
days to go, the eleventh Legislature
will have to devote every minute Of
the time to hard work if it expects to
get through with anything like the ma
jority of really meritorious bills.
The past week was one of good hard
ticks, and the result is that much has
been accomplished. Day and night
the Legislators have been at it, and il
will be day and night until the end OF
the session.
Big Bills Gotten in Shape
On big things the legislature is now
in fair shape. The military code, the
insurance code, the horticultural code
and the school codes have passed both
houses, and the agreement Of the con-
ference committee on the criminal code
Saturday practically put that out of
the way, members of both houses for
the most part being satisfied with the
result of the conference.
The most important thing left is the
general appropriation bill, which must
be agreed on somehow before midnight
next Thursday There is no chance for
the smaller bills calling for money un-
til the big measure is at least agreed
upon.

LICENSE STATIONS
See that All Stations Purchased
Are Registered to Stand for
Public Service.

Warning has been given repeatedly to
purchasers of stations. but some Of them
do not heed it and are purchasing stations
that canno, stand for public service. The
stallion registration law passed At the last
session Of the legislature. prohibits certain
stations standing for public service. To
stand for service. = license must be Sc
cured from the Stallion Registration
Board. A stallion sired by a grade or
scrub, cannot secure license. To secure
a grade license the sire must be registered
in stud book recognized by the u. 5. De-
partment Of Agriculture and to secure q
pure bred license. both sire and dam must
be registered in such book.
Grade horses on bogus certificates Of
registration, cannot stand for public service
As pure breds. neither can they stand As
grades, unless il is shown that the sire is q
pure bred. Stations that enter the State
since March Sth. 1909. that are affected
with hereditary ana transm,ssible diseases
and unsoundness IS sprinshalt. side bones,
roaring sPaving. ETC.. cannot stand Tor

in the State March 9Th. 1909. can stand
for public service. but any unsoundness.

The Stallion Registration Board has re-
csived large number Of bogus certificates
Of registration. These belong to grade
horses. which were purchased in the east
., very low prices and sold a. pure breas
in Montana. for thousands Of dollars. The
breeding Of some Of these horses 20 far.
has not been established and some Of them
will undoubtedly be denied licenses and
therefore cannot stand for public service

A YOUNG LION SLAYER
Boer Farmer Boys Make Good Shots
On the African Veldt.


On the African Veldt.
Three lions were killed near Pist-
eFsburg. TransVaal by the nineteen
yeaT-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a
Boer farmer. 1t appears that young
Erasmus was on his way to the Mes
sina mine and had outspanned his
donkey team, when his kafir k0y
came running to tell him that three
lions were tackIing the donkeys,
Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard
In the direction indicated On his
arrival at the spot he found the
lions lying around one Of the don
keys. He fired and killed a big
HOness. The other two jumped up
but he was ready and shot another
(younger) lioness. The young lion
which was left ran behind some
brushwood. Erasmus first collected
his donkeys and brought them into
safety and then once more carefully
approached the scene of the fight.
In order To find out If the two lion
eases were dead he fired another shot
At one Of them. This disturbed the
surviving lion who thereupOn came
forth roaring. Erasmus was again
ready and shot him dead on the spot.
Asked by the Velkesstem correspond
ent whether he was alone at the
time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no,
Oom.' had my little Kafir boy,
with me.'-TAe skias were sold in

Fish Nests i'm Gulf weed.

In the middle of the north Atlantic
there is an area of comparatively still
wafer almost equal to continental Eu-
rope in extent and more or less COW
cred with floating seaweed. It was
known as the Mar de Sargaco to CO.
lumbus and the early navigators, and
is the Sargosso Sea of modern geo
graphers. The floating seaweed was
formerly supposed to have grown near
the Bahama and Florida shores and
to have drifted to its present position
1t is now, however, known to grow
and propagate itself where 1t is found
In it are found globular masses Of
weed containing fish's eggs, and
known as fish nests.
Recent Investigations show that the
floating weed of the Sargosso sea IS.
the chosen breeding place of species
of flying fish. The eggs found In the
nests were attributed to certain species
of fish found resting on them. but
careful examination OF the eggs shows
that they really belong to flying fish,
Apparently, however the flying fish
do not make the nests themselves.
Each end of the egg of these fish is
furnished with punches of very long
Elementary tendrils. and by means OF
these finely divided branches OF the
Sargossun weed have been caught to-
gether in globular masses. The eggs
may be said to have made their own
nest-Eield.
