ton also provides that if such ap.
peintees could not serve, that the
committee be instructed to employ a
lawyer to aid it in the investigation
Cluston of Cascade, chairman of the
land investigation committee, and
Pierson of Carbon objected to this ad-
ditional expense which Mr. Bogart
proposed. After much discussion and
divers motions Pierson finally moved
to table Bogart's motion. The motion
to table was lost by vote Of 10 to SO,
several democrats voting with the re-
publican side of the house.
The discussion reverted to the orig
inal motion of the gentleman from
Missoula and finally resulted in Gray
moving as a substitute for all motions
that further discussion of the PROPOSE
ton be denied and made a special or

Ing. Gray's motion carried.
During the discussion Bogart ad-
mitted that one of his reasons for in
Producing the motion to employ spe-

inspiring some lawyer member of the
body to volunteer his services to the
committee.
In a Quandary.
According to a petition which was
this morning submitted to the house,
the citizens of Carter, Mont, have
been getting more than their share of
county government during the past two
years. When Sanders county was Gre
ated two years ago the line dividing
1t from Missoula county was so placed
that it passed through the town of
Carter. Most of the residents of the
town did not know, and do not know
to this day, in which county they re-
side. Carter citizens who really live
on the Sanders county side of the line
are sending thier children to school
in Missoula county and vice versa,
while both counties are trying to COL
lect taxes from the villagers. At the
last election a number of Carter resi-
dents who believed they were Sanders
county subjects, drove some miles to
cast their ballots but were told that
they lived in Missoula county and were
forced to drive back.
This morning the residents of Car
ter sent petition to the legislature
(which asked that the dividing line
between Sanders and Missoula coun-
ties be so changed as to put their
town wholly within one county. The
petition was signed by every resident
of the town.
Representative Derry Of Missoula
gave notice of bill amending the law
creating Sanders county so as to
transfer six sections near Carter, in
GLIDING the town, to Missoula county.
Ninety four names were signed to
protest against House Bill No. 1926,
regulating the protection Of wild game,
which was read to the house this
morning. The protest recites that the
signers are in favor of the protection
of game, but object to that portion of
the bill including sage hens, grouse and
such birds in the permanent closed
season for game. The protest was re-
ferred to the fish and game COM
mittee.
Two bills were read for the third
time and passed this morning.
