of the house, for the reason that GER

secretary's Office had not been given
to that paper as requested. The sec.

on both these points the report was
grossly unjust and intended only to
injure him and further says that no

where were examined, thus proving
that the work of the committee was
farce and conceived in spirit Of
revenge. Ployhar has secured the
adoption in the house of resolution
authorizing the committee ito con-
tinue its work for 80 days after the
close OF the session but there is
question as to the legitimacy of the
resolution.
Skulason's child labor bill passed
the senate, also the military code,
and the pure milk bill.
The boiler inspection bill prepared
by Prof. Ladd and endorsed by ex-
perts passed both houses and it is
said to be one of the best measures
passed by any state on that subject.
The senate ordered expunged GER
tain names from the penitentiary in
vestigation committees report on
the grounds that they we're men,
toned for reasons too triffling and
insignificant to warrant it. The
names expunged were members OF
ex-Warden Boucher's family, with
the exception of himself, former

Moulder Of Fargo, also Col. G. B.
Little of Bismarck. Alex Mckenzie,
Kupitz Gusneer, and others, resi-
dents OF Bismarck, mentioned In con-
nection with the purchases of brick,
at what was an alleged discrimin-
alton in cost. The trustees them
selves fixed the price Of the brick
sold at s8. 90 per 1000: The occasion
was after the big fire in Bismarck,
and the N. p. road carried in mater
ial, freight free, for rebuilding. The
pen trustees also reduced the price of
brick 81 per Thousand for the same
reason.
The legislature raised the salary OF
the state officials increasing the gov
ernor's salary $500 making it now
s45OO, all other state officers, except
railroad commissioners were raised
$3.50, making their pay s2,75o. The
railroad commissioners we're raised
S40c, the secretary of that commits
sion, will get $1,000.
A senate steering committee was
necessary to select from the great
mass of unpassed bills from both
houses, those important or necessary
measures which required action at
this time.
There we're eulogies offered and
various tokens of esteem granted
during the last hours of the senate
and house. Lieut.. Gov. Lewis was
praised for his impartial rulings In
the chair, and was presented by the
senators with . handsome picture OF
the members and beautiful chair.
Landlord Tatley of the Grand Pa.
cific hotel gave fine banquet to his

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The heavy
and general advance in the freight
rates on lemons announced by the
transcontinental railroads will become
effective on November Is.
The tariffs were filed with the in
terstate commerce commission by the
transcontinental freight bureau, which
represents the transcontinental lines,
and increase the present rate Is cents
hundred pounds.
Under the present freight arrange
ments rates on lemons from California
to eastern points are Is cents hun
dred pounds less than the rates on
oranges, grape fruit, lines and citrus
fruit
The present freight concession on
lemons was made by the transconti-
mental lines because of a disposition
on the part of the Pacific coast fruit
growers to relinqUish the lemon
market.
They felt that in competition with
lemons from European and West In
dian points they could not compete
successfully with foreign growers at
the freight rates then prevailing.
While the tariffs now filed directly
affect the rates on lemons from Pa
cific coast points to North Dakota,
South Dakota and Minnesota, it is the
announced intention of the transcon-
tinental carriers to make a similar adj
vance to all points east to which
freight rates on lemons are quoted and
filed with the commission.

Visit of Zia Pasha Expected to Result
in Many Opportunities for
Capitalists of United
States

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-While Ameri-
can financiers will not be permitted 10
participate in the coming $35,00O,OOO
Turkish loan, the visit of the Zia
Pasha, as a special envoy from the new
sultan to the Hudson-Fulton celebra-
tion, will result in the opening of a
vast field in Turkey for American cap
ital.
At a banquet by bankers and railroad
men in this city Zia Pasha said that
he would make it his personal business
to see that American bids for railroads
and electric development concessions
in Turkey are favorably considered.
Under the new order of things in the
Ottoman empire, he said, the property
rights are fully protected, and foreign
capital invested in the empire is en-
tirely safe.
Moreover he said, American capital
lists in seeking investment in Turkey
would not be suspected of having any
political ambitions back of their in
vestments. and that for this reason
Americans are likely to be favored by
the Turkish government.
