HOUSE GOES WRONG ON
TWO IMPORTANT BILLS
DEBATED YESTERDAY
Passes Two-County Bill
and Tables One to Re-
strict Prosecuting Of
ficers to Public Duties.

The House members yesterday made
up for the loafng some of them had
done the day before, the day being one
of the busiest the lower House has
had this session. Committee reports
by the dozen piled in, House and SEN
ate bills were put through their first,
second or third readings-whatever the
case demanded-by patches, and petit
tions were received by the score, the
clerks table being piled foot high
with the accumulated documents of the
day. Between readings by the clerk
and the callings Of the roll, there were
couple of warm debates and some
back and forth talking.
The division of the County of Ha-
waii, according to bill presented by
Kawewehi, was the principal matter of
the morning, a long debate resulting
from report of the Judiciary Com
mittee that the bill ought. to be tabled.
Kawewehi and Kaniho fought long and
hard to save the measure, their main
argument and their only argument be-
ing that there would be money enough
now under the new financial arrange
ments to pay for two sets of county
officers in the Big Island.
There is plenty of money! said
Kaniho, supposed to be quoting FL. P.
Baldwin.
The bill passed second reading in
spite of the recommendation in the re-
port.
The afternoon debate ragged over the
question of allowing elected prosecute
ing officers of the government to en-
gage in private law practise. The
Judiciary Commute presented an ex.
tended brief in favor of letting the
lawyers get all they could, in or out
of Office, and the fight for free trade
was led by Douthitt.
Sheldon, who is in reality the father
of the measure introduced by Alfonso
to make, the Attorney General, the
County Attorneys and their deputies
attend to the business for which they
are chosen, pointed out the evils OF
the present system and the chances fol-
sort of grating on the public that
it presented.
The bill was tabled, however, and
another one was introduced making il
legal for Sheriffs and their deputies
to also engage in private legal prac
tise if they happen to be lawyers.
Election Law introduced
The election law bill numbered 12l
in the Senate, was presented to the
House yesterday as the first matter to
be dealt with. The bill is a formida.
bic looking document, some ffty-odd
pages in length. 1t was gravely re.
eeived and put on one side until the
Senate sends over translated copies.
The Senate gave further proof of its
industry, four other bills being sent
over. One bill was to appropriate
$4,000 to pay a Judgment secured away
back in 1905 in favor of David K
Baker of Maui, the Territory being
sued for trespass by Alatau T. Atkin-
son, Arthur NJ. Brown and Lorrin A.

Consideration of the direct primary
bill consumed the greater portion of
Yesterdays sessions of the Territorial
Senate. Senator Chillingworth, who
introduced the bill in the upper house,
is apparently determined that the
4splatform measure is going to receive
all the consideration that it is entitled
to and despite number of protests
succeeded in having the bill taken up
for serious debate.
A number of those interested in the
fate of direct primary bill were pres
ent Ex-senator Dickey, John Emme-
luth, Assistant Attorney General Whit
ney and A. G.. NJ Robertson assisting
the members of the Senate in the in
depreciation of the measure.
The strongest protest against fur
Their consideration of the bill at the
present time was submitted by Senator
Mccarthy, who insisted that direct
primary bill could not be intelligently
Judged until the Senate knew what
was going to become of Senate Bill
121, the new election law measure just
passed.
Mccarthy denied that he was at
tempting to obstruet the passage of the
direcS primary bill, Senator Chilling
worth maintaining that another post
ponement at this period of the session
would be the same as killing the bill
at once. Senator Mccarthy also OBJ
served that while he favored the theory
of the direct primary he did not have
a very high opinion of the bill as pre-
scented to the Senate,
A. G. NJ. Robertson used the direct
primary law now in force in the State

illegal Liquor Dealers Have Trouble In

Bismarck-Not in the twenty years
Of statewide prohibition has there
been such broad movement against
the illegal dispensation of liquors, for
just now there is hardly county ia
the state thai is not experiencing ofIic-
ial action against the law violators.
Some Of the most notable arrests OF
alleged blind piggers have occurred in
Walsh and Burleigh counties, the for
mer' Of which contributed twenty one
cases while Burleigh had twenty-seven
of the same nature. Stark county's
record of convicting six blind piggera
was very remarkable, while the arrest
OF alleged liquor dispensers in McIn-
'tosh and Logan counties are also Of
particular interest.
The counties in which the creates,

officials in the way Of campaigning
against the liquor traffic are Walsh
Burleigh, Ward, Williams, Ransom
Richland, Mclean, McHenry, Wells
and Pierce counties. In, Cass, Grand

Stutsman and Barnes counties. as well
as a few others, there have also been
recent arrests Of blind piggers, but in
those counties. the situation is not so
remarkable, as the law has been en-
forced rather rigidly there at all times.

Mra Beals has been experimenting

that during the summer he has been
working from ten to thirty men and
has planted 100000 Golden Russfan
willows, which are, being. used sfof fhe
fences. These trees will replace all
the old wooden fences which have been
great expense to the company, and
are far from attractive.
Altogether about forty miles Of trees
have been planted, including those put
in the nursery at Buffalo, where the
company is raising the trees for this
work Fences have been planted from,
Magnolia to Buffalo, from Bracken, to
Oriska and about four miles west of
Sanborn. The trees set out in the
spring have grown from Ave to six
feet during the summer and these will
need little attention other than keeping
them trimmed. 35

Providing shelter for This

FarHo-North Dakota farmers this
year do not have to rush marketing
their grain. This fact, which has been
growing more general from year to
year. In particularly palpable in 1909.
The proof Of 1t is not so much In short
age Of grain going to the seaboard and
mills. az in the amount that Is staying
Ut home.
A well known farmers society
operating in this state has been advis-
ing Its members to hold for q certain
price. Many farmers are associated
with this organization, and many
hundred others are not. What the ex-
tent of its influence may be cannot be
determined at this time. But the farm
ers are holding their grain. Hundreds
of thousands Of bushels are going into
the granaries which dot the prairies Of
North Dakota, and crowded bins and
bulging walls tell the story better than
could otherwise be told, Of what North
Dakota agriculturists think is best to
do with their grain.
This; substantially, is the story told
by travellers since threshing became
general; and it is corroborated by local
papers throughout the state. From the
great northwestern section come in
teresting accounts of the thorough pre-
paration made by farmers whose rela-
lively short residence in North Dakota
has left them hitherto unprepared to
hold their grain had they wished. IN
the newer sections, financial consider
atoms, as we'll as want of granary room
have tended to compel many producers
to market their crops as soon AS they
passed from the threshing machine.
But the onus Of necessity, insofar as
1t has existed, seems not to obtain in
usual measure for the season now on.
Lumber yards have been kept busy
supplying the material for proper hous-
Ing. and already the farm places look
like the front end of prosperity of the
kind that is willing and able to sit
down and wait.
In the eastern section Of the state,
hunters and travelling men also tell
a similar story of what is becoming
of the crop Of 1909. Accounts from
terminal points, showing satisfactory
receipts, are not necessarily discount
ed by the facts above shown. Thresh-
ing weather has been of the best, up
to date; and with the acreage so large
ly increased in many localities, rela-
lively large movement Of grain per
week would be assured. The conditions
that make a good threshing season also
tend. to make a short one; and the
amount Of grain being stored away
may be more apparent at milling cent
ers later on.
The best aspect Of condition Of this
kind is that it represents substantial
prosperity in the state. The question
Of whether grain will Or will not be
higher at some future date is one upon
which authorities would not be agreed,
but the fact that North Dakota farmers
can do as they please with their crops.
embarrassed by pressing obligations,
speaks well for the state and will have
its effect in encouraging further move
ment Of eastern farmers North Dakota
ward next spring.
