Representative Garden Would Esiab-

Bismarck special in Grand
Forks Herald: Among the bills
introduced in the house today
was one by Representative
Garden of Bottineau county,
providing for a fish hatchery at
Lake Metigoshe, in the Turtle
mountains. Mr.. Gardens plan
provides for a board of trustees,
similar to trustees of other state
institutions and the board is
authorized to employ compe-
tent superintendent to take
charge of the work. The bill
carries an appropriation of $1,000
for the erection of the hatchery
and $4,000 annually for main
tenance.
Mr.. Garden urges that the
waters of Lake Metigoshe are
cool, pure and perfectly adapted
for the purpose. Lake Metigo-
she is about twelve miles long
and has fully seventy miles of
shore line. It is rapidly becom-
ing one of the most popular
summer resorts in the north
west. There are about a dozen
launches and forty or fifty other
craft on the water and from
five to eight hundred campers
along the shore every summer.
There are numerous other small
lakes also in the vicinity which
may be used as adjuncts in fish
propagation.
. Senator Macarthur has intro
duced measure providing for
a state forest fire warden. His
bill also provides that the
] chairman of the board of sup
ervisors in every organized
township in which the forest
land is 25 per cent of the total,
shall be a deputy fire warden
and shall be paid So per day
for the time he is actually en-
ployed in such work.
8 Mr.. McArthur has also draft
ed a bill designed to prohibit
and provide penalty for scat
tering broken bottles and other
enemies of automobile, bicycle
and vehicle tires along high
ways. Ordinances passed by
numerous cities and towns in
this direction have served to
diminish this annoyance in
towns, but individuals who ap-
parently have grudge against
the buzz wagons delight in
breaking their whisky bottles
and other glassware in the
road, and Mr.. Macarthur be-
lieves that his bill if it becomes
a law and is duly enforced will
soon result in a lessening of
this source of annoyance and
expense. aN
Macarthur also has a bill re-
pealing the druggist permit law
and providing that Intoxicating
liquors may not be sold except
upon the prescription of a
physician, and that there shall
be but one sale upon each pre-
scription. He has also bill
defining intoxicating liquors to
be All spirituous, malt, vim
Gus, fermented liquor, or any
mixture, by whatsoever name
called containing any percent
age of alcohol, or which shall
contain occulus, indicus, cop
peras, opium, cayenne pepper.
picric acid, Indian hemp,
strychnine, tobacco, darnal
seed, extract of logwood, salts
of zinc, copper or lead, alum or
any of its compounds, nethyl
alcohol, or any of the deriva-
tions, amyl alcohol, or any ex-
tract or compound of any of the
above ingredients, which are
made,-sold or offered for sale
as a bevera ge. :
Another bill drafted by Nc
Arthur provides that any per
son In charge or any threSh1ng
machine or bundle wagon shall
thoroughly sweep out and
sweep such machine and bundle
wagon Immediately after
threshing at each place and
before removing such machine
or wagon to another place.
This bill is designed to prevent
the scattering Of foul seeds in
threshing operations in moving
from one point to another.
Representative Johnson has
introduced bill to amend sec
ton 687 Of the revised codes of
1905. The measure provides
that officers Of election shall be
paid the sum Of twenty five
cents for each and every hour
they serve as such election of,
