ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 1.-THE Ray
the house today by a vote of 81 tc
81, and thus becomes effective. 1t
provides that a delegation of two from
each house visit Washington with a
view to persuading Washington to
make liberal appropriation for the
improvement Of the upper Minnesota
river and the Red River of the North,
and thus prevent their annual over
flowing and devastation of much farm
property. G. A. Johnson and Ray
harrington will make the trip for the
senate, and probably C. A. Spooner
and L. C. Johnson will be appointed
by the speaker.
The house today passed a resolu-
tion calling for adjournment of the
legislature April 6, about two weeks
earlier than the constitutional limit,
and that the last bills be introduced
March 16. The resolution will be
taken UP in the senate early next
week. 1t is doubtful if it passes, as
the legislature has an immense
amount of legislation pending.
Geo. w. Rodenberg of ST. Paul to-
day called up his resolution in the
house for committee OF five to in
vestigate as to tie probability of Du-
luth getting the steel plant that the
steel manufacturing interests prom
ised two years ago. G. A. Congdon,
Duluth iron mine owner, who is a
member of the present house, took
the floor and said that Duluth would
welcome a complete investigation
and that he would lend every assist
ance; that the plant would be estab-
lished at Duluth as promised and that
he was ready to demonstrate this to
any committee. The house took him
at his word, and turned down the
Rodenberg resolution by vote of IS
nays to 81 yeas.
In the senate today S. A. Nelson of
Fillmore introduced Auditor S. G. Ter
sson's bill to create new department
of state lands, minerals and forestry.
1t provides for one man to have charge
of the department, to be elected every
four years, and to receive $4,000
year, with an assistant to receive
$4,000.
1t was privately announced in the
senate today that James J. Hill has
taken a particular interest in the bill
of Senator J. M. Hackney of Hamline
for correspondence course in agri-
culture to be established at the state
agricultural college, and has written
from New York for an interview with
Mr.: Hackney on the subject the end
of this week, when he returns to st.
Paul
In the house today the memorial
resolution was passed asking for
special session Of congress as soon as
possible to revise the tariff Henry
Rine introduced bill which If passed
will materially diminish the income of
Frank A. Day, governors secretary. 1t
provides that every attorney shall be
a notary public on filing $4,000 bond
with the county commissioners, and
his certificate of admission to the bar
with the clerk of the district court and
payment of fee of 81. At present.
