ton of few in their seats, those
having been delayed in returning to
the capitol because of the disrupted
train service.

matter of arranging his committee.
that the task of apportioning the work
might be completed in time.
The announcement of the speaker
today shows that Grand Forks county
delegates have Jared we'll. An i'm
portant Craftsmanship coming to the
county is that of the judiciary COM

Skulason of the Sixth district. The
game and fish committee is headed by
q Grand Forks man, G. A. Hale of the
Seventh district, while Ferd Lucke of
the Fifth district gets the chairman
ship of the drainage committee.

places, being put on the mileage and
per diem, railroads, appropriations,
election and apportionment commit

ship of the judiciary, is on the apv
preparations, rules and public health
committees. c. A. Hale, besides the
craftsmanship of the game and fish
committee goes on to the very impor-
tant state affairs committee as we'll
as the military affairs committee.

work OH the education, municipal cor
poration, public health and warehouse
and grain grading committee. while
Gullick Thompson is assigned to the
agriculture, apportionment, live stock
and drainage committees.
In naming the chairman for the
appropriation committee, Speaker Bur-
dick adopted method somewhat diff
ferent from that taken by his predeces-
sors, in that the man named to head
this important committee is taken
from county not the home of any
state institution. s. N. Putnam Of
