Final Session Held.

Topeka-With the actual time thir-
teen hours after the time set for ceas-
ing of business by the legislature, but
with the house and senate clocks
showing it to be still before o'clock
in the morning. the legislature finally
agreed on the three appropriation bills
hanging fire and passed them. The
legislature was in session for thirteen
consecutive hours.
The house first passed the confer
ence reports and then waited on the
senate While waiting the members
sang, and when the message from the
senate arrived everyone began sing
ing Goodbye, Joe Dolley," and the
actual work of the session was ended.
All of the appropriation bills were
held up until the one final roll call
which put the three bills through in
the omnibus.
The original school bill was the one
the fight started on. AS passed by the
senate, the appropriations were $780,
900 greater for two years than as
passed by the house. The conferees
worked hard and finally reduced this
difference to $1S,500, $4,000 more
than the house wanted to give to the
Pittsburg Manual Training Normal
school branch of the State Normal.
The total amount appropriated by
the 1909 session of the legislature
just closed is $7,OO2, 1896. This is
about 100000 less than appropriated
by the 1907 SESSION. This includes
$4,000 earned by the penitentiary
Irvine plant and turned back into the
revolving fund. 1t does not include
the 100000 appropriated from the
fund allowed by congress for a G. A.
r. memorial building in Topeka. Two
million four hundred and seventy
seven thousand, seven hundred and
twenty-five dollars and eighty seven
cents was given to state educational
institutions and $15O,O00 for private
charities.

WHAT / FORMER OREGON

ERn CANADA.

Albert Nelson left Benton Co. Ore
gen, in Sept, 1904, for the great
Canadian prairies. To quote from his
letter: 81 was greatly surprised to
find such an immense stretch Of rich
virgin prairie still almost unoccupied
in Ehe very heart of North America
The splendid crops Of oats, wheat, bar
ley, potatoes and hay I beheld in the
settlements made me very eager for a
piece of this rich soil, and soon To-
Gated in the Goose Lake country. We
have here q great stretch of the rich,
deep clay loan Of the Saskatchewan
soil heavy and hard to break, but
particularly well adapted for the re-
tention Of moisture and production OF
the bright No. 1 hard wheat, and
great crops Of oats, barley, fax and po-
tatoes. I had 60 bushels Of oats,
weighing al ID. to the bushel, per
acre. Some Of my neighbors had still
greater yields. Wheat yielded from 90
to 80 bushels per acre. We have all
done well here, and could name
many Americans who came here with
means to go ahead, who have done
big already. For homesteads one has
TO go 1urtner west, but the best prai-
RE can be bought here for from $1,000
to $1,000 per acre. The climate is
dry and healthy. This is the regular
Saskatchewan fall weather = frosty
nights. and bright, sunny days-ideal
for threshing and hauling out OF
wheat. The trails are dusty, as thou
sands Of wheat teams are moving
towards the elevators.
1.-THE sight of it makes one stop and
wonder what it will be in few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the
exception here. Snow generally falls
in December and goes OF in March.
1t sometimes gets very cold, but the
Saskatchewan farmer does not fear
the cold. Winter is his season of
rest. The first or second crop he
builds comfortable house for him
self, and warm stables for his horses.
He need not, like some, be poking
about in the mud all winter attending
a few beasts for livelihood"

Topeka Gets Memorial Building.

The legislature has passed a bill
providing for the erection of a mem
orial building facing the state house
grounds. 1t is to cost 100000. and
the money is to come out of the funds
which the state will soon receive from
the federal government on old war
claims The memorial building will
be used as a home for the G. A. r.
department, the Historical Society ard
departments of that kind now located
in the state house.

$780, 900 for State Normal.

The senate appropriation bill for the
state normal at Emporia has passed
the house. Veatch of Washington
made fight on the $4,000 appropria-
ton for more land for the institution,
and Cunningham objected to the ap-
preparation for gymnasium apparatus.
Both these amendments failed. The
appropriation totals S45O,000 for two
years.
The appropriation bill for Quindaro
college for SCI 900 passed with a rush,
no amendments being offered.

But It sometimes IL BAD for the
Painting.

When property-owner knows moth
ing about paint it is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the paint
er. 1t would not be so If the property
owner would always hire a skilled
PAINTER, and then really leave every
thing to him. But the HORSEPOWER so
Of these things.
The skilled painter in every commu-
nifty has some OF the most incompetent
competitors that ever Vexed a consci-
entious workman or contractor. and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter Is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as SO
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going to have that painter
mess around my house a month" the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost OF lot OF wasted painting
money.
If the painter stays away a few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: ''That painters
neg1ecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones work. I'won't
stand it."
What chance does painter have to do
good work for man who is continually
nagging at him and otherwise handi-
Gaping him without meaning it, of
course)? A poor job is the inevitable
result Of such interference.
Poor painting costs the houseowner
money-don't forget that. 1t might
pay you to get the practical paint
book, painting specifications and in
strument for detecting paint adul-
terants, which National Lead Co. are
offering under the title of House
Owners Painting Outfit No. 40. Ad-

Governor Stubs is undecided as to
whether he will sign or veto the Case
Avery bill to exempt mortgages from
taxation and provide for a registra-
ton fee for them. Speaker Dolley
said this is one of the best laws pass
ed by the legislature. He says it will
raise more revenue from mortgages
than the state now receives in the
shape of taxes from mortgages; that
it gives the Kansas money lender an
equal show with outside money lend
ers, and that it will catch all mort
cages alike.
Opponents of the bill claim that it
simply gives the money lender the
best of it by exempting his mortgages
from taxation; that the lender will
make the borrower pay the registra-
ton fee; that it may keep eastern
money out of the state and retard the
states development.

fact that Senator Carey had left the

tor Carey discovered that about thirty
other bills were advanced on the same
sort of motions as he made on the
rate bill. When these measures came
he made the same objection to them
that the other senators made to his
bill. He had the senate at his feet
