Nebraska Legislators Have Host of

REJECT THREE-aUARTER MILLION

CFrom a Staff Correspondent.)

LINCOLN. March IS Special THE
thirty-second Nebraska legislature is now
considering the expenditure Of more than
3s,75O,OOO. The bills which have been
passed and signed by the governor call
FOR t197,1OO and the other millions are
waiting in one house or the other for ap-
prOval fro mthe Legislators OF all the
appropriation bills which were submitted
in the forty days at the beginning Of the
session great number have been indefi-
nitely postponed, but the total amounts
which the house has refused to expend ag-
gregate t76s,sOO, just one-tenth Of the
amounts still 10 be considered.
The appropriations accomplished and
contemplated to be taken from the gem
eral fund aggregate $5,477.577. The
amount of the general fund, however will
be about lA675,OO0 and beyond that
amount there is no chance of going, unless
the levy is raised 70 s mills. The levy
may be raised, this year l mill and the
amount collected then will be about s5,-
35s,546.
This would be beyond the appropriations
ever made by former legislatures by SEbO,-

The biggest single item of expenditure
now passed by the house is the general
salaries bill. which covers the salaries of
state Officers during the next two years

recently disposed OF by the house and
now awaiting final reading to pass, the
maintenance bill, general deficiencies bill
and the miscellaneous claims bill amount
to S2.7O7.7S0

specified amounts the house has been dis

total up nearly ,S4,O0O,00O more One Of
these. the i-mill levy for the state uni

estimates, to about 3741.s4s. has passed.

WANTS GAS
4 PRESSURE
RESTRICTED

M Oklahoma City, Dec. l9-With the
hope OF checking the drain on the
oklahoma gas fields Attorney General
West is preparing to take an appeal
to the United States supreme court
from the action OF Federal Judge
Campbell of Oklahoma. in refusing TO
pass upon an application to modify
the order of that court, holding that
the state cannot prohibit the piping
or natural gas out of the state.
The United States supreme court,
when it sustained Judge Campb I'll S
\ decision, passed only upon the right
or the state to prohibit the piping of
gas to other states. The court gave
permission, however, to either side OF
the controversy to file an application
In the United States circuit court for
modification OF the order las apply
ing to other features of the case.
In his appeal Attorney General
West asks the United States supreme
court to pass upon provisions of the
oklahoma law which make it unlaw-
ftIl to pump gas at a higher pressure
than 500 pounds to the square inch,
which provision is intended to pre-
went one producer from draining an
entire gas district
II this feature of the Jaw should
be upheld the attorney general be.
aieyes that the state could restrict
the amount of gas taken out of the
state to a degree which would pre-
serve the fields for few years long
er at least.

FOWLER
RETURNS TO CITY

f. c. Fowler. the "one wheel"
prospector returned today to his
home in Grants Pass after a trip
of some weeks prospecting in the hills
of the Kerby country.
Mr.. Fowler left Grants Pass car
rying his camp outfit on a vehicle
made up of a combination of a wheel,
barrow and bicycle, bicycle wheel,
and attracted much attention the day
he left Grants Pass, and also drew
a crowd around him today on his re-
turn when he stopped In front of
Bishops clothing store Fowler and
his machine showed evidence of hard
wear and tear. The prospector's
shoes were worn and his appearance
generally shows he had covered much
rough country. He declared that as
soon as he could make repairs on his
unique wagon" that he would take
to the hills again. Fowler stated
that his vehicle was practical affair,
and that he trundled it over country
that would worry tough burro, and
that he could handle it In and out of
rocky regions with ease. He said he
was five miles from any trail, pushing
his queer-looking cart wherever he
chose to hunt for the elusive yellow
metal.

THREE PINES.

A recent visitor to this place re-
marked that things did not appear to
be booming in Three Pines. He
guessed the situation exactly, as there
has not been and is not now a boom
here, and 1t is the intention of the
promoters Of the town site and orch
ard tracts to discourage anything of
that kind. A permanent and steady
growth is the desired condition and it
Is the actual situation at this time.
William Rolph, superintendent of
the noted Burrell orchards, will leave
the employ of the company owning
the same and move to the land he has
purchased here. He has hented the
house now occupied by l.. T. Corliss
as hotel and will live there until his
own house on the fruit land is COM
pleted. Mr.. Corliss, who owns the
building, will move to the house on
the land where the brick yard of the
Three Pines Brick company is locat-
ed and give his entire time to the
manufacture of brick. He is a prac-
tical brick maker, having spent some
years in that business In Michigan.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-01-13

year or more after the occurrence of
the incident just related, when the
same detective while rambling about
the city. CHANGED to meet sat well
dressed woman who bore marked
resemblance to. the little milliner. She
turned her head and gave him side
glance as he passed. He kept along
at a considerable distance and turned
just in time to catch sight of her as
she stepped. into Johnson's millinery
establishment. Taking up position
at a point diagonally across the street,
and sheltering himself a little in a
doorway, he was enabled to distin-
gtlish persons as they passed in and
OUT of the shop. While he stood
watching. bright looking boy came
along with a bundle OF newspapers
under his arm. The detective called
him up and bargained with him to
do little piping" for him. When
the suspected woman came out of the
millinery store she was pointed out
to the boy who was told to follow her
and, If possible, trace her to her
home. The boy was promised SIS for
the job if his information proved to
be correct, and he was to meet the
officer later and report. When the
boy came back to the officer he had
followed the woman to a little shop
on Ninth avenue. He said she went
in and took off her bonnet as though
she helOn ped there
The detective reported meeting the
woman who had SO nicely escaped
him and had located her in a small
store on Ninth avenue where there
hung over the door a sign that read
Fine Millinery Work Done Here"
1t was quite reasonable to believe
that the woman was none other than
the naughty little milliner from New
Orleans and that she was then doing
business in New York. Officer Fitz-
patrick of New Orleans was the only
detective on the force that could pos.
itively identify her, but 1t wouldn't
do to bring him for that purpose az
she would be sure to see him first,
and having been put upon her guard
she might fly away.
The idea was to plan ruse for the
purpose Of capturing her with evil
dence to convict. For this purpose
