LOCAL OPTION LAW FRAMED

This morning in the Assem- bly,
representative Merritt of Churchill
County, introduced Bill No. 70,
the local option measure. The
measure provides for the settle
ment of the liquor question in all
counties and communities by a vote,
or local option. The bill was
ordered to the committee on public
morals.
A bill was introduced some day.
ago by .Assemblyman Coppernoll
to place all saloons on high licenses.
Between the two measures there
will be some lively legislation.
Every session a local option
measure is Introduced in the legis-
lature. Each session it has received
it's share of support but up to the
present time it has not been. con-
sidered seriously. A number of
the members favor the local option
program. while others favor high
license During the ncxtfcw days
both sides of this state question
will be given a chance to air their
views. Appeal.

In place of the legal practi- toner the pleader is native boy who ' assigned to one or the other of the aides and is given a bamboo tube in which Is sealed the pleading of the person or party whom he represents. When all is ready two stakes are driven into tie bed of stream. and by aid of bamboo pole the heads or the two boys aie submerged at ths same time. By grasping the stakes they are enabled to remain under wa ter for quite awhile after their natural Inclination would bring them to the surface. but at last one of them gives in and, releasin. his hold of the stake, comes to the air. He is immediately seized. and tue tube he holds is cast aside. The otLer lad is led ashore, his tube opened. and the document con. tained therein stands as the decision in the case.
