Pierre, S. D. The lobby book con-
tlnues to gather a few names as time
goes along, the latest additions be-
ing G. M. Bowers, representing the
Farmers, Grain Dealers Associations:
G. b. Brown, representing the inter-
ests of San Francisco in relation to
the Panama exposition; Geo. p. Will
mart, and A. r. Kent, representing
the order Of Railway Conductors.
Gregory county representatives are
here to get a bill for practical coun-
ty seat removals. When that county
first came into existence it was cover
ed in a few townships down in the
extreme corner of what is now the
whole county, the rest of the terri
tory being Indian reservation. at
that time Fairfax was selected as
temporary county seat. and all efforts
to secure a permanent location at
some of the wv towns near the
center of the country have all failed
on account of the different candidates
fighting each other. What is now
wanted is al enactment which will
prevent any other candidates on a
second trial, than the two in the lead
on the first trial for such perman-
ent organization. This would on the
second election eliminate all confess
tants save the two leaders, and the
question would be brought to a settle
ment.
The saloon issues are becoming
nor and more as the ses-I
sion draws along. The early closing
move is up for action the last of this
month. The anti-treat bill by pro-
prietors started today; a move is on
foot for materially increasing the IL
cense fee to be required of them: and.
other legislation will come floating
along before the session closes,
which will mean that this interest
viii be in a fight for existence before
the close of the session If the meas
ures continues to show up.
HEADLIGHT BILL ONCE
MORE IN LEGISLATURE
Pierre, S. D.-The principal bills
presented in the two houses were the
re-introduction of the electric head
light bill, which went down in the
vote no campaign OF last fall, and an
employers liability act, based on the
federal law On that subject, both be-
ing pushed by railway employees.
Another effort is to be made in
anti-treating legislation providing a
heavy fine for any owner or manager
of a saloon who treats to intoxicants.

demand is made upon the "house to
set 'em up"
