Adjournment from ABOUT feOludlS 1
to February I gave the house no little
trouble Yesterday afternoon, and tor.
while it looked as though tie commit
tee of the whole, to which the concur
rent resolution introduced by Mr.. kuhl
of McHenry county was referred, had
become involved in hopeless tangle,
but it finally extracted itself by rising
and making the resolution special or
der for Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Another concurrent resolution intro
duced was by Mr.. Geiger of Pembina
county, in which the members in con-
press from North Dakota are asked to
use their utmost efforts in preventing
the ratification of the Canadian recip-
rocity agreement. This resolution was
referred to the ways and means COM
mittee and probably will be reported
back to the house either Monday or
Tuesday. In his resolution the author
declares that the proposed treaty is one
in which the people of this state have
particular interest, because it removes
the tariff OH the states principal prod
ucts and would place the farmers IN
direct competition with the Canadian
farmers
Consideration of House Bill No. AZ,
defining unfair discrimination, was
brief, although all effort was made to
have the measure referred back to the
committee from which it had been re-
ported. That motion was defeated and
the bill passed its third reading, after
having been slightly amended by in
,o.x:nr IS .,.h hands tho 1oo6 0f rho
several paragraphs.
House Bill No. IS, relating to
charges on public printing, created a
little discussion in the committee of
the whole, but it was recommended out
for passage after the amendments pro-
posed had been adopted.
Another little feature of the after
noon session came when Mr.. HOMES
of Divide county moved that recess
be taken till 10 O'Clock Monday morn
ing, instead of taking All adjournment
till Monday afternoon. The motion to
adjourn prevailed. Arguments in ia
vor of the motion for recess were
made on the ground that the house
calendar had not been cleared and that
there was good plenty Of work to
do.
In the committee of the whole, the
following bills were considered and
recommended for passage:
H. B. No. 76.-Streeter. Relating to
charges on printing.
H. B. No. 76.-Increasing cost of
maintaining patients at asylum for the
insane.
H. B. No. 3G.-Burnett Maintain
ing depots at stations having over $12,-
900 annual business.
H. B. No. 44.-France. Relating to
track from railroad to elevator.
H. B. No. Backwards. Valdat-
ing certain assessments in cities and
villages.
The resolution to adjourn as pro-
posed by Mr.. Kuhl caused the most
unusual feature of the proceedings.
When the motion was presented it was
sent to the committee of the whole for
consideration.
Received by the committee on con-
vening, with Mr.. Johns of Hettinger
county in the chair, the fun started.
Mr.. Kuhl moved that the resolution be
reported favorably. Mr.. Doyle of Fos-
ter was against it, while Mr.. Sorlie of
Traill wanted to change the dates
slightly.
Speaker Hanley declared that the dis
cussion of adjournment was premature
and felt that the house should first
dispose of its work before considering
the question of adjournment Mr.. Jor-
dial wanted to lay the motion on the
table, but failed to carry his motion.
Mr.. Frame then tried to amend, but
he also failed. About that time Mr.
Price of Cass moved that the commit
tee arise, which motion prevailed.
With Speaker Hanley again i'll the
chair, the resolution was made spe-
cial order for Monday afternoon at g
o'clock.
Congressional re-apportionment was
proposed by Geo. HOMES of Divide
county, His bill creates three districts
as follows: First: Cavalier, Pembina,
Walsh, Nelson, Grand Forks, Griggs,
Steele. Trail, Barnes, Cass, Ransom,
Sargent and Ricl,land. Second: RAM
