jected, and house bill No. 6. by Pope,

little interest In the matter,
On rising vote the question Of
adopting the upfavorable committee re.
port was apparently about four TO one
In favor of the report; which killed the
measure.

passage, with few technical amend
ments, by the committee on agricul.
ture The amendments were made and

of the agricultural resources of the
Uintah basin and the encouragement
of agricultural development by the
