The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1911-03-04

Bismarck, N. D., March 4-In re-
viewing the work of the Twelfth
legislative assembly it must be ad-
mitted that the results accomplished
have been greater and of more far
reaching effect than was anticipated
in the early stages of the work. Leg
islation has been largely along new
lines of thought and, in many respects
it bears little semblance to the work
of previous assemblies in this state.
Practically every department of the
state has been affected in some way or
other by the enactments of the as
sembly that came to close at mid
night Friday.
Far from being a quiet session 1t
has been one of the most strenuous
the state has seen. The injection.
during the last thirty days of the
session, Of the Cowan impeachment
case, has been responsible for the un-
usual interest that has been shown
in the proceedings and the fights re-
sulting from that case have been
without parallel, not even excepting
the strenuous days of the Louisiana
lottery fight. From rumors that have
been heard in Bismarck during the
last few days, coming from all Sec
tions of the state. it is quite evident
that the state has been wrought up
to higher pitch of excitement over
the Cowan case than over any other
matter brought to public attention in
late years and when the trial of the
impeached Judge takes place before
the senate, that same interest will
doubtless be evidenced.
Constructive legislative seems to
have been the keynote throughout.
Party pledges have had a great deal
of bearing upon the work and an
earnest effort was made to redeem
every pledge made to the people be-
fore the last election. AS evidence of
that fact one has only to look to the
passage Of the anti-pass, primary
election amendments, initiative and
referendum, corrupt practices act, in
creased power for the board of rail-
road commissioners and similar
measures to be convinced that the
parties have had a great deal to do
with the work accomplished.
The assembly has made record on
the subject of initiative and referen-
dunn, adjourning last night with four

FUN AND FROL|C
IN THE HOUSE
Usual Scenes of Revelry Mark
Closing Hours Of the
Legislature

Bismarck, N. D., March 4-When
a legislative assembly adjourns, It
does so in no half hearted manner,
and that fact was again evidenced
last night in the capitol building
when, while the two houses were not
engaged in business, the members
in no mean manner.
During the evening there were
about 1000 visitors in the capitol
building and the carnival of fun at
times was decidedly, good. In the
house 1t started about 10:45 II the
clock in the chamber could be taken
as being true. but the near proximity
Of ladder would doubtless serve to
make suspicion rise in the minds of
some. AS matter Of fact, 1t was
shortly after midnight when the
house completed its grind. with only
the work of the conference commit
tees left for approval.
Then,' when the fun started. It was
on in earnest. Bills and journals
were flying in every direction and the
air was at times filled with them.
O'Connor of Grand Forks at one time
assayed to gain recognition at the
hands Of the speaker, but he was
promptly battered down before a
broadside Of bills and journals and,
like many others, sought protection
by putting wire waste paper basket
over his head. Martin of Morton, who
had caused more or less excitement
during the day, wanted to talk, but
the cries Of the crowd drowned him
out and he resumed his seat.
Over in the senate the scenes were
no less interesting and unusual.
Martin Of Billings introduced q new
bill of great Importance. providing
that the revised code Of 1905 and
the session laws of the last three ses-
sions be repealed and that the Ore
gon laws be made applicable to this
state.
The fact that the conference com.
mittee were unable to agree kept

those committees ware turned down.
Finally about 2 O'clock this morn
ing, the senate paszed the east, cen
trail and west strip bill. But hard
ly had the vote bean announced be-
fore there was q reconsideration
and until 3 O'Clock. when the last
conference report was made, there
was little doing In the house, except
the carrying on Of the jollification
while the senate, evidently spurred
on bl the fact that q, party pledge was
for the passage Of q tax commission
bill. re-awakened the sleeping Nestos
measure debated and passed 1t.
Finally, believing that all efforts to
force the house into passing the Da-
Wis bill, which would have created a
northern, southeastern and a south
western district were futile, the SEN
ate decided to pass the senate meas
ure as 1t had been amended by the
house.
At the same moment the house
was endeavoring to clear the decks
of the DISCARD bill, which had been
badly amended by the senate. while
a request was being, made of the SEN

ed by the senate, while a moment
later, came the information of the &C.
tion Of congress.
Time after time during the pro.
gress of the fight, the hands of the
clocks were turned back, and even al
$3.50 o'clock this morning, with the
division question settled, and all
work cleared up, the. hands of the
capitol clocks ranged between II and
IL o'clock. There were long waits
during the night for the last enroll.

the legislature did not adjourn sine
die, but merely recessed until March
%, because OF the Impeachment pro
ceedings, Speaker. Hanley and Presi
dent Burdick did not in reality de-
clare the session concluded until thii
morning at about 10 o'clock wher
they signed the last measures.
Tax Commission Bill.
During the progress Of the las
nights work, the tax commission bill
was carried through to. success. Al
passed the measure allows an appro
priation Of only $4,000, and the bill
does not become effective until Jul!
ii, 1912. The original appropriation
provided was $19,500. In the senat,
the bill which was drawn by Nesto'
Of Ward, was twice killed and twic,
revived, so that it's last stages o
preparation for the signature of tn,
governor were marked with NOR

was that allowing :$25,000. annua

bill originally provided $4,000 an
nuaAy, but that amount was reduces

insurance
While it appeared at one time that
some very drastic insurance legisla-
tion would prevail. it now appears
that such work was not carried on
very extensively, there were, how
ever two very interesting bills on
this subject. One Of these relates to
the insurance statements, provid-
ing that they must be fled by March
i of each year and making it pen
atty for the insurance commissioner
to accept statements after that date,
without subjecting the insurance COM
pany in question to the 800 day
fine, provided by law. It is declared
that, in the past insurance state
ments have been received in the Of
fee without regard as to time and that
this fine or penalty has not been COL
lected. Hereafter the insurance COM
missioner must stamp the date Of re-
ceipt Of statement on such statement.

way by which the river may be
crossed with vehicle for many miles

ure of conducting the dedication of
the dam as a roadway on February
10. with a great deal of pleasure
and very little ceremony. He ran
his automobile across the bridges
and dam up TO Contractor O'Rourke's
house on the hill Then he gave the
contractors and their families a ride
across the structure and declared the
roadway open to everything from
jack rabbit to a traction engine.

He saw that the igloo had but one
inhabitant and that woman, by name
Taipen. He also saw that the lamp
was burning deer fat, instead of seal
oil. and had strip of deer fat on the
trying out stick back of the lamp. He
had been very quiet so the woman did
not know that he was there, and now
he knocked to let her know.
The woman appeared, coming out Of
the "panga, = or hole, into the alley.
She asked him what he was doing
there, why he had come.
Smelling that deer fat made him
very sad, so that he must lie to the
woman, saying that for two long
winters and two long summers he had
not seen or tasted any deer meat, and
that was the reason that he came there.
Taipen babe him enter, and he did
so willingly. After eating as much OF
the choice parts Of the deer as he could
he went to sleep.
When he woke up in the morning
the woman asked him whether or not
he wanted to 60 back to the coast,
if 50 to tell her. Chalagalu said that
he wanted to 60 home. Then Taipen
took his outside, and gave him the end
of a long braid that had it's other end
in a box on her cache to hold. She
told him to take it home with him;
SO he started off. When he had gone
very great way toward the coast
the rope jerked along as he went over
hill and dale, till family it parted, and
10 and behold all along this rope were
deer hanging, and now they scattered
on all sides as far as and farther than
the eye could reach.
And this is the way, so the old men
tell US, that the country became
stocked with deer From that time to
this there have been deer, and Of
course there VIII always be deer.

KETCHIKAN HAS "A r'lhn

By one of those unaccountable freaks
that fire some times plays, the Ketchi
kan saw mill came nearly being wiped
out last week Early in the evening
the flames began to appear on the roof
and had gained considerable Roadway
before being discovered, and before the
fire company could get stream OF water
upon it the entire roof was a mass of
flames. They were speedily conquered,
however by the efficient work of the
Ketchikan fire department under Dale
on the fire, and before the flames did
much damage to the machinery, they
were under control There was consid
cradle danger to the fremen and by
ISLANDERS from falling timber and debris,
and some of the machinery was injured
considerable. Manager Dayl said to the
Sourdough correspondent that he did not
thing that the damage would be great.
He has set about repairing, and the mill
WILL Nc uOIuS lCSu1dA WIN again IL q
few days.
AS near as can be learned the fire
started in a saw dust chute, but how it
managed to come up the chute to the
carriage room and attack the roof is
mystery. The foreman, A. G. Rois,
says that he thought that particular
place to be free from fire.
The mill is being worked over time
and has been for the last six weeks,
attempting to fill orders. The men have
been working fourteen hours day Sun
day included Foreman Rois has been
with the company only about six weeks,
but has made some valuable changes
in the methods Of handling the lumber,
so as to save waste both in time and
material There are at least two months
of work still in sight, before the man
ager hopes to be able to close down for
the winter.

THE SALMON TAX

The salmon "crop" this year will
reach value of about six million dol
lars Out of this the government is
entitled to four cents. Probably dol
lar case would be too much, but it
would be nearer the right figure than
four cents. Undoubtedly the salmon
canneries should contribute a much
larger portion of the taxes of the ter
ritory
