ting spring shooting Of geese woula
aiso open up the shooting of ducks and
other game.
Senator Gilbert OF Cass thought IT
was not only a question for the sports-
men, but that the farmers and farmer
boys should be considered. and they
wanted chance at the geese in the
spring. His plea was the goose is a
migratory bird and that because some
other states did not protect them in
the spring neither should North Da-
kota.
stevens moved that Alfred Eastgate,
representative of the Audubon So
ciety and government custodian of the
preserve at Stump Lake be given per-
mission to address the senate.
Eastgate said that the United States
government had been working for
many years on the proposition of cut
ting out spring shooting and that it
would be a very serious backward step
after having passed such law to take
1t oft the statute books. He said If
hunting Of geese was permitted in
the spring, other birds would be killed.
He referred to the statement that
geese were migratory birds and said
that this was also true of ducks and in
a measure of prairie chickens, but
that 1t was fact which had come UNI
der his observation that the nesting
of ducks and geese in this state had
increased 500 per cent in the past two
years. He dwelt on the value of game
and the necessity for strict conserva-
tion.
Referring to the game preserve bill
he called attention to the area in
cluded and said it was equal to a
strip six miles wide by 1913 miles in
length and asked how it would be
possible to enforce the law within
that territory. In closing, he pleaded
with the senate, If they must kill
something to turn their attention to
S. B. 235.
The amendments proposed by Tai
colt were passed and then Senator
Davis proposed another, which elimi-
mated the clause permitting spring
but only thirteen senators
favored it on a rising vote. The final
vote on the amended bill was 81 to IL,
for it's passage.

HOUSE BUSHES

is now getting down to business
though the efficient efforts of some
of its more energetic leaders who are
anxious to make a good record, and
yesterday eighteen bills were passed.
which is the record for the session
so far.
Outside the senate resolution COM
mending the passage of the Sulloway
bill in congress, relating to pensions,
there was little of interest, the entire
afternoon being given over to the
routine. The house concurred in the
resolution. Mr. Streeter made a brief
explanation of the purpose of the con-
gressional bill.
The Christianson bill to prevent
intermarriage Of insane, feeble minded
persons, was the only one of the ordi-
nary which was passed. The Hawkin-
son measure providing for the serving
OF notices by merchants to creditors
before the sale of entire stock, known
as the bulk stock bill" was defeated
principally through the efforts of Mr..
Stern.
Among the bills reported back from
the house were the normal school board
of control measure and the standard
strength caboose bill, both of which
were acted upon favorably. 1t was the
second appearance of the normal
school BILL as it was rereferred to the
educational committee the day before.

STATE HAIL
INSURANCE

bismarck. n. D., Feb. 1S.-There was
q great deal of debate over s. B. az
which was introduced by Plain and
provides for the creation of a state
nail insurance department. The bin
was finally passed by a vote of 80 TO 2
and the clincher was attached. for
which Senator Gunderson is due large
portion of the credit for his assistance
on the floor.
The bill provides that the depart.
ment be in charge of the commissioner
OF agriculture and labor and that those
desiring insurance shall pay an assess.
ment OF 90 cents per acre and then that
those sustaining loss shall be paid out
of that fund after the expenses of the
department have been paid. 1t does
not call for any appropriation and will
not be an expense to the state in any
way and the taking out of insurance
under the provisions Of the law will

or the state. No one is to be paid more
than So an acre for loss, and the money
In the fund, if there is not enough to
pay the full loss, is to be apportioneCl
among those who have subscribed. It
is the contention of the author that
the department will be quite literally
used by farmers over the entire state
and he expects to see a fund created
in a few years that will positively guar
antee that the losses will be paid in
full even IL there should be so general

Justed, this will remain in the fund
and be carried over from year to year

provision in the bill which makes the

expenses to be incurred by the depart.

eating the adoption Of the majority
report. To Senator Linde belongs the
credit Of pushing it through yesterday,
for he moved that the rules be sus-
pended and the bill placed on its final
passage at once, which prevailed.
There was a great deal Of debate over
the question. and the measure was OPP
posed by Senator Duis, Senator Trim
bic, and Senator Steele Of Renville.
When the role was called, Senator
Steele explained his vote by stating
that he thought the bill was a bad
one and he could not support it. In
order that the members Of the senate
could vote intelligently on the matter
pertaining to newspaper phraseology
which many did not thoroughly under
stand, Norman ID. Black OF Grand
Forks, president of the North Dakota
State Press association, and manager
Of The Grand Forks Evening Times.
was invited to address the senate on
the subject. Mr.. Black stated how the
new bill would work If put into opera
ton and gave a very clear and lucid
explanation of the idea of the results
that will follow the enactment of the
measure. Mr.. Black answered very
satisfactorily all questions which were
asked him by various senators who
did not thoroughly understand the pro-
visions of the bill.
The vote was as follows:
Affirmative-Allen, Baker. Carter,
Cashel, Davis, Duncan, Ellingson.
Ganssle, Garden, Gilbert, Gronyold.

AMONG SENATORS

Bismarck, N. D.. Feb. 1S.-The Tall
cott game bill was another feature
which enltvened the senate session this
AFTERNOON. When the bill, S. b. Gas.
was called Senator Talcott offered
amendments which changed the num-
Der of regular deputy game wardens in
each Of the two districts from three
to five and provided that they NAV be
employed for six months in each wear
instead of four as in the original text
OF the bin and also that the time Of
their. employment shall be at such
time. of the year as may be "designat-
ed by the commission" TaIcott also
explained to the members that the
main changes in the proposed new
game bill were that the commission
should consist of three instead of Ave
members, that the deputy wardens
should be limited to five in each dis
trict, that after Jan. /, 1872 $4,000
should be taken from the funds in the
lands of the commission and set apart
for the maintenance of the fish hatch
cry.
Senator Duis remarked that it SEEM
ed to him there was great deal of al
legged important game legislation at,
every SESSION, called attention to the
fact that the game commission was
now being investigated and that the
committee would probably have
recommendations to make regarding
the law and the enforcement thereof.
He was opposed to the limit placed on
the number of regular deputy wardens
and stated that it was impossible for
the senate to say what number would
be necessary for the proper protection
Of the game. He feared that permit
