At 8 O'Clock the bodies were called

Mertens, Erickson and Morris, of Sphinx,

that of the immigration bureau. While

through with an appropriation OF slI,.

contention was made. 1t brought Out
The only real contest of the S0-day
session. While the opposition to the
measure was presented from the stand
point of economy, it was in reality the
opposition of the inhabitants If the

of the counties which have not reached
their fullest state of development.
Secondary in importance as an issue
before the two houses was the Rich

whether his proposition should go be-
fore the people as an initiative meas
ure or whether the legislature should
embody 1t in law. The senate was in
favor of the latter plan, but the house
rebelled and Mr.. Richards Will have
the opportunity of making a campaign
