 The bill providing a $750 appropria- tion for the Pioneer Historical society was passed fifteen to {.
 The house yesterday morning started off with committee reports, several measures being sent to the committee of the WI oie one of the election bills was revised to some extent and recom- mended to go to the expressing com mittee.
 communication from the gover- nor transmitting q letter recommend- ing the protection of fish and game was read and referred to the live stock committee
 A communication relating to the i'm dustrial school was sent to the com mittee on public institutions.
 It was at this point that the adjourn ment resolution came up, MT Graham wanted to know just what it meant and MT. Lynch explained that if was merely advisory-that under its pro- visions the house would make an att E and if 1t did not do so it would simply continue at work That satisfied some of the members; but it did not satisfy all
 Krke Moore said there was no need to adopt the resolution because the house cannot get through by Saturday and he didn't see the need of putting through measure that would be of no effect
 Mir. Hall said the matter should be left open-that the house should not tie it's hands in this way. He called attention to the fact that some import ant matters of legislation remain to be considered, including the passage of primary act and he felt sure nothing would oe accomplished by passing the resolution
 Then MT. Whipple got the floor and turned his intellectual batteries against the newspaper men. The house passed two bills, one re- lating to the publication of decisions of the supreme court and the other re- Iating to the jurisdiction of justices of the peace
 Then the Graham school land bill came up MT. Johnson moved its fn- definite postponement MT. Graham took up the defense of his bill. He said if there is any ona thing in which the people of this state are interested more than another it is l their school system. And he declared this bill touches the very basis of that 1 system by providing for it's support for all time He said he felt sure that ] if the matter were presented to the l electorate the proposition to prohibit 1 the sale of the lands would carry by an enormous majority.
 MT. Hall spoke in opposition to Ora | ham. He said he thought there is nc | necessity for the passage of such bill at this time-that the people are ade- l duatelv protected now. He thought | there should be no legislation until af- | ter the report of the land commission 1 Then, he said. the matter could be sub- mitted to the people at large WheT i they would be prepared to vote intelli- | gently on the subject.
 MT Kerr said he is opposed to the sale of the school lOnds also he op- posed the Graham bill. He believed il would do more harm than good, for he | was afraid if the matter went to 9 vote the proposition to sell would car | ry.
 "There is going to be no general elec- 1 ton this fa1l,' Mir. Kerr said conse- ouentlv there will be nothing to bring the peaple out. There will not be ful vote. And the result will be that al the school 1and lessees will work to get out their friends and there is great danger under such circumstances that
 the people would vote for the sale,
 MT. Barker supported the bill. He said it should be passed so that the Iyrecord would show the legislators had
 done what theye could to protect the l lands.
 The motion to postpone the bill in-
 definitely was lost by the following
 vote:
 Ayes Rabbit, Cooke, Craig, Dren'
