HOUSE SQUABBLES
over RECESS

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 25.-That it
takes the little thirgs to develop oD-
position in the lower branch Of the
state legislature was manifest by the
tsquabbling" that accompanied con-

ing made over motion to take a ten
minutes recess.
Three times the motion to take a
recess was put, and three times II
failed of adoption. On the fourth
Nballot" the nays were Enthusiastically
more emphatic, but Chairman
Hedalen, who was presiding over the
house as a committee of the whole.
hauled on the steam roller which has
heen concealed beneath the speakers S
desk since representative Martin oc-
cupied the chair several days ago, and
declared with q sigh: ooh, the ayes
have it.' The chairman recognized
that not half as much time would be
lost by a ten minutes recess as would
be lost voting upon and killing the
motion for such a recess.
Many Bills are Passed.
The house passed long list of
house bills, but overlooked the senate
calendar again. Nineteen measures
were considered as general orders by
| the committee of the whole, and house
bill No. 326, providing that county

had been made q special order for
business for 3 O'clock, was recon-
mended for indefinite postponements.

paving of 10 blocks on College hnl
and 3 on State street, and this will
be rushed to completion as soon as
