Wouldn't Reconsider Mortgage Bill.
Thompson of Ward yesterday sought
the passage Of a bill by which notice
of mortgage foreclosure shall be pub
lished in the newspaper located near
est to the land involved. The house
had voted the measure down, and
when Thompson sought to have it re-
surrected, Lambert made a point Of
order which prevented the motion
from being put. Mr.. Thompson recit-
ed the fact that the newspapers OF
the state were heartily in favor Of
the measure.
Not q Devils Lake Issue.
In making plea for the bill under
which the first step for the removal
of the asylum for the blind at Bath
gate to Devils Lake was taken, SEN
ator Hyland yesterday declared his be-
lief that 1t was not a question in which
Devils Lake was directly interested,
but one which everybody in the state
must be interested in. because it dir
ectly affects the taxes.
He pointed out that the per capita
cost at Devils Lake was about $400,
while at Bathgate the per capita cost
is about 500, this comparison being
based on the conditions in the insti-
tuition for the deaf and dumb at
Devils Lake. and the school for the
blind at Bathgate.
Senator Cashcl contended that there
were enough constitutional amend
ments being proposed to make the
average voters of the state cross-eyed
If he was to vote on all Of them. He
contended that II anything was to be
done in the way of re-arranging in
stitutions. that it should be done
through a constitutional convention.
Senator e. w. Plain of Cavalier
county also spoke against the removal
plan.
Lets Cheaper Gasoline In.
Under 8. B. 102, proposed for pass
age by Senator Porterfield Of Cass
county. provision is made for the en-
trance to the state of cheaper grade
of gasoline. This grade of gasoline is
proposed for admittance particularly
for use in traction engines, and the oil
is now being sold under an Injunction.
The bill is one which Prof. T.. #.
Ladd seeks to have enacted.

hill has not yet been ended. The

Hanna for his signature, is being

partment under which county otficiala
