Northern Pacific extensions in this
section was in the city this week and
reports increased activity along rail
road lines for the year.
Last week the contract was let for
laying thirty miles Of steel west OF

the successful bidders, the same con-
Germ which has been employed in the

working out of Beach and 1t is ex.
pected that line will be built south

S. B. No. 132-By Mr.. Mudgett was
another bill that had been delayed of
passage. This bill makes provision
for clerk hire for register of deeds
when the special fund is exhausted.
Senator diversion offered an amend
ment that Would increase the amount
of clerk hire specified in the bill, but
one senator took exception. Then
diversion and Mudgett went over to
his seat to more fully explain the
particulars of the bill. First Assist
ant Secretary Wacker, who was reg
lister of deeds himself in Mclean
county, and deputy before that
knew what the bill meant and he left
his desk to help out with the argu-
ment with Mr.. Gibbons, but even
though Mr.. Overson's amendment pre-
vailed Senator Gibbons voted against
the bill as did Senators Kretschmar
and Plain. The bill passed as
amended, however, with 46 ayes, 3
nays and 1 absent.
Senator McBride's bill, No. 105,
making fidelity insurance companies
responsible for all acts of public Off
Gals whom they have bonded, passed
without any discussion or opposition,
the vote being 40 ayes to 1 absent.
There was some discussion raised
by Senator Gilbert when Senator
Paine's bill Isl, legalizing the execu-
ton and acknowledgement of certain
deeds and mortgages and making the
same or certified copies admissible in
evidence, was brought up, but with
Senator Paines explanation the bill
passed wit honly one voting no and
one absent That completed all the
senate bills that were up for consid-
GRAFTON and the senate proceeded to
dispose of some of the measures that
had come across from the lower
branch.
House Bill No. 20 Passed.
The only house bill to succeed in
passing the senate was H. B. 20. AS
matter of fact it was the only house
bill on the calendar for passage. This
bill validates certain execution sales,
and has been amended by the senate
committee by the emergency clause
being extracted. Senator Hookway
was not satisfied with the time limit
set in the bill, and even though Sena-
tor diversion called attention to the
fact that with the emergency removed
it would be fully a year before the
bill could become operative, it did not
suffice, and Mr.. Hookway's motion to
place the time limit at one year from
next July prevailed. Then on roll call
the measure passed by a vote Of 40
ayes to absent and not voting.
