SHORT SESSION

bismarck. N. D., Jan. 1S.-In the
house of representatives there were
again large number OF bills intro
duced Friday and the business was
again disposed OF with dispatch, the
house adiourning for the day ait just
a little before 8 o'clock.
The Richland county delegation
offered a resolution of respect to the
late Major Purdon of Wahpeton who
was a former member OF the house
and who died Friday morning.
There was short tilt over whether
the house and senate should be sent
to the various farmers clubs Of the
state. Sorlie of Trail1 thought that the
clubs did not meet often enough to-
make the publications Of any value
TO them and finally the resolution
WAS passed with the amendment that
the papers would be sent only to
those clubs making request. either di
rect or through a member of the
house or senate. When the matter
was put to a vote there were no
nays.
The long looked for. anti cigarette
bill was offered in the house yes
terday and was referred to the COM
rnittee on temperance. One of the
bills offered during the day was for
an annual appropriation Of $4,000
for the state fair which is held alter
nateiy at Grand Forks and Fargo.
Another bill OF interest to the entire
state Is one that would raise the levy
to secure funds for the payment of
gopher bounty from one half min to
one mill on all real estate in county
making levy.
Many committee meetings we're an
nou1fced for last evening, but On ac-
count Of the fact that the printers
printed bills to either house the com
nittee Is held up in their work TO a
certain extent. 1t is expected this
trouble will be overcome in the near
future.
