ASSEMBLY NOW AFTER
GOAT OF NoRcRoss

A favorable report with the recon-
mendation that it be passed was re-
turned yesterday morning in the leg
islature the bill abolishing the com
mission of industry, irrigation and
agriculture by the assembly commit
tee on agriculture. The bill is now
on the general file and may be
reached during the afternoon for
third reading and final passage,
Some surprise was expressed at the
report returned by the committee as
it was practically settled last week
that the report would be unfayorable.
One of the liveliest fights of the
session is scheduled on this bill as 1t
was the ayowed purpose of the demo
Gratis long before the session conyen
ed to abolish this commission. That
the bill will be vetoed in case it is
sent to the governor is considered
certain as the bill creating the com
mission two years ago was an admin
| istration measure.

TWO FEDERAL

NEVADA ASSURED
TELEGRAM FROM WASHINGTON
REPORTS LIKELIHOOD OF
SUCCESS OF BILL

Winnemucca and Fallon are to get
public buildings if legislation started
by Neyada's representatives in the
senate are successful. The following
telegram received here explains the
situation:
Washington, D. c., Feb. 81, 1913.
&c. H. Mcintosh, Chairman Democrat
ie State Central Committee, To
nopah, New.
I'VE have obtained favorable re-
port from committee on public build
ings for federal buildings at Winnie
mucca and Fallon. Bills win no
doubt pass. Are greatly disappointed
that, by reason of precedence Of 9th
er bills and eongested condition of
legislative calendar, will be unable to
obtain public buildings for other
points in Nevada at this session.
Have every reason to believe that
we will succeed at the next session
that takes up such matters.
