We Deserve the Rebuke.

The Independent has been "called"
gently for an editorial appearing in
our last issue about abolishing the
game board. From the way the edi-
torial was written, our readers might
be lead to believe that the members
received large salaries. This is not
the fact and we hasten to make the
matter clear. The president and vice
president Of the board receive only S.
per day while attending meetings, in
addition to the railroad expenses and
the board meets seven or eight times
a year from one to three days. The
secretary is allowed under the exist
ing law, a salary of 500 month,
and it appears that he we'll earns his
salary. AS far as the Independent is
concerned, we'd vote to let the poor
God-fearing members of the game
board draw their humble stipend in
peace and security.

HOlbein Is In Frisco.

Will E. Holbein, who has charge of
North Dakota's interests at the Pan
ama-Pacifc Exposition at San Fran
cisco, has arrived at his destination
and is already con the job" Mr.. Hol-
bein writes friends in this city that
industrial conditions on the coast are
very bad, except right at San Fran
cisco, where the preparations for the
fair give employment to thousands of
men.
Mr.. Holbein says that the weather
there is not exactly what a North Da-
kotan would expect to find, and that
although the flowers are in bloom and
the grass is green, the cool breezes
from the Pacific make an overcoat a
thing greatly to be desired. He adj
vises his friends here who intend to
visit the fair later, to bring along
something besides a sun-shade in the
way of clothing, even if they make
the trip in July or August.
"Bill' says that things are progress
ing very nicely at the fair grounds and
that North Dakota will have an exhib-
it that will compare favorably with
the other state exhibits. Mr.. Holbein
is born booster and North Dakotans
can trust him to keep the Flickertail
state on the map at all times.

There are fifty farmers in the house

Altho the house passed the bill, out of

what is considered by everybody as
very good work. Last session, more
than 900 bills we're introduced in both
bodies, more than 300 of which became
laws. This year, fully 800 less bills
will be introduced and less number
will be passed than two years ago. No
very big legislative problems have
been considered by either body to date,
a large percentage of the bills being
