to the former bill that it did not pro- vide for making the funds available soon enough for the purposes of the r schools.
 The Colter district irrigation bill was under consideration and was booked for final passage before night 1 but in the afternoon it was sent to the committee with instructions to strike out one provision which in the opinion of most of the members con- traVened both the enabling act and the constitution.
 It provided that funds from the sale of the state lands should be in- vested in irrigation bonds while the enabling act, and the constitution in the same language direct the state treasurer to invest the proceeds of the sale of lands in interest bearing securities which shall receive the ap- prOval of the governor and the sec retary of state. It was held that this provision of the bill deprived the gov ernor and the secretary of the dis erection vested in them by the con- slitution.
 Another objection was offered to the bill There is a provision that districts may be formed only with the consent of the owners of a majority of the area of land lying within the proposed districts. It appeared that the first application of a district irri- gation law would be made in Apache and Navajo counties in districts where the Lyman company and the Wood ruff company own a majority of the land that could be irrigated from such a froject as could be established.
 These companies, of course, would not oppose the formation of district but it was thought that the bill would give such majority owners unhealth- ful control over the affairs of the dis trict. That objection of the bill, how ever, was not regarded as insuperable.
 The Work of Today
 The house, notwithstanding it has 8 surcease from the land bill still has plenty of business before it. The senate bill construing the prohibition amendment is on the calendar and it will probably be considered in con- uection with the Powers Drachman bill of the regular session. New berry's county division bill is also on he calendar.
