new OIL INSPECTION BILL
TO REPLACE OLD Law
State Bonding Law Representatives, May Be Registered
Telephones May Come Under Railroad
Commissioners Control.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 25.-Two bills
of more than ordinary interest and i'm
portance were given the endorsement
of the senate Saturday when the new
oil inspection bill and the state bond
ing department bills were both passed
with but little opposition.
The New Oil Inspection Bill.
Senator Kretschmar introduced the
new oil inspection bill which was pre-
pared after a conference between Prof.
Ladd of the Agricultural College, Prof.
Abbott of the University, Governor
Hanna, State Oil Inspector Hanna and
Representatives of the different oil
companies doing business in the state
and it is understood to be satisfactory
to all concerned. 1t reduces the in.
spection fee from Csc barrel to seven
and a half cents. 1t will be remem-
bered that under the old law which
was held to be unconstitutional by a
recent decision of the supreme court
that the state secured revenue Of
about 100000 per year. The new law
is so drawn that the fees for inspec-
ton will just about cover the cost of
that inspection, it being the conisca-
tory part of the proposition that en-
tered largely into the decision of the
supreme court.

Local Five Loses to Concor-
dias by Score Of 80 to SO
After Hard Combat.
WAHPETON INDIANS
BOOKED FOR FEB. z

In one of the hardest fought games
ever staged on local floor, the Nor
NAL ball tossers lost to the strong Con-
cordia aggregation. Until the last five
minutes of play it looked as if the To-
Gals had the game on ice, but the WISH
tors proved that they had greater en-
durance and slowly crept upon the To-
Gals finally winning by one point.
During the first half the locals had
the visitors completely outclassed, out
scoring them 20-13.
| After three minutes of play in the
second half Wickstrom collided with
one of the Concordia huskies and was
so severely injured that he had to be,
taken from the game. This seemed
to take all the pep out of the locals
and from then on it was an uphill
fight for them. Wickstrom is val
liable man in working the ball up the
floor, and his loss to the team was a.
severe one.
Good passing and team work was {.
feature of both teams throughout the
entire game. The game was also
characterized by clean playing on the
part of both teams.
For the visitors Nesbet aid Weum
played the best games, they are both
fast and excellent basket shooters.
The local honors were evenly divid-
ed each man starring at his position.
Davidson is rapidly rounding into his
old time form. Both Smith and Per-
sonius played wonderful defensive
games, breaking up most of the plays
in their end of the floor, most of the
visitors scoring was done from the
middle of the floor which is no fault
of the guards. Markuson had Door
luck but Gagged the globule from some
difficult angles. 49,.
Nothing but hard work is in store
for every member of the squad during
the coming week and it is expected
that the team will be in championship
form before the next game.
The teams lined up as follows:
Normal Positions Concordia
MarkusOn ......L. F. Nesbit
Wickstrom $50. R. F. Il. Melchoir
Smith
II. Davidson ......C. .....~.. r. Lavik
Smith .........R. G.. .Weune

State Bonding Bill.

State Bonding Bill.
Even though the supreme court de.
clared the bonding department bill
passed by the last legislature uncon-
stitutiOnal a new bill was passed in
the senate Saturday with only Allen,
Davis, Hughes, McFadden and Porter
field voting against it. 1t is claimed
that the features not meeting with the
approval of the supreme court have
been eliminated in the present bill
and that it will stand fire. If it passes
the house and is signed by the gov
ernor there is no doubt but that it will
be put up to the supreme court again
as soon as a test case can be brought.
The bill is the result of what the mem
bers OF the legislature claim are ex-
orbitant charges on the part of the
bonding companies who are doing
business in the state.
The new bill provides that county,
city, village, township and school dis
trict officers may be bonded by the
state. It does not provide however
that officers who are refused bonds by
the state cannot secure bonds else
where. The bill provides that the de.
partment shall be under the direction
of the insurance commissioner and
that he shall be allowed a deputy for
this department at salary of $1,000
per year and stenographer at 5000
per year. 1t is also provided that un-
der no condition is the expense of
running the department to exceed
$4,000 per year. The bill will not he

officers have their bonds for two years
and that will give time to get the de-
partment organized before it is need
