For Primary.


90 into effect the moment It's
signed bv Governor Bryne, which
will probably be very soon, and the
bill carries the emergency clues,
the senate having passed the bill
without that and the house having
added a presidential preferential
clause and long emergency clause
with other amendments.
A conference committe had to be
appointed to adjust the senate and
house views, and the committee
from both bodies worked most of
Friday on the conference, finally
reporting that the house would re
cede from its amendment with the
special repeal clause of the persent
bill i'll case the Richard S law is re
vived, and from that protion of the
presidential preference clause pro-
viding for payment for the ma
tlonal delegates, and from the spe-
cial detailed emergency clause, us
ing palmer emergent Y instead.
Primary May %.
With the announcements ot these
concessions on the part of the house
the senate adopted the bill and it
now stands as a primary for the
twenty third OF May this year with
the presidential preference to be eN-
pressed ny the people, included
The session, cost 81 427. 40.
Provide Internal Improvements
The legislature also passed a con
stitutional amendment providing
for internal improvements. inciud-
ing developments of coal lands and
provision for good roads, passing
this resolution now will place it on
the ballot of this fall, and if it pas
ses then the act will provide that
upon two thirds vote of the legisla-
ture aid can secured for these pro-

1t is said by some that unless
the fish in Lake Traverse get air
before long large numbers will
suffocate. People living adjacent
to the lake should make it a point
to cut as many holes in the ice as
possible i'll order to afford some
relief. A little organized effort
could relieve the situation much in
short time. There is so much
snow OH the lakes that it has caused
the ice to settle and all over the
state comes the report that fish are
diving from suifocation. The
Sisseton Standard has a column in
which are published the announce
nents of candidates for Office in
I. that county. 1t is headed An
nouncements- s-Ten Bucks We
counted just thirteen i'll last week S
issue which at ten a throw helps
considerable. The editor of that
paper could be justified i'll adopt
ing as his slogan Come on boys
the more the merrier.
The latest rumor in regard tc
train service OH this branch is
that there is a possibility of ali
electric train being run between
here and Morris. A car could be
equipped with storage battery
which could be charged" at each
end of the line, and run at great
deal less expense than by steam
Trips could be made both in the
day and night time as is now being
applied for. We understand the
project has been approved by the
superintendent of this division anc
it is now i'll the hands of the high
er officials. While we are rot ii
touch with the full details of tn,
matter, the project seems feasible
and it looks as though the service
could be greatly improved. W.
await more particulars. Brown
