STATE LEGISLATURE
TO ADJOURN APRIL l9

St. Paul, March 1.-THE 1917
Minnesota legislature must adjourn
sine die on April 10, after formally
approving the official journal of the
previous day, according to a ruling
by Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith
submitted to Oscar Arneson, clerk Of
the House of Representatives.
Under the constitution, according
to the attorney generals ruling,
April 1S is the last day on which bills
can be passed.
The flood of new bills which has
been pouring into the legislative cof-
fers for the past ten weeks will be
curbed from now on. The House
rules, it was announced today, pro-
vide that no bills can be introduced
after tomorrow without suspension
of the rules by a two-thirds vote. The
constitution would limit introduction
of bills to March 26, or 20 legisla-
tive days previous to final adjourn
ment.

"WARM" BASKETBALL
GAME SATURDAY NIGHT

There's going to be a basketball
game at the armory Saturday night
that should be about the best Of the
season, when the "Independents'
from Stephen come to play the Big
Bemidg team, and the reasons for
this are q follows:
About three weeks ago, Manager
Jacobson took tho Big Bemidg team
up to Thief River Falls and were
defeated in the cracker-box playing
hall. In the hall were wooden beams
that hung 90 low that "three cush-
ion" shots for the basket we're neces-
sary and the locals being used to a
regulation door were unaccustomed
to the new stunt. In fact, the beams
were 80 low that when bill" Berri-
gan attempted to get into action he
would hit the ceiling in his famous
jumps for the ball.
Manager Jacobson attempted to
get the Thief River Falls quintet to
come here for a return game but no
argument would pull the team here
for the courtesy of return.
Last Saturday the Stephen "1nde-
pendents" defeated Thier River Falls
by II to IA. Thief River Falls beat
Bemidji 19 to II.
Hence, a corking good game should
be the result here and the locals will
attempt to "c1ean" the visitors to
"show up" the Falls aggregation.
