The LEGISLATURE
SENATE PASSES HOUSE BILL AP-
PROPRJATING $4,000 FOR
FOURTH REGIMENT.

Pierre, March 1.-The action of
the senate assures the use OF $4,000
for the private soldiers of the Fourth
South Dakota regiment pm their ar
rival at their home stations, which Is
expected to be within the next ten
days at the farthest. The house
passed this bill several days ago, and
IL had been hanging fire in the SEN
ate for the past week, but was final
ly brought out and passed.
The senate also passed the city
manager bill, approved by the house
a few days ago. The cities of the
state which desire to turn their af-
fairs over to a hired manager will be
given that opportunity after the first
Of next July. The bill makes the city

The attempt i'm the house 10 get
the public utilities bills back ended
in failure, as the house refused to
back the efforts of Blake, head Of
the house railway committee, In get
ting these measures tackled on to a
little one-page bill as an amendment.
AS these bills have been defeated in
both the house and senate, they
probably are nj of the way for this
session. If they could have been
drawn to exempt municipalities
which W their own public utilities
they might have received favor. Rep
re%sentatives from towns with munic-
ipally owned plants were against any
interference with their local affairs.

part in campaigning at any election
was amended In committee to apply

defeat It.
The senate has accepted the house
resolution for a constitutional
amendment 10 allow thirty-year pay
ments for state school lands with
payments at 10 per cen down and
the balance running on long time.
This gives better opportunities for
the purchase OF such lands by the

tailed the plan and set the machinery
in motion which has insured the sup
ply of cans at cost.
The move is one Of the most impor-
tant of the year and it is considered
that it will mean the preserving and
canning OF large quantities Of vegeta-
bles, fruits and food supplies. Those
who want cans will have them at less
chan half the retail selling prices.
As soon as the cans reach the Watt

here, the plans for. securing them will
be made known and those who need
cans can get them. Mrs. Johnson is
giving a great deal OF time just now
to teaching the people Of the county

out that it is not only uncustomary,

gestion that the matter of raising and

by the Boy Scouts of the city, from
