LEGISLATURE is
GOING SLOWLY
Only Fourteen Bills Reach Gov.
ernor and Members Of Each
House Blame Other.
LITTLE SPIRIT OF UNITY
trrom a STAFF Correspondent. ]

Lincoln, March H.-(Special.)-
Fearful of breaking the speed laws
OF the state, the legislature is going
slowly; in fact, more slowly than any
previous legislature. Whether 1t is
because they know the road ahead OF
them is rocky, full Of bumps and other
distractions, or whether they simply
cannot get the old single-cylinder af-
fair to working right, remains to be
discovered, but, be that as il may, up
totoday but fourteen bills have
reached the governor, while in the
session Of two years ago, which was
considered one Of the slowest in the
history Of the, state, fifty-fve bills had
reached the governor by St. Patricks
day. .
Each House Blames Other.
Some fault is found by members of
one house that bills which have been
passed in their end OF the state house
are held UP in the other end until that
body gets ready to take them up. In
fact, Mr.. Taylor OF the house is rails
ing little hob because bill he intro
duced covering arrangements OF
names on the ballot, which went over
to the senate on the first day OF
March, has not been taken up by that
body. Other members would like to
kick a little, but are fearful that it
might prejudice their bills in the other
body.
Dodging Responsibility.
This condition perhaps is not very
much different than in former sessions
except that II may be a little more so,
but II has been a well known condition
which has existed since the democrats
gained control Of both branches that
that has not been the get-together
spirit which should prevail Il good
legislation is to be enacted. II is a
welI-known fact that one house passes
bills from no other reason than they
want to put the responsibility up to
The other fellows, and already menu
bers of the senate are complaining
that members of the house are beg
ging them to kill bills passed by the
lower body, which had not the sand to
kjll them. Just how true this may be
remains to be discovered, though It
IS an every day sight to see members
OF the house closely in confab with
the senator's in the upper body and
senator's likewise with the members in
he lower body.

over the property Monday morning
with Nine Bourget as chief chef. The
lady has offciated at the Palmer

best possible food well prepared. A.
E. DuBeau will have charge of the

between the Caughren theatre and
the Cafe. When it comes to being a
speed artist CAP is a bear for work.
1t is safe to say that the Cafe will
retain its deserved popularity under
the new management.
The Herald is very glad to announce
in this connection that the retirement
of Mr.. Weisner does not mean that
h will move away from this ocality,
but rather that Joe will devote his
entire time to his extensive farming
interests. For the winter the family
will take up light housekeeping in

potatoes on April 20. On August, "a,
he had dug and marketed 5000
bushels from the land and reseeded
to winter rye. ID He received thettop
price of $1.2O per bushel for his po-
tatoes or a total of $4,000. At the
rate of STA an aefey with seed scost-
ing him $40, he cleared about $3.50
on an acre. Owing to the fact shes
the. potatoes were early, the potato
bugs did not have hardly time to do
any harm and therefore the expense
for paris green was nil. Mr.. Nicker-
son gave three reasons for marketing
early. First, it is easier to dig them
early as the weeds are not 30 thick
and do not interfere with the digger;
second, that the land may be made
ready for fall use earlier; third, that
the prices are higher early in the
season than when the rush begins.

Only six weeks after the death OF
his mother as the result of an auto
mobile accident, little Donald Leo
Vennewitz, youngest son of H. G.
Vennewitz of this city, died at the
home of his grandparents in Brow
erville. The baby was four months
and fourteen days old Although
every possible remedy was tried by
the physicians the little fellow lived
but "a hours after he was taken sick.
Two tragedies, coming as they have

FREIGHT WRECKS FORD.

Failing to see the freight train
which was pulling into the Great
Northern depot about seven o'clock
Monday morning, Steve Halligah, a
farmer living near Sank Ceni-e was
struck. Had it not been that the
freight was moving slowly the acci-
dent would have been much worse. AS
it was, the car was hurled up on the
platform of the depot, which tore
plank away. The Ford then relied
back onto the road. The windshield
was utterly smashed ,one wheel broken
and the running board and all the left
side badly crushed. Mr.. Halligan
was unhurt. He gives the reason
for not noticing the approach OF the
train as owing to the side curtains,
which were up.

Divisional Headquarters; 18th Di-

October 1, 1917.
Those who have visited the Herald
office since it received a picture of
Camp Dodge, can get partial view
of this gigantic training camp. This,
supplemented with the description
which l attempt to give, here gives
one quite a comprehensive idea of it's
Magnitude and the picture it presents.
This cantonment is situated in the
valley of : the Des Moines river,
stretching over 1900 acres of Iowa's
prize farm land. One thousand acres
of growing corn was destroyed in
the building and staff Of army CT
ficers are now figuring how much
. should be paid for lot of imaginary
corn. & 1t wasn't more than three feet
high, when the camp builders cut it
down. Uncle Sam will pay for 1t
however, on the basis of what the
crop would have been had it been
! left to grow. Proprietors of this
y paginary corn cannot agree without
"a good deal of quibbling as to a
medium of settlement, but killing
frost through this section would GER
tainly save the government bunch
of cash, as they figure the yield the
way the weather would affect the ma
~';zation of the crop.

YUBA TRACTOR IN TOWN

A Yuba tractor, one Of the neat
powerful little caterpillar machines
that pull four plows on about gal
Ion of gasoline per acre was one OF
the street shows last week. 1t was
passing thru from the north, going
down to Gibson to stir few hundred
acres right away for the United
States Beet Seed corporation.
The tractor was in charge Of J.
w. Bresock, who said he was going
down to set it to work and teach a
new man how to operate it. He
said the caterpillar parts require
about two gallons of lubricating oil
per day to keep the ball bearings
clean and slick, that the oil used for
this is the cheapest kind, and that
the machines are made at Marysville,
California, and are sold by the Idaho
Falls Auto company at Idaho Falls,

MAD COYOTE FOUND NEAR
THE THOMAS CEMETERY

R. M. Jeppson, who happened to
be motoring thru Thomas last Mon
day evening, encountered a coyote
in the road exhibiting the signs of
the rabies. After trying to kill the
beast with rocks he had to let 1t
escape for lack of some better .wea-
pom. The animal crawled thru a
fence about hal fmile south of the
cemetery and was lost to sight in
sweet clover patch. Finally a
neighboring farmer was reused and
he searched the clover with gun in
hand, but it has not been reported
that he found his quarry.
Mr.. Jeppson thought it best the
vicinity should be put on its guard
by notice of the affair. The beast
may be still at wild in the commun-
ity, and may have bitten domestic
animals.

SUBSTANTIAL RAISE IN PAY

On the first OF July all operators
of the Pocatello exchange OF the
Mountain States Telephone & Tele-

steadily at a rate of 13 per months,
