PIERRE LAWMAKERS
Brief Resume of Doings of the Legislature
Written for the Chronicle by Its
Pierre Correspondent.

Pierre, S. D., Jan %, l9l7.--By the
action of the house Saturday in passing
the Hale senate bill, which limits the
right of giving bail on appeal after con-
yiction on grand larceny charge, will
give live stock owners in the western
part Of the state relief against the work
of cattle rustlers Who appear to be able
TO get bail after conviction, and continue
! their work about as easily after conyic,
ton as before such action. The bill
was pushed by Hale in the senate and
Buchoz in the house, and they hope
that they have succeeded in securing a
measure which will be effective in its
wor kings
The Evans bill in the senate which
allowed towns to increase the levy
which may be made for town boosting
purposes, was opposed by Urdahl, of
Lake, but his opposition could not over
come the majority for the measure and
it went through.
Guilfoyle made a strong plea against
the proposed committee amendment to
his bill TO admit wives and widows Of
Old soldiers 10 the state Home at Hot
springs The committee change being
that such women shall be admitted to
the home so long as their presence
shall not deprive any veteran Of room
in the home, but the veteran is to have
the right Of way at any time. Just what
the house will do with the bill when it
is up for action is doubtful but they
sustained the amendment, which is one
likely to stir things at the home at any
time ifit is enacted into law.
Labre, of sphinx, has introduced in
the senate bill appropriatinE five
thousand dollars for the expenses of
committee of three to be appointed by
the Governor to investigate the coal de
posts ou the state lands in the north
western part of the state and repOrtupon
the possibilities of state development of
such lands.
The house has passed the bill which
appropriates $1,000 for payment to
owners for horses killed by the state
authorities on account of their being
infected with dourine While most OF

yet what the cost of food and fuel
will be during the coming school
year, and so, for the purpose of being
safe, the rates for board and room in
Ridenbaugh hall have been slightly
increased. 1t is the intention, how
ever, of those in charge so to organize
the women students after the open
ing of college, that the cost will be
reduced as low as possible.
Ridenbaugh hall, the home of the
young women, has been made most at
tractive by the addition of new and
well selected furnishings.

What Field Peas
Will Do in Latah

The season of 1917 has demonstrate
ed beyond question that it pays to
plant peas in northern Idaho-not
alone because the growing of this
crop brings new life to soil that is
depleted of nitrogen, but for the rea-
son as WE'LL that it enables the farm
er to derive a handsome profit from
land that former custom has allowed
to lie fallow and unproductive.
Inspired by the agricultural stations
Of both the University of Idaho and
the Washington State college many
Moscow ranchers have been expert
menting with this crop for the past
two or three years and in the territory
Immediately surrounding Moscow
there was something over $4,000 acres
planted to peas this season with more
than satisfactory results-and this de-
spite the unprecedented lack of mois-
ture.
Mix Makes Safe Hit

average of IS bushels to the acre. This
