was one forbidding the hunting OF
chicken with dogs. This has about
as much merit as the advice to save
pork by eating ham sandwiches, and
If it becomes a law, about the only
chance a hunter will have to chase
A chicken into a chicken stew will

the senate Is likely to put that
amendment in cold storage.
international Falls will be staked
to its fish hatchery, and F. J. NC
Partlin is as happy as a kid on the
last day Of school. The senate pulled
off an encore to the houses action In
passing the bill, and the governor
will sign it.
The fishery at Red Lake will con-
tinue to do business at the old stand,
which ought to be good news to the
fasheaters of the north land.
Can you imagine the house OF rep
resentatives spending a whole after
noon deciding the width of sleighs ?
Well say you would have to be
pretty good imaginer to 40 so, out
they did that and nothing else. Mem
her after member tossed speeches on
their chests, but when the talk was
all done, and many of the listeners
showed symptoms of the new sleep
ing sickness, the bill widening the
width of sleighs several inches be-
came a law, as the senate had already
passed it. Manufactures and SOUTH
ern farmers patted the bill on the
ears with sledge hammers, but
northern members aided and abetted
by the city legislators put 1t over,
1t doesn't become law until jan
uary first, 1921, and it ought to
make for good winter roads.
Is Billed to Pass. {!
The bill donating more clerk hire
to the auditors of Beltrami and koo-
chiching counties came out the other
day with "to pass" sign pasted on
It, and the only snag in the way Is
that there may be 50 many bills
ahead OF it that 1t may be killed by
the cholorform route. We are WILL
ing to bet the next liberty loan
against the hole In a doughnut that
when April 23rd rattles along at
least five hundred bills will be left
untouched, due to the talking malady
which has seized the legislature by
the ears. However chap named Ed
Rako has his noodle working and
will try to yank this bill from the
debris.
Bemidji, International Falls and
ather cities may have deaf and dumb
classes in their schools II a bill be-
fore the legislature goes through.
It provides state aid of 5000 for each
deaf child, and five or six in a class
would be sufficient to warrant hiring
teacher. The best lobbying OF
the session has been done for 1t by
parents of deaf children who want
the youngsters to have surroundings
while they are being taught, and it
is certain that the bill will pass.
Supporters of the Faribault institu-
sion are moving heaven and earth
and the other place to beat it. but
they have as much chance Of doing

st. Peter. ..- -.--~~

Bad for Drainage Bill.
Dan DeLury OF Walker has Dill

cock system, but it is having a
rougher road to travel than the
roads he seeks to improve by it. The
southern members appear determined
to polish the bill pinker than a
spanked baby, and we fear that they
are going TO be able to do 1t. 1t is
d good bill, but southern members
say it is the old Elwell law parading

after its scalp. ..-., .

Nearly two thousand bills have
