The weeks before the end of the

Executive has had relatively little
success thus far in getting accom-

rattlesnakes for the snake ceremonies

ed out the rattlers who began to drop
from ceiling and emerge from floor and
the painters each grabbed rafter

charmed the slow moving serpents
into flour sack and carried them off
for storage elsewhere.

Everybody is helping select the

with the exception of the treasurer's
quarters is to be repapered, metal
ceilings placed throughout, and the

condition in the assessors office is to
be relieved at the same time. Mrs.
Charlotte Acker's office was moved on
Wednesday to room 3, Masonic build
ing, vacated on the first of the year
by George H. Crosby Jr., as her work
is the only kind that can be carried

A door will be cut between her old
office and the main office Of the as
SCISSOR. Mr.. Beeson will occupy the
former office of the county superin-.
tendent or schools as his main office,
with his old office as a workroom.
The little room between this latter
room and the recorders office, now
used jointly by Mr.. Beeson and Mr..
Marine, will be given over to the lat
ter. Part of this room will be taken
up by the enlargement of the vault IN

The word finally" above is used
fairly advisedly for it is unlikely that
the house resolution which it amend
ed and passed will be returned to it
again. 1t is expected that the resolu-
tion as amended will be promptly ac-
cepted by the house inasmuch as it
has introduced nothing conflicting or
inconsistent with the measure as it
was sent from the house.
The basis Of it is, Of course, the
Wisener resolution. It's adoption by
the house was made possible by the
elaborate amendment offered by
Speaker MacMiliin and in ta4t form
the resolution was adopted by a de-
cisive majority. The many ot. or
Colorado river resolutions which were
then pending in the senate we're either
Junked with the consent of their auth
0rs or we're defeated
Then the attention Of those who
were anxious that something should
be done in respect of the Colorado at
this session centered their attention
upon the Wisener-M MacMillin resolu-
tIon and an amendment was attached
to it only celebrating the MacMillin
amendment and introducing an option
al feature providing for a conference
with the other states of the lower
basin. Under the MacMillin amend
ment that could be accomplished only
by the appointment by the legislature
OF delegates and the result of the con-
