appointment of q committee Of

mission is provided in a res
olution introduced in the House
of Representatives this after
noon. The resolution was re-
ferred to committee.
The fight over the repeal of the
| anti-cigarette law opened in earnest
today in the North Dakota legisla-
ture with public hearing conducted
by the state affairs committee of the
Senate. Strong opposition to the
repeal was made manifest at the
committee meeting.
Companion bills, one prohibiting
the smoking of cigarettes by minors
and fixing a penalty for violation,
and measure repeating the present
prohibitio4 on cigarette sales and
licensing dealers and placing
stamp tax on them, designed to raise
100000 to $50O,OOo revenue annual
ly were before the committee when
county, author of the measures, call
ed the committee to order.
An executive session is planned by
the committee before vote is TAX
en- on them.
Mrs. C. A. Fisher, president of the
Women's Nonpartisan Clubs of the
state. appeared in opposition to the
measure, declaring she was "bitter-
ly opposed to licensing anything that
is acknowledged in the bill to be a
wrong" Mrs. j. E. Stevens, wife Of
Senator Stevens, and Mrs. c. G. Boise
of Bismarck, and Thomas Pendray
of jamestown also opposed the bill.
Mr., Pendray said he voted for the
anti-cigarette bill' in the legislature
but admitted the law had not prohi-
bited their sale.
Senator Ettestad, non smoker,
appeared favorable to the measures,
saying the present anti-cigarette bill
did not prohibit and that the meas
ure licensing their sale and controll-
ing sale to minors should be more
effective than the present law.
Under the present law, cigarettes
may be purchased by mail and ship
ped into the state. Many of those
favoring the bill do not appear to
have the interest they formerly did,
holding that one-third of the smok-
ers now buy their cigarettes outside
the state and that the repeal measure
is not important except as a licens-
ing measure.
The committee concluded its meet
ing without definite action. 1t will

taking final action on the bill.

w. Nelson, Pioneer
Little Snake River
Valley, died Alaska

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Mrs. A. r. Reader, and
will be of interest to many Of the
old-timers in Rawlins and Carbon
county:
The many friends of Mr.. William
Nelson, pioneer resident Of Little
Snake River Valley, will be grieved
to learn of his death which occurred
on Squaw Creek in Alaska, Deem
Der IS, 1924.
This word was sent to Mr.. A. r.
Reader by the United States Com
missioner at Jack Wade, Alaska.
Mr.. Nelson was born in Norway.
in the 194O's. Little is known of his
early life except that he was Q sailor.
However, the lure of gold caused him
to abandon this calling. He came to
this valley with the late Mr.. Darr
from Nevada in the year 1878. These
Hutchinson began prospecting for
gold on Poverty Bar" near Hahn's
Peak. Mr.. Hutchinson sold his in
terests to Mr.. Noah Reader. Some
what later all three Of these men
sold out.
With the money so acquired, they
purchased CdlLlo WHICH Iney Dfdlueu
with the Dog Iron and the Double
Wrench. Messrs. w. G. and A. R.
Reader succeeded their father and
the firm of Darr, Nelson and Reader
Brothers bought the Heart brand
from Mr.. Will Baker, son of the late
Jim Baker.
Mr.. Nelson located some placer
mines or Timberlake which were
subsequently bought by Mr.. Law
The gold rush to Alaska interested
him greatly, and disposing of all his
holdings in Wyoming, he joined the
throng seeking their fortune there.
Always somewhat reticent, little is
known of his years spent in the
north. Occasional letters have come
back to tell of success here or bright
hopes there or of a change of plan.
His last visit in Snake River Valley
was made in 1898.
In December, Mr.. Reader received
a letter from Mr.. Nelson which was
written in October. This letter stated
that he vas in the best of health
so his death came as a distinct shock
to his friends.
Mr.. Nelson was a gentleman of
sterling worth. kind of heart, honest,
upright and a true friend.

A FUTURE

Compared with future develop
ment, public utilities are today where
the railroads were seventy-five years
ago when n was obliged to change
cars five times when going between
New York and Chicago. Most bonds
of light and power companies now
being offered should some day be
underlying liens of super power sys-
tens with great central generating
stations. Furthermore, we as yet are
only scratching the surface as to-
uses for electrical energy. Homes,
factories, railroads and other lines
should, during the next ten or fifteen
years, triple the present demand for
electric current. Almost every new
important invention either increases
the demand for power or decreases
the cost of producing OF transmitting

The Eighteenth State Legislature
amended the rodent control law in
Section 3 SO that che County Com
missioners may levy a special tax not
exceeding one-fourth mill on all tax
able property within the county for
rodent control purposes, rather than
take the sum from the General Fund
as in the past. Another change in
Section g., which formerly read that
each landowner in the rodent dis
trict should receive notice to poison
and that said" notice should be in
serted in the newspapers, was
changed to read that "a" notice shall
be inserted. Section s was amended
to provide hat when the County
does poisoning work on decided land,
the charges shall be paid by the
landowner for whom the poisoning
work was done by the County, within
80 days after presenting a bill for
the same, or said charges shall be

lows the mailing of bills and collec-
ton of the charges rather than wait
ing to place it all on the taxes.
