Wells spoke in queer, impersonal
way, as IL he were outside the case,
though Haste knew he must be aware
that evidence, at least, was all against
him. Perhaps he has some card up
his sleeve" Ken thought hopefully.
Maybe he's SO wild at my suspecting
him that he'll spring the surprise only
when the police come. There may be
some secret of the house-some trap
Ewes fallen into-not fatal. Rawdon
may know it's going to turn out all
right at last"
Wells opened "A door at the end of
the corridor, and the two men found
themselves in the great hall. Haste
realized then how short a time he had
been gone, for the same group of
servants still crowded round the door
of the music room. At sight of him
they backed away, and their faces be-
trayed such intense. surprise at see

that he intended coming to Hidden

WOULD REDUCE LEGISLATURE
Opponents Say Urban PopuIaee Would
Benefit BY Proposal.

st. Paul-City and country members
Of the house Of representatives clashed
on the question of whether the men,
bership Of the legislature should be
reduced, or at least limited to prevent
further growth. The country members
said cutting down the size of the legis-
lature would give the cities an advan-
tage. The city members said it would
not. The country members won.
The debate was prompted by bin
Of Representative John B. Hompe's
which called for constitutional
amendment to limit the house to 10
members and the senate to 40 mem
bers, the state to be re-apportioned az
ter adoption of the amendment. The
elections committee returned a report
to kill the bill, but Mr.. Hompe and
Representative F. A. Green and F. H.
Holiday sent in a minority report re-
commencing the bill for passage. The
majority report was upheld by a vote
Of GA to 81.

URGES BUDGET SLASH
Governor Seeks 100000 Re-
auctions in Appropriations
Made Two Years Ago.

st. Paul-State appropriations for
the next two years can be held down
to $39,000,000 or less-a reduction of
more than 100000 from the ap-
preparations made by the 1923 legis-
lature-Governor Christianson in.
formed the legislature.
The budget which Governor Chris.
tianson turned over to the legislature
with his message asks that $45, &c.,
$50 be appropriated to run the state
government fpr the next two years.
Two years ago the appropriation re-
quests were $46,195,96O, so that the
new budget is lower by S6O2,010. The
actual appropriations made by the
1923 legislature totaled $42, 1S2,669.
This makes the new budget $3,41O,2S1
higher than the appropriations of two
years ago.
Then Governor Christianson made
the following recommendations:
Possible Reductions.
The secretary of states requested
Increase of $300,520, mostly for motor
vehicle registration, can be ueld to an
amount that is proportionate to the
increased number Of cars registered.
Printing commission budget can be
reduced $4,000 II the legislature pre-
fers that bills for printing, advertising
and binding be held over and paid for
out Of the 1927 appropriation instead
Of having the money available in ad-
vance.
No justification for drainage com.
missions increased appropriation of
$4,000 for topographic survey at
this time.
Increases totaling ;1,1SS,S11 for live
stock sanitary board and advisory
commission for tuberculosis sanatoria,
both involving the fight on tubercu-
losis, can be cut radically.
Increase Of $106,304 in state board
Of health budget should not be
granted.
Industrial commission increased re-
quests Of $37,420 can be covered by
an unexpended balance to the depart
ment's credit.
Oil inspection department increase
Of 1927, $50 should be denied.
Division of weights and measures
increased request of 100000 unneces-
sary.
Game and fish department increase
Of $1,413,402, which IS four times the
1923 appropriations. should not be
granted.
Increases in state university and
state teachers colleges budgets should
be for maintenance only in proportion
to growth in attendance.
State board of cotnrol budget, while
reasonable, can be reduced by elimi-
mating construction totaling $6S8,300.
and cutting out the colony Of epilep-
tics building at Cambridge, $4,000.
Cannot recommend 100000 for
swine barn at state fair and $4,000
for other fair ground improvements.
Quasi-public associations and So
cieties should receive no increased
appropriations.
State forestry board increase OF 100
per cent is too much, but moderate
increase could be granted for forest
fire protection.
State parks can be held to 1928
schedule, saving 100000 in requested
appropriations.

st. Paul-Appeal to the Minnesota

proposed law which would, they said,

law would require demonstration Of

would be issued.
The house motor vehicle committee.
before whom the hearing took place,
indicated favorable sentiment toward
the bill, which would make drivers
licenses a registration proposition un-
til July /, after which date every new

examination. No licenses would be
issued to persons under 1S years Of
age. Provision for suspending licenses
or revoking them following conviction

SENATE Gets BUS
CONTROL PLANS
Delegates From Various Com.
munities Suggest Control by
Warehouse Commission.

ST.. Paula dozen suggestions for
invoking strict regulation of the bus
business in Minnesota were offered to
the senate committee on railroads at
a hearing at which delegates repre-
senting various communities in the
state spoke.
Among the suggestions were:
Control OF bus transportation by the
railroad and warehouse commission.
Requiring bus companies to COM
pete on even terms with the railroads
so that the railroads will not have to
meet difficult and unjust competition.
Avoid paralleling railroad and bus
lines, situation which means only
added expense to the public.
Buses should pay tax large
enough to cover the wear and tear
they cause to highways. One speaker
suggested that this tax money be ap.
portioned to counties through which
bus lines pass.
Have railroad and warehouse com.
mission fix rates from which the bus
operators cannot deviate.
Grant permits to operate buses
only where 1t can be shown that a
public necessity would be fulfilled.
Require liability protection so that
bus companies would be financially
able to pay court judgments the same
as railroads.

VALLEY MOuRKS LOSS
OF EARLY PIONEER

Another of the valleys pioneers has
answered the final call. George W..
Shaw passed away at 6 o'clock last
Sunday evening in the Ellensburg
hospital, where he WAS receiving
treatment. The immediate cause of
death was a blod clot on the brain.
The body was brought to White
Bluffs Monday evening. The funeral
was held at o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoon at the Presbyterian church,
Rev. Acheson officiating, where a
large concourse of Borrowing friends
and neighbors gathered to pay their
last respects, and he was laid to rest
in the White Bluffs cemetery. The
funeral was in charge of the Masonic
Lodge, of which order Mr.. Shaw be-
came member about 80 years ago.
The floral tributes of friends aud
neighbors were many and benniiful
Of an impulsive, generous and
whole-souled disposition it can truly
be said of dad" Shaw that he was
universally beloved and his friends
were limited only by the number of
his acquaintance. He was always
young at heart and always ready
with word of sympathy or whole
some advice to any one in trouble.
He lived his Christianity the
the critical, fault finding type of
Christian, but one who always stood
ready with helping hand or word for
brother who had stumbled.
We shall miss him.
George Winfield Shaw was born in
Grafton, New Hampshire, April 10,
1855, and at the age of six moved
with his parents to Wisconsin, where
he grew to manhood. He was married
to Miss Jane Niven on August %,
1881. With Mrs. Shaw he moved to
Gray's Harbor, Washington, in 1889,
where he resided until 1908 when he
moved to White Bluffs. He purchased
a tract of raw land near the old town.
site and from it developed fine
orchard and few years ago built
nice home.
Besides his many friends he leaves
to mourn his passing his widow, four
children, Clarence Shaw of Hoquiam,
Washington, Winfield Shaw of White
Bluffs, James Shaw of Tillamook,
Oregon, and Mrs. Frank M. Wheeler
of White Bluffs and eight grandchild-
rem. Other surviving relatives are an
uncle, two brothers and two sisters
in Wisconsin.
