SENATE MEMBERS HOLDING UP BILLS
 IN COMMITTEES
LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS AF- TER TODAY'S SESSION
 COMES TO AN END

JUNEAU, May 2, Especial to the Gateway)-The house tonite is practically ready to adjourn but the senate was still holding some dozen house bills back in the committee including the gen. eral appropriations measure and the Alaska College appropriations. Conferences on all disputed sub jects were cleared away except the comptroller bill which hangs with no visible progress but it is runored that the house amend ments will be virtually accepted in their entirety.
 The senate waded through 20 house measures yesterday after noon killing two and passing IS.
 Most of theses were of minor nature; Woofter'S bill was killed, This bill provided that no more than one crime could be charged in any indictment. The measure authorizing the Governor to dis pose of useless and real personal property of the Territory, was in cluded in the bills which were kill ed
 Among the bills passed was that of the referendum in the next general election, on the Alaska bone dry law; the election of a Territorial highway engineer; two bills for the protection of fur far mers against trespassing; the other, relating to ownership of escaped animals.
 A $4O,00O appropriation for stream clearing and destruction of predatory enemies of salmon, the work to be done in coopera- ton with the federal bureau of fisheries, was passed.
 Winn's physical examination and medical attention bill for the protection of public schools, was passed; the Seward Peninsula ship subsidy was passed.
 The sportsmen of Alaska got attention when the senate passed Fishers bill appropriating $500 to buy wild rice to be distributed by the Governor to hunting clubs and to responsible individuals to plant at feeding and breeding places of wild fowl.
 The house has two minor Sen- ate bills on hand and the three cent gas tax bill. The last seems to be fated to die in the commit tee. Hope for any action on Fish CTS eight-hour bill is virtually dead as it is still in the committee and without any prospect of be- ing exported to the floor.

came from the field when the noon horn

and wonderful thirst, and then he
would keep that old bucket a-going,
until his wife feared that his buttons
would burst. Perhaps after dinner the
poet felt rocky, and sat in the floor as
though tired of the game; his joints
were all sore and his inwards were
balky, and anguish pervaded his toll

he'd presently mutter, accusing his wife.
or his aunt, or his niece; "rat poison

ring up the doc and the chief of police"
And then the poor poet grew sicker and
sicker. and suffered such anguish as no
one can tell; and no one suspected the
germ-ridden liquor, the poisonous water
he drew from the well. The doc thought
it likely the victuals were tainted, Of
which the sick poet with freedom par
took, and marvellous pictures of terror
he painted, to rattle the woman who
acted as cook. Now scientists tell us
the old oaken bucket was deadly as
cobras or moccasin snakes; the fellow
