force consideration, that body adopted
today the Penrose resolution calling

All I juliil In Harmony
The last bill signed was one dis
posing of lands in the Colville Indian
reservation. In the house, in marked
coti-trast to the senate, an outburst of
applause greeted Speaker Clark's an
nouncement of adjournment. The

mated scene. Old-time political foe.i
burled their differences in leave tak
ing and women flocked down from
the galleries to join their husbands
and fathers on the floor.
