Washington, Jan. 31.—Repre- sentatives Steenerson and Buek- man had a comference about drainage matters teday, at the conelusion of which Steenerson introduced a bill appropriating| $15,000 for investigating and preparing a plan for draining swamp lands in ceded portions of the Chippewa reservation in Minnesota. The bill was referred to the committee on Indian af- fairs, of which Buckman 1s a member, and he will push it through that committee. It is admitted by those familiar with eonditions in the house that thereis verylittle chance of its go- “institute legal proceedmgs - ing through that body as a separ- ate measure, and the probability is that the bill or a substitute for it will be put into the Indian ap- propriation billas an-amendment by Senator Clapp when that bi'l reaches the committee on Indian affairs, of which he is chairman, Rejected All Bids. At the meeting of the school board the lowest bids presented for furnishing the schools with wood were $2.20 and $2.25 for jack pine. All bids were rejected and a committee appointed to purchase 200 cords of jack pine and tamarack at prices not to exceed $2 per cord for green cut jack pine and $2 50 for ta.marack.
