Shipping Bill Fight Faces Senate Vote in Lawless Era
The Senate debated the controversial shipping bill with Senator Frye insisting on pushing it to a vote against competing appropriation measures. Senator Turner denounced the bill as extravagant and harmful, arguing subsidies would total about 270 million dollars and favor private interests over the public welfare. The Indian appropriation bill advanced, amendments to continue several agencies were debated, and amendments on foreign ship subsidies sparked fierce exchanges before adjournment at 6:30 p.m.

Land Commissioners Adjourn. Cooney Land Purchase Denied
The Montana state board of land commissioners met in Helena and rejected Thomas Cooney’s bid to buy several acres in the reform school grant near Red Bluff in Madison county. The board found the land adjacent to a stream and feared loss of water for settlers, thus declining the sale. It also declined D W Jenkins’s request to lower rent on a state lease from 28 to 45 dollars per year. Deer Lodge residents urged halting Peter Valston’s lease due to mineral land and fencing, but the board referred the dispute to the state land register for further proof and investigation.
