Mr. Nichols confined his address to a historical sketch of Box Elder 'county with respect to' its industries, comparing and commenting on the major industries of the state. The talk was an exceptionally interesting one and carried a great deal of information that is little known by the residents of this county. There is no question but that Mr. Nichols had spent a world of time and effort in assembling this data. Following his talk, a special request was made for his talk in detail that it might be published in this paper. No attempt in this article will be given as to the material used in his address but readers may anticipate a full text of his talk in a future issue.

The appropriations bill carrying expenditures of $5,426,178.99 for the next biennium passed without change. It exceeds by more than $255,000 anticipated revenues, but funds derived from liquor control operations and other sources are expected to make up the difference. Other appropriations especially provided for include $60,000 for legislative expenses and $25,000 for Carbon county. In voting on controversal measures in the senate last week Senator Albert E.
