we knew thal Senator Millard was
admitted to the bar:
One could tell the profession of
each of our legislators by I he

strong on bills relating to legal
procedure. He wants to protect
the purchaser and he' wants to
bind agreements about grub
stakes. Millard is a lawyer.
Bruner wants to curtail the time
allowed to adverse applications
for patent. He is also a lawyer.
Sutherland wants to keep the
fish traps from Alaska waters.
Dan was born on the eastern
coast of Canada. His father was
