 and House Now Leaving City.
 Many of the members of the legis- lature left last night for their homes. Others will take their departure today | and some will remain in the city until Sunday. All rose late yesterday morn i ing after their strenuous all-night ses- sion and were glad that they did not have to go through it again. All the | bitterness of sixty days had vanished and no doubt if all should meet here two years hence, they would meet as long separated friends. The legislators congratulated them selves on having passed no freak legls lation or any that would be likely in any way to disturb business. An ex- planation was made yesterday by one of the leaders of the 'stalling" that went on in the house after midnight of Thursday. There was a great noun tain of bills, some on third reading and others on tho calendar of the com mittee of the whole that might have been finally disposed of while an agree ment was being reached on the county
 classification bill.
 But said one of the leaders yester day, it was this way: If you had a ulC6 WOOupllC anu hlSW IuelI IAClO
 were several sticks in it loaded with
 dynamite and did not know which
 ones, wouldn't you hesitate to monkey
 around that wood pile? That is. the
 way we felt about it. There were
 many bills in that pile that we would
 have liked to pass but we did not know when we would uncover one that we did not want to consider
 One source of pride to the legislat-
 ors is that they did something that no
 other Arizona state legislature ever
 did; they completed the work in
 single session. The other two state
 legislatures not only used up all the
 original appropriation for it's contin-
 gent expenses but at each of the many
 extraordinary sessions made another
 appropriation which was always eE-
 hausted. Of the original appropria-
 tion made for this session of $50,000,
 more than $4 ,000 will be turned back
 into the general fund. No doubt that
 seems like crime to some of the
 members, an unheard of thing.
 In the hurry of the preparation of
 the account of the proceedings of
 Thursday night there was an apparent
 error in the account of the vote on the Cochise county bill. It appeared
 that Representative Goodwin of this
 county had voted against it, whereas
 he not only supported the bill but ' made a speech in favor of it. The
 vote to which reference was madt was on preliminary motion in the II afternoon.
