RUMORS OF EXTRA
SESSION HEARD
IF NECESSARY S0L0NS WILL
MEET AGAIN TO PASS ADMINS
TRATION BILLS

BOISE, Feb. 2S.-Talk of an extra
session of the legislature is being
heard if the present session fails to
pass the administration measures. 1t
is now apparent it will be impossible
to get through the vast amount of leg
islative matter pending within the 60
allotted days and the session will go
IS days or more. The senate had a
night session last night.
Administration measures were sifted
to the top of the legislative calendar
in both branches of the legislature yes
terday and a number of important
bills to which the majority, or demo-
cratic, party is pledged were passed.
Probably the two most important
were the land department investigat-
ing act introduced by Senator Hill In
the senate, passed by that body some
time ago, approved by the house and
sent to the governor, and the health
department consolidation bill, which
brings the several boards of examin-
alton under the jurisdiction of the
state board of health, together with
the pure food department. These bills
survived the house.
The senate passed new state bank
ing bureau act, creating paid COM
