 HOUSE HAD SPENT BUSY LAST
 DAY CLEARING UP MANY BILLS
 THAT~HAD HUNG FIRE; SENATE
 WINS OVER HOUSE.
 The extraordinary session of the Fifth legislature is now a part of the political history of Arizona. It ad- journed sine die, shortly after 6:00 o'clock last Saturday night at the end of a perfect sixtieth day and at the end of the third appropriation for legislative expenses.
 The senate won over the house for it's version of the general appropr,a tion bill at almost every point after the measure had gone through two conferences. The house saved a point in it's effort to wipe out the office of immigration commissioner, and the restoration of a part of the $5,OO0 it had appropriated for the legal ex- penses of the tax commission There was left in the bill for that purpose s2,5OO.
 The senate retained the National guard with an appropriation of $65,- 900 and secured an added appropria tion of $3,00O for the state fair, bring ing that item to $75,OOO. That gain was made in conference.
 Here is the work of the first spe- cial session of the Fifth Arizona legislature as represented by bills which have been passed by both houses. All of these measures have been signed by the governor.
