. Ushed numerically considerable, but
is to the Importance of the accom-

- - The senate passed nine senate mea
sure five of which were amendments
to the game and game fish laws; two

drainage districts.
' The others passed will permit Prank
Pierce to codify the state laws and

Secretary Olcott Expects to
, Have Them Ready for Sale
Early in May, :
MUCH LABOR IS SAVED
Expedient of Xavlag BarolUnf Con
mlrtees leaks Carson Copies of
aceasnres as Massed Saves Tims.
Salem. Or- Feb. 24. With 430 bills
enacted into law the session laws of
1917 will be the largest volume of ses
sion laws ever published by the state
The volume will be ready for sale
early In May, according to a statement
made today by Secretary of State Ol
cott. In addition to havinr the largest
number of Mils passed, the volume will
be exceedingly bulky because of the
length of many of the measures, such
as the Insurance, irrigation and high
way codes.
The secretary of state's office is
rushing the compilation of the volume.
By an arrangement between Olcott'a
office and the enrolling committees of
the senate and house of the legislature,
an extra carbon typewritten copy was
made of the bills enacted into law.
This obviates the Immense amount of
work and the consequent expense Inci
dent to transcribing the bills as final
ly passed and made It possible to fur
nish the state printer with copies .of
all the bills passed immediately fol
lowing adjournment of the legislature.
This Is the first time anyone ever has
thought about making such a saving In
both time and expense.
Secretary Olcott says it is impossi
ble to determine the price of the new
volume until after the exact cost of
publication Is known.

poned from February 21 to March 16.
according to an order received today
by the public service commission from
the interstate commerce commission.

panies of all empty or loaded cars
which leave their lines.
