The board may cut a million or more from the total of about $8,000,000 requested by depart- mens, institutions, etc., to run the state. It is hardly possible, board ‘f however, that the budget will recommend a lower total than was requested two year: ago. ‘ Salaries are cut in many depart- ments and the appropriations asked for educational institutions are de- creased. The complete appropriations to be recommended by the board have not been. agr2e@upon entirely. President Kane of the University of North Dakota asked for $1,750,0i4, which was cut to $1,380,270. The last two-year period in appropriations ana income the University received $2t €37.°8. but a deficit of $76,610 remain: to be taken care of. The officials of the Agricultura! «:o'. lege at Fargo asked for $672,329 and the budget board granted them $408.- 420; The major portion of the «mount cut was the: appropriation for th completion of Agricujpural basins, $150,000, ‘All buildings asked for by the Uni versity, save an extension to the power plant end additions ty the le brary building were disallowed.

Word of {their rescue reached here in 4 telégram last night. If the batloonists got awav on w 27th ag they proposed to do and if they make as good time as they ex- pected they should get back in touch with civilization at a:railyoad station, probably Mattie, tomorrow or Wed- nesday. Aviation officers, however, inclined to the opinion that it will be several days before the bailoonists, unaccus- tomed to dog sled travel, work their way out of the frozen north country. | After the balloonists ‘hud disappear-| ed, airplanes’ were sept out from!

Nowhere is there outspokea approval of the pun- ishment meted out to the Irish vil- lage by Major General Sir Edward Strickland and there evidently is some reluctance to endorse this meth- od of keeping order. In official statements it. is declared that seven dwellings in Middletown werg destroyed. ag a result of an am- hush of police near that town last Wednesday. it is deciarod that the authorities had decided that the peo- the police and: that:atter the occu- cceupantg were permitted to remove their valuables but had to leave most of their possessions. ongarvative newspapers deplore this form of government while not condemning it. The radical press, on the other hand, is horrified. WOULD INCLUDE v.
