1t Has No Funds and May Have to Be
Closed for Two Years.
Topeka, Kansas, July 81. - Unless an
extra session of the legislature is called
soon it is probable that the state
university will be closed for the next
two years. At the last session an
appropriation Of 5000, 900 was made to
defray the expenses of the institution,
but for some reason no levy was made
to raise the necessary amount. The
state board of equalization. acting
upon the superstition that it had
authority to make the levy independent
Of the legislature, levied a tax of 0.25
mills. The attorney general, in an
opinion rendered to the state auditor.
says that there is no authority in the
statutes for anyone to make a tax levy
except the state legislature, and that
the levy made by the board is void.
This makes it impossible to raise funds
to defray the expenses of the university
this year.

late Judge D. S. Payne took place from
Trinity Church yesterday afternoon. There
was large attendance of the friends of
deceased and his family, among them be-
ing many prominent members of the bar
and many pioneer residents.
The services were entirely without osten-
tation. Rev. DIR. Wakefield read the Epis-
copal burial service and appropriate music

WATERS IRE NOW FALLING.
The Damage Caused by the Frozen
RjIeT Floods.

RiUer Floods.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 14.-The weather
has grown much colder and there was q
heavy fall of snow this morning, SO that
now high tides are past, no further danger
from floods is anticipated.
Reports now coming in from different
portions of the Fraser Valley show that
the damage fully equals the estimates al
ready given. The amount of damage
done to the lands at Delta, Lulu
Island, Sea Island and other settle
ments at the mouth of Fraser
river cannot be fully estimated till the
floods assuage, but it will be considerable,
as the dykes are broken in many places
and immense damage has been done to
roads and bridges.
In Coquitlam municipality the loss will
exceed $4,000, one bridge costing $4,000
being completely destroyed. Two huge
booms of logs, belonging to the Brunette
sawmill, burst and the logs went down the
Fraser with rush.
On English Bay, suburban resort of
this city, great damage was done by high
tides. Public bathing sheds went adrift
and were smashed to pieces by the heavy
breakers. Major-General Twigge's palatial
summer residence on the beach was under
mined and threatens to collapse any
minute.
Mr.. Smiths house was in danger of
destruction, and the family was up all
Saturday night removing the furniture.
Mr.. Fraser suffers the heaviest loss, as his
summer residence, with all his furniture,
was swept away.
The waters are still steadily falling, and
no further damage is anticipated.
