 man and S20O,000 by another. Here the largest contribution was s100,000, and
 there were 1.700 subscribers instead of
 100. From these smaller subscriptions
 we have raised within q week sI35 000,
 and now have s1, ,1S5, 900 in hand for the
 general purpose. In addition to the
 gift for the forestry school and the great Byers gift, we have $600,000 more
 in hand and have promises which ren- l der it safely and surely assured that we cannot only go on with the building
 plans but that by the time of the Bi-

He said that l the Lampson estate had now been set l tied and that after all the lawyers fees | were paid the estate was going to turn put bigger than was at first thought | The estimate of $425, 900 was too small md the estate is liable to turn out ,ver s450 000"
