Aside from the appropriation for

thrown into the Joint ways and means
committee for discussion pruning or
enlarging as the case may be, before
the legislative assembly is called upon
to act on these measures as a whole,
Big Bills Probable.
They may come reported in the
shape of one big bill, or cut up into a
number Of bills, The sentiment seems
to favor the one bin somewhat to car
ry all Of the appropriations for the in
stitutlons, with the possible exception
o. the appropriation bills for the Uni
versity of Oregon and the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College
The appropriation estimates for
the state institutions are estimates
prepared and furnished by the vari-
Gus superintendents. Members Of the
state board passed several days going
over them, but did not entirely agree
on all points, and finally decided to
send them into the ways and means
committee, with some of the recon-
mendations cut out, but not carrying
with them any particular message
from the board
