condition that prevails in regards the

on hand is only $97,7SO34. This is
running mighyt close to the wind.
The state. it will be remembered, in
debted itself, when a special session
of the legislature was called, to the
school fund for sum vastly in ex
cess Of what Is now on hand, leaving
it now on the red side of the leger
for over 100000.
Meanwhile the school fund has be
come more plethoric. 1t has loaned
milSons Of dollars to the United
States, to the states of California
Massachusetts, Idaho and New Mex
