should not go on the ballot with the
prohibition amendment at the election
next year.

the quietus on the proposal to force
the university to dissolve it's affiHa-
ton with the Mayo Foundation when
it refused to make the dissolution bill

those wanting the bill as. a special
order of business were outvoted three
to one.

cided to report out the bill aimed at
the University Mayo utilization with
out recommendation The bill will 20
on general orders in the Senate and

to provide that the state will retain
control of all power rights, the flood
control bill has been passed by the

Norway.

It is now exactly a hundred years
since the first private, school for girls
was established in Bergen.
During the year 1916 the deposits
Of the savings banks of Christiania in
creased from about $1O0,O00,00O to
about 100000.
Anna Rogstad, the Christiania
school teacher, who some years ago
served brief term in the storthing,
has deserted the liberal party and
gone over to the socialist labor party.
The city council of Fredrikshald vot-
ed unanimously to distribute $1,000
among the poor people of the city in
order that they might be able to- buy
fuel for keeping their houses warm.
The people of Bergen show great
enthusiasm over the establishment of
a university in their city. To date
about $27O,0OO have been subscribed
toward the building of the institution
and practically all Of this comes from
Bergen people.
It is probable that the neutrality
markings on Norwegian vessels soon
will be removed. It is pointed out
that these markings, which have been
painted on the sides of the ships dur
ing the war, not only do not any long
er protect neutral ships, but make
them an easy prey for submarines.
The Vittingfos pulp factory was de-
stroyed by fire so suddenly that some
of the workingmen did not get time
to save their outer garments, which
they had hung up some distance from
the places where they were working
The paper mill was saved.
It is only a question of a few years
when the city of Bergen will have a
university Of it's own. Patriotic citi-
zens have already raised about $780,
600 for new buildings. The new school
will be built around the old museum
as a nucleus.
