UNIVERSITY Of IDAHO GETS
OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS

The University of Idaho, the states
greatest educational institution, is to
get 81 1892 for maintenance, build
ing, improvements and extension work
if the appropriation bill adopted by
the house yesterday is passed and
the concensus of opinion is that it will
pass both houses and be signed by the
governor. The bill provides 100000
for the Lewiston Normal school in
addition to more than a million for
the university and agricultural col
lege.
The securing of this sum of money
will mean much to the university and
to Moscow as we'll as to the entire
state. Among the appropriations for
the university are various items total.
ling more than $1,000 for permanent
Improvements. These include the
completion of the south wing of the,
administration building and several
other buildings and Improvements in
buildings already on the campus.
The appropriation bill carries a to-
tai of $2,143,000 for educational and
other state institutions and reports
from Boise are that there is practical
ly no opposition to any of the items
that go to make up this sum. The
Washington legislature appropriation
bill for state institutions carries
something over $12,000,000 or almost
six times the amount in the Idaho
appropriation bill.
