TELLS OF RAILROADING
IN CENTRAL AMERICA
Al the regular meeting of the Engin
eering Club Friday evening, Mr. H. W.
Libby gave a very interesting account
of his railroading experiences in Cen
tral America.
The railroad with which he was con
nected was built for the United Fruit
Company, in the Changuinola vtalley,
for the purpose of furnishing transpor
tation for the company’s large banana
fields.
The road was built through a tide
marsh, where the ground was so marshy
that it would flow if trenches were dug
in it. Covering the ground everywhere
was a thick mat of underbrush with
heavy roots. On these roots the rail
road was built. Steel and concrete were
used, as white ants would eat wood.
President and Mrs. Campbell and
Professor and Mrs. DeCou were guests
of the Delta Sigma fraternity at dinner
Wednesday evening.

TEARING m HOUSE
Legal Fight Occurring Over Lo
cation of Paul Bond’s
Boat House
Williams & Bean, attorneys for F. L.
Or mbcrs, yesterday served papers on
the city enjoining them from interfering
with the building of Paul Bond’s boat
house, and asking for damages for tear
ing down the structure. The city has
ten days in which to answer.
The question at present is: Who
owns the property on which the boat
house is being built? The city claims
the house stands on its street line, and
F. L. Chambers contends that it is on
his property.
Xo work has been done for several
weeks on the house, and it will be an
other ten days before it will be known
whether the house must be moved.
PERHAPS NO STUDENT
DANCES THIS SEMESTER
Owing to a conflict in dates, Ihc stu
dent body dance for this semester can
not possibly be given before April 29,
and may not be pulled off at all. Ever
since examinations, petitions have been
pouring in thick and fast, and now the
committee on student affairs announces
that there are no more open dates until
the last week in April. This will put
off the dance till after spring vaca
tion. and will bring the event so near
(n Junior Week Fnd and the Junior
Prom that it may be thought advisable
not to hold it at all.
It is certain, however, that there will
he no dearth of entertainment this se
mester, and there is a chance that the
affair may be run off toward the latter
part of May.

A Varsity Squ*d of Ten Will Be

Ralph Ncwlands, manager of tennis,
has completed plans for the handicap
matches for the Laraway cup, and the
tryouts for the Varsity team to play
the University of Washington here Fri
day afternoon of Junior Week End. 1 he
contest for the Watts cup, offered for
the championship of the Freshman class,
has narrowed down to three—Black,
Yaden and Bedford. Black and Yaden
will play off their games as soon as the
weather permits, and the winner will
then play Bedford for the cup and the
title.
No dates have yet been set for the
handicap tournament for the Laraway
cup, which is open to competition, both
for students and faculty. “A certain
date will he set for entries,” said Man
ager Newlands yesterday, and after that
date no more candidates will be en
tered. During (previous years much
trouble has been caused by the careless
ness of players neglecting to enter their
names at the proper time. This year
the match schedules will be compiled
just after the entries close, and no mat
ter for what cause, no additions can
he made after that time. Regular hours
for t,hc different players will be posted,
and students not entered will be barred
Vernon Motschenbacher, ’14,
Member Varsity Debate Team
from the courts at those times. An en
try fee of twenty-five cents will be
eh rged, and the proceeds will be used
to lniy more prize cups.”
The team which plays Washington
here Junior Week End will be chosen
by competitive tryout. Newlands and
Stine, last year's team, are conceded
places in the final tryout. As a pre
liminary, five matches will be played
between ten of the best players of the
University. Each of the winning five
will play four matches, and the two
men winning the highest scores in these
matches will,compose Oregon’s team.
The Varsity contestants will undergo
a system of training similar to that for
track and baseball.

DR. WILKINSON GIVES
INTERESTING BIBLE TALK
Interest in the series of discussions
that are being held Friday evenings on
the different phases of Bible investiga
tion is growing rapidly. In spite of a
number of diverting attractions, the lec
ture by Dr. H. S. Wilkinson last night
on “The Literature of the Bible,” was
one of the best attended meetings for
several weeks.
Dr. Wilkinson is recognized as one
of the most interesting and forceful
speakers in this part of the state, and
his presentation of this phase of the
Bible, while limited because of the short
time allowed him, was both compre
hensive and thorough. He brought out
the poetic beauty of the Psalms and
other parts of the Bible, the excellence
of narration of the gospels, the com
pelling logic of the arguments of Paul,
showing why the Bible is entitled to a
place as the greatest literary production
of all ages, and how the greatest writ
ers and speakers of history have based
their works on this book.
Dr. Sheldon will speak next Friday
evening on “The Ethics of the Bible,”
a subject that all thinking college men
are interested in.
