The Girls’ Glee Club will not take the proposed trip to Portland and other cities until after the Spring vacation, is the final conclusion that Manager Walker has reached, after consulting with the president of the Portland Alumni Association in Port land. “While in Portland,” said Walker, ‘‘I conferred with several people as to the advisibility of having the Girls’ Glee Club stage a concert some time in the near future in that city. They thought it would be a fine thing, but we were unable to decide on a suit able date. “The nearest date that could be considered was the Friday and Sat urday of the Spring vacation. This comes, however, just before Easter, and they were afraid to put on a concert at that time. “I also had a conference with the board that manages such affairs at the Lincoln High School, and they were of the same opinion regarding the date. They would be glad to have the girls appear there, but we wre not able to fix a date, at least before the spring vacation. “The other dates for the trip would also have to be arranged and so the matter will have to hold over until after the vacation, when It may be taken up again.” MORE MAMMOTH TUSKS FOUND BY GEOLOGISTS Prof. Collier and Six Students Get Results on Investiga tion Tour While Prof. Collier, head of the Department of Geology of the Uni versity, and six students of his de parmeut were on the Farrington farm, two miles and a half from Eu gene on the Spencer llutte road, for the puprose of getting the tusk of the, mammoth that was discovered a week ago, they met 0. W. Lucas, owner of the Farrington place, who told them that he could show them where the remains of another mam moth were located. Professor Collier and his six faith ful ones followed Mr. Lucas, who took them to a place on the other part of the farm and showed them what proved to be the remains of an other mammoth. A tusk and one of the bones of the animal was found. The tusk is sticking out of the ground a short ways. Professor Collier will make another trip to the farm in the next few days and secure the bones of Mammoth No. 2. The exact slue of the tusk is not known, but Pro fessor Collier states that If It is the large end that is protruding from the earth the tusk must be several feet In length. Th tusk of the animal discovered a week ago was brought back by Professor Collier’s party Saturday and Is now on exhibition at the Uni versity Museum In Villnrd Hall. The remains of three mammoths have been discovered In the vicinity of Eugene, as far as Is known at pres ent. Thirty-eight years ago, Dr. Con don found a tusk of a mammoth and it can be seen at the University Mu seum. The place where Dr. Condon made his find is not known, but Pro fessor Collier is of tile opinion that it nost probably came from the same vicinity where the two recent discov eries have been made.
