LIBM HIS RELICS 0 Old Copy of “TheCitizen,” First^Flag Made in Oregon, and Ancient Books Among Articles An old newspaper, the first flag made in Oregon, a piece of the Confed-| erate flag that waved over the capitol at Richmond for four years, a Con federate $10 note, a Lincoln gavel, and some ancient books, compose the list of relics in the University Libra ry. The old newspaper is a copy of the last wall-paper edition of The Citizen, issued at Vicksburg, Mississippi, in July, 1863. The Confederates had used all their paper and were forced to print The Citizen on wall paper. On July 2, 1863, the last issue of this paper went to press, but before the printing had been finished, Grant had captured the city. There is a little note in the lower right hand corner of the paper dated July 4, 1863, ap parenetly written by the Union sol diers, saying that no more would The Citizen appear on wall-paper, and that the inhabitants of Vicksburg would no longer have to eat rats. The gavel is made from a tree that Abraham Lincoln planted while a boy, and contains the names of all the Presidents since Lincoln until McKin ley. The tree from which the gavel was made was cut down upon the death of Lincoln A Union flag, which was made by Mrs. A. I. Beebe when she was a lit tle girl, and presented by her to the Library, is thought to be the first flag in the State of Oregon. It was made on the east side of the Cascade mountains during the early days. The. flag is kept in the Library vault in the basement. There are several old volumes of hooks on the relic shelf that date back to *the time of Shakespeare. The old manuscripts are all written in Greek and Latin and are bound in heavy pa per of large size. The age of the books is easily shown by the musty and yellow appearance of the -covers and tho pages. STUDENTS GENERALLY FAVOR PROPOSED COMPULSORY TAX (Continued from Page 1.) all who do not pay are the most able to meet this obligation. The Univer sity will net the money when the treasurers cannot” Leo Hendricks: “The main argu ment for the amendment is that it will catch the dead-beats. It isn't right that only a few should support class activities. Finances will be on such a firm basis that any class can handle its Oregana without difficulty." William Holt: “I’m strongly in fa vor of the amendment. It will make it easier on both the treasurer and on the class itself, because they will get the money, when before they did not. It. will be an injustice to no one. As it now is those who do not pay arc better able than those who do. Last but not least, there will be no debts left over for the next class to pay." Merlin Hatley: “Fine amendment should have been here in the past. There now exists an injustice to a con tain portion of the students. The rest leave the burden to the more willing. It will also assure a more systematic method of book-keeping. The das. advisory board will be a line thing.” Elton Loucks: “The amendment is fair to everyone- Now about two thirds are paying for the whole thing, while the rest are receiving the same benefits. Students have as much money at the first of the year as they do at any time, and the payment of all fees at once will save a lot of clerical work. An accurate budget can be drawn up because the resources will be definitely known.” Anthony Jaureguy: “It is the only way to place the class finances on a working basis. All treasurers are greatly overworked.” The Daily Student, of Indiana Uni versity, is being used in one of the o'o -Freshman English courses as a text book. Each day the paper is pulled to pieces and its good and bad points are shown.

MAUDE ADAMS TO BE SEEN HERE THIS MONTH Maude Adams having completed her < tour of the East, has now entered on , one of the longest tours of the Far West that has ever been arranged fori by Charles Frohman.

At the j close pf her San Francisco engage-! ment Miss Adams will visit Portland! and Seattle. She will also visit Brit- j ish Columbia, where she is a very j great favorite. The tour embraces more cities than the actress has ever! before visited in the confines of one theatrical year, and it will keep her j busy until the middle of summer. Will be seen at the Eugene Theatre Thursday, June 1. l.Ol’lSK CKASSLEll IN "OMAR. THE TEN I'M Alv EK" Louise Grassier, who plays the lead ing role in support of Guy Hates Post in “Omar, the Tentinaker," coming shortly to the Eugene Theatre for a return engagement of one night, por trays both youth and maturity. In the first part of the play she enacts the youthful sweetheart, Shireen, of the belovvr poet, Omar Khayyam, in terpreted by Mr. Post. Hut the true1 calibre of her acting is best attested in later scenes. Torn from her lover, Shireen is married to the Shah and later cast off by him to die in the des ert. From this plight she is resent'd by murdering marauders who force her to join their °band. Thus for many years the erstwhile Shireen, now known as the Evil Hanou, is forced to roam the deserts and participate, si lently at least, in many atrocities Thus it will be seen that while Miss Grassier portrays, during the earlier passages of the play, a sweet, lovable young girl, she later has to character ize a full-fledged adventuress. No small test of histrionic virtuosity. j Bezdek turned out to watch his nine under another head and another name play Rupert’s “Monarchs,” of Port and, yesterday.
