Alumni of the University of Oregon located in La Grande have been urged by President Campbell to take active 8t;ps in the fight against invokement oi the referendum from Cottage Grove affecting the appropriation for the next two years' improvements. In bis letters to local merabsrs of the Alumni association Mr. Campbell sars: ( Q "The university appropriation la threatened with a referendum at Cot tage Grove, and the appropriates of thr university, the agricultural col lege, and the normal school, are threatened with another referendum from Yamhill county. If these refer endum movements are successful, the higher educational -work of the state will be very seriously impeded for the Sft years, and Oregon will be made the subject of very undesir able criticism in many parts of the union during the same period. A gen eral ' referendum movement would probably excite so much distrust that millions of dollars of capital for in ViStment would be diverted from Ore ion to Washington and California, The whole movement is dangerous to education and to state prosperity. We want you to help create a sentiment which will Induce the people at Cot tage Grove and at McMInnvIlle to give over their attempt at Invoking the referendum. "The total of the appropriations made by the legislature will involve only about a two million tax levy next year. This Is a low rate, even after an allowance has been made for the Increase of valuation in the stat?. The tax commission estimates that the present valuation of 844 millions rep resents only about 71 per cent, of the Actual cash value of the property of Oregon. "The appropriation of $503,000 for the university is principally to be used for buildings and other perma nent Improvements. Fully four fifth of It will go in that direction. , It Is needless to say that the buildings are very badly needed. The total of the appropriations for the university will amount to only a quarter of a mill on the present valuation, after the d -ductlons are made for the amount of revenue received from Indirect sourc es. This imans a 25 cent tax on the man who owns a thousand dollars' worth of property. "The material Interests ' of every section of Oregon will be seriously affected if the ref-rendum Is Invoked. I think the editors of the state will see this Immediately. I think they will bIbo recognize at once th? great damage which will be done to higher education. "I hone that you will send a person- al letter to some member of th? com mlttees at Cottage Grove and at Mc MInnvIlle, asking them to consider well before Invoking the referendum. These committees will naturally be receiving many letter of encourage ment. There ought to be a flood of letters of discouragement. Immediate action may have the effect of induc ing them to discontinue their efforts. A letter addressed to the Committee on Referendum will probably reach the right people at both Cottage Grove and McMInnvIlle. "It will be a very great favor if you will let me known what the prevail ing sentiment seems to be in your community. We shall soon have an Alumni committee appointed to take charge of the whole campaign. Any Information which you can s;nd me will be turned over at once to the committee, and I am sure will prove of service to them also. "Hoping that you may take an Ira mediate and active interest in helping to stop this movement, which so vital ly affects not only the university's welfare, but also the largest Interests of the whole statr, I remain, very sincerely yours.

Sabio No. 7 First Street Room 8, Portland, Oregon, Mar. 4-31. . Ths Great Art of Dying. To die without rebellion and without weakness Is the masterpiece of a man. A mouuUia csidc whose name the London Mall does not mention in nar- rating the story of his heroism, with two others, was leading a party over one of the most dangerous passes of the higher Alps. , The men, as is usual, were tied to gether by a long rope.; As they scaled a wall of ice they slipped on the edge . of a frightful chasm. The guide was at the end of the rope. . Without his weight there was a chance for" the others to regain their v footing; with it his experienced eye told blm there was none. With in stant courage he drew bis knife from his belt and said quietly- to the man next him: "Tell mother how It bannened. Ed- mond." He cut the rope and fell, never to be seen again. iuiihHiiniiiiiiiiiinmniitHiinnnniitrni It m 9 - T New Lot Just in f ' Swift's Premium Hams Medium Size Winchester Bacon ; The Breakfast Kind Pop Corn that Eagle Valley Honey, white comb 20c or 3 for 50c ;!
