people of Umatilla county.
The good roads movement is In a
way infeclioun. The staid old stales

provide the means of their construc

Tho state of Washington is preparing
to expend three times as much ns the
outside figure proposed for this Denver

The resources of Umatilla county
are such1 that an expenditure of a

Sonic one has dug up this bit of
history:
"When tho war drew to a close,
it was he who began alone the
task of making peace. He had
nearly completed the work when
hi;, colleagues appeared in Paris,
and by incautious words broke
the web so carefully spun. . . .
Finally, boldly disregarding the
Instructions of congress, he
emerged from dll complications
with a triumphant peace."
Nine out of ten and more likely
ninety-nine out of a hundred persons
would say that the foregoing was in
tended as a tribute to Woodrow Wil
son, but such is not the case. It is a
part of an eulogy paid by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts to Itonjamin
Kiauklin for the part that J-'ranklin
played in winding up the revolution
ary war.
In view of Senator Lodge's present
attitude, it certainly sounds like a
joke on somebody.

RIVERSIDE, Cul., March . 6.-
Plans are being formulated for a
Pan-American University, uad a
number of wealthy men of the Unit
ed States hopo to bring about a
closer union of all the nations of tho
western hemisphere.
Dr. Uriburl, with whom the Idea
originated, will bo tho first president.
Tho incorporation! papers ore to be
filed here within a short time, ho
said.
A freo site has been offored for
tho university, Dr. Uriburl stated,
and' It Is hoped that actual construc
tion of buildings will bo started In a
few months. It Is thought It will be
about three yours before tho univer
sity is opened
Tho study of modern language
will occupy a promlent place in the
curriculum of the Institution, es
pecial attention to bo given to Span
ish and Knglluh.
Somo of tho most promlent mem
bers of tho faculties of South Amer
ican universities aro to be offored
chairs in tho I'sn-Amorleaiai Univer
sity, according to Dr. Uriburl.
Tho buildings will be of tho pure
Spanish colonial type. The .total
cost, when tho university Is com
pleted will bo from UO, 000, 000 to
$20,000,000.
'Not only will tho establishment
of the university, bring about bet
ter International relation In this
hemisphere," Bald Dr. Urburl, "but It
will mean a, gieatly Increased trade
to the I'uitod States. Millions of dol
lars are 'lust annua'lly "o. merchants
of this country through inability of
Americans to speak Spanish.
Dr. Uriburl Is general manager of
tho American-Latin League, an or
ganization with headnur.rters in Los
Angeles, whose announced object is
to bring about bettor undorstandinc;
bet ween American employers and
Mexican labor and pn vent industrial

Kangaroos Win
The Kangaroos took two out of the
three volleyball games last night from
the Bearcats in the business men's
volleyball league at the Y. M. C. A.
All three games were hard fought.
The scores were 21-17, 21-12 and
l'J-21.
Tho team work of Captain Luper's
outfit is by far the best of any of
the teams in the league, for they
play their positions, us their heads
and pass the ball up to the net like
veterans. .

In their announcement today, the di-
rectors said: "Bihv profcusional and
business men and ladies have been
spending ten to fifteen hours a day :
for several days working on the cam-1
paign, and that the financial assist
ance may be distributed over ns large
an area as possible, and be reduced to
the jiunimfim for each individual, the
campaign is to be spread from house i

district alone.

weight at home. The function of the
local Y differs from that in France;
tho need of the . institution here

miums at this time. A problem of fi
nance that becomes insignificant if
properly distributed is before the in
stitution for solution, and, like La
Grande always does in meritorious
moves, will maet this condition. Some
twenty-five or thirty busy men and
women are giving their time and full
allotment of money to the cause, and
atk in return that the rest of the citi
zenship assume its just share."
