The arrirm tire drbatlr.a team of the Cnlverslty of Oregon defeated the team from the Vnlyerslty of Washington tonight In the first debate of the Interstate in anirular series, on the Question: Ke- an veil, that the I'nlted Slates should arinnt a sratera of ship subsidies," The dc-lslnn of the Judges was S to 1 In favor of the affirmative. Karri speaker was allowed 20 minutes for rebuttal. Leon Ray. of Eugene, opened the debate on the affirmative and Howard Zimmerman, of Salem, closed the argument. Raymond Clif ford and Glenn E. Hoover debated for Washington, the latter speaker closing the debate for the negative. The af firmative cleverly masked their argu ment until the closlna speech, when Zimmerman suddenly uncovered It with derisive effect, when It was too late for the Washington debaters to do any thing to confute him. This Is the second defeat Oregon baa administered to the I'nlverslty of WashlnKton in debate, under the roach Ing of Professor lluatar V. Bucben. Both Mr. Kay and Mr. Zimmerman ara debaters of experience. Mr. Kay has represented tha I'nlverslty of Oregon for three years and was leader of tha negative team against Washington last year. Mr. Zimmerman Is a sophomore, made the varsity debating team In hla freshman year, and Is leader eff tha affirmative team, for Oregon this a. a son. The Oregon team will leave Sunday for Salt Lake City, where they will debate next Friday against the Uni versity of I'tah. upon the affirmative of the same question. Professor Ruchen. who accompanied the negative team to Stanford this week, will join them la Salt Lake City and direct their work. The Judges who served In tha debate tonUht were Principal J. R.

FIGURES SHOW PROSPERITY continued From First Face. that the city's growth is one of popula tion as well as business. The build ing permits for tha first quarter of tha year amounted to S4.030.S2s and for tha like period last year tha figures were 11.101.241. Each month this year haa shown a gain and the Increase for tha quarter was $):c.ST9. or SI per cent. An unfailing barometer of business conditions Is afforded by sales of stampa by the Postofflce. Postmaster Merrick aald yesterday that aa nearly as he could determine tha atamp sales for March were $81,100. Sales for tha Ilka month last year were t'S.031, so the gain was 177. or 10 per cent. .For tha first quarter this year tha stamp salea were S 141.73 s. as against fl. 149 for the first quarter of 1910. The gain was $50,487. a matter of 14 per cent. Only In transfers of real estate did March show an apparent decline In business. Last month 1171 deeds were recorded for conveyance of prop erty for which consideration of $2,409. 261 was given. In March. 1910, deeds to the number of 201 for $1,200,861 of property were recorded. Present ac tivity In real estate affects chiefly resi dence and suburban property. No in side realty Is changing hands Just now and It is sales of Inside real es tate that must be depended on to swell the total of transactlona.

In moat cases actual con veyance of title will not take place for live years or more. Despite this condi tion tha aales are bona fide. Hence the figures do not furnish a reliable Indi cation of the amount of business.

By careful lectlng he has gotten to gether a fine bunch of standard Jerseys and will ship two carloads from Inde pendence. In compliance with the state quarantine law the cattle bad to be In spected before they could leave the state, therefore Dr. Morel, of the State Veteri nary Board, and also a proressor In the Oregon (Agricultural College, together with B. N. Hawley. a senior or tha state school Inspected the cattle and out of H bead not one was condemned. nin lihrarv Is now an assured fact. President Fcrrln announced In chapel exercises today that the required $30.- t00 had been raised as sn endowment. In l0t Andrew Carnegie signified his willingness to give $20,000 for the erec tion of a library building here If an equal amount could be secured for a permanent endowment. The trustees decided that thia amount would not be sufficient to put up the building they desired. The Misses Falling and Mrs. Cabell. daughters of the late Henry Failing, of Portland, then offered $10,000. provided an endowment of $30,000 was raised be. fore Anrll I. lsll. Now that this amount haa been secured. It is hoped that Mr. Carnegie will Increase his offer to $30,000. making the library fund $60.- 000 Instead of tha present amount of $50,000. President Ferrln will take the matter up with Mr. Carnegie at once. IxMses by Fire Heavy. Since the offer was first made by Mr. Carnegie, Pacific has been unfortunate In losing two buildings by tire.- Mer rick Hall waa destroyed In 1906. and during the last year the academy build. Ing was lost. Considering these losses and the erection of a new $60,000 wom an's hall and a $25,000 gymnasium. there haa been such a financial strain on tne institution that the work of this library fund has been checked. There are other buildings that Pacific ia very much in need of. such as a scl ence hall, boys' dormitory, a music hall and a larger endowment ror the school, but It was considered advisable to secure the library building as one of the foremost needs. President Ferrln said that the school has at present a cash endowment of $220,000. Tha actual amount raised, aa an nounced today. Is $51,600. Of this amount, $31.C00 was given by friends or the school. The largest gift is that or the Misses Falling- and Mrs. Cabell, or Portland. Mrs. Frederick Billings, or New York City, recently sent a check ror $3000 to apply on a gift of $5000 which she has offered to the library fund. Mrs. Bill Ings Is a great friend of the instltu tlon through an acquaintance with the Marsh family, the first president of the college. Professor S. Marsh, and Pro fessor J. W. Marsh, who is still with the Institution. II. L. Plttock, of The Oregonlan. and the partner of the late Harvey V. Scott, one of the first graduates of Pacific, haa donated $2000. .Subscriptions of $1000 were made by each of the follow ing six persons: J. H. Converse, or Philadelphia: Jere mlah Walker, or the class of 100. Ho- qulatn. Wash.; w. B. Ayer, Portland; Mrs. P. J. Mann. Theodore B. Wilcox, president or the Oregon Development League, and W. M.

J. Kinney, or Astoria, and T. 11. Ad ams. 4. ot Vancouver. Wash. O. H. Marsh. A. L. Mills and W. H. Lewis, of Portland, gave $250 each. Tha new building will add materially to the working efficiency of the Institu tion. At present the 17.000 volumes are crowded in a small room with little spare ror reading tables. Suitable rooms for research work, for Govern ment publications and ror periodicals will still further Increase the advan tages this new library will offer. Though there are as yet no definite plana laid for the building, the erection of a commodloua and fireproof building will be started In the very neai future.

MAXWELL, Cutter aad Manager MAXWELL, The Tailor IMPORTER OF FOREIGN WOOLENS 246 WASHINGTON STREET PORTLAND, Or., April 1, 1911. To my Customers and Patrons : I beg to announce that my stock of woolens for Spring is complete, and am gratified to state that there is no nicer display of woolens in the latest fabrics in the city. These goods are imported from the most famous mills abroad, from such cities as Huddersfield, Manchester, Darlington and Leeds. The number of years I have been in Portland with the large patronage I have, enables me to buy direct in large quantities. You are well aware that any merchant who is able to buy his goods in large quantities for spot cish, buys for much less than through the i jobber. Therefore I will make you a suit from imported woolens for less money than ? you would pay for ordinary domestic fabrics elsewhere. i, During my opening week commencing today I will make up from the celebrated jj Scotch Tweeds, Bannockburns, Harris' and m y other weaves and colors, regular $40 1 and $45 suits your unrestricted choice for $32 9. In addition I will include in this special sale my celebrated West of England b ue worsted serges, which goods I can posi tively guarantee not to shrink, fade or shine and are of such weights that can be worn the year around. My regular prices on these goods are $45 to $50 but during my opening week I will give you unrestricted choice from sixteen full bolts of this serge for $37.50 with an extra pair of trousers of same material or stripe without additional charge. j Remember I use the highest grade of linings, such as mohair, serge, alpaca and 'il3 farmer's satin, as there is nothing gained in the long run by using cheap materials. I 1? adopted this policy in using high-grade trimmings in all clothes made by me years ago and that is one of the reasons why I now have the largest high-grade tailoring estab lishment with the largest patronage in the city of Portland. J do not have to brag about my reputation as a tailor, the years I have been in Portland with the thousands of suits I have made is enough to testify to my ability and integrity. All garments are cut by me personally and are all made on the premises under my personal supervision which you can see for yourself when you visit my store. Very truly yours, MAXWELL, The Tailor. he!

Fifty Ont Yard to Be) Charged Herrafter by Multnomah and Pay In Advance) Demanded. ORE9HAM. Or- March 31. SpecIal.) The price of sand and gravel haa gone up at the Gresham gravel pit by oraer of the County Court, and Road Super intendent Oeorge W. Kenney has re ceived strict orders regard'ng Its sale to the public for contracts and private road work. The county owns the pit: considered the tlnest In Eastern Multnomah, and really doesn't care to sell any sand or gravel, but has been accommodating the people at 25 cents per cubic yard and has even sold It as low as S cents for publlo roada Uirough private property; but everything la changed now and sand Is going to be too costly "to put in sugar hereafter." Mr. Kenney waa notified yesterday that J henceforth the price would be 50 cents a yard, and was ordered to fence In the gravel pit so as to prevent any of the valuable stuff from being stolen. He was also Instructed to arrest and prose cute anyone found taking sand or gravel without permission, and those who buy must pay for each load In advance. The order extends to all other gravel pits throughout the county and will be embarrassing to contractors and several others now making improvements with concrete. A new hotel building here. Just started, will require about 600 yards of sand and gravel and the new price will mean a difference of $300 to the contractors. A contract to gravel Roberts avenue waa let this week for SS cents a yard, based on the old price for gravel, but the town council has released the con tractor and will re-advertise for bids. About a mile of cement sidewalks were In progress of being laid, but many of them will not be built now except where the work Is too far along to stop. The new Commercial Club probably will take the matter up and-endeavor to secure some concessions favorable to pub lic streets that need Improving. from "Washington that the funds for trail extension and improvement are available, and that a force of 30 men will be put at work at trail-making as soon as the snow is out of the moun tains.
