PCGET SOOTD BUREAU. Seattle.
Wash., Aug. . Colonel George B.
Limping's formal statement of his
l,rogramme as a candidate for the
republican senatorial nomination In
this state, goes practically all the
way necessary to conform with the
national and international policies
of "William Randolph Hearst as out
lined from time to time through his
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
In the course of the firht It has
waged against Senator Poindexter
ever since he voted to ratify the
treaties of the International confer
ence, the Post - Intelligencer has
K!ven very clear Intimation of the
qualifications and pledges required
"f any candidate who sought its sup
port. Colonel Lamping's platform
eems to meet those requirements at
every point. Judged by the text of
his statement no reason remains
why his candidacy should not have
the full support of Mr. Hearst and
a his newspaper.
op port Still la DoaM.
Whether Colonel Lamping wi:i
have that support may still be a
matter of some doubt. The long in
terval between the beginning of the
Hearst fight on Poindexter and the
actual entry of an apparently "satis
factory" opposing candidate, gives a
good deal of support to surmises In
which political observers have been
ir.da".g:ng. to the effect that Colonel
Lamping was not regarded as the
hfst and strongest candidate to pit
against Poindexter. This has been
generally ascribed to a reluctance on
the part of Colonel Lamping to
treasure up to all the Hearst speci
f cations. His statement now shows,
however, that If he felt any such
reluctance it has ail been swept
away.
It is known that the Idea of sup.
porting a woman candidate appealed
for a time to the Post-Intelisaencer.
Mrs. Frances C. Axtell is said to
have been called Into conference and
g.ven much encouragement. But the
announcement of her candidacy,
sponsored by a nonpartisan group
rot especially representative of any
p iitical element, failed to produce
any important reaction. It is merely
to state a very evident fact, and
without the slightest prejudice, to
say that Mrs. AxteiS's campaign has
not been auspiciously begun. There
has been no uprising in her support
among the women voters of the
slate, to say nothing of the men.
In inducing her to bcoome a candi
date the important fact seems to
have been overlooked that the voters
of the state, men and women alike,
are still generally aligned with the
republican or democratic parlies;
and that a considerable number who
rr . Ight ordinarily be expected to
function as non-partisans are united
in determination on a third party
ticket and have their own senatorial
candidate in the person of James A.
Duncan, secretary of the Seattle
tmtral labor council.
Hearst May Aid l-amplna. -The
Post-Intelligencer has' had
time and opportunity to appraise the
weakness ef enthusiasm over Mrs.
AxteiS's candidacy, and to realize
that if Senator Poindexter Is to be
defeated in the republican primaries
some other candidate will have to do
the Job. Colonel Lamping's an
nouncement, meeting of Mr. Hearst's
wishes in detail and in full, may not
give proof positive that an agree
ment has been reached whereby he
is to be supported by the Post-intel-Pgencer,
but It must be regarded as
significant of such a possibility.

The supplement was prepared by

hup r.ot owned by Mr. Hearst, but

that squatter's rights have surely

are condemned: and Colonel Lamp
ing is not only against the league of
nations, but also notes the humiliat
ing position in which the country
his been placed by the four-power
pact.
State laawea Be Raised.
No one who knows Colonel Lamp
ing doubts that he did violence to
his own political Judgment In this
,tt concession to the wishes of Mr.
Hearst. Colonel Lamping knows
that the agreements of the Interna-
ticna! conference at Washington
were fcakled by every newspaper In
this state, save one. as triumphs for
American statesmanship, and that
on any square presentation of the
four-power pact as a political issue
i: would be approved by an over
whelming majority vote.
Colonel Lamping's statement
touches briefly upon conditions
wi-.hin the state and the needs that
ran be helped by national legisla
tion. One observation made in The
orecontan correspondence a few
da ago holds good: In the course
of bis campaign Colonel Lamping Is
going to have much to say about
state affairs. In h 1 opinion the
reactionary predatory forces" are
ust as busy here as elsewhere. He
i going to make a hard and fast
fight as a candidate for the senato
rial nomination: but there can be no
doubt that hi vision of the polit
ical future stretches t)uite a distance
beyond this year's primary election.
Anything that he can aay cr do In
this campaign to hurt the folks he
doesn't like euch as Governor Hart,
for example will be said and done

Josephine Connty Wonders Set

The great Interest that is now be
ing taken in the Josephine county
caves has brought to licht the fact
that the caves were made a national
monument by proclamation of Presi
dent Taft In 1909 as the result of the
efforts of J. N. Teal, at that time
!' chairman of the state conserva
tion commission, with his associates.
The following brief statement of

of architecture and the heads of the
other departments affected by the
fire.
The new structures will replace
the space lost by the department of
fine arts and will provide for the In- I
crease in the enrollment of the I
school of architecture. This will
give the school of Journalism, which
lost half of its available floor space,
the most convenient quarters of any
school of journalism in the west.
The plans also will take care of the
vastly increased enrollment of the
department of chemistry.
Health Offices Temporary.
The university health service,
whose offices were destroyed by the
fire, will take temporary offices in
the north end of Friendly Hall, for
merly occupied by the library. The
university is trying to obtain a gift
of $50,000. which would give the in
stitution a suitable infirmary.
The construction authorized in
cludes the completion of the archi
tecture quadrangle on the north side
of the campus, with a building of
fine arts and normal arts. The part
devoted to the loan collections wilt
be fireproof.
In connection with the rebuilding
of the quarters for fine and normal j
arts is a movement to replace the i
lost exhibit material with loans. Not I
only are a large number of valuable i
canvases expected as loans, but
there will be available from time to
time national art collections which
circle about the country for exhibit.
Floor Space Increased.
The enclosed court of the quad- j
rangle will be made harmonious and j
beautiful. Floor space available for
the department will be Increased by '
one-third to provide for the in- j
creased enrollment. The architec-
ture school with its departments of
architecture, fine and normal arts, j
last year showed a gain of nearly I
100 -per cent In Its number of stu- I
dents. Between 300 and 400 majors I
In these departments are expected
next year.
Provision for journalism and
chemistry will be made In the new )
annex to the east side of McClure '
Hall. The new building will be
r-0x80 feet, three stories in height
and of brick construction.
The space on the three floors, has
been divided equally between these
two departments, with the provi
sion that as soon as a new chem
istry building is obtained McClure
and Its annex will be devoted en
tirely to journalism. The old jour
nalism "shack" will be moved
southward and still will be used by
the journalism school, giving that
i-chool. adequate housing, for the
present, for what Is now one of the
best equipped schools of Journalism
in the country.
Authority to add another mem
ber to the teaching faculty In jour
nalism was granted by the regents.
The school had 142 major students
last year, having shown remarkable
lirowth.
Annex Previously Planned.
The expansion In the space for
chemistry already had been decided
before' the fire and plana had been
completed for a $13,000 annex to
McClure hall for chemistry alone.
This department, which forma a
basis for the work of the medical
school as well as for science, was
using last year no more space than
was granted it when the entire uni
versity enrollment was no more
than its enrollment now Is, approxi
mately 400.
The administration's plan. Presi
dent Campbell said today, is to rush
construction In the building to be
ready for the fall enrollment in Oc
tober. In any event this date will
not be missed far. it Is expected, and
provision will be made for tempo
rary housing should construction be
delayed.
Members of the board at the meet
ing were A. C. Dixon of Eugene,

The action taken followed authori
zation by all absent members of the

cording to several leading livestock
men of Umatilla county, who de
clare that alfalfa hay prices will be

the upward awing in the hay price.

Higher hay prices that prevail for

under the average yield. Although
yields of wheat are spotted much
more ha usual, the average yields
are in excess of what were esti
mated before harvest started.
From as low is eight and nine

Newg of Conrow's absconding, to

to his friends. He was prominent in
golfing circles and took an active
interest in many of the civic affairs
of the city. He was receiving a sal

which brought It up to about $500
