CAMPUS TO BE ENLARGED

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
'Or., July 18. (Special.) An impor
tant meeting of the university regents
'will be held here on July 25, at which
'time arrangements will be made for the
construction of xme or two additional
buildings for the campus, for the pur
chase of additional land and for gen
'eral repairs and Improvements In and
-ebout the university.
Owing to the overcrowded .condition
cf the present buildings, it Is quite
likely that another recitation hall will
foe erected between Deady Hall and the
new library. Other buildings that are
being talked of are a large dormitory
for women, and an addition to the en
gineering building. Owing to the late
ness of the season and the time that
'will be required for the drawing up of
plans, It is unlikely that any work of
importance will be commenced before
Spring". This means that none of the
new buildings will be ready for use be
fore September, 1909. There are a
number of repairs and improvements,
however, . that will be made at once,
uch as the furnishing of the women's
l clubhouse and the lighting and heating
.of the library.
More Land Needed for Campus.
One of the gravest problems that
confronts the regents ie the purchase of
additional land for the campus. The
university has an option on the Klncald
football field and it is certain that this
ground will be acquired and used as a
site for future buildings. This means
that the students will be forced to se
cure another athletic field within the
next year or two. There are several
other tracts of land adjoining the
campus that the university needs badly,
but owing to the increase In land values
In and about the City of Eugene, only
a limited amount of ground can be
purchased. When the Legislature
passed the memorable Eaton bl.ll, ap
propriating $125,000 per year for the
university, land values were 30 per cent
' lower than they are at; the present
time. Had the university been able to
'use the funds when the bill was first
passed, instead of waiting for the vote
on the referendum, more than $10,000
1 could have been saved.
Costly Improvements to Be Made.
As the $126,000 appropriation commenced
to run during the year 1907, there is now
a balance of about $75,000 in- favor of the
'University In the office of the State
'Treasurer. This amount represents the
difference between the old appropriation
jof $47,500 per year and the new appro
priation of $125,000. This fund will be
considerably Increased by the time the
new buildings are completed, as not more
'than $90,000 a year will be required for
(maintenance. It Is estimated that about
'JlfO.OOO will be spent for buildings and
permanent Improvements by September 1,
1909. This means that the University will
'then be in a position to accommodate the
, large student body that it Is certain to
have by that time.
President Campbell Going East.
President Campbell will go East Imme
diately after the meeting of the regents
end will -secure the services of a number
f additional Instructors who will be on
'hand when college opens In September.
He will also visit a number of btg Insti
tutions of learning in the East and Middle
"West.
The Registrar's office is flooded with
Applications from prospective students,
nd it is certain that there will be an
enrollment of not less than 550 during the
coming year. The freshman class will
.contain upward of 250 students as com
pared with a total freshman enrollment of
ltlO for last year.
iFUNERAL OF J. F. CAPLES

GATHERS HISTORICAL DATA
It. E. Gosnell, British Columbia
Archivist, Visits Portland.
R. E. Gosnell, for more than 20 years
a resident of Victoria, B. C. and for
some time past the editor of the British
Colonist of that city, was In Portland
yesterday for the especial purpose o
examining the collections of the Ore
Lgon Historical Society. For a number
jef years prior to his editorial conneo
Ition with the Colonist he was the II-
fbrarlan of the Legislative. Assembly of
British Columbia and Secretary of the
Bureau of Provincial Information. Re
cently he resigned his editorial chair
to accept the position of archivist of
the British Columbian government, a
: position which he Is eminently quall
j fled to fill with great credit, owing to
j-Tils Intimate knowledge of all affairs
relating to British Columbia. He ex-
ipecui lu niana a, special Bluay or all
fcthe data concerning the early develop
ment of his particular field, and Inci
dentally of the entire Pacific North
west. He was In London not long ago
examining records of the English gov
ernment and the Hudson's Bay Com
pany respecting the Pacific Northwest,
and found much that will be of great
Interest to all the region affected di
rectly or indirectly by the operations
of that company.
This material is being copied under
his direction and in due time will be
published and thus made accessible to
the student of Pacific Coast history.
Since the headquarters of the Hudson's
Bay Company were at Vancouver, (now
in Washington, it may be seen that Mr.
Gosnell's work Is destined to be of
great Interest to this particular
locality.
Mr. Gosnell is now at work prepar
ing for the celebration of the 100th
anniversary of the discovery and .de
scent of the Fraser River. British Co
lumbia, by the intrepid Simon Fraser,
who thought he was descending the
Columbia. This celebration will take
place about September 25, at Victoria.
It Is the Intention of Mr. Gosnell to
have as large a number of representa
tive Pacific Coast historians present as
possible.

BIG FIGHT CERTAIN
Council Will Tackle Problem of
Women in Saloons.
ORDINANCE-UP WEDNESDAY
Councilmen Are Divided and Beld
ing Says He W ill Propose to Class
Hotels That Serve Liquor,
With Saloons.
There will be a strenuous time in
the City Council next Wednesday, when
the proposed ordinance barring women
from saloons comes up for considera
tion. ' All - kinds of objections will be
hurled at It, the most sensational of
which will be by Councilman Belding,
who yesterday declared himself in fa
vor ct legislation that will also wipe
out drinking in the hotels and cafes
of the city. . Other members will make
the charge that the ordinance is in
favor of special Interests, and that, it
works for the particular interests of
the hotels as against the saloons, al
though the latter pay the high licenses.
The biggest kind of a row is sure to
result when the matter comes up for
action. ,
"They talk about the evil of the sa
loon," said Councilman Belding yester
day, "but I contend and can show that
hotels, such as some that are located
in the heart of this city, lure to ruin
more young women than all the saloons
put together. You can't get a girl
to go into the so-called low saloon, but
it is comparatively easy to persuade
any unsophisticated girl to enter a ho
tel or cafe, under the pretense of get
ting a meal; then purchase a little
liquor, dull her senses and s.he is un
able to protect herself. If it is the
desire to clean up conditions, I will
fight for a law to prohibit the indis
criminate sale of liquor to women In
hotels and cafes, and I-wlll prove to
any fair-minded man that my position
is right.
"Another specially vicious and start
ling feature of this city today is its
Chinese noodle establishments," con
tinued Councilman Belding. "These
places sell . liquor to anyone, old or
young, and are the most vicious resorts
in Portland. It is easy to get a girl
to go Into one of them on the pretext
that it is 'a nice novelty to visit a
noodle house; but the results are so
baneful that, in my opinion, "the Council
ought to revoke every one of their
liquor licenses at once. I favor the
revocation of every hotel liquor license
in this city right now. It is coming to
the point where people will have to
buy what liquor they want to use and
drink it at home, if this indiscriminate
sale' is continued, for It is so ruinous
that it Is positively appalling. If the
Council Is contemplating a measure to
regulate the sale of liquor to women,
let it pass an ordinance that will cover
all of these evils."
Councilman Cottel, chairman of the
liquor-license committee of the Coun
cil, opposes the ordinance, as be says
that it is calculated to benefit the ho
tels to the detriment of the saloons.
Couiicilmen Wills and Driscoll will sup
port the proposed measure, and it is
known that Councilmen Cellars and
Bennett favor it. Owing to Its drastic
provisions, making it one of the most
severe laws ever considered by the
Council, It now seems certain that it
will bring about one of the greatest
battles ever fought in the Council. It
is highly recommended for passage by
City Attorney Kavanaugh and Chief
Deputy Grant, who declare it' to be the
most important ordinance as to the
regulation of the public morals ever
Introduced before the Council. ' The sa
loon interests are strictly opposed to
its passage. The ordinance is fathered
by Mr. Driscoll.
STREETCAR MEN OFF DUTY
RELAYS TO IVTADE THE OAKS
THURSDAY.
Sports and Baby Show Expected to
Attract Big Crowd and Swell
Benefit Fund.
All is in readiness for the annual
picnic of the streetcar men next Thurs
day at the Oaks, when the motormen
and conductors of the city trolley lines
will cavort all day long and far into
the night. Because of their duties at
the controller and ticket punch, the
carmen will have to visit the park in
relays. They will come and go as their
runs demand, but during the day and
night all will have sufficient time off
duty to share in the festivities at the
local Coney Island. The men have ar
ranged with the company to make a
night of it and will run cars as late as
necessary to carry the crowds home.
From the number of tickets sold by
the streetcar men for the picnic, it
looks as though there would be a record-breaking
crowd visit the pleasure
'resort on Thursday. There is keen ri
valry between the trolley men to see
who will sell the most tickets. From
the way these are being disposed of, it
looks like there will be 50.000 people
pass through the turnstiles at the Oaks
on picnic day.
A baby show will not be the least
attractive feaure of the day. There
will be many entries, it Is said, for this
exhibit and the contest for first honors
will be keen.' Prises are worth striving
for and there will be some of the pret
tiest babies In the city on parade. ,
, Athletic events promise, to be -unusually
interesting. The streetcar men
are expert In a number of stunts and
the different barn crews are organ
izing tug-of-war teams. This concest
is expected to be closely fought out.
Proceeds of the picnic will go to
swell the treasury funds of the Broth
erhood of Electric Railway - Employes
of the Portland Railway, Light &
3"ower Company, a worthy organization
which distributes benefits to members
who are sick or Injured and to their
dependent families in case of death.

ly the only charge which Mr. Currle
makes In his bill for dissolution of part
nership is that Mr. Case In taking orders
from customers did not secure enough
cash . to - cover the- purchase of stocks
and bonds by the firm and that the Arm
in this way became obligated to others
to the extent of J1.O45.O0O. According to
Judge Mandell. Mr. Case admitted this
charge. -
Mr. Currle stated today that the re
ceivership had been determined upon after
a' thorough Investigation of the Unn's
troubles as the best way of weathering
them and the promising manner of col
lecting the heavy indebtedness of custom
ers whom they had been carrying on their
books. .
The firm issued a statement this aft
ernoon in which they declared that
ability of the firm to pay its debts de
pended wholly upon, how much of the
outstanding accounts, amounting to $1,
045,000. an be collected. They say If
60 per cent of the accounts prove good
the firm will be able to pay its debts
in full. The statement also says that
the firth's embarrassment- Is entirely
due to the failure of customers to make
good their margins.-
. It is said that the liabilities total In
the neighborhood of from J600.000 to
700,000. Of the indebtedness It is said
$500,300 .owed to 'various banks and
trust companies, many of them In the
