THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 20, 1915. SCHOOL GETS PLANT Department of Journalism at "U" Is Beneficiary. H. R. KINCAID IS DONOR Complete Outfit, Five Irayloads, of Old Oregon State Journal, Is Turned Over to State Uni versity to Aid Its Work. EUGENE, Or., June 19. (Special.) Three days ago President P. L. Campbell, of the University of Oregon, told the alumni at their annual ban o.uet that donations and bejusts would be acceptable to the State Uni versity at this time. Yesterday the first response came and it was of an unexpected kind. The department of journalism was the Denericiarj -. The complete plant of the old-time Oregon State Journal, which, for 45 years, was a conspicuous factor in the Oregon newspaper field, was yesterday placed at the disposal of the journal ism department by W. It. Kincaid, of Kugene, representing his tatner, -i . rt. Kincaid. of Portland. The elder Kin caid was owner and editor of the Ore gon State Journal from 1S64 to 1909 when the publisher retired and th paper was suspended. Today the mass of material that was assembled by Mr. Kincaid during the half century in which he was engaged in Journalism was hauled to the university. It occu pied five drayloads. In the outfit is a relic the depart ment of journalism values highly the l'irst newspaper press brought to the state. The first press of any kind that came to Oregon is said to have been the mission jobber that was brought from the Sandwich Island in 1S39, but the first newspaper press came around the Horn a few years later, and upon It Oregon's first copy of a secular newspaper was turned out on Febru ary 5, 1846. at Oregon City. From 1846 to 1909, whn Mr. Kincaid ceased to pull off the Oregon State Journal on It. the press did yeoman duty. Its his tory will be framed and hung beside it at "the University. Judge Kincaid, who had lived a rig orous life as freighter and prospector In California and Oregon, from 1853 to 1860. purchased at Canyon City, Or., a paper, changing Its name to the Oregon Statesman which name continued until the Statesman died. The Statesman was a powerful political spokesman at all times. The Kincaid family purposes making up files of It for the entire 45 years one of which is to go to the university department of Journalism. The ancient press may ultimately go to the Oregon Historical Society. Mr. Kincaid was always a liberal purchaser. and although at times "fonts" have been "Junked," the dray had 119 cases to haul to the university campus. prasses," 'leads," "galleys" and other technical printing material Is plentiful. The $800 appropriated this week by the university board of regents to purchase the nucleus of a printing plant, instead of being devoted to pri mary material, can now be used to sup plement the Kincaid plant. This will put the department in much better po sition for its first year of laboratory work than It expected. ROSLYN ARRANGES FOURTH Sport Events and Parades to Bo Features of Celebration.

To such a man the Case Car affords a world of contrasts and comparisions. Here is a car built by a concern that has spent over seventy years in satisfying men. All over the world in every country the name Case is known as a standard of excellence. To the man who wants reat value we say no greater satis faction can be his than that derived from a Case Car. But it is not a matter of making an investigation any time. Only a few "30's" remain allotted to this territory. Which means that only a few men can partake of the opportunity to get this car now. We even fear some of our cars will be demanded by other territories. You know, of course, the excellence of Case design and Case workmanship. Let us show you where we spend where others must save. We sincerely believe no other car at the price can compare, item for item, with this Case 30. Especially when you figure in the added equipment we include as regular, such as Extra Tire and Extra Inner Tube on Rim with Tire Cover, Weed Non-Skid Tire Chains and 8-Day Clock. Delay is expensive. We advise all men who are about to make up their minds to buy cars, to come in at once, or to make an appointment, by telephone, for demonstration. JL L CASE T. M. COMPANY, Inc.. RACINE.
