The course followed, had been from Mississippi avenue, running over the brow of the hill, from Skldmore street south to Shaver. ' The officer charged that the truck bad traveled at a 27-mile rate.

MERGER PROPOSAL INTERESTS ALU M N Pacific University Signifies Willingness to Unite With x Albany Institution. BIG BENEFITS FORESEEN No Definite Action Has Been Taken Yet by Either Institution on Move Indorsed toy Resolution of Forest Grove Trustees. Members of the alumni of both Pa cific University, at Forest Grove, and Albany College, at Albany, were deeply interested yesterday in the possibility of a merger of the pioneer educational institutions. Pacific University is the second old est college in Oregon. It was founded in 1849. Albany College has also had an interesting history. As affairs stand no aennite action has been taken by representatives of either school in regard to the proposed merger. Trustees of both have the plan under advisement, however, and it doubtless will be one of the prin cipal topics of discussion at the annual meeting of the board of trustees of Al bany College, to be held at Albany, June 13. Mercer SucKested by Trusteee. "Th nunntion of the merger was first suggested by friends and trustees of both institutions." said S. B. Hunting ton, a member of the Pacific University board of trustees, yesterday. "At a meeting in February the trustees of Pacific University adopted a resolution declaring their willingness to unite the two colleges. "This resolution expressed the bener that such a union would be to the best interests of both and of higher educa tion in the Northwest. It made no con ditions or terms whatsoever, but au thorized the executive committee to communicate to the trustees of Albany College the willingness of Paclflo Uni versity to consider a union of the two." Members of this executive commit tee, which communicated the resolution to the Albany board, Mr. Huntington said, were E. P. McCornack. of Salem: Dr. C J. Bushnell. president of Pacific University; Harrison G. Piatt and him self. No Definite Action Taken. "That la the status of the matter at this time, no definite action having been taken by trustees of eltner institution. As it stands, there has simply been a proposal from the Pacific university trustees of their willingness to discuss a union. "Some time following the adoption of the resolution, several trustees of Albany College held a luncheon in Port land, to which some of the Paciflo Uni versity trustees were invited. The question was Informally discussed. Mr. French, of the Presbyterian Educa tional Board, of New xorit, at mis luncheon expressed his approval of the proposed consolidation." Mr. Huntington empnaucaxiy aenieu that President Bushnell had gone East and consulted tne rresoywnan rsoa.ru of Education in the endeavor to enlist their support. "Dr. Bushnell has not been East and he has had no interview with the Pres byterian Board of Education." he said. "There had been absolutely no attempt by Pacific University to force Albany to come to Pacific xnat pnase ot tne proposed merger has hardly been dis cussed. It was the desire to leave that to be worked out later If the proposal to unite should be received favorably." Discussions mo Far Informal. Fletcher Linn, of the Albany College board of trustees, said that as yet the merger had been discussed only In an informal way. "Nothing has been definitely eetuea about it." he said. "It will come up at the meeting of the Albany College trus tees on June 13. ana a aecision may do reached at that time." Pacific University has a paid-up en dowment of $235,000. in addition to an Investment of approximately $260,000 In buildings, some of which are modern, and grounds. Albany College has an endowment of $250,000. It had been planned to erect new buildings for Al bany College on grounds donated to the college on condition that they be used for college purposes. SGHOOLGARDENSTHRIVE GROWTH , RETARDED BY LATE FLANTIXG DUE TO RAIX. Greatest Difficulty Is Thinning as the Touussters Find It Hard to Pull I'p Good Vegetables. School garden work has been active during the past two weeks as the weather has been fairly good for this work. Whenever the weather permits, children can be seen out in the gardens Industriously weeding and thinning out their respective plots? Most of the gardens are considerably behind those of previous years owing to the bad weather in April, which de layed planting. It was the Intention of W. H. Dunham, supervisor, to have all gardens except the popcorn and po tato pieces, planted before the Easter vacation but the cold rains during the mouth held back the work until well on in May. The gardens that were planted early are in splendid condi tion. At the Creston school the garden is ln a protected place end was planted early. The children in this school are enthusiastic about the work and are being encouraged by their principal. Mrs. All hands. One of the hardest difficulties to overcome is proper thinning. Pupils are not Inclined to pull up perfectly good vegetables so as to let the remain ing ones have room to mature. Practi cal demonstrations of this work are being given. DECLAMATORY TEST HELD John.
