DISPLAYS IN OREGON BUILDING TELL WONDERFUL STORY OF STATE RESOURCES AH Sorts of Grains, Grasses, Fruits. and Other Crops From Widely Scattered Sections Are Gathered to Prove State's Wealth Is Yet Untouched. UNSOLVED AT 01C. 12 PROBLEM IDS WORN NATIONS ASKED Higher Salaries Elsewhere Attract Instructors. ENROLLMENT IS GREAT 8300 Students Are in Attendance. Law Provides Finances for Xot More Than 2 0 00. ' OREGON AGRICULTURAL! COL LEGE. Corvallis, Jan. 10. (Special.) How to make resources meet the de mands of an institution with art) at tendance approaching 3300, with a millage maintenance appropriation designed to care for 2000 students or fewer, was the problem before the regents of the college in session here. The question was -far from solution when adjournment took place. Institutions all over America are bidding: higher and higher for pro fessors and instructors, it was pointed out. and there is danger that the in structional organization will be bro ken down through the lose of pro fessors taken to distant colleges and universities by lure of higher salaries. In the entire history of the college there has never been a time when its affairs so nearly approximated a crisis, it was declared. That imme diate relief is out of the question as the special session because of the tax limitation amendment is without the power to afford relief, was brought out. Any action in the way of assist ance must 'come from the people through popular vote and this in volves delay. Meanwhile with other institutions tempting the instructional force with offers of better pay the menace to the organization is dis turbing. Not even promises to meet the higher offers can be made because the increase in student attendance long ago strained the maintenance appropriation to the breaking point. Nor can provision be made for ad ditional building, it was pointed out, because all funds for that purpose were long ago swallowed up by the enormous increases in the cost of labor and material and the general maintenance requirements throughout the Institution. With nearly 3300 stu dents actually on the campus today and with every available classroom and laboratory over-crowded, the regents had visualized to them the enormous demands which they are called upon to meet from resources wholly inadequate for the purpose. Janitorial service cost ? 11,399 in 1915 which this year the figure is $21,900. Cost of heat has jumped from $14,908 to $38,000. The telephone and telegraph bill was but $1220 in 1915 while this year it will be $6600. Ex cessive increases in cost of main tenance are noted in every depart- ment in fact. 18 POLICEMEN PROMOTED OFFICERS ADVANCED SWORN IN. -VRE P. R.

STRANGERS visiting Portland may gain a comprehensive knowledge of Oregon's resources by a visit to the state exhibit in the Oregon building. Citizens of Portland are often astonished at the splendor of products thac grow under the guid ance of the skilled husbandman who till the fertile soil, combining the magic of moisture and sunshine to bring from the bounty of nature the riches of her stores. There is a window on the Fifth street side of the building that ap peals alike to the senses of sight and taste, with a remarkable display of . golden yellow pumpkins of huge size ' and perfect form, suggestive of the ! pies that come to the tables from the culinary laboratory of the finest cook in the world; alluring fruits of such size and color as to amaze the resi dent of less favored regions. Flame tokays from Wasco county, pears from Linn, apples from Hood River and other varieties of the orchard beau ties from many districts. There is likewise a showing of woods that is being augmented with specimens from various localities, but which attracts a great deal of In terest because of the rare beauty of the grain, marvellous width of single planks or extraordinary finish which the woods take. There are showings of myrtle, maple, Douglas fir., red fir and Port Orford cedar, both in their natural state and In finely fin ished products. ' Food! Atso Displayed. Under the direction df Mrs. Minnie Braden, state exhibit agent, the show ing of grains, grasses, forage, fruits, nuts and food articles that abound in the waters of the Pacific along the Oregon coast are shown in instructive array. Recently many of the coun ties joined in a movement to establish new stocks of their products In the most desirable form for educational purposes, . and it Is with these that the state exhibit agent has been busy since her installation in the place a few months ago. I'eifional .visits have been made to . , ... .j CENTER COAST COUNTIES. BELOW many ' of the counties, the co-operation of the county courts obtained, and collection of the products made and assembled in the rooms. Other counties have decided upon sending exhibits, that their localities may benefit from this opportunity tc at tract the attention pf intending set tlers. . Two large' panels of the wall space are devoted to exhibits arranged In artistic manner, one for eastern Ore gon and one for the Willamette val ley, on 'each side of the central booth that- is the office of the representa tive of the -state. That of the section lying east of the Cascades has an unusual showing of sheaf grain. Arranged in fan form, the. central feature is composed of pats, barley and wheat, with borders of alfalfa, and red top. fringed with a unique frieze of little club wheat that gives the appearance of the waving billows of a field of grain ready for the reaper. The base is a showing of threshed grain in glass jars, typical of the full berry and high quality that makes the grains of this region sought In the market. On a table that fronts the base is a showing of fruits from the same localities. Sherman, Union, Malheur, Morrow and Wasco counties are included in the showing. Tuber Crops Attractive. In another showing that charms the visitor from many sections less fav ored by the bounty of nature, is that of Crook and Deschutes counties, occupying a panel that is remark able for the root products. The base is a collection of potatoes, onions, carrots, parsnips, beets, turnips with two varieties of corn in the ear. The wall panel is a showing of oats, barley and wheat, with alslkr and clover forming the background. Above are placed paintings of Mount Jefferson with its snow-clad slopes suggestive of cool summer breezes. The Willamette valley section com prises a showing of forage and hay grasses of exceptional variety, cen tered with wheat in sheaf that indi cates - continued production of - the . ' " ..

Included in the grasses that are Indigenous to the region are mesquite, bluegrass, timothy, English and Italian rye, or chard grass, red top and tall meadow grass. There is also a display of vetches, that excellent forage crop of which farmers in many sections of the United States know nothing." but which is of such nutritive quality and worth as to make it the popular for age for domestic livestock.. Fruits, vegetables, root crops, and threshed grain make complete this showing of the valley district, including Wash ington, Clackamas, Multnomah and Polk counties. Flax Display Is Good. Lane and Linn counties occupy a separate panel, with special stress laid on the exhibits of barley, oats and corn. Vetch is shown In . this section that attained a height of 8 feet, and the entire collection is aug mented by a base composed of pump kins, and other products of the lowly vi nes that wither when the corn is in the shock and Jack Frost descend from the summit of the Cascades. There is one ease devoted to a showing of flax grown by farmers of Marion county and worked at the pen itentiary plant. It is shown in the sheaf, in each att.ge of the process by which- it is converted into raw material for the manufacturer and In bundles of tow, with a final exhibit of "heckled flax." The charm of the exhibit as a whole is difficult to describe and well worth the time and effort of a trip to in spect it. There are valuable lessons in the resources of soil and climate of Oregon in the jara and displays from hundreds of farms, orchards and gar den tracts of the state. In another section are mineral specimens that arouse interest in the mineral wealth of the mountains. Every visitor should see the exhibit, and it is a fortunate circumstance, that in che room is located the offict of the state chamber of commerce, just now doing an extensive work ia attracting new settlers to Oregon,- Mr. Glass Pleads for Austria, Poland and Others. $150,000,000 LIFT URGED Immediate Relief Held Necessary to Prevent "General Disintegra . tion" in Western Europe. WASHI.VOTa, Jan. 10. Loans ag gregating 1150.000,000 for food rel'ef in Austria. Poland and other European countries and Armenia, to prevent 7a general disintegration of political co hesion in western Europe," were pro posed to congress today by Secretary Glass, who said it might be necessary to increase this amount to 1 200,000.000 when the full situation In Europe had been assessed. . The secretary reviewed at length the condition in the suffering coun tries, particularly Austria and Poland, and said Great Britain. France and Italy were assisting In relievinc dis tress in Austria, through a $48,000,000 loan, and that England would con tinue to lend aid by furnishing ships for transporting American " food and such supplies as possible from the United Kingdom. Reviewing the situation in Austria. Mr. Glass said suffering was so great that the chancellor. Dr. Renner. had declared that a complete breakdown must occur by the end of January un less assistance were given from the outside. Serious Consequences Seen. "What " the effect of a genera! breakdown in Austria would be of course only can be conjectured," wrote Mr. Glass. "That it would be confined to Austria, however, seems highly im probable, and if it should spread, to Germany, Poland and possibly all Eu rope, the result would be no less than a general disintegration of political cohesion in western Europe. Such an event would be fraught with the most serious consequences for the United States and would certainly leave in Its wake severe suffering and thou sands of deaths among the poorer classes." Referring to Poland, Mr. Glass said the failure of the government there properly to ration its adult popula tion already had caused demonstra tions by the "reds" in Warsaw. Under the treasury department plans the loans would be advanced by the grain corporation out of the billion-dollar wheat guaranty fund and would be used to establish credits in this country on the basis of $70,000,000 for Austria, $50,000,000 for Poland, $25,000,000 for other European coun tries and $1,000,000 for Armenia. Securities Provided For. Some forms of securities would be obtained from the foreign countries before the loans would be made. As sistant Secretary Davis explained that the countries interested are consider ing such security from Austria, in cluding her national forests, tobacco monopoly and water-power sites. The food situation in Austria has been given serious consideration by the supreme council at Paris and sug gestions that the United States aid in relief work there have been made. Baron Eichoff, head of the Austrian peace delegation, appealed In a state ment published in this country today for aid for his people, who, he said, were threatened with anarchy and death by starvation during the win ter. Congress a year ago appropriated $100,000,000 for food relief in Europe and this was distributed through an International commission headed by Herbert Hoover.

BERGER SHUT OUT AGAIN (Continued From Ftrt Pace.) consin congressional district within a half hour after receiving the news that Victor L. Berger had been ex cluded from congress a second time, re-nominated him. The statement was made that he would be the can didate of the party at a special elec tion to be demanded from the gov ernor. "We will keep on nominating Berger until hades freezes over if that un-American aggregation called congress continues to exclude him," declared a statement issued by the committee. "We want every person in this country to understand that the vot ers of the fifth Wisconsin district know exactly whom they want as their representative in congress, and we do .not propose to let Glllett and his bunch of Wall street fawners dictate to us on the subject. "Berger is our representative and the action of congress in unseating him a second time only starts the real fight that will not end until every one of the reactionaries who voted In today's disgraceful proceed ings have been retired by the balfot to the oblivion they so richly de serve. ASSEMBLY'S STAND DEFENDED Speaker" Sweet Declares Ousted Members' Loyalty Is Doubted. NEW YORK, Jan. 10. The action of the state assembly in suspending the five socialist members was to de termine whether the organizations they represent "advocate methods or employ tactics" to bring about the overthrow of the government, Thad deus C. Sweet, speaker of the assem bly, declared in a letter to Charles E. Hughes, made public tonight. It was in reply to the former governor's let ter condemning the ousting of the so cialist assemblymen. Every patriotic citizen should with hold judgment. Speaker Sweet added, unyi evidence respecting the socialist party of America and other organiza tions had been presented to the ju diciary committee of the assembly before which the suspended social ists "will be impartially judged" as to their "rights and fitness to take their seats." The suspension follows the recent practice of congress. State Senator Clayton R. Lusk. chairman of the joint legislative committee, investi gating seditious activities, declared tonight. The assembly's action amounts to a challenge of the fitness to serve by the socialists "as Individuals," Sena tor Lusk said. Charges against them are based on evidence presented by the joint legislative committee, he added, although the committee is not the "complainant nor a party to the hearings." "The charge is that they, as in dividuals, personally stand" for the overthrow of .the established state and national governments by force and violence," Senator Lusk said. "Their affiliations with the socialist party, as now organized, and the Rand school, their attitude towards communism, and their, activities are simply evidence having a bearing on' the question of whether they individ ually are pledged to the violent and revolutionary overthrow of our government." nwinr ntmm The For tree planting genuine (JTantJj is most satisfactoiy The Giant Farm Powders Eureka Stumping and Giant Stumping loosen and pulverize the soil instead oi packing it and throwing it high in the air.
