, Student Wish . to Take Vp En
gineering, but tho Facilities for
Them Are Quite Inadequate.
Or. P. L. Campbell, president of the
University of Oregon at' Eugene, ar
rived In Portland today. .- He declares
that ths needs of- the university are
growing far beyond the equipment and
present Income received from the state.
He said that the total number of stu
dent now attending the university I
too, with 121 In the undergraduate de
partments, v . - i .
This is an excellent ' showing oom-
!feanwirninrte of wjual population
and which, by -the way, have revenue
from their respective state greatly tn
excess of the amount allowed by Ore
gon. To remedy this condition a bill
will ''bo Introduced at the present fee
lon of the legislature asking that the
present annual . allowance from the
state be Increased, from ' 147.800 to
1125,000 a year, although at the present
rate of growth the university will clear
ly, need 1 17.000 a year tor maintenance
and building alone.
': :What X Most Weeded. ,'"".
in speaking of .th "needs of the uni
versity and the work that is being done.
Dr. Campbell said: - --
"The growth of the university ha
been so rapid that the appropriation
ha proved deficient to meet the -needs.
Our increase of student over last year
amounts tol t per -cent,- - which--means
that by the time the legislature meet
two years from .now we.wl have 600
undergraduate enrolled,, We must keep
the educational facilities of the state In
pace with the ether movement that are
making Oregon one of the most pro
gressive states In the Union.
- "The need of the university 'are felt
more in th engineering department than
In any other branch.- A very, large per
centage of the young men attending
the Institution are taking up engineer
ing work, and our present equipment
and building are far below what we '
hould have In order to make that de
partment. the leading on on the coast, ;
Th nature of our country demand en
gineers, and the young-men of
todaj
are realising that fact. In no part of
the country Is the demand for engineers
so great a in the northwest, and -it
behoove Oregon to that we Jturn ;
out the beat. for. only the best are
wanted In this particular technical
branch of work? r .-
Z I :": . tUl Short of estimate. -rr
The bill that will je introduced ask
ing for. an annual - appropriation ; of
1123,000 Is timely and represent the
growing demands that are being made
because of the increased number of
students.-. The amount specified -la tar
abort of ths estimates which I ' have
made. We really need about $170,000
a year to conduct our work and erect
the .buildings that are necessary. Of
the money that la needed-' much will
have to be spent for salaries, for the
faculty must be Increased to keep up
"Another thing for which money must
be spent In the near future Is for a
girls' dormitory. W will also ask for !
more land and expect to spend about
123,000 - to secure new property. At
present w bave only 27 acres and the
money we ask 'for will only give u
bout U acre more.' . , .

cording to a table made In 1004, Waah-ingtotv-with-a

demn th management of th Northern

failure to provide trackage, rolling

manda of traffic.
Senator Paulhamua, leader of th antt

Attoraey Clash. - .
Clashes between attorney enlivened
the cession. More than 100 lumbermen .
from all parta of western Washington
war in attendance to press charges
against th-Hlll road, that thay had
failed to deliver more than IS per cent

very start of the proceedings. General .
3. M. -Ashton, representing the lumber
men, and Attorney Cannon for th BUI -roads,'
showed a disposition to clash, - '
bitterly contesting every potat, Cannon '
objected to a majority of th testimony,
declaring it wa hearsay and could not
be proved In a court of law. - ,
Stat Senator Paulhamu of Plrc

A feature ot th proceeding 1 th
fact that th regular stenographer of .
the commission being 111, Commissioner
Lane requisitioned a stenographer from
the Union Paciflo office at Portland.
Th fastest ktenographer at th Port-"'
land office wa sent here, and I now ' :
the only man taking down th testi
mony. It seem atrang to many that
a "-railroad stenographer, naturally .
friendly to tho roada, should hav th'
only record of th proceeding taken In '

ot which he was formerly an employe, '
and now on leav" of absence from.
Commissioner Lane declared thl. jnorn-
lng:
"W ar not seeking - to- haraes th

tion and to suggest th remedy."
The roads have an entire day tomor
