teen placed In charge of the construc
tion, net with the building committee
at the university last night and a den
j nlta plan for the new structure was
agreed upon.
The new liberal arts building will be
one of the handsomest buildings .in Sa
lem. It will cover an area 76 by 160
' ' feet and will be located between the
-college of theology on the east and
. the present college of liberal arts on ths
" west.' The main entrance will face the
, soutu corridor of the caultol and be dl
reotly opposite that entrance to the
' state house.
The style of architecture adopted Is
Romanlsque. The building will be of
pressed brick trimmed profusely with
cut Stone, three stories high, with a
basement and ornate In design. Broad
steps tapering at the top will iaa up
10
to Imposln
- nf the build nc
i entrance will be larger than the others
oararlas on each ' four sides
of the building. The loggia at the main
and from It the way will lead directly
Into an immense rotunda finished In tile
or marble.
From this rotunda, which will be 85
feet in diameter, corridors IS feet wide
will lead to a.ch wing of the building
and a grand staircase will lead ud to the
upper stories. There will also be stair
cases in each wtng so that there will
be ample means of exit in case of fire.
Fire walls will be installed dividing
the building into three distinct units
for protection against fire. The front
loggia or porch will be 60 feet long and
17 feet wide, the others at the 'ends
and back of the building somewhat
smaller.
The floor plan for recitation rooms
and offices ss adopted is very conven
ient. The president's suite, registrar's
suite and board of trustees' room will
open Into the rotunda on the first floor.
Each office will have a cloakroom. On
the first floor will also be the physical
and chemical laboratories, with supply-
laboratory there will be a museum,
classroom and office for the Instructor.
There will also fee a lunchroom on the
third floor, a classroom for mathematics
and two extra recitation rooms, to be
used perhaps for geology and philos
ophy. 4
The building will be modern in every
detail. The plumbing will be sanitary
and the Plenum system of heating and
ventilating has been adopted, by which
the air in each room In us Is cbanged
very 15 minutes.
The architect, Mr. Tourtellotte, says
the work on the structure will begin
at once and he promises to have the
building ready for use, by January 1,
1909. The school authorities hope to
be able to move Into it for the begin
ning of the second semester next win
ter, at least, which will be near the
middle of February. Mr. Toutellotte has
had considerable experience In build
ing educational structures and It Is be
lieved is an efficient architect
THE MLAND EMPIRE
. BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN. ,
i . (Copyright, 108. by Frederic J. Hasktn.)
Spokane, May 18. If the plans which are being developed In the country
around Spokane do hot miscarry, ' Miss Columbia will add a new star to her
crown and another state to the Union. Between the Bitter Boot mountains on
the east, the Balmon River mountains on the south, the Cascade mountains on
the west and the Canadian boundary line on the north, there are about 40,000,
000 acres of territory cut off as completely from the country beyond it as the
Caucasus cut off southeastern. Europe from Aslatio Turkey and Persia, or as
the Alps divide 8 witserland and Italy.
This, territory belong to three states,
Idaho, Washington and Oregon, xne
6 people of northern Idaho cannot get to
their state capital without ' traveling
west through eastern Washington,
thence south through eastern Oregon,
and thence east to -Boise. Ths people
east of the Cascade mountains in wash
Ington are .said to be as much out of
sympathy with the other portion -of
their state as. that part of Virginia ly
ing west of the Alieghenlea was with
the rest of the Old TJominlon at, the
outbreak of the Civil war. And. the
people of eastern Oregon una very
lie in common with their own people
west of the mountains. But tnese iso
lated portions of the three states have
everything in common. Their Interests
are one, and now they want to get to
, gather and form a state out . of their
wonderful Inland empire.
There are nearly 16,000,000 acres of
Idaho territory in the boundaries of the
proposed new state.' The proponents
want the 45th degree of latitude,- which
.. now constitutes the northern boundary
of Wyoming, adopted as the norWiern
' boundary of Idaho and the southern
, boundary of the proposed new state.
This line will be extended to the 120th
- degree of longitude, which. In turn, car-
tied through to the British Columbia
. boundary, will form the boundary line
Between me states or wasnington and
' Oregon and the proposed new state. It
" Is planned, too, that the state of Oregon
shall give that part of Its territory
, lying east of the 120th degree of longt-
tude and south of the 46th degree of
latitnde to the state of Idaho. This
territory amounts to approximately 17,
: 100,000 acres.
Under the proposed boundaries of the
several states they would have the fol
lowing acreage: Washington, 24.000,
r.000 acres; Oregon, 88,000,000 acres;
laano, 6&,ouo,uoo acres, and the new
state, S7,000,0ii0 acres. Under the pres-
- ent status Washington has 42,000,000
acres; Oregon, 1. 005,000. and Idaho 68.
00,000. Washington would have to
, contribute 16.000. 000 acres to the new
tate, Oregon 6.000,000 to It and 1,000,-
000 to Idaho, and Idaho 16,000,000 to
the new state. .
A Oreat State.
with 87.000,000 acres, the new state
would ce larger than New York. Con
necticut and Rhode Island nut torether.
Oregon would be called upon to give up
about as much territory as there is In
the Whole ef the New Rnvland atntM
and Washington would have to transfer
enough to make a state larcrer than th
combined territory ef Maryland, Massa
Cluiselts and .Connecticut.
In the property values Oregon would
nave 10 give up some 670,000,000, and
Washington about a like amount. Idaho
would-get .back mere than she would
give away. . In population jeach one of
we stales wouia te caned upon to con

boundaries in the far west in the past
60 years, but all of these alterations
were made while the present states
were territories. At the time Oregon
was made a territory there were only
two territories in the northwestern part
of the United States west of the pres
ent state of Minnesota, namely, Oregon
and Nebraska. Oregon then extended
from the present California boundary
line to the Canadian border. The people
of the northern "part of the territory
found Salem, their state capital, cut off
from them by reason of the great dis
tance. An agitation was started which
resulted In the creation of the territory
of Washington. This new territory ex
tended east to the Rocky mountains,
and embraced portions of the present
states of Idaho and Montana As there
were but few inhabitants east of th
Cascade mountains, Olympla, then the
center of population, was chosen for the
capital.
now constituting the state of Idaho
"he discovery of gold in the territory
W constituting the state of Idaho
brought some SO.OflO miners there. The
territory of Idaho was then erected. It
embraced all of the present state of
Idaho, all of Montana, and the northern
part of the present state of Wyoming.
Lewlston was then the capital, but gold
discoveries In southern Idaho threw the
balance of population into that section,
and Boise succeeded as the territorial
capital. Thus the conflict of Interests
began early. After this was done thi
people of the Idaho panhandle wanted to
join the state of Washington. They
fought against overwhelming odds, but
finally got a bill through congress mak
ing it possible. But a Waterloo was
struck In the shaDe of a veto bv Presi
dent Cleveland, and so the proposition
has never been made a law.
Agitation Kept Alive.
This ldhg agitation was kept alive
by the fact that the two parts of the
state are separated by a well-nigh im
passable barrier of mountains. There
are no railroad connections whatever,
and only the crudest of trails and wagon
roads. In Washington there Is said to
be a deep-seated friction between the
eastern and the western portions of the
state, and that th,ere has not been a
legislature in 50 years where this con
flict of Interests was not in evidence.
In Oregon the same conflict of interests
Is to he found. In that state there is
only one state Institution east pf the
Cascades. This Is a small normal
school which leads a somewhat precari
ous existence by reason of the threats
of its abolishment by the legislators of
western Oregon.
In both of these states the western
half holds the control of the legisla
tures, and southern Idaho controls its
legislature. Thus the inland empire has
rather rough sailing under the present
condition of affairs, and Is lonefnr for
the perfection of plans which will give
ii rreeaom rrom outside control, it is
said that the people of the inland em-
fiire think more of their proposed state
han they do of the ones to which they
now owe allegiance. The reason for
this must, perforce, be the Identity of
Interests on the part of the people. The
basic resources of the inland empire are
agriculture, mining, lumberlnir and srs-
ing. and these have tended to brina
about a condition of homogenlety among
tne people.
The proponents of the plan sav that
statehood for the Inland empire Is bound
to come some day, and that the sooner
the better, since there win not he
many details to adjust now as In the
-ears to come, -rney bsk their respec
lve states not to view It as a matter or
secession, but as a move that must in
the end redound to the sood of all oar-
ties concerned.
States Hold Lands.
There has been little If any cession of
territory by states during: the past cen
tury. Virginia was liberal In her earlier
career, and gave many states to the
Union. But In recent times states have
preferred to keep what they have. The
ast Instance of the kind was the for
mation of the state of West-Virglnia.
west of tne Alleghanles were out of
sympathy with the movement. They
therefore held a convention at Wheeling
organised themselves Into a fictitious
legislature of Virginia, and then gave
Virginia's assent to the erection nf th
state or-west Virginia, estrange to say,
the constitutionality of this procedure
Is now before the supreme court of the
United States, indlrectlv trnwlnir
the Virginia debt case. When the West
Virginia demurrer to the Virginia Suit
was argued, counsel- for Virginia styled
the woceedlnrs of the WhnalinB- Jinn-
vent Ion and legislature nlom n lairoi
fiction. - At least one Republican mem
ber of the court agreed that it waa ii n.
constitutional, and could only be upheld
if at all. on the grounds of the extraor
dinary conditions arowlne- out nf tk
Civil war.
If the Inland empire la permitted to
come Into the Union as the state of Lin
coln, it will not only be among the
,arfTr tateB In else, but in riches ss
well. Even as it Is, this region is said
to be Increasing In nonnlatlnn .-.i
