This Inspiration has counted for
more than all the other features of the

Gentlemen: This is to tell vnu that I
appreciate the information and the

kindly sent me. Also. I received In-
formation from all along the line.
"truly, the last west is the best

"Me! I'm well pleased at the pros

but I'm coming, sure.

That's the kind of letter that shows
that the writer was enthused: it cer
tainly makes Mr. McMurray enthused,
and It shows that- everyone who con
siders tha advantages to be gained by
living in Oregon must be enthused
The Portland Chamber of Commerce

St. Ignatius Schoool at Forty-First and Powell
Fully $70,000 has already been spent
by the Jesuit father of tha Catholic
church in establishing near the end of
the Waverlv-Kichmond carlina their
headquarters for all tha territory west
of the Rocky mountains. - This includes
tha building of a school and provin
cial headquarters while probably much
more will ba spent improving tha lo
cation In the future.
Tha establishment of the- Jesuit
headquarters hera haa been going on
aver since the Ban Francisco fire
when their headquarters In 8an Fran
cisco were destroyed. They have built
a school for Catholic children, and also
a building In which the provincial
headquarters sre located. Father
Oeoree Dels Motte Is the provincial.
The Jesuits ara a branch of tha
priesthood of tha Catholic chtirch.
which takes for its work the task Of
educating tha Catholic ' children, of
tha country. They hare achoole all
over the United States. In Santa
Clara. Kan Francisco. Fpokane and
Seattle on the Pacific coast, and In
many eaatern-cities they hare colleges
An Colombia university already pro
vides tha children of the Catholic
church hera a place for their higher
education no effort will be made to
establish Jesuit collee-e here. i
