EASTMOSTFAVORABLE Will Lipman rSays Hard - to Believe How Much Bet- ; ; ter Conditions Are.1 Th bankers of JPortland put their stamp of approval on the Fifth Annual Automobile show that la being held at the armory. Tenth and Coucb ; streets, last night. During the evening seven or eight of Prtland"s .best known fi nancial men appeared at the saow and displayed much Interest In the differ ent exhibits. J. C. Alnsworth of the United States National bank showed a thorough -knowledge of the mechanical construc- ' tion of many of the best make ma chines being exhibited arid on several occasions put questions to the sales men that staggered them regarding certain features of their own exhibits. " EUlolt Corbett Of the First National bank was also present and pronounced ' th show one of the best he has ever attended on the Pacific coast. - Regardless of the fact that tomor row night, Friday, has been set asida by the thow committee as society night, many of Portland's society folk were recognized among the large . attendance. The addition of women In evening clothes added greatly to the beauty of the display, The ahow committee Bent a special Invitation to the officers of Vancouver barracks to be present tomorrow night as the guests of the Portland Automo bile Trade association. Although dell nlle acceptance- has not yet been re ceived. It is thought there will be no doubt about their accepting. The bright uniforms, of .the army officers will add. color and dash of Just the right sort to society night. Better times, - renewed business activity and confidence are before the nation, according to the personal ob servation of Will Lipman of Ijlpman, Wolfe & Co., who is now In the east. Writing to members of his firm here in Portland from New York Mr. Lip- man says in part: "In Chicago and here In New York the outlook for business la better than it has been for two years. It is hardly believable how changed things are and how people talk; every one is optimistic and the president's trust message is most flatteringly and fa vorably commented on by all the papers, this morning and last night "On every hand, Wilson is highly commended by Republicans, as well as Democrats. lie has certainly created confidence, which Is the basis of all business. "Money is 4 Vi - per cent, which is lower than for the longest time. I believe there will be a great country-wide reaction towards better times in all sections."

To the Editor of The Journal All sorts and conditions of men seem to be taking a hand in the argument whether the board, of higher curricula bhAuld award that teaching of civil engineering to the University of Ore gon 4T to the State Agricultural col lege. As one of the first regents of the college, the first secretary of the bn&rd. a member of the executive com mittee and the sole survivor of the committee of three who arranged the first curriculum of college studies, it Is natural that I should wish to be heard in this discussion. For five and twenty years we have been urging the college on. to extend its courses, enlarge its classes, lm Prove Its eauiDment. enlist more fjtcultv members and demand niche qualifications from both teachers and students. For the first time in its history we see now an arbitrary purpose to dis member one of its most important, even obligatory, groups of studies. Costly equipment for such teaching has been gathered at great cost, through a series of years, and at great expense to the state of Oregon. The removal of such special teaching to the university Involves the duplica tion of that equipment, as one of the important outlays involved in such change. College Beneficiary of Government. It seems to be forgotten by many of our citizens that the Agricultural col lege is the special beneficiary of the federal government. By the accept ance of the very large appropriations. coming from Washington to the col lege, year by year, under the Morrill act, the Hatch act, and subsequent ex tensions the state of Oregon bound Itself to construct buildings, provide experimental grounds, and - furnish thorough equipment, whereby instruc tion in "agriculture and the mechanic arts" should be secured to students of the then, passing, and of future genera tions. , , 1 By a liberal, but reasonable, ' inter p relation of the term "mechanic arts. shown la ' the ' curriculum : of - the col lege submitted to ' the officials at Washington, and by the detailed an nua.! accounts of the purposes for which such appropriations were spent. the purpose of the board of regents of the college to extend the teaching to what Is generally termed "applied sci ence" was made clear. By - the con tinued approval of the Washington authorities their sanction of ' these plans cannot now be challenged. ' So precedents were established - under which the development of the useful ness of the college is known to all men. Two Schools Are Opan. The college provides for the first two years of its. course instruction in the usual branches of a liberal edu cation. Thls conforms to the law of its constitution under the Morrill act. Then' there are two great and wide schools opened to its students. One is in agriculture and Us allied or evolved subjecta the other in engi neering. In its various branches. In that there are Included civil engineer ing, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, ' mining engineering, and irrigational engineering. Grouped with these are geology, mining, forestry and land surveying. In the entire course the college stu dent has the special aim set before him of practical preparation for the special line of work which he eventually adopts. It needs but little thought to be con vinced how Intimately these subjects are connected, one with the other.' To eliminate one is to destroy the sym metry of the whole course. Shall the college have to say to the engineering student who desires to specialize In one cf these subjects', ' Very sorry, but we are not allowed to carry you any further If you resolve to qualify yourself further in civil engineering BAY CITY VOTES FOR MUNICIPAL WHARVES for on Bond Issue $5500. yon must leave the college . ana a elsewhere, to new teachers, new -co m- .... . . .. fresh start in your term of prepa-l ration"? . Seals With Appllad ScUaaa, J Or, take the common every day ex perlence that an intending student In I engineering is attracted by the variety i of the college engineering studies, and ' f'eTe Will at Once Be Called rpeclallse. Bhall he be debarred from these all round opportunities by thj intimation that the door to civil engi neering is shut for him? I sincerely trust that it is not too late to recall all interested to the plain distinction between these two great schools each of which is an honor to so young and sparsely settled a state. The college deals with ap plied science. The university's special 'functions may well embrace teaching in literature and art. In languages. In the exact sciences, in all the branches of history, in sociology, in the learned professions of law, medicine and the higher teaching. In domestic science, and in - natural science as commonly taught In universities in the United States. Surely this field is wide enough. . WALLIS NA8H. ONLY FOE Gaa Explodoa U Dttrott. Detroit.

We make nowarranty whatever in respect to tires, rims, igni tion, apparatus, lamps, gas , tanks, signaling devices, generators, batteries or other trade accessories, inasmuch as they are war ranted separately by their respective manufacturers. Howard Guarantee The Howard Automobile Co. will, at their place of business in this city, make such replacements as are allowed under the Buick warranty, and will install such replaced parts free of charge to the Buick owner. ; Howard Service The word "service," as applied to the automobile buyer, has been given a new definition by the Howard Automobile Co., Pa cific coast distributors of Buick automobiles, through the inaugur ation of what is probably the roost comprehensive, service as yet established on the sPacific coast. The lubrication of an automobile is the most important item in its maintenance, and. the attention that is given to lubrication de termines to a great extent the life of the car. To insure the proper attention to this important detail, we have ' inaugurated a service System which will enable Buick owners to have their cars looked over and oiled once a -week for a year with out labor charge. This system consists of a card bearing the owner's name, the date of purchase, the model of his car and number of the motor. The card is divided into two sections', one contains a list of the chief mechanical features, the other a list of the principal points needing lubrication. ; The border of the card is made up of a series of squares which are numbered from 1 to 52. When a car is purchased, one of these cards is made out and turned over to the head of the Service Department, who files it with the next week's cards- The new owner is instructed to bring his car to the 'Service Department once each week and have it looked over and oiled. When, this inspection is made, the man in charge of the work makes a note of any parts that are being neg lected. This enables the' Service Department to give such further instructions to the owner as may be "necessary. When the car is delivered back to the owner, the ! service card is punched in the No. 1 square and advanced to the next week's file. This operation ' is repeated 52 weeks. Should an owner neglect or forget to bring his car in for inspection, his card will be found in the file at the end of the week and a noteisent him calling attention to the over sight , r j. .- -x Howard Automobile Co. !
