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."

By a transfer of stock formally con
summated today. John S. Beall retires
from the firm of Beall & Co., whole
salers and jobbers of roadmaking ma
chinery. The new owners of the con
cern are C. W. Hodson, E. L. Thomp
son and W. O. Feenaughty.
Mr. Feenaughty was chosen president
of the reorganized company, Mr.
Thompson vice president and Mr. Hod
son secretary. Mr. Beall will devote
his time to the manufacturing concerns
in which he is interested, and expects
to do considerable Independent work in
the cause of good roads.
The firm -efHBeall & Co. was organ
ized In November, 1901, with a capital
stock of $5000. It is now a $50,000
corporation and is said to be the only
concern in the United States handling
road machinery exclusively. Its of
fices and salesrooms are at 309-315
East Yamhill street.
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

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

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.

All pleasure cars manufactured by us are warranted to be free
from defects in material and workmanship, and we will make good
at our factory any part or parts thereof which shall within one
year after delivery of the car to the original purchaser, be returned
to us, transportation charges prepaid, and which our examination
shall disclose to our satisfaction to have been thus defective.
We make nowarranty whatever in respect to tires, rims, igni

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
