Johnson & -May er, architects, will be Instructed to provide the final specifications. Blda for erecting the building will then be usked for and the contract let. It W. Hatch, associate architect of Pen dluton, will supervise the construc tion work. The following gives a general and detailed description of the plans. Architect's Descrlinlon. In an interview with Folgcr John son, designer of the building, It Is learned that the new Umatilla County Library will In concept follow the forms of the early Italian Renaissance Mrclteoture, but will borrow none of the caprice of this stylo depending for effect purely upon harmonious pro portion, good color tones and simple dignity. A choice of Italian Renaissance may iieem strange at first thought but closer consideration Justifies this for certainly most of the art of our mod ern civilization Is based upon the In terpretation and attainments of the Age of Renaissance In Italy which In turn received Its Inspiration from the classic art of old Rome. So rather than design the. Pendleton library In an architectural style that Is purely a vogue, enjoying popularity today but tomorrow falling Into disfavor, the architects have reverted directly to the Inspired ages of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries hoping to catch the spirit of that old work of which humanity never seems to tire, Style. The building will be simple and dignified and only slightly ornament ed, a conception of style that seems highly appropriate tn such a country us sourrounds Pendleton of sweeping contours with but little detail of trees or shrubbery. Any building to har monize with this big country must bo of decided form and line, char acterized by frank expression of Us purpose and void of all subtlety. The architects In searching for pleasing architectural expression found suggestion In the Portico of the Pazzl Chapel which nestles back In the cloister of the old church of San'.a Croce, Florence, Italy. This portico combines In effect a colonnalde with a large arch at tho center giving em phasis to the entrance, the whole be ing crowned with a bracketed cornice and tile roof. The motive will be modified and reproduced In the Pendleton library at tho entrance but the wings of the building to either side which house the reading and children's rooms, will be expressed on the exterior with a series of arched windows, and the ef fect of these wings architecturally will be secured In a contrast of void and solid, and play of light and shade from the spreading cornice, but with no restort to embellishment. The en trance will be keyed somewhat high er In the elaboration of detail which will give a pleasing contrast with the simplicity of tho wings. Material Construction, In the choice of materials care Is being exercised to use Incombustible' materials as far as the available funds for the building will permit The basement walls and floors will be of concrete and the superstructure of Htucco on hollow tile; the roof of ter ra cotta tile. The walls and archi tectural features such a cornice treatment, capitals, etc., on the inte rlor will be of plaster or composition and nil tinted so as to tone In with the background of wall, VfooA will be used sparingly; only for door and window trims, bookcases, stacks and furniture. The architectural expres sion will conform to that of the exter ior so that the building as a whole will be a unit In the harmony of Its parts. Whether the main floor will be of wood or concrete, or other Incombus tible material must be determined by the cost. In any event It will be cov ered with cork carpet but the en trance vestibule and porch will have nn Inlay of tile. (Continued on paa flvj.)

Purveyor Bradley Is trying to got over the hill with not more than a five per cent grade. BRITISH SHIPS mi mm mi r Tr..TlPlin m yim.es i re h resist TLliTflMlP W l MIRCEIUsnEs. lib li..

AJfGLO-AMERICAN TANGLE IS LIKELY TO COME OYER SHIP ARMENIAN, AS TRANSPORT, HAD NO BUSINESS TO CLEAR FROM PORT. WASHINGTON, July 2. The sink ing of the liner Armenian is likely to cause an Anglo-American rather than a German-American controversy. It is evident the question hinges upon whether the Armenian was a British transport or a peaceful freighter. If the vessel was a transport, officials sgee she should not have been per mitted to clear for Avonmouth. It remained for an official Investigation to settle whether or not the Armen ian was a transport. The descruction of the liner Is nearly a closed Incident as far as Germany is concerned. All reports agree the Armenian was sunk while trying to escape. DIAZ DIES IN PARIS LONDON', July 3. Paris dispatches declare that former presMcnt Dlax of Mexico died there today.
