After having been shown the plana
for the proposed Umatilla county 11

York huve notified the library board
through County Judge Marsh that
the $25,000 offered for the building
In now available as needed for the
construction work.
mis means toe board may now
proceed with the construction of the
building and Messrs. 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.

ILUIU
Jermans Deliver
o Strong Attacks
AT
PARIS, July 2. Violent counter
attacks are being made against the
allied lines by the Germans from Ar
ras to Ypres. The British In the re
gion of Ypres are being subjected to
a terrific bombardment, an official
communique stated. The artillery ac
tion was followed by massed attacks
of the enemy's infantry, attempting to
storm the British positions. So far
the attacks have been repulsed. The
British are holding the lines, the
statement said.
Advancing from La Bassee the Ger.
mans attempted to storm the English
position in a brickyard near the Beth
une road, but they were repulsed.
Rushes against the French along
the Angres-Ablaln road also were re
pulsed the statement Bald. In the
Argonne region the Germans are re
ported using asyhyxlating gases, but
are only temporarily successful.
VILLA OOES NOT WANT TO
BE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
LEADER IS FIGHTING FOR DEM
OCRATIC PRINCIPLES SAYS
HIS FRIENDS.
WASHINGTON. July 2 Villa does
not want to president of Mexico and
no other man of the Vlllista faction
wants the post, according to Ueneral
Angeles, former chief lieutenant for
Villa. The revolution In Mexico is now
a fight by Carranza to gain control
of the government, while the Villistas
are resisting in behalf of democratic
principles, desiring only to turn the
government over to some one law
fully entitled to leadership, he said.
ASPHYXIATING GASES WILL
NOT BE USED BY THE BRITISH
NOT ALLOWED BY CIVILIZED
RULES OF WARFARE IS
THE REASON.
NEW YORK, July 2 The Britl
ish governmfent refuses to use asphy
xiating gases in the European war be
cause It is contrary to the rules laid
down by The Hauge conference, ac
cording to a declaration of Dr. W. B.
McLaughlin of Brooklyn. He asserts
that he showed attaches of the Brit
ish embassy at Washington, how to
pour sulphide dioxide gas into the
trenches, rendering the opposing
troops helpless but leaving no perma
nent ills. The British ambassador
refused to consider the plan because it
was condemned by the International
peace conference. Three months lat
er. McLaughlin said the Germans be
gan using chloride gas.
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.

LONDON. July 2 The British
press rejected the theory that the
sinking of the, Armenian was Justified
because the liner attempted to es
