University Endowments.
THERE are now more tlian lu'O American universities
x with eiulowmems exceeding a minion uuimin iu.
according to a statement made in an editorial ili.scus
Kinn of universities ill the Now York World recently
Harvard's endowment lust year had passed $04,500,000,
Yale's $40,000,000 and Columbia's $06,500,000. Resources
of the University ot Chicago nave reaelieil !(u4,uuu,uuu.
bays the "World:
Such large-scale giving Is necessary to keep the universities
abreast of the demands made on them. What these demands
mean we sco in an Increase of enrollment of 15,2'J students In
eighty-three institutions; or in the report from the University
of California of nearly 40.000 students on lis rolls more than
half as many persons at the wholo slate of Nevada numbers.
Without continued generosity endowed institutions would quickly
fall behind tho richest state universities like Michigan und Illinois,
which now boast of incomes of $1,000,000 to $15,000,000 bi
ennially. The World seems to think that the university prob
lem as a whole is to make the endowments for the
privately financed institutions keep pace with the
revenues of the richer slate universities. It would ap
pear that that problem is being rather more than
adequately met. Here in Oregon the problem is the
contrary of that. AV'c have but one university of the
first class. Its revenues have not grown in proportion
with its growth in attendance. Its standards of teach
ing and scholarship nnd general accomplishment rnuk
it with tho best. There was n fine plan for a gift
campaigu extending over a period of years, to cko out
its needed revenues, but tho brond-visioned and able
man who was tho heart and soul and directing genius
of tho campaign lies on a bed of illness and the cam
paign is nt a halt.
Some influential newspapers of Oregon have re
cently said that this state has reached the limit of its
ability in financing higher education. That is not the
spirit or tho lino of thought that is actuating tho rest of
tlie country at present. "It will not bo long," says the
World, "before several of our universities linvo endow
ments of more than a hundred millions!"
What About Mexico?
MOST of us had thought that relations with Mexico
were improving, until Secretary of Stnto Kellogg
recently issued n sudden stern though unofficial warn
ing to tho Calles government that it must be good or
else forfeit the support of tho United States. Calles
placed a thumb at .his nose, twiddled his fingers and
invited tho American secretary of state also quite
unofficially to seek out the nearest lako and jump in.
Since then there has been dead silence on both sides.
Nobody north of the border knows what tho row is
all about, and there is apparent at Washington no dis
position to givo enlightenment. It harks ono back
to tho late President Wilson's punitive expedition into
Northern Mexico. Nobody was punished except tho
expedition. -
"Mexico will back President Calles in his defiance
of Secretary Kellogg's warning," wires a Washington
Post correspondent from M.exieo City as quoted by
the Literary Digest. Will the United States back Kel
logg? Perhaps, but first tho people of tho United
States would liko to know a little concerning what the
row is nbout. The Literary Digest remarks that, in the
Kellogg statement thero is clearly seen "a thinly veiled
threat to let tho revolutionists work their will" on the
Calles government unless it treats Americans as wo
wish." And tho Chicago Tribune gets an exactly op
posite viow, which it expresses by saying: MIt is an
omphntio ro-statement of our intention to discourage
revolution." Tho truth seems to bo that tho wholo in
cident is incapablo of being interpreted with certainty,
in the nbsonco of further statement from Washington.
There is just now no sign that wo shall have this.
Thus far thero is tho opposite- of anything calcu
lated to improvo our relations with Mexico, in what
has transpired, or to increase- respect for us south of the
Kio Grande. .
A picnic party up along tho Mohawk stopped at an
inviting looking shady nook, intending to spread a
lunch and eat. The first, indivi.lnnl mil r i. ,.- i:
pod on a watermelon rind and skidded into a mess of
chicken bones, breadcrusls mul eggshells.- All about
wcro paper cartons, sardine cans and yellowed news
papers. Near by lay a great mass of withered foxglove,
plucked and thrown aside to die. The party did not
stay. Nnturo is indeed grand, but Oil, MAN!
Sprightly things are always happening around Al
bany, to enliven tho day's news. The Albanv dateline
made Page 1 in the city papers lust, week, with n story
nbout myriads of earwigs having fallen victims to the
heat. No use for Eugene to bo envious, though. Such
u thing couldn't happen hero, because wo linvo no
myriads of earwigs.
Lillian Auld is a Eugene girl, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. David Auld. She had sotni-thing to write nbout
and sho wrote it in unusually fine nnd entertaining
style, in her article in The Oregonian of veslerdny, de
scribing tho advenfurous hiking trip of herself and' Miss
Elizabeth Lord, of Salem, in far Luzon.
Tho outcome of the Shepherd case at Chicago seems

(In Portland Telegram)
EL'UEXK, Ore., June 1!U. Eugene
county scat of Lane county, home
of .the University of Oregon and the
fastest growing city in the Willam
ette valley is simply rolling unafraid
and unashamed iu wealth.
The bank clenrings of this city for
May were $2,Kili,7it8, whereas the
clearings for May, 1924, were only
tho mere sum of $1,8-1i,8jU,
And then listen to this: The bank
clearings of Eugene for tho first five
months of this year aro said to be
50 per cent ahead of those for the
vntiro 1- months of lust year. ,
This is ono of the reasons why Mr.
and Mrs. Hustneas Mau of this city
smile sweetly and answer the old
stock question with "Oh, yes, business
is much better than usual."
To tell our readers just how fnat
Eugeno is jumping ahead we'll have
to go hack to lOiii to catch up with
Last year there were 003 build
ing permits issued here for a total
valuation of JP2.714.715. This gave
Eugeno the second highest rating in
gains awarded all tho cities of the
seven western states.
The XIniversity city in 1924 mode a
gain of 1J1S per cent over 192JI in
building permits. Hut this Isn't all, oh,
dear no! In '24 the gain was JS3
per cent over 1922. AVhen one consid
ers that In 191S only 57 permits were
issued here, with n total vnluntion of
$02, Sill, you will understand where we
get the statement that Eugene is the
fastest growing city in tho Willam
ette valley.
Population 19,000
In the matter of population, this
place is skyrocketing like Lieutenant
Oakley Kelly doing a fancy fly over a
girls' boarding school. According to
the carefully compiled Polk's direct
ory count, there are more than 19,000
people alive and well within the city
limits of Eugene.
Hack in 1900 there were only 3230
folks here, and in 1920 only 10,593.
No, the new count docs not take into
consideration tho 2950 students at
tending the various schools of the uni
versity here.
Ten years ago there were six
firemen and a horse drawn engine in
the fire department. Today there are
six pieces of motor driven fire fight
ing equipment, the best that money
can buyand there are seveninem
bers iu the city fira department. '
Tho buildings (some would have
been called skyscrapers a generation
ago) for which permits were issued
last yoar includo tho eight-story AV.
K. Miner office building, with 1S3
office suites, costing $225,000; the
fine, fireproof Eugene hotel, whoso
180 rooms were opened to the tour
ing public Juno 15. Furnished, this
hotel cost some $400,000, according to
people here who know.
There is tho McDonald theater
whirl, seats 1200 persons and cost
$175,000. There are a half-defxen
ftore rooms in front of the auditor
ium. The Eugene Bank of Commerce
will soon move Into its fine new home.
Tho Eugene Daily Guard, Paul R.
Kelty, editor, his the best built and
best equipped small city newspaper
plant under Oregon's fair blue sky.
A part of the 1924 program includ
ed the Ijirowny building, a structure
devoted exclusively to music, and the
plant of tho Shelton-Turnbull Print

valuation Neany uouoie
This city, like all other well regu
lated places, has an assessed vnlua
lion. In 1912 this was but $S,U7U,3C0.
whith feeing like a mere trifle when
compared with the $10,113,050 valua
tion of the current year.
Auto owners will delight in the
fact that there are 27 utiles of paved
streets here and 42 miles of macadam
avenues. The city also has 45 miles of
sewers, a great thing for public
health.
Two handsome junior high schools
are nearing completion. They are
much needed for a recent school cen
sus showed that there are 3150 pub
lie school students. As the city is
growing rapidly, a few thousand more
youngsters will bo wanting to attend
classes in tho near future.
Many Lodges.
Eight wholesale houses are doing
a land office business in this center,
and seven job printing plants have al
most as much work as they can do.
There are 103 social and fraternal so
cieties here, so if a man doesn't want
to stay home o' evenings with friend
wife, he has plenty of excuses for go
ing down town to lodge. And this rule
works the other way, too.
Threo hundred and thirty South
ern Pacific railway employes have
their homes here. Tho S. IVs local
payroll is $500,000 annually.
Speaking of the Southern Pacific
it is well to note that next June the
new Natron cutoff, which is jazzing
up from Klamath Falls, will be com
pleted into Eugene. This will make
this ciy . the second most important
railroad'center in Oregon.
To Vote on R. Ft. Gift
On August IS a special election will
be held to vote on a $175,000 bond
issue to. purchase 209 acres of land
north of here to present to tho S. P.
Tho railroad company officials have
stated they will build tho shops bere
if the proposed site is given it.
The S. P. owns more than 200
acres of land near Springfield, Ore.,
which it will give to Eugene if the
site wanted is presented to the com
pany. Eugene wants the car shops and
her voters arj anxioup for election
day to come.

In existence tho mammals.
Those first mammals of sow 10.000.W years ago began to de
velop a more highly specialiaid ana' complicated organism. Their
blood warmed up. Their breathing apparntu became separated by
a wall from their digestive mechanism. Their heads, hearts and

Hut, most significant of all. they began to breed their young within

developed mammary glands, from which their name, mammal, is
derived. These animals could then liv and" breed on the dry land,
and were no longer at tha mervy of the cold, as their cold blooded
reptilian ancestors were.
Scientists point t proof of the mammal's origin from the reptile
in the skull of tho t'ynodont, or dog toothed reptile, which was dug
