look was very discouraging, to
say the least. A t this juncture
Rev. Charles 0. W hitely went to
his relief and lightened the task
very m aterially by enga ing
actively in the work o f canvass

he was eminently successful.
The friends o f the college at
Portland, Salem and Rosed ale
responded loyally, and when
Springbrook was reached the
call was met w ith practically a
unanimous giving, for almost
everyone in that section came
through w ith a liberal subscrip

over in Newberg and every
effort possible by letters and
other means o f communication
was made to induce others a t a

make a winning fight.

thirty subscriptions at $250each
to make np the deficiency and
that be would be one o f the
thirty if the others could be
found. In a little time fifteen of
the number had responded and
enough smaller subscriptions
were given to reduce the amount
to $3,200. A recess was then
taken until 8 o ’clock and all
were urged to get busy in tbs in
