Tribune (mid a very short visit to
Oregon's log educational plant which
represents a coat to Oregon taxpay­
ers of more than f2.000.0tM.
On the large campus there are
probably 25 buildings of stone or
brick construction coating from
1200,000 probably down to a few
thousands.
The library building,
now approaching completion, is per­
haps the lw*st building for its cost
on the campus, the cost being some
thing over >100,000

brary and class rooms which this

soldiers mechanical instruction at
the demand of the federal govern­

will be given these boys when they

had no money at its command for
thia purpose it was in a quandary as
to how funds wvre to be supplied
with which Ui purchase material.
The soldiers were to supply the labor
necessary for construction.
So propositions were submitted to
the various sawmills in the valley
inviting them to supply the neces­
sary lumber and await payment for
the same until the meeting of the
