In response to an inquiry as to
the uses which would be made of the
appropriation of $1e5,000 per year
to the state university in case 1t were
not held up by the referendum, and
of the effect on the university of a
referendum II It were called, Presi-
dent Campbell of the university, has
made the following statement:
1.-The University of oregon has
been on a basis of $4,000 of appro-
priation from the state for the past
two years, and was on a basis Of $780,
900 for the two preceding years. OF
those amounts, $47,500 was from the
fixed annual appropriation, and the
balance from a special appropriation
OF $4,000 in 1903 and another spec
ial appropriation of $62,500 in 1905.
IF the referendum were now in
voked on the S125,000 appropriation,
the university would be forced to de-
pend for a year and half on the old
fixed appropriation of $47,500 per
year, plus some 10000 to $4,000
received annually as interest on uni
versity funds.

MRS. MYERS FILES
SUIT AGAINST CITY
SHE HAS FILED SUIT AGAINST
THE CITY OF CLUMBUS FOR
TEN THOUSAND DOL
LARS DAMAGES.
suit Comes as a Result of Damages
Alleged to Have Been Sus-
tanned by Complainant,
Who Fell i'm Ditch.

As a result of injuries alleged to
have been sustained by complainant
in falling into an open ditch, Mrs.
Lily Myers has instituted suit in the
circuit court against the city of Col
umbus for ten thousand dollars. The
declaration, filed by Messrs. Belts &
sturdivant, attorneys for complain
ant, recites that on the night of June
End, 1907, Mrs Myers, while on her
way to church, fell into an open ditch
at the corner of Bell avenue and Six
teenth street, and that as a result of
the fall her right knee was practic-
ally dislocated and she was otherwise
painfully hurt and bruised.
The declaration sets forth that it
is the duty of the mayor and city
council to keep the streets, side
walks. alleys and crossings in repair,
and that the injuries received by
complainant resulted from negligence
or carelessness on the part of the
city or it's employees in failing to have
a properly constructed bridge over
the 01ICn at the GOEuGE VI bG4I avenue
and Sixteenth street. 1t is alleged
that there was no bridge at the above
mentioned point, and that the only
means OF crossing the ditch was by
walking over a narrow plank, which
had been placed there or allowed to
remain there by the officials and ser
wants of the city. Taking the ground
that the city, in having failed to keep
its bridges and sidewalks in proper
repair, is responsible for the accident.
Mrs. Myers asks to be awarded dam
ages in the sum of ten thousand dol
lars for injuries sustained.
Notice of the suit was served on
Mayor Donneu several days ago, and
he brought the matter before the city
council at its meeting last Thursday
night. The mayor was authorized TO
take the proper steps TO defend the
suit, which will probably come up
for trial at the January term of the
circuit court

4 New Fire Station.

The repairs on the old hose wagon
have been completed. and the vehicle
is practically as good as new. The
city now has two wagons in good con
dition, and it has been suggested that
it would be a capital idea to establish
an additional fire station in East Col
umbus and install one of the wagons
there. There are a great many mills
and factories in this section of the
city, and more adequate fire protec-
ton is badly needed. Then, too, a
new public school has recently been
erected there, and a fire station To-
Gated near the school would be a
great protection to this property
Under existing conditions the old
hose wagon is practically useless, as
the city keeps only two fire horses
and these are required to pull the
new wagon. Even should the old
wagon be used at the Sixth street sta
ton an additional pair of horses
would have to be purchased, and
these could be maintained as cheaply
at a new station as at the old. The
only additional expense that new
station would neeessitate would be
the rent Or purchase price of build
ing and the salaries OF two or three
fremen. In the event OF fire in
the manufacturing district the new
fire station might be the means OF
saving a property loss that would pay
the expenses of its maintenance for
several years.

LOCAL MERCHANTS
TO ORGANIZE
BUSINESS MEN WILL ORGANIZE
ASSOCIATION TO PROMOTE
THE COMMERCIAL IN
TERESTS or CITY.
VIII Advertise Columbus in imme-
diate Territory and Make Ell
fort to Induce People to
Purchase Goods Here.

An effort is being made 70 organize
a merchants association in Columbus
and with that end in view a meeting
will be held at the city hall on next
Tuesday night. Permanent organiza-
ton viii probably be effected at this
meeting, and local merchants and
business men are extended q cordial
invitation to be present. Mr.. W. H.
Carter, of the firm of Carter & Chap
man, is taking the initiative in the
movement, and when seen at his store
by Dispatch reporter stated that the
merchants were entering into the
scheme with enthusiasm and that
every business man with whom he
had conversed had signified his will
ingness to become member of the
association.
The organization will not in any
way conflict with the Progressive
Union. The Union devotes its ener-
gies largely to the work OF inducing
foreign corporations to locate here,
while it will be the special object of
the merchants association TO adver-
tise the city in the immediate vicin-
ity and offer special inducements to
country merchants and country peo-
pie generally to come here for their
supplies. The association will not be
confined to any one line of trade, but
dry goods dealers, grocery dealers,
drug dealers, and, in fact, all mer-
chants and business men viii be elig-
fble for membership. Mr.. Carter is
not only Il progressive merchant, but
a man OF ideas, and has devoted con-
siderable thought to maturing plans
which he believes can be carried out
to advantage by the association One
of the ideas is to have merchants in
every line offer specially attractive
bargains during a certain week, and
TO advertise this bargain week all
over the surrounding country, both
by circulars and through the news
papers. He thinks that by pursuing
this plan large number of people
will be attracted here, and that the
profits aceruing from increased sales
will more than pay the expenses in
Cured in advertising.
1t is not the purpose of the assO-
citation to make any rules regulating
prices or to dictate the manner in
which any merchant shall conduct his
business. The principal object is to
promote the commercial interests of
the city as a whole, and by unanim-
Gus and we11 directed effort along
this line a great deal of good can be
The meeting will be
called to order at 1880 O'Clock on
night, and all the merchants
and business men of the city are ex-
tended a cordial invitation TO be
present.

Mrs. Henrietta Harris Dead.


Mrs. Henrietta Harris died at heI
home, No. 419 South Third street
at an early hour last Friday morning
Although Mrs. Harris had been in
bad health for quite long time past
she had improved recently, and her
death, coming so suddenly and unex-
| pectedly, was naturally a severe
shock to the family She was out
calling Thursday. and upon return
| ing home stated to members Of the
household that she felt unusually
well. She retired at her accustomed
hour, and about three o'clock in the
morning was taken suddenly i'll. The
household was aroused and DR.. Stock
ard, who lives in the next block, was
hastily summoned. Upon his arrival
he found the patient suffering in
tensely, and knew from her symp-
toms that the end was near. He did
what he could to afford the sufferer
temporary relief, and in short time
she passed away, organic heart trou-
bic having been the immediate cause
of her death.
Mrs Harris was a member of one
of the city's most prominent families,
having been the sister of Mr.. r. T.
Williams, cashier of the First State
Bank, and the mother of Mr.. S. D.
Harris, teller of the same financial
institution She was the daughter of
the late Wylie Williams, a well
known citizen of by-gone days, and
her husband was the late Sam Douse
Harris, who had several large plan
tations in the country contiguous to
Columbus and who during his life
time was one of the most prominent
farmers in this section. In addition
to those named above, the immediate
relatives surviving the deceased are
her daughter, Mrs. W. P. Craddock,
and her sister, Miss NJ. A. Williams
She is also survived by several grand
children, and leaves other further re-
moved relatives and countless friends
to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Harris, who at the time of her
death was sfxty-nine years of age,
was devout Christian, and was
prominent in religious and charita-
bic work. For many years she had
been a faithful and consistent mem
Der of the First Methodist church and
was a liberal contributor, not only TO
the church fund, but to all charitable
and pIapnOSynarv c9uSpS She was
always ready to relieve suffering hu-
manity, and no appeal for assistance
for a worthy cause was ever made to
her in vain. She was a woman who
was universally respected and below
ed, and there are hundreds of peo-
pie who admired her truly noble
character and to whom her death is
q source Of deep personal regret.
The funeral occurred at the family
residence on South Third street at
ten O'Clock Saturday morning, having
been conducted by Rev. J. W. Shoaff,
d. D., pastor of the First Methodist
church, and numerous beautiful f1o-
raj offerings attested the universal es-
TEEN in which the deceased was held.
