New Buildings at the University.

In pursuance Of the appropriation By
the last Legislature of 100000 to the
State University, the regents o. hat
institution have ordered the drawing
of plans and the bidding of contracts
for s25.000 shop building to be added
to the facilities of the College of En-
| cheering. The location of the build
ing and its details have already been
decided upon. According 10 a definite
scheme of campus arrangement the
new shops will be situated on what is
at present the girls hockey field and
viii be modern in every respect. There
Will be a modified "saw-tooth" roof
which will allow the entrance of plenty
of light to the wood-turning rooms. the
wood benches, the forge shop, the
foundry, the machine shop, and the
! drawing rooms below. In size, 1sI feet
In length by SO feet in width, the shop
building will be erected so as to per
NIT indefinite additions as increases de-
mands. The construction Of the new
shops is solution of the crowded 4
conditions caused by the rapid increase
in enrolment in the College of Engi-
neering and will leave greater space in
the present buildings for the other
courses OF the department The shop
work is essentially a first year study
and the new shop building will natur-
ally be devoted largely to the use of
the freshmen. When completed 1t will
be. SO authorities estimate, the finest
of its kind in any technical school west
of the Mississippi, with the possibility
of one exception. The fact of its erec-
tion is but mark of the growth of the
importance and value of the University
of Colorado. The regents have also
concluded to erect part of another
building but more particular an
nouncements regarding it have not
been given to the public.

Saturday. Jan. ".

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE senate
listened to debate on the race ques-
ton today in which Tillman was the
principal participant and Patterson, of
Colorado, his opponent. They brought
into striking contrast the ideas of the
South and North. President Roose-
velt's action in the Brownsville matter
was the subject of discussion.
Tillman held that nothing was in
volved in it except the race question,
and that the administration was respon-
sible for the growing acute condition Of
the race question in the South. The
president, he maintained, had encour.
aged the negro to assert his equality
and then had wrought vengeance on 9
whole battalion for following that en-
couragement. He condemned the pres
ident's action in some respects.
Patterson defended the PRESIDENT
right to dismiss the troops, but sale
there might be some ground to question
its policy. He condemned in stron,
terms what he regarded as the radica
position of Tillman, and predicted thu
extinction of the Democratic party il
the North would follow a continuance
Of such tactics.

Portland, Jan. 15.-With the mer-
curry steadily falling all day Sunday
and Monday and promising to continue
at low point today, Portland is shiv-
ering from the effects OF the severest
cold snap in many years. Between 5
a. m. and 5 p. m. Sunday the tempera-
ture fell degrees virtually without a
break. When the weather bureau
closed Sunday night at the latter hour
the thermometer registered II degrees
above zero and yesterday lowered near
that mark all day. With the fuel
shortage more acute than ever before,
the cold wave could hardly have struck
Portland at more unfortunate time.
What is true Of Portland applies to
nearly every city in the Pacific North
