letter, which trust you will give pub

H. Is concerning the movement 70
raise funds for The erection OF the Karl
q. Maeser memorial building In Provo,
City, Utah.
The movement was launched at an
Alumni banquet June 3, 1903, aud was
a direct result otthe alumni association
desiring 10 meet the growing need Of
the school for more room and better
equipment. In the erection OF the
building IL was the plan to not only
meet the growing need, but at the
same time do honor TO the memory Of
Karl G. Maeser, whose name the build
ing bears.
Az this banquet the estimated cost OF
this building was placed at $50 900, but
later Increased TO $4,000, OF which
SUN s53, 900 was then contributed. The
increase was due 20 suggestion Of
Jesse Knight that the building be made
fire proof, With this much OF the funds
already on hand the contract was let
aud the work OF construction com
menced. The work proceeded until
Dec, 1, this year when II became nee
essary 10 meet paymens OF $1,000,
which sum had 20 be paid by Dec. 18TH.
There was no immediate means Of
meeting this payment and the faculty
were confronted with what seemed TO
be an almost unsurmoontable obstacle.
There were two sources that PROMISED
support, namely, the faculty aud stu
dent body. The first could be relied
on for support to the limit Of their
means, but this was insufficient. Then
there was the student body, composed
Of from twelve to fourteen hundred
young men aud women. What would
they do? With some mlsglving the
faculty finally decided TO appeal to their
generosity az students of the institn.
tion Never before In the history Of
the school was such meeting ever
held as the one on that memorable
morning in thegrand old college. With
one accord the vast assembly arose, be-
ing nctuated by the spirit OF the Lord,
aud from the generosity Of their hearts
contributed far beyond the most ex-
travagant hopes OF the most slnguine.
a steady stream OF contributions rang
ing from ~ to s25 poured In till the
sum reached the enormous amount OF
s306l, which with the faculty oontribu-
tions was more than sufficient 10 meet
the present demands. Not satisfied
with this lavishing of their means to
support their beloved institution they
continued to subscribe, doing II in the
face of adversely, recognizing the pres
ent great need of great cause, the

system with the Il. Y, U. at the head.
But the student body is necessarily
limited in resources, SO other means
must be developed.

viding for splitting Main from Lin.
coin west, giving half Of 1t the best
possible grade into the valley, was
confirmed. The retaining wall orig
inally specified is not now neces-
sary and the cost Of it will be re-
bated on the assessments.
Settlement was not reached, how
ever. until after Ostrander had done
his best to again hang the thing
up under the new charter provision
enlarging assessment districts.
something the Traction company
desired very much, and Mohr had
palavered until everybody was
tired.
Mohr was unusually noisy and
non-attentive to what was actually
going on last night, faculty of
his that appears to have somehow
escaped attention at the recent
election.
But the Peaceful valley folks
went home happy for they have at
last been granted street into the

descension certainly to a progress

Governor Hays responses in an
swer to inquiries as to his plans for
the pushing of a general investiga'
ton into all state offices do not
give much encouragement to those
who are anxious to have every ave-
nue. of the expenditure Of state
funds thoroughly examined.
Asked II the Seattle report that
the investigation of state Offices
would be curtailed and not extend
beyond the offices Of tine officials
now under investigation, Governor
M. E. Hay, at his office in Spokane,
today stated that the investigation
would be carried on wherever 1t
was shown that. any irregularities
existed. He did not say on whom
would devolve the necessity of
showing the existence of such irreg.
ularities.
Asked if the legislative commit.
tee would inquire into the Medical
Lake building graft reported by
Senator Hutchinson, Governor Hay
said that 1t was up to Hutchinson
to present proof of his charges to
the board, as It had evinced dis.
position to hear him. Governor
Hay is not inclined toward gen.
eral investigation of the affairs OF
the state board of control.
The governor arrived In Spokane
yesterday and will leave with Mrs.
Hay this afternoon for Walla Walla
to attend the two days session OF
the state association for the con.
servation of natural resources. Fri
day night he will start for Olympia
to be present at the awarding of
the contract for furnishing the ex-
ecptive mansion.
Governor Hay is still reticent as
to the real cause for his demand for
the resignation Of Representative
J. w. Macarthur of Spokane from
the state board of pharmacy. The
governor would not affirm or deny
the statement coming from the
friends OF Macarthur that Hays OPP
position was due to the clause in
serted in the new pharmacy law
permitting druggists to sell whisky
to Sunday without prescription.
Macarthur has refused to resign and
will require the governor to remove
him, in which event il will become
necessary for Hay to prefer formal
charges against Macarthur. The
governor, il is conceded, has the
right to remove Macarthur.
