There are two ways to make the gift
First, by presenting him with deed and
paying the balance off yourself; or second,
by presenting him with deed and telling
him of the mortgage, so that he may earn
all or part of the balance
1t would probably take about $3.50 or
$500 down, and about $40 month to buy

paid off the balance, it could be done by
allowing him for work done about your

The structure should be larger than

NEED CHEMICAL LABORATORY
An immediate need is declared to be
chemical laboratory, but the cost of
a permanent building can be obviated
for the present by an addition to the
present laboratory. The passing of old
South hall, according to the report is
not yet in sight The building houses
the physics department and can still be
used for physical laboratories.
The university has at present no
assembly building and such a struct-
ure is needed, the report AYERS, as the
Greek theater cannot be used during
rainy weather. OF the building needs
in the next biennial period, President
Wheeler says:
During the next two years we
must eXpend not less than $500, GOO
in buildings, and thereafter, for a
series of years, not less than $780,,
600 a year from our own resources.
Tt is 10 be hoped and believed that
in addition to this from time to
time buildings may be acquired
through private gift, as have been
most of the buildings which we
now have-notably the Hearst
memorial mining building, erected
and equipped at a cost of s640,O00;
the Doe library building. repre-
senting a gift of over 100000; and

GRoWTH o. UNIVERsITY


Passing from the growth Of the uni
versity President Wheeler says that at
this critical period in the development
of the university, its needs deserve to
be stated in the first rank
The university has rapidly taken
the place Of the college, although the
college equipment remains notably in
the buildings"
The old structures are nearly past
their days Of usefulness and are en-
tirely OutgrOwn by the development of
the institution along various lines. He
pointed out that the chemical labora-
tory, which was originally designed TO
acc0nmodate $50 students, had been
called upon 10 provide shelter for 1000.

held by the delegates to the ninth an
nual convention of California Wom-
ems clubs at the second days session
at the Potter today.
The subject was placed before the
meeting this morning under the title
what Next in Federation Work?'
Every delegate wanted to tell what

them did it in no questionable terms
Mrs. j. w. Orr the speaker who

ment.

lowing resolutions: That the Fedora
tions of Women's clubs ask the Cali
fornia legislature to restore the land
marks of the San Joaquin valley; that
raisin day be observed generally on
April 80; that the federation ask its
clubs to write letters to Senators Flint

to the mind of the government the
Importance of passing bills against the
white slave trade; that the several
district attorneys of the state be asked
to appoint a woman lawyer in each
city as deputy, in order that she may
deal with women criminals; asking
for university course in household econ
omics that the government be asked
to preserve the fur-bearing seals of
the Pacific; that each club see that
it's members learn the national an
them, and a resolution deprecating the
publishing of indecent advertisements
in newspapers and calling attention
of editors to such resolution.
This afternoon the delegates were

AERO CLUB REACHES
PACT WITH WRIGHTS
Agreement to Issue Licenses AS
SureS Future of Aviation
in America

NEW YORK, April 9.-The Wright
brothers reached an agreement with
the Aero Club of America today which
assures the future of aviation contests
in the United States.
The Wrights will issue licenses to
aviators who do not use the Wright
machines and the Aero club VIII sane
ton no contests unless licenses are
first secured from the Wrights.
The terms of the agreement insure
that the Gordon Bennett trophy will
be contested for in America.
The Aero club has taken an option
on a tract of land on Long Island
sound, four miles long and about a
mile wide, between Garden City and
Hicksville, for a years lease, as a
field for the international meet.
A site will not be decided upon def
initely for several months, as clubs at
Washington and st. Louis are in the
field and other cities may put in bids
The chances of Washington are les
sened by the death of Thomas r.
Walsh, who had subscribed 100000 if
the meet was held there.

tions contained in the grand jury pre-

100000 ADDED
TO HARBOR FUND
Senate Committee Provides for
Deepening Los Angeles
Waterway

Advices from Washington show that
100000 has been added to the appro-
priations for Los Angeles harbor in the
report of the senate committee on riv-
ers and harbors Monday. This money
will be spent for inner harbor dredging,
as advised by Lieutenant Leeds In his
report to the government The appro-
priations already passed are $17S,000
for closing the gap in the breakwaters
and $200.000 for deepening the channel
thirty feet to the turning basin. 1t is
possible that $290,000. an amount rec
commended my Lieutenant Leeds for
the building of dredger and extending
the inner harbor, may also be added to
the harbor appropriation for Los An
geles.
The senate committee In its bill refers
to the building of new dredger, but 1t
is made optional with the secretary of
war This provision is inserted after
the item for the inner harbor work,
and reads: provided that, if, in the
judment of the secretary Of war, prices
received in response to advertisements
for bids for dredging are not reason
able. so much of the amount herein
appropriated as shall be necessary
may be expended for the purchase or
construction of a suitable dredging
plant"
Total appropriations In the senate Dill
as amended by the senate committee
amount to more than $4,000. 600, an in
crease of more than $10,000.0 900 over the
amount appropriated by the house.
The net increase in cash appropria-
tions amounts to $6,3S0,567; contract
authorizations, $3,627, ,675, or a total Of
SIC, ,00S. .242.
Among the principal items of cash
increases are: Texas-Galveston har-
Dor, 100000; Galveston harbor to Texas
City, $4,000; Beaumont and Orange
canal, 100000. Callfornia-Los An
geles harbor, 100000.
