MAKE A COLLEGE TO ORDER.
Oregon Follows Example of Trinity In
North Carolina.

Oregon Follows Example of Trinity In
North Carolina.
Announcement Of the plan to make to
order a college in Oregon under the lead
ership of Professor William Trufant
Foster recalls other examples of Amer
lean educational institutions which have
been built around ample endowments.
While there is none, perhaps, so en-
tiPely made to order as Reed college
will be, Trinity college at Durham,
N. c., furnishes n somewhat parallel
case in that the old basis of a pow
erty stricken Methodist Episcopal
school was practically of no financial
Importance when the new patrons be-
gan to pour money into the treasury a
dozen or more years ago.
The tobacco manufacturing family
of Dukes, in Durham, caused Trinity
college to be transplanted from a coun-
try town to the tobacco center, and
there, practically under the walls of a
great cigarette factory, has been built
a totally new Trinity, with ample
funds, talented professors and elabo-
rate laboratory equipment.
The president, who has been the
Dukes educational spender, is the
Rev. John G. kilgo.
Trinity now has about Ats students
and nearly forty members of the fac
ulty. IN proportion to its numbers it
is the best endowed college in the
south and n of the wealthiest any,
where, and the money continues to
come in as fast as it is needed.

tend from Lumber Yard to a connec-
ton with the main line at Hays

possible the removal of a large vol
ume of traffic from a part Of the
road where heavy grades are now
encountered. Together with the
necessary classification yard, engine
house, shop for light car repairs, and
fuel and water facilities, the con-
struction will cost about S1,500,000
Final surveys are now being made,
preliminary to the actual work of
constructing the road. The work
will be done in such a as to
permit of economical double-tracking
later.
Mr.. Middleton will also give par
ticular attention to the company's

GUS shops on the system. and the
branches in the anthracite region
