The campaign for 100000 for
willamette University is on. This is
the amount that the business men
Of Salem are undertaking. AS a
straight business proposition, it
meets great favor, for Willamette

Salem equal to a payroll of 200 men
at $3.50 per day for every working
day in the year. In addition, people
come to Salem because the university
Is here, bringing hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars with them. The
school has had a great past, and has
sent out many eminent men from the
alumni and old students.
Now the business men have Wis

THE WHOLE FORCE KNEW
BUT TT TOOK THEM ALL

Who are the individuals compos-
ing the presidents cabinet as it
stands today?
Clifford Mcdonald, of Hood River,
wrote letter to Secretary of State
Olcott the other day asking him that
question and it put him to thinking.
Unable to name them, he turned
the communication over to Corpora
tion Clerk Babcock, and it put him to
thinking, He in turn turned it over
to another clerk, and by getting the
whole staff at work on the problem
list was finally made up and then
it was submitted to the secretary In
glancing over it he decided that there
was something wrong in 1t but just
what he did not know A further
search disclosed that two of the
names were erroneous.
Here They Are.
Correcting these two names, he had
the list typewriter and sent It to the
writer, and here it IS:
Secretary Of state, p. c. Knox;
secretary Of treasury, f. MacVeagh; !;
secretary of war, Henry l.. Stimson;
secretary of the navy, g. Won l..

Walter L. Fisher; postmaster gen
eral f. II. Hitchcock attorney gen

OF WEST SIDE

That the federal government and
state will make a grave mistake If it
follows out the suggestion Of Engl-
neer McIndoe to abandon the old
locks at Oregon City and build new
locks on the east side of the river.
seems to be the consensus of opinion
Of the members of the canal and lock
board and also of other state officers.
AS argument against the abandon
ment Of the old locks they call at
tention to the fact that the state now
has a 100000 interest in them, and
that If new locks are built. that they
Will be yalueless. 1t Is contended by
them that the present locks should
be purchased and repaired and over
hauled and deepened and that they
would then accommodate any and all
traffic on the river As a further ar
gument against the building of new
locks on the east side, the fact is
cited that to begin with, II will be
necessary to condemn much yalua-
Bile property belonging to factories in
Oregon City, and that that means
years of litigation

tion to make this campaign a win
ner.
No effort will be made to raise
money at the banquet, but an an
nouncement will be made of the re-
suits of the present campaign.
Committees are now at work.
Men are pledging thousands. Definite
announcements will be made next
week.
Unless 100000 is secured as an
endowment for Willamette universi-
ty, including the present endow-
ment, no subscription is valid. Men
feel that they can afford a heavy
subscription on these terms, which
include four payments, after the
campaign is concluded.
A campaign that means a 81 ,OOO,-
900 institution for Salem ought to
enlist the sympathy and money of
every man and woman in Salem.
Salem all these years has held first
rank as an educational center. With
present day competition, the school
must have this endowment to hold
her place and prestige. Let every
one help. Then we can win.
