The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-05-22

Realizing that the University OF
Washington has desperate need for
more buildings and mindful of the diff
ficulty in securing additional appro-
priations from the legislature to enable
the institution to keep up with its
growth, Acting President Henry Landes
will present to the Board Of Regents at
its next meeting a plan for the bonding
Of the ten-acre tract in the heart OF
Seattle to an amount of several hundred
thousand dollars to provide a building
fund. The interest on the bonds
would be met by the present annual
income of $4,000 from the tract,
which is now held by the Metropolitan
Building Company under 40 year
lease, with the surplus going into a
sinking fund to pay off the principal.
President Landes says that the land
owned in the State Of Washington by
the University will in a decade bring
in sufficient income to take care OF its
expenses without additional burden on
the taxpayers by direct appropriation.

Seattle was last week selected for the
1915 meeting of the Imperial Council,
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, the enter
tainment OF whom is regarded by cities
as one of the greatest convention
honors that can be given by the
country's big organizations. The Sc
attic Chamber of Commerce has guar
anteed fund of $4,000 for the en-
tertainment OF the convention. There
will be in attendance at this meeting
more than $4,000 SINNERS and their
families.
The factory conference, consisting
of employers, factory employees, and
disinterested persons, last week unani-
mously recommended to the minimum
wage commission the establishment in
this state of a minimum wage for fac
tory girls OF $500. This amount is a
compromise on figures advanced BY
both employers and employees. 1t is
expected that the minimum wage COM
mission will adopt this wage, and
should it do so it will go into effect
within sixty days. The order of the
commission will then remain in effect
for a period of one year, after which
the commission may, if it deems nee
essary, call another conference for re-
consideration and readjustment of the
scale.
The scattering Of a barrel of money

too, will be placed on an automobile
and driven down the main streets and
bandfuls OF the pennies will be thrown

be carefully superintendent to give the

way, besides fine program OF free

Friday, May Do, will be observed
throughout the State Of Washington as
Good Roads Day, a proclamation to
this effect having been issued by Gov

made all over the state for its observ-
