MAY POSSIBLYIMEAN
GERMAN DAILY PAPER
ISSUED IN PORTLAND
NachriChten and Deutsche
Zietung Consolidate With
Capital Stock Of $4,000

Articles of incorporation of the Ger.
man Publishing company, of Portland,
with an authorized capital stock OF
$4,000, were filed in the corporation
department this morning and certifi-
cate of incorporation was issued by Cor
poration Commissioner Schulderman
upon same.
While the articles of incorporation
merely give the new corporation the
right to engage in general publish
fishing business" with all rights and
privileges incident and related thereto,
it understood that this is the outcome
of q consolidation of the two German
weekly newspapers, the Nachrichten
and the DeutSche Zietung, published in
Portland, by the absorption Of the
former by the latter publication.
The incorporators of records, for the
new company, are A. f. Kern, Ernest
Kroner and Frank Regner, the princi'
pal stockholders and publishers of the
Deutsche Zietung, and the consolida-
tiOn and re.incOrporatim movement
gives some credence to the oft repeated
report Of the starting Of a German daily
paper in Portland, in the estimation
of local Germans. Although no con-
or denial could be obtained
here the rumor is afloat that the Ger
man publishers contemplate publishing
Il morning daily paper in Portland in
[ he very near future.

U. of 0. Alumni Oppose
AbOIishing Of Athletics

Portland, June lj.--Alumni of the
University Of Oregon, living in Port.
land, were almost unanimous today in
opposition to the proposed plan Of
abolishing intercollegiate athletics in
the institution next year.
Among them were Congressman c. N.
Macarthur.
"I certainly do not favor the aboli.
tion of intercollegiate athletics" said
Macarthur. "Whie 1 recognize the
abuses in connection with athletic
sports, am sure the remedy lies in
sane regulation rather than abolition, "
Macarthur declared the argument that
athletics, as a class, are poor students,
cannot be substantated by facts.
