THINKS STATE DIDN'T
GET MONEY VALUE IN
CHAAPoEC BUILDING
Lewis, Of Portland, Wants In
vestigation Made OF
Memorial Building.

D. C. Lewis of Portland, member
Of the legislature, does not think the
state got its moneys worth when it
built the memorial building at Cham
poeg, for which the last Legislature ap.
propriaied $4,000. Here is what he says
about it in letter to Governor With.
ycombe:
"At the last session Of the legis'a-
ture we made an appropriation Of $4,000
to erect q building on the provisional
government park at Champoeg. am
told by good judges that the building
erected is disgrace, and the one there
can be erected for $4,000, and in any
event for not to exceed $2500.
1t seems to me IL would be we'll for
you to have this investigated and learn
who caused the loss. I am sure, from
what / am informed, the state has not
been given a square deal"
Judge. P. II. darcy Of Salem and
George H.. Hines Of Portland, com.
mittee from the Oregon Pioneer asso.
citation. were sponsors for the building.
But when the board Of control adver.
tised for bids. only one bid was su''
mittcd and IL was in excess Of the $4,000
apnropriation. A modification was
msde in the specifications to bring the
alton and the building was constructed.

Now York, Dec. 16.-Political oppo-

TO capitalize President Wilson S visit to
France, in an effort to bring about the
overthrow of the Clemeneeau ministry.
The socialist leaders and labor cx.

1t is their purpose to attempt to
cause the impression that the soc.Aisrs

cere supporters Of President Wilson =

Clemenccau radicals are secretly work
ing against some of the Wilson pinci-
pies. A clash has already occurred be-
tween Premier Ciemenceau and the so.

the latter that they be permiu.-u to
organize street demonstration and pa.

clcmenceau has refused to sanction this
procession until President Wilson speci-

World-they utilized unscientific means
1t seemed to us that the only way they
knew to eliminate machine gua .vst

That was rather discouraging to tht
