OREG0N has made a name Ter her
self among her sister states be-
cause Of her educational program
Oregon colleges and private iRstitu-
tions have become noted for their ad-
vaneed methods Of instruction, to say
nothing Of their modern resources and
Ieonvenienees. The University Of Eu-
gene is one Of the most beautiful in
stitutions Of its kind in the northwest,
but during the past few years the need
Of a woman 5 building has been sore
ly felt, until at last the necessity has
become extremely urgent
At the recent session Of the legisla-
ture the sum Of one hundred thousand
dollars was appropriated for the cree
tion of the building on condition that
an equal amount be raised BY private
subscriptions. For this purpose the alum
nj association Of the university have
been working tirelessly and backed by
the various women's organizations thru
out the state have raised a comparative
| ly large sum. The goal, however, is not
yet won, and .tnuseales, art exhibits
and social entertainments are still be-
ing held to swell the fund
AS q proof Of their interest in the
cause, the Salem Women 5 club will
give silver tea tomorrow afternoon
from to 5 on the state house grounds
Everyone interested in educational af
fairs and with the welfare of the state
university at heart, is invited to be
present. Although sponsored by the
Women s club it is not essentially for
women and a special invitation is ex.
tended to the business men Of the city
to attend.
Heralded as one of the wonders Of
the age, and with a reputation that

no, will appear in concert Saturday
evening at the First Congregational
church. The success of this thirteen
year old prodigy is almost unparalleled
and the account Of his career since his
first public appearance at the age Of
seven years, reads like fairy tale
From coast TO coast, he is known as a
gcnius and greeted upon every appear.

real merit is able TO extract from mus
ical critics.
