Settlement Apparent.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Jan. 3O-The dipsosition
Of the German colonies which has
proved the most difficult territorial
problem met in the program of the
peace conference to date, is ex-
pected to be virtually settled at to-
days meeting of the peace bureau.
With the majority Of the repre-
sentatives proceeding on the basis
that the secret treaties formulated
by the allies before the American
Intervention will be nullified by the
acceptance of President Wilson's IA
principles, it is believed that all the
colonial claims will be adjusted on
the principle of a League Of Ma
tions virtually understood to exist
between Great Britain and America
on the matter of territorial adjust
ments
This attitude is regarded as pow
erful enough to override any oppo-
sition.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 30
Strong opposition to the administra-
tion,s good roads bill is developing
Critics object that the bond issue
should not exceed $3O,0OO,0OO and
say that the land owners adjacent
to the proposed roads should pay
more. They also urge a wider
range Of construction materials and
a provision for the upkeep Of the
roads.
Supporters of the measure say
that the critics are premature as the
bill submitted is only in skeleton
form, pending amendment.

Dearmon Opens Gun in Legis-

priations for New Dormi-
tory and Fine Arts.
AUSTIN is OPTIMISTIC
OVER ACTION BE- TAKEN
Says He Believes Governor and
Solons Appreciate Import
ance of School and Are
Awake to All Needs.

Bills asking for an appropriation
of $339655 for the Oklahoma College
for Women were introduced in the
state legislature yesterday by Sena-
| tor @. A. Dearmon, of Grady county.
The bills specify $162,155 of this

and furnishing of Nellie Sparks hall.
The Fine Arts building, and the home
for President Austin and family will
cost $4,000, it is estimated
According to present plans, DR..
Austin says, the proposed dormitory
would cost $150oOO and if the appro-
priation is approved by the legisla-
ture will be constructed on the
south end of the campus, just south
of Nellie Sparks hall. The plans for
IAAS pAOpOSCu uOl iultOly Call lOT IL
building very similar in architecture
to Nellie Sparks hall and would af-
ford 125 rooms.
The Fine Arts building should the
appropriations be allowed, would be
constructed between the dormitory
and the administration building.
Plans and specifications for this
building call for 40 rooms, 30 Of
which would be large enough for pi-
ano practice.
That Governor Robertson and
many members of the legislature
who have thoroughly investigated the
needs and conditions of the state
college here, are in favor of the ap-
preparations and upbuilding of the
0. c. W., is the belief of DR.. Austin
"They seem to realize the fact
DR. Austin said this morning, "that
this institution should be one of the
best in the southwest; that it is Of
unlimited value to the womanhood
of this state that the Oklahoma Col
legge for Women has won the ever
lasting confidence of all those who
have sent their daughters here, to
receive the fruits of this institution,
and that the college here promotes
not only a technical education, but
teaches it's students to lead clean,
christian lives.
81 feel certain that if the proposed
dormitory is built, every room in
both the buildings will be occupied
after the opening day of the 1910-20
school term. I base this opinion up.
on the fact that last year we we're
forced to turn down practically three
hundred applicants for admittance
into the college, because we did not
have the dormitory capacity to house
them.
I'VE have asked for a reasonable
appropriation, and it is my opinion
that the legislature will allow it,"

 Without a doubt the new concrete

 also are as fine as can be found any where, but that it not having an entire building of concrete, you know. The fine homes and business buildings which are becoming part of every town in Alaska remind us old-timers that our dreams of a commercial em-

 much more rapidly than most of us imagine. It was only few years ago that pessimists were saying that Alas
