WILLAMETTE is
WORTH 100000
YEARLY TO CITY

There are now enrolled at Will
lamette university SAG students,
Dr.. Carl Gregg Doney, president
of the university told members Of
the chamber OF commerce at to-
days luncheon.
And II the great forward move-
ment to raise money for the uni
versity is successful, he predicted
that withia three years, there
would be an enrolment of more
than 1000.
Based on just merely a business
proposition for Salem, Mr.. Doney
said that students at least spend
s400 each year. This amount
with the $4,000 or more paid out
by the university In salaries and
other expenses, places Willamette
as one Of the great business instl-
tutions Of the city, expending in
the city about 100000 annually.
I'VE have reached point whore
our buildings are entirely inade-
Quate,' declared DR.. Doney "and
we have been compelled to say 10
a number of students don't

Referring to the growth OF the
university, the speaker said that
in 1915 the enrolment was 212
and that the average increase for
the past eight years has been 10
per cent.
For rs years l have been en-
gagged in educational work with
colleges" declared DR.. Doney,
"and / have never found group
Of finer students than we have
here in our university. And there
is no finer service in the world
than aiding an institution such
as we have here In Salem and Civ

TWO STATES
Favor SPLIT
Wyoming and Idaho Com
missions Urge Central
Pacific Be Divorced
From Espee.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Public
service commissions of two west
ern states-Wyoming and Idaho
put themselves on record today be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission as fayoring separation Of
the Central Pacific from the
Southern Pacific, while the Ne
vada commission urged continue
tion Of sthe merger. Representa-
tivea Of the three commissions ex-
pressed their views at the hearing
on the Southern Pacific's applica-
tion for authority to retain the
Central Pacific, even though the
supreme court has ordered separa-
ton.
representative Mondell, the re-
publican house leader, aiding the
Wyomtng commission in argument
against the merger, took the posi-
tion that general national inter
ests required an Independent Cen
trail Pacific in order that trans
continental lines may be main
tanned not only in efficient opera
tion but in competitive operation,
The interests Of his state, he con-
tended, were particularly effected.
"Unfriendly management Oh the
Central Pacific might easily create
situation in which the Union Pa
cific might lose large part of its
present tonnage and business"
Mr.. Mondell asserted. ION the
other hand, with the Central Paci-
fic under management and control
singly and wholeheartedly favor
able to the utilization and develop
ment Of the transcontinental sys-
TENS, the railroads service now
rendered in and to Wyoming
would be extended, enlarged and
improved"
On cross examination Mr.. Mon
dell conceded that he was inform
ed as to specific rates and service
details, but insisted that the gem
eral view taken justified the posi-
ton.
j. s. Shaugnessy Of the Nevada
public service commission, coming
to the support of the Southern Pa
cific's application, declared the
economic welfare of the state of
Nevada is forwarded by the pres
ent association between the two
roads"
''The state government desires
to endorse its presentation here as
just as we would endorse the adj
vancement Of any one industry we
have" he said. 1--WE look upon
unified operation of the Central
Pacific and Southern Pacific as
one OF our leading enterprises"

mighty
Hits Line Last
Time Thursday

When the timekeeper's revolver
cracks next Thursday afternoon,
following the grid clash between
Multnomah and the Olympic club,
it will herald the end of William
Henry Steers football career.
When the boys in the press box
prepare their "lineups" and write
Steers name therein, it will be for
the last time. THE terrible
Steers" "the mighty Steers"-so
called by sport critics during his
time at the University of Oregon
and with the United States ma
rine corps teams through. He
made the announcement yester-
day.
Thanksgiving, when he will
serve as half against the Olympic
club, Steers will be hurled at a
line for the last time. Incidental
ly his broken toe, which has kept
him on the bench except during
emergencies recently, is in fair
shape.
Steers, at the time the Univer-
sity of Oregon met Harvard at
Pasadena, was declared by critics
to be the greatest quarter ever de-
veloped west of the Mississippi
river. A good field general, a
broken-field runner a line
plunger, kicker and demon at
passing, Steers was for three years
chosen all-Pacific quartebaek. His
football career began in his home
town - The Dalles - where he
played high school football with
Shy" Huntington, now coach of
football at the University of Ore
gon, and Scrub" Huntington,
mentor at the Salem high school.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 27.-- BY

tation and propaganda to defeat

pared for delivery today before the

Alarmed at the possibility that
the American ships Will take from
them some 6S per cent Of Ameri-
can exports which are now carried
in foreign ships, the foreign ship
ping interests are using every pos
sible means to discourage the up
building of the merchant marine
in this country, Mr.. Plummer
said.
Every sort of discrimination has
been practiced against. American
ships in foreign trade. Mr.. Plum
mer said, but when Americans
propose to do little discriminate
ing in favor of their own vessels.
British interests charge the Uni
ted States Is trying to create
monopoly.
when such as they find, as
they do, that they can charter for
eign vessels for less money than II
takes merely to operate their own
steamers under the American flag,
what is the sense Of setting UP the
claim--as opponents of American
shipping do--that American ships.
without government aid, can com

Tiger Declares He VIII
Speak Piece In Own
Way; Refuses To Be
Compromises.

Aboard Clemenceau's Private
Car En- Route to Chicago, Nov.
27.-(By the Associated Press. y
Deep in a campaign for France
that already has brought attacks
by democrats as well as republi-
cans on the senate floor and criti-
cism from the British government,
Georges Clemenceau today de-
clared he would speak his piece
out in his own way, no matter
whom he offended.
The French premier of war
days, it was learned today, he re-
ceiyed dozens of kilograms from
friends and well wishers of
France, urging him to tone down
his remarks so that they will not
offend the portion Of the nation
he came to win. The telegram
urged him to "say things that
America wants to hear and be
expedient."
Came to Tell Truth.
II did not come here to be ex-
pedient," Clemenceau declared
when he received this message. II
came to tell the truth. l did not
come to say pleasant things, but
to say the things that would be
of value in my judgment, to help
preserve the peace Of the world.
Il have never been a compro-
miser. Now that l have one foot
in the grave, least of all will l
make a sacrifice to be expedient.
/ don't want success of expedi-
ency."
Besides the kilograms, Clemen-
ceau has had personal suggestions
from men of importance as to how
he should conduct his self
imposed task of seeking American
cooperation in settling the ola
world differences.
To one who suggested plan to
him in New York yesterday just
before he left for Chicago, where
he is to speak Tuesday, the tiger
replied, clapping him on the back:

In the mining town of Clemen-
ceau, Ariz.
Mining men of that town have
besieged him with pleas to come,
offering to donate the proceeds OF
the run of the copper mines for
the day of his visit to any charity
he names. The sum realized would
be about $28,OOO, he was advised.
II should like to go there" he
said. Blu whether he will is still

Those expressions came after
Professor Tiernan and Mrs. Brim-
mer were informed their marriage
had been rendered illegal by an
nullment Of Professor Tiernan S
divorce from Mrs. Augusta Tier
nan at South Bend, Ind, and her
own prior marital status possibly
was beclouded.

eight years ago, she eloped with

now of Hansell, Iowa, she said.
Four days after receiving notice
that Rash had sued for divorce,
she said, she married Arthur III.

to learn still later that Rash had
not obtained final recree when
she married Brimmer.
Second Venture Illegal.
Nothing was done about the
matter, she said, but she and
Brimmer came to Chicago, where
she became a check girl in a Chi

learned that Brimmer then was

gone to Clear Lake Iowa, with him
and then to his home in Union
town, Pa, where his mother told
her he was married and the father
OF child. The mans mother
paid her way back home, Mrs.
Brimmer said.
Shortly thereafter she became
interested in the Tiernan- -PouIin
paternity case and opened the
penciled correspondence with Pro-
fessor Tiernan which led to their
meeting here last Thursday night,
the first sight of which ended in
their being married at Crown
Point, Ind.
