It is to divert part of the new Roosevelt relief funds to the creation of American culture. We have been concentrating on the banks, business and our bellies," says Gutzon. We have neglected the spiritual and cultural. It ,was because Rome and Athens neglected these things that they fell. Renaissance always comes out of depression.

Lomax, professor ot business administration The article presents results of an extensive study Dr Smith, who is nationally known as a geologist anil a geographer, has an intimate knowledge of the physical conditions of all sections of Oregon, while Prof Lomax has done considerable lesearch along economic and business lines. To replace the present numerous counties of various sizes the writers propose seven "provinces," to be formed without regard to present county boundaries. These are: Coast province This would extend from the ocean to the summit of the Coast Range, but in the southern-mos- t portion would follow the eastern boundary of Curry county. This ptovince would stretch the full length of the state. Klamath province Its northern boundary would be the north line of Douglas county, eastern boundary the east boundary of Jack-socounty Williamette province This would extend along the crest of the Coast Range on the west to the Douglas county north line on the south, and then for its eastern boundary have eastern boundaries of the present Lane, Linn, Marion, Clackamas and Multnomah counties. Columbia-Peschute- s province Its western boundary would be the line just traced above and its soutern boundary would be the north line of Klamath and Luke counties. Its eastern boundary would follow a line which is somewhat irregular, including portions of Morrow and Umatnla counties Southeastern Lake province This would include Klamath, Lake, and Harney counties province. This is an irregularly bounded subdivision that would lie between the province and the southeastern Lake province, and extend to the Snake river north of Huntington Snake River province This would include the present Malheur county and a strip of the Snake river rorth of and as far as Huntington A possible eighth province would be added under one plan by deof claring Multnomah county, which Portland is the county seat, " a metropolitan province n SCOUT COURSE PLANS PROGRESS Plans for the annual camp Naders course to be held at the Girls camp in Logan esnvon Satuidav and Sunday, were being rapidly completed today The course, according to Si out Executive Preston Pond is for all scooters interested It is from 2 p. m.
