PARIS, Sept. 23 (by Associated
Press).—The Harvard Reconstruction
Group made up of some 40 young stu
dent architects and engineers of the
advanced grades at Harvard Univer
sity, have left for their posts in the
Argonne and Meuse regions to carry
on their work of reconstruction in
the devastated areas.
M. Olier, minister of liberated re
gions, received the group on its re
cent arrival here, and assured them
the fullest facilities of the French gov
ernment in carrying on their work.
Five members of the mission were as
signed to Rheims. Two of them are
to work under the direction of M.
Deneu, architect of the cathedral, in
designing plans for the restoration of
the famous basilica. Others are tak
ing part in the gradual restoration of
the old city back to its pre-war aspect.
At Suippe four of the Harvard
group are under the direction of M.
Lavigne, government architect, in the
construction of standardized provision
al houses of four and five rooms. At
Somme-Py four others are drawing
plans for the court house and school.
Others are engaged in planning a mo
dern system of gas, water and elec
tricity for Somme-Py.
At Clermont-en-Argonne a group of
12 of the Harvard men are engaged
in the work of reconstruction, which
is carried on here at a vast extent,
as this was the center of greatest de
struction during the recoil of the
Germans after their defeat on the
’ Marne.
RAILWAY TO CONNECT
PACIFIC OCEAN WITH
THE AMAZON RIVER
>
SANTIAGO, Sept. 23 (by Associated
Press).—Construction of a railway
■ which would connect the Pacific ocean
> with the Amazon river serving the Re
! publics of Ecuador, Columbia and
; Venezula on the north and Peru, Bol
iva and Brazil on the south, is involved
■ in a concession which has been au
■ thorized by the Ecuadorean govern
i ment. Authority for the construction
■ of the railway, according to the Chil
• ean weekly, was obtained from the
- government at Quito by Ignacio Leon,
l former Chilean diplomat, for a syndi- ;
cate capitalized at $25,000,000 mem
; hers of which include many prominent '
■ Chileans.
The route would start from the port
1 of Boliva on the Pacific and run to
' Port Borza on the Amazon. The
proposed railway, in addition to serv
ing a zone bordering on what is said
to be among the best petroleum bear
ing districts in Peru, would afford a
means of connecting the four large
and isolated provinces of southern
Ecuador, with 500,000 inhibitants, with
the rest of the country.
An article recounting the details of
the project quotes Senor Leon as say
H
ing: “Apart from the establishment
H
of inter-oceanic communication, of
t
great future importance, the railways
penetrating East Ecuador, combined
il
with the navagable riverways, will
enable the exploitation of an enor
it
mous extension of extraordinary fer
it
tile virgin territory which will consti
tute the most admirable sources of
wealth for Ecuador.”
WILL ERECT MOMUMENT ‘
TO OREGON SHERIFF I
—— t
PENDLETON, Ore, Sept. 23 (by As- f
sociated Press).—Funds are being
subscribed here for erection of a mon
ument to Sheriff Til Taylor, who was
killed July 23 by prisoners breaking l
jailed. The monument, it was planned i
will be a bronze statue of Taylor, as
thousands knew him, sitting astride '
has horse wearing his leather “chaps” .
and sombrero and flowing scarf.
Taylor resembled the type of west
ern sheriff often found in story books
and on the picture screen. As presi
dent of the Roundup Association,
thousands saw him in his picturesque
garb as he directed the annual Pen
dleton wild west show.
During his eighteen years as sheriff
Taylor and his deputies made 2,465
arrests and never did the sheriff shoot <
a .man. Once he fired at a bank rob- i
ber, but did not hit his mam as he i
exhausted his ammunition.
Pendleton’s court house, where Tay- j
lor served and where he lost his life, j
has been proposed as the site of the
memorial.
