Meyere Oto.'.L Cleaver W. L Brenholte Georee Palmer Brykit movement, which has for Its aim the development of Whitman college Into the great representative college of the Pacific northwest, Is being pushed with vigor by the administration of the college. The undertaking is an iuulLf uuv, re4UUJU 1U llilMliCUii way the raising of nearly $2,000,000 for endowment, buildings and equip ment, and In a broader way the cen tering of the Interest and support of the whole northwest, for the cardinal feature of the project Is to make the college not load, but the great educa tional factor of the whole northwest territory. The plans have been recently pre sented In defnllte form to the citizens of Walla Walla county at a series of mass meetings, and they have re- ponded with a pledge of $200,000. Prof. Hendricks, dean of the college. who Is In charge of the "New Whit man" movement, has carried the cam palm Into the larger cities of the northwest, and the success of the plan assured, especially since the offer of half a million from the east as soon as the west shows her loyalty In as practical a way. The striking need of a great Instltu tlon of learning, privately endowed, In this section, and the logical position of Whitman In every way to be such a school, are outlined by "Mr. Hendrlck as follows: First of all there Is the marvelous growth of the college since 1894 when President Penrose became head of the Institution. In 1896 the assets of the college wsre $58,000. In 1907 they were $600,000 and the Income had trebled. In 1S96 there-were four stu dents In the college proper; now there are over 140. The college is now a liberal arts institution whose degrees are recognized as equal to those of Yale or Harvard. Just recently the college, while as strongly Christian as ever, severed Its denominational con nection, and now stands broadly non sectarian. This Is In no way a re nunciation of purpose, aa In the orlg Inad charter there was no mention of sectarian or even Christian affilia tions, the connection with the Con gregational church being made in 1892, at a time when the college was facing almost hopeless poverty. What remains now Is to develop It from a college to a great representative pri vately-endowed Christian college of the northwest to be to us what Stan ford la to California or Tale to the east. IS.

I'll die game," Is a remark dropped by Bud Barnes, awaiting trial for the murder of Mrs. Anna Aldrich. Barnes was talking with a fellow prisoner, says the Walla WallB Bulletin. The authorities are certain that he will nut confess und thnt If he Is con vlcted of murder In the first degree and has to mount the gallows, he will go with his lips senled and will never tell of the murder of the nged Dixie woman. Men who have known this young man for years say it is his disposition, If he soys anything he will stick to It whether or not it can be proved or disproved. This, say the officers, if one reason why he persists In making statements which he must know can be easily proved false. Barnes takes things quietly In his cell. He does not smile very much but sometimes laughs and talks with his fellow prisoners. The brutality of the crime of which he is accused has not made the men In the county Jail avoid this man. Bud Barnes' composure was shown at the time of his arraignment. He never turned a muscle nor his eyes did not leace Attorney Burp's face as We Have It! What?
