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.

Acvuned WIU Die Game
"If I have to hang. 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
