Something About the Plant and.. Build
- ings There A Big Institution.
- r - v-
As in Oregon, the Agricultural
College of - Washington , is larger
than any other educational insti
tution in the state. It has some
larger buildings, and one . or two
more of them, than are on the
campus at OAC. .Pictures of these
buildings, published in Farm Life,
a farm paper of Yakima, Washing
ton, show that Washington has
expended .large sums of money on
her Agricultural College. Concern
ing the buildiogs and plant, Farm
Life says:
The Administration was the first
large building built. It is a four
story structure, 256x98 feet, built ot
Spokane granite and pressed brick
The Administrative offices and the
auditorium are in this ' building.
while the rest of the building is de
voted to class rooms, laboratories
and the library. ,
The largest building on the col
lege grounds is known as Science
Hall, a building 90x170 feet, three
stories high; constructed of pressed
brick and Tenino sandstone. This
building is devoted to work m bot
any, zoology, bacteriology, entomi
olgy, veterinary science, agricul
ture, horticulture and geology. It
is one of best constructed and best
arranged buildings on the. campus
College Hall is the oldest build
ing containing fourteen rooms; oc
cupied by the School of Pharmacy
and School of Business.
Mechan.cal Hill is a large, low
building in "which the shops are located-
and also the heat, light and
power plant. Wood - working,
forge work, foundry work and kind
red subjects are taught in the most
practical manner, here,' , "
The Mining buildins is a two
story structure about 40x65 feet in
whi:h the machinery for ore dress
ing and ore reduction are placed.
This machinery includes a Gates
crusher, a set of rolls. Hartz gigs,
and Wilfrey table and Freu Van
ner. all for ore dressing, and a
stamp mill,' cyanide plant and
smelter for ore reduction.
The new chemistry building is
54x120 feet, three stories high, and
will be devoted entirely to chemis
try. Ferry Hall, named in honor of
Governor Elisha P. Ferry, is the
boys dormitory and is capable of
accommodating about rgo young
men.
Stevens Hall is the dormitory for
women, and is named in honor of
Governor Isaac Stevens, It is a
beautiful binding in old colonial
style and accommodate about 60
young women.
The gymnasium and Armory
lately constructed is 67x140 feet,
and is without doubt the best of
its kind in the state. It is fitted up
with baths etc.
The new greenhouse is well
adapted to supplement the work in
botany and horticulture, and is an
exceedingly good building.
The Veterinary Hospitals for con
tagious diseases are wooden struct
ures. 1 i
On the farm are the iarm house
and farm barns. The College is
just about to construct a new cream

THE MCFADDEN CASE.
The Defendant Bound Over More of
the Pacts Tillotson's Revenge. -I -
A. L. . McFadden, whom B.
Tillo'sjn of Port'and,.- is persecu
ting od an charge of alleged forgery
parsed through Oorvallie, Wednes
day, enroot; to his farm in Lincoln
county. H- bad a preliminary in
a Portland c-urt the other day-, and
was held iu 1 1000 boods to await
the action of the grand jury. ; H
off-red no evidence in bis own -" be-
j half at tbe preliminary, preferring
to settle the matter it the circuit
court. . ' . .
A etat?d in a' recent. issue of the
Times, the charga lodged egainst
Mr. McFadden by Till .tson,. grows
out of a settlement between tbe par
ties. McFadden bad been id Til
lntson's emuloyVf ir eight months.
His salary was $60. a month, and
traveling expense?, bis work beiig
a part of the time as bridge car
penter in various parts of tbe etate.
The lattsr portion of the time, Mc
Fadden was a bookkeeper in t the
office
At the time of settlement Mr.
McFadden had drawn all tegethtr
ia tbeeignt -moiths, $14"'. His
salary grtgated $480. He had
also p-iid nui $2 91 ot his own mou
ey on Ti lotion's account. maHbg
the a tual balance due bim, $342 Qi
For months be had been drawing
checks for Tillotson, many time
caching them in,, person. Tiilot
gon's ledger showed a balance due
Mr. Fadden id tbe amount above
named. Mr. McFadden drew: a
check for the amount to pav bine-
self in full, makioe the entry on
the books to correspond, and bal
ancing the account, The - whole
transaction was openl ? done with-.
out attempt at secrecy or fraud. It
was a course to which the book
keeper wa9 diiven by the fact tbat
the man with whom he was deal
ing is hard to g-st money out of.
As to the baiaDce due him, Mr.
McFadden is able ti prove by oth
er parties tbat Tillotson owed him
all that was ela!mtd and taken. He
paid, when seen in Corvallis, that
he had absolmely no doubt of the
outcome of the cas. The -t-ue
character of Tillotion'e course is
shown by the following fast.: Mr.
McFadden has a farm ia Lincoln
countv, as well as other property
subject to execution. Tillotson, if
his claim is just, could easily have
brought a civil proceeding, and
have collected the amount. Instead
be has resorted to the criminal
courts on a flimsy charge, hoping
thereby to obtain revenge on Mr.
McFadden, because the latter simp
ly forced him tipay a just debt. 11
T. W. B. Smith and Walter
Smith have purchased ot the heirs,
tbe well known McBee farm, six or
teven miles south ot towu. Tbe firm
comprises 430 acres, and increases
th holdings ot tbe Smith family to
over 1,200 acres, all In a body. The
figure at which the farm changed
