GLAft DAY TOR WHITMAN
DEDICATION' OF NEW BUILDIXGS AT
THE WALLA WALLA COLLEGE.
Due to Beneficence of Dr. D. K.
Pearsons Address Delivered by
Dr. XIxob, of Chicago.
"WALLA WALLA; Waih . June 12. Com
mencement exercises at Whitman are of
more than usual Interest. Marked ad
vance has been made In nearly every line,
of college work. Within the last few
months two handsome buildings, one tha
gift of Dr. D. K. Pearsons, of Chicago,
tho other from citizens of Walla Walla
and other friends, have been built. This
evening these buildings were dedicated by
a large and enthusiastic audience of citi
zens and friends of the college from
abroad. Dr. Nixon, literary editor of the
Chicago Inter Ocean, and a lifetime ad
mirer of Dr. Marcus Whitman, and his
work, delivered the dedicatory oration.
Dr. Nixon also brought with him a
written message from Dr. Pearsons, which
vas read by Professor O. A. Haue.rbach.
Dr. Pearsons made a plea for a college
spirit, representing the character of Whit
manChristianity and patriotism.
On behalt of the citizens of Walla Walla,
Governor Miles C. Moore replied to Dr.
Nixon's address. He congratulated the
citizens upon Dr. Nixon's visit to Wash
ington 50 years ago, which, had shown him
the real value of Whitman's work. He
commended the effective literary Tfork "of'
Dr. Nixon in making known- the Whitman
story, and assured him the people of
Walla Walla should not forget 1U He sug
gested a statue of Whitman at Washing
ton, D. C.
Dr. Nixon's address was In part as fol
lows: "I have had faith that such a day as
this would come to Whitman, but I had
scarcely expected to be living and permlt-
ted to take part In it. The dedication
of great college buildings for the purpose
of upbuilding, of blessing the living' and
coming generations, is always of Itself an
occasion of interest. While we today,
both in local. pndo and general Interest,
can rightfully and In all completeness ap
propriate these, we have In addition re
corded in no uncertain way a duty and
devotion we owe to a great name, a senti
ment, if you so choose to call It, which has
taken a deep hold upon multitudes of
patriotic American people thousands of
miles distant from us tonight. It Is" this
Interest so plainly shown by substatial
proofs that makes tho dedication of these
buildings. In addition to those usually at
tending such, historically unique.
"It would be a pleasure .and a privilege
for us to be within touch with this great
army of our distant fnends tonight; but
we live perhaps a few years too early to
accomplish It, or from the dome of Me-
onorlal Hall we would send by wireless
telegraph a wave of rejoicing over to your
Blue Mountains where Whitman In 183$
hewed the boards for doors and tables for
the old mission home. We would ask the
Blue to repeat the message to the Wa
satch, where Whitman was lost In snow
drifts in 1842. Wo would ask Wasatch
to return the wave to tne peak of the
Rockies, where on July 4, 1S36, the sweet
voice of Mrs. Whitman In songs -of pat
riotism first echoed to the rocks and for
ests and where the first prayera dedicated1
this fair land to God and the Union. We
would ask the Rockies to send a wlde-
tsweeping wave to the Alleghenles and on
to the Green Mountains of distant Ver
mont, and down the rock-bound coast to
Massachusetts, and in all that wide reach
we would hear hearty re-echoes to all our
rejoicing. As we look back to the far
away days of 1839 and see the patron saint
of Whitman College, as he stands clone
and uncovered at the great grave, and
was calling to mind the eminent services
to the people and the Nation of the silent
sleepers resting there, we hear him say:
T believe the power of the Highest over
shadowed me, and he queried what ennj
be done to honor their memory. He ados:
'I feel as though If Dr. Whitman were
olive he would prefer a high school for
the benefit of both sexes, rather than a
monument of marble.' Pondering upon
the matter, he sought and advised with
his Rood wife, and then laid the matter
before the Congressional Association, and
they cordially united with him in tho wis-
dom and righteousness of the act.
"To moneyed men this picture or a njan
well along in years, and well-nigh penni
less, gave small promise ot great success.
Dr. Eells was not only poor, but those
who backed his enterprise were poor and
the country new. But the resolve was
made. From the American Board he
bought on credit tho old farm which Whit
man had cleared, and set about his task.
Year after year ho plowed and sowed, and
reaped six days in every week, and on the
seventh preached a free gospel up and
down the valley. The noble wife entering
fully Into the spirit of the work In hand,
sat at ber splnnlng-wheel, labored In her
dairy, and from sales of chickens and
eggs added weekly to the little store.
Thus tho struggle for a start for Whit
man College went on for years upon the
old form before thero wss enough money
even for a beginning.
"But upon October 13, 1E66, the first
building, after many delays, was dedicated
and the work inaugurated. The large
ness of the gift from tho standpoint of
capacity to give; In the lengthened years
during which the work was so persistently
prosecutedj and the spirit ot joyousness
with which It nas done, make the act one
unparalleled In beautiful unselfishness. Dr,
and Mrs. Eells, -sitting at their lonely
cabin door, wearied with the day's toll,
in sight of the great grave, planning and
praying for success of their work, for
which we tonight give thanks. Is a picture
for men and angels to admire.
"Dr. D. K. Pearsons, with his far-seeing
"eyes, always loo"kmg for wise investments,
had some time before made you a nota
.ble offer" of endowing tho college with
$50,000, provided you raised In addition
$53,OD0. It was made In the terms of all
his gifts, which recognized, the necessity
of co-operation for success. But It was it
time of such general financial distress In
even Quarter of the land that by the
terms of tho gift the college seemed help
less to meet its demands. Some called the
conditions hard, and openly prophesied
that Ir. Pearsons would never be called
uponlbr his check, and, Inact, there
was no concerted effort made to secure
Its benefits. Many queried, Why did he
not give the amount outright? In the
light ot your own experience, you have
the wise answer to the question.
"Dr. Pearsons Is not only among the
moat generous, but Is the wisest of all
tho great givers. Every gift he makes is
based upon business principles. No finan
cier looks more carefully over the entire
ground before making an Investment. He
Inelsts upon an endowment as the first
thln, so that poor students as certainly
as tho rich can acquire an education; that
money put Into great buildings with no
endowment Is money endangered. He In
sists in all cosec. In all the many colleges
he has aided and the many he has raved
from extinction, that a healthy and en
thusiastic constituency must surround
each one. He lays stress upon this, and.
by the terms of his giving he educates"
and Induces others to give. Grand as arc
his benefactions, this educational work of
Inducing others to give is even greater,
for It "has not only added many millions
to the gifts of deserving colleges, but has
taupli.t a lesson of unDelfishness to tho
jpeople.
"Hard as it soemed for the people Im
mediately about Whitman College to ralfe
the $50 000 endowment required of them,
yet they did It. and It made every giver
'richer in all that enters into tho life and
spirit of true roanhcod and virtuous
womanhood. When the endowment was
nearlng completion the demands fcr
buildings were so Imperative that Dr.
Pearson again came to the front with
bis generous offer, and you. again adopt
ing the old Latin maxim. Perseverentla
JOmnla Vlncct,' went In and won a grand
victory, as seen in the new and commod
Joos campus and the palatial memorial
"building "and "Billings Hall equipped fcr
practical use. T
. "To the great army of liberal givers fpr
endowment and Xor Billings Hall, botb
home people and those In far distant
states, we can do no less than tender our
thanks and gratitude. As Dr, Bells was
the founder, so "suretf was Dr. Pearsons
the savior ot Whitman College. Knowing
him so well, I am aware that any personal
eulogy would wound rather than please.
But as selfishness and the acts growing
out of it are tho great elns of the world.
we can rightfully draw practical lessons
from such a life as seen in the work ac
complished. It Is a grand object-lesson
for tho old afcd young, and the rloti and
poor alike. "Venerabli with years of ac
tive labor, be yet, day after day. Is at his
deck, tho active financier, to make the
OTOst of his wealth, and how to give It
away so as wisely to bless the world after
he Is gone.
"It Is my deep rejoicing tonight that
here amid these classl:, hjsjtorlc surround
ings have you erected a palatial recruit
ing station, where eash year for all the
years to come you will send out an army
of young men and Tromen armed with
Justice and enthusiasm and ready to fight
the battles of heroes resting In the great
grave. Then plant the banner of the
cross on your waIJs for your hero was
God's man; float aloft your Starry Flag
of beauty and glory, for he was the Na
tion's man. Let the bugle sound tho
clear notes of charge along the line, and
long before the opening century Is old
and when these beautiful valleys and hills
are crowned with homes of happy, mil
lions, a united hallelujah moras of praise
shall go up In honor of our long-neglected
hero and his. noble wh!e Every honor so
conferred confers honor, alike upon the
grandly heroic men ani women of pioneer
Oregon who met dangers and hardships
and death to plant tho flag and build
American homes upon the Pacific.
"To you, the sons and daughters of the
noble band. of. pioneers who are rapidly
passing or have passed to' their rewards,
I commend the great work In hand. Grow
not weary In the work so grandly Inaug
urated. Students and faculty may again
have opportunity from their slim purses
to sacrifice Summer suits and Spring bon
nets and duplicate a noble example. A
great responsibility rests upon business
men and upon men and, women blessed
with means for doing good. Great build
ings are yet to be erected, and such en
dowment as will mako college doors open
to the rich and poor alike. Your library
must have upon its shelves the literary
wealth ot the world. Be generous and
self-sacrificing with your gifts, and above
all, give your blessing and enthusiasm
with your gifts. Thus, as Whitman Col
lege arises, as the years come and go, the
loved of the people and the pride of tha
state, may the powder of the highest that
good Dr. Eells experienced hover over it.
Like your great river bearing precious
treasure to every port, may Whitman
College hi memory of a great name and
a noble purpose send out undiminished
and ever-increasing blessings to the gen
erations to follow."
GRAIX OP THE PALOBSE.
Crop W1U Be Greater Than That of
Last Year.
GARFIELD. Wash.. June 12. The crpp
conditions In the Palouse country promise
an unusually heavy yield. Present pros
pects Indicate that this year's crop will
considerably exceed that of last year.
The condition of the growing crop is bet
ter, there being a uniformly good stand
all over tho country. Last year the
summer-fallow land was estimated at 40
per cent; this season it is not to exceed
30 per cent, and the large amount of summer-fallow
last year will materially in
crease the total yield this season.
Some alarm has been felt on account
of tho myriads of green aphis that infect
the wheat plants. In some oases hundreds
of tho little pests can be counted on one
stock of wheat. But In some fields' where
they were very thick a few weeks ago
they have -now entirely disappeared. Sev
eral times In past years the aphis has ap
peared In lesser numbers, but they left,
too, before they "had done much damage.
which encourages hope that they will not
do much mischief.
There has been much talk of damage by
rust, but It Is probable that the so-called
rust was occasioned by tho aphis. The
conditions that produce prust are a rank
growth of grain, and showers followed
by hot sun. These conditions, excepting
tho rain, have been lacking.
The belief that it was'rust was largely
owing to the fact that In passing the
blades of wheat through the fingers, the
fingers were discolored a rusty tinge,
very much like genuine nist. But a close
examination of the leaves upon which
the aphis Is working shows that they
have deposited a brown secretion or eggs
that rub off easily, giving the appearance

GOLD OF THE KLONDIKE.
Production for the Season Given in
Detail Men Employed. "
Victoria Colonist.
The output of the Klondike district the
washings from the dumps of 560 claims
that were worked on all creeks last Win
terwill amount to $18,553,273. This large
amount of gold was washed from 135,050,150
pans of the rich gold-lined Klondike
gravel. In all 5250 men - were employed
during the season.
This In brief Is the story of prosperity
as tabulated at Dawson City on May 25
the day before the last of the miners to
arrive by the Amur yesterday morning
left Dawn on the steamer, Canadian,
tho last vessel to arrive up the rlvr. Ac
cording to tho statistician who compiled
the table brought out by the miners, tils
output is larger than the actual output of
last season by about $3,000,000. The data
from which the table was compiled was
gathered at each claim, care being taken
to make it as accurate as circumstances
would permit. ,
An Impression has been held by many
thatthe claims of the Klondike district
are being worked out, but, according to
miners who have toured the various
creeks being worked, the streams' -are
not only producing more this year than
ever before, but they will continue to in
crease their output for many years to
come. This la true for the simple reason
that the use of modern methods ha? made
it possible to treble and quadruple former
production and to wor't ground that under'
primitive methods wb'ald not pay'to oper
ate. Steam as' thawing agent and steam
power for' hoisting has- solved the prob
lem of successful mlnlng. On creeks so
marvelously rich as Eldorado and parts
of Bonanza a profit can be made by using
wood fires, but even then miners find
an Increased profit in- 'using
steam. On creeks like Dominion, " Sul
phur, Hunker and Gold Run, mining could
not be profitably carried on without the
aid of modern machinery, tut with it the
gold production of those creeks Is enorm
ous. This agent alone has permitted- a
vast" extension of the mining Industry,
and added" many millions of dollars to
the wealth of the Klondike.
Following Is a statement of- the season's
production' in detail: ' - " '"

EUGENE,Or., June 12. The tally-sheet
from Glenteha- precinct, which -has been
holding back the official canvass of the
vote at last week's election, has not
yet been found, and a considerable amount
of uneasiness is manifest. Nobody seeing
to know what i.as become of it. After the
election the ballot-box containing the bal

voters, was brought to the County Clerk,

but upon oponlng the box no talty-sheet
could be found. The omission was not
discovered unlil the Clerk had summoned
justices and began to make the official
canvass. Wheh tho discovery was madu
the count was stopped and efforts begun
to find "the tally-sheet. The -Judges ot
election were written to, and replied that
the sheet had been sent with the box, but
tho Clerk Is -positive It was not with tho
box. It Is 40 miles to the precinct from
Eugene, and tfcktf? two days to correspond
backhand forth. The Sheriff will probably
have" to 20 down there and secure tha
sheet, or, It !t cannot be found, then bring
up the rhcet retained by the chairman
of the electtoi hoard. This may not be
done before Thursday or Friday, on ac
count of the law allowing" the judges 10
days in wblcti to deliver the election re
turns In proper shape to the County Clerk.
The matter Is annoying on account of the
closeness of the vote on two candidates
for County Judge, Knox and KIncaid. Tho
vote Js so close that it will take the of
ficial count to decide. As the votes have
.been unofficially canvassed. Knox has 1
to 8 plurality, but there may be some
changes when the official count 13 made.
