mil to Buy Fine Fruit.
The competitions are open to the world
and no, entry fee is charged, or are ex
hibitors required to pay for the space
occupied by their exhibits. Another thing
is that tlie fruit entered in the competi
tions remains the property of the ex
hibitor. What this means to the growers
Is evidenced by the statement that James
J. Hill, chairman of the board of direc
tors of the Great Northern Railway Com
pany, will pay -tl.oou for 100 50-pound
boxes, while similar offers have been re
ceived from Louis W. Hill, president of
the same company and head of the Na
tional Apple Show, and W. T. Clark, of
Wenatclvee, Wash., for Mrt worth of
fruit. Mr. Neely also has offers of
a box for tl first choice of ten boxes of
prize-winning apples and J2S for second
choice of the same number, both from
British iiouses.
The primary tuirpos-es of - this exposi
tion." the first' of its kind and scope in
the world, are to show the value of the
apple as a food and fruit, to demonstrate
its manifold uses and by-products and
stimulate an Industry, which already
means millions of dollars annually to the
growers and handlers bn' this continent.
It is purposed to create a greater demand
by reason of the increased consumption
of apples and encourage the growing of
cleaner and better fruit and more of it.
When this shall have been accomplished it
is believed by the projectors of this en
terprise that the apple will occupy its
rightful place as the king of fruit, as
well as being among the foremost of the
staple commodities of the world.
This will be at a public banquet by
the people of Spokane In honor of the
Judges, exhibitors and visiting growers
ttio evening of December 7 or 8, according
to the date set by the Country Ufe com
mission for Its hearing in Spokane. In
addition there will be eight sessions of
the Washington Plate Horticultural As
sociation at iis fifth annual convention.
December 7 to 10. and numerous recep
tions, theater parties and other social
affairs, with side trips to several of the
n-arhy Irrigated and non-Irrigated orchard
districts, after which the larger fruit
districts in Washington, Idaho and Ore

Encouraging Reports From East.
President S. B. ' L. Penrose and Dean
A. W. Hendrlck. of Whitman, have
spent the past two months in a stren
uous campaign covering the Pacific
Northwest and the New England states
in the Interests of the educational con
gress. Everywhere they have , met
with phenomenal success, and reports
brought back from the East state
that the educators of Yale, Harvard
and other prominent institutions- are
deeply interested In the work contem
plate si Whitman. President Eltot,-of I
Harvard, was invited to participate In
the programme, and lead discussions in
the congress, but owing to pressing
engagements In other places he will
be unable to attend. He has written
an article, - however, which will be
read at the sessions on Tuesday, to
gether .'With-a- letter conveying his re
grets at being unable to attend and
expressing his deep-felt Interest In the
great institution of the West,
Dr Lyman Abbott was also invited
to attend and take part In the eon
gress. but he also will be unable to
attend. He has arranged, however, to
secure a full account of the meeting
and give it liberal space In the Out
look In the ensuing issue. It is ex
pected that other publications will
follow suit in the matter of giving
wide publicity to the gathering to be
held heie.
whitman's Work of High Grade.
That the work of Whitman College
will be of a high grade cannot be
doubted. Everywhere, both in the
East and West, the matter Is attaining
prominence, and predictions are made
by well-known educators that the
school established to the memory of
the great missionary and trail blaser,
Marcus Whitman, will yet be placed in
the foremctn ranks of American' col
leges. The sessions of the educational con
gress will be held in the Whitman Me
morial building, which Is the largest
and best adapted of the present group
of college buildings. Sessions will open
with chapel services at 10:45 o'clock
Tuesday morning. This will be fol
lowed by the first meeting of the Whit
man College board of overseers, which
was only recently completed on the
changing of the institution from a sec
tarian to a non-sectarian college.
President S. B. L. Penrose will address
the congress, immediately following
the board meeting, on "W.hltman Col
lege. Its Organization and Present
Status." In the course of his remarks

founding of Whitman College by.the
pioneer preacher and missionary. Rev.
Cushing Eells. its subsequent growth
and development and the plans which
are proposed for its future growth and
widening of prestige and influence.

funds and erect buildings for the
greater Institution, will address the
congress following Dr. Penrose on
"The Greater Whitman, Its Purpose
to Become the Representative Private
Institution of the Pacific Northwest."
Dean Hendrlck will speak of the work
he had already done toward securing
the $3,000,000 fund from which it is
proposed to build the greater Whitman,
and equip it with every convenience
of modern education. He will speak of

cessity of carrying the work to a full
completion.
The address the first thing Wednes
day morning by E. T. Allen, chief in
spector of the Forest Service for the

ucation: Is It Needed?" is expected to

a body of men and women from such
a section as. the great timbered North

speak of the especial need in the Rec
lamation service today of young men
who have an educated knowledge of
the means and methods used in re
claiming the vast areas of waste lands
which are now useless, in many parts
of the United States. ' In view of the
many schemes in the Northwest -tor

lege; Architectural Plans With Stere
opticon Views," giving in detail the

afternoon. The entire campus and
group of buildings. Just as they will
appear when completed, will be thrown
on canvas: so that those present may
get a definite idea of just what a beau
tiful addition the whole will be, when
the "Greater Whitman" has been
secured.
While the idea will be given prominence
at the congress, that there must be money
raised, if the Institution is the success
which Its faculty and board of overseers
are planning that it shall be, there will be
absolutely no effort made to raise a single
subscription during the congress. It is not
for this purpose that the meeting has been
called. It is rather to stimulate an in
terest in the minds of those who attend
in the great need of such an institution
as the greater Whitman will be. After
this stimulation is once created, the pro
moters of the college believe the neces
sary funds will be forthcoming, and are
therefore not worrying in the least over
that part of the programme.
Advantages of Technical School.
At 2:30 o'clock on the afternoon of Tues
day. Dean Alfred E. Burton, of the Massa

a discussion and address the congress on

Dr. Cvrus Northrup, president of the
