Their construction. In the aggregate, has cost some 1131.000 and has added greatly to the facilities fur Instruction and scientific research. The agricultural hall, a $40,000 brick and stone structure of four stories, con taining 41 classrooms, laboratories and offices. Is south of the agronomy build ing, which Is connected as a wing. When the horticultural building Is added as a south wing to the main agricultural building, the whole will compose one of the largest and most Imposing edifices on the campus. For the present, the horticulture de partment will ocupy a portion of the south side of the new agricultural bonding, which will also ho' I the de partments of botany and plant pathol ogy, poultry husbandry, art. soology and entomology. Industrial pedagogy, and the offices of the dean of the school of agriculture and the director of the experiment station. Armory Is Vast Structure. South of the agricultural building is a new range of greenhouses, which, at a cost of some 17000. will give the hor ticulture department a total area of some 700 square feet under glass. The buildings are thoroughly modern In all respects, and are constructed with one central two-story building and five glass houses, three of which are 0x20 feet, and two 33x20 feet. Hot water heating apparatus Is being installed, with arrangements for keeping each of the houses at any desired temperature. The 140.000 armory, the largest build ing of Its kind In the United States. Is a steel reinforced concrete structure, 3axi: feet, with a drill hall which fur nishes an unobstructed area of 14,000 square feet. Facilities for 1000 men are furnished In the drill hall, arms room and offices. A heating plant for the buildings of the south side of the campus, construct ed of reinforced concrete and contain ing a 250 horsepower boiler, has been esected at a cost of (35,000, and Is near Injr completion. A considerable amount of new equip ment for the various departments will greatly facilitate instruction during the coming year. I Woman Aim Is fiond. WAL.UA WALLA, Wash.. Sept. 10.

There were 100 Rockefellers here yesterday for the reunion or the Rockefeller Fam be assured, provided he obtained a plur ality of the Republican ticket In the pri mary election. Pledge Alii to Poindexter. While an attempt was made In the Re publican state convention In Tacoma to read Poindexter out of the part- and while his acts In the lower house of Congress were condemned by Implication, and while the convention declared for the election of a Western Washington man for United States Senator, there would wm to" be no other alternative than the election of Poindexter If he receives the plurality rote on the Re publican ticket In the primaries, and the pledged Republican have a majority of the Legislature. The Washington pledge on the Sena torial election ia aa follows: "I hereby declare to the people of the State of Washington, and particularly of my legislative district, that during my term of office I will always vote for the candidate for United States Senator who has received the highest number of votes upon my party ticket for the position at the primary election next preceding the election of United States Senator." It will be observed that the Republi can membors have not pledged them evlves to vote for the "Republican" re ceiving the hlgliest number of votes In the primaries, but for the one who re ceives the highest number of votes upon their party ticket. Wilson's Act Does Not Help. Thus even though a Democrat mas querades) ss a Republican and receives a large number of vote from Democrats who call for Republican ballots, lie Is en titled to the votes of pledged members of the Legislature lf he gets the highest number of votes on the Republican party ticket. When the nature of the primary pledge and the remote possibility of an unpledged majority being elected to the Legislature are considered, those here who rtudy the situation s?e no prospect of the pri mary choice for United States Senator being overthrown. The retirement of John L. Wilson, from the rontest, has not cleared the situation to a marked degree. Here the prediction Is made that the Wilson support will not go unitedly to Burke, but there is a strong opinion that It rents almoat solely with King County and Seattle whether Burke Is elected or defeated. King County and Seattle voting almost solidly for Burke would, accord ing to present Indications, make his elec tion practically certain. In the election of two years ago. there were cast approximately 40.UU0 Republican votes In Eaatern Washington. It is now conceded that Poindexter will probably have a majority over all other Senatorial candidates In Eastern Washington, but a simple majority, based on the vote of 1908 Is only 30.000 and King County, alone, in 18 cast 12,237 votes for the Republi can Presidential electors. It Is believed here that Burke will main tain a good leud throughout Western Washington over Poindexter with the ex ception of Pierce County, where Ashton will lead. In Western. Waahington out side of King, taken as a whole. Burke should have a plurality in the list of Senatorial candidates. King County, united, could probably make this a ma jority In Western Washington, which cast, two years ago, a total of 66,000 Re publican votes. Iivmorrats to Be Factor." But Burke is placed at the disadvant age of havlrg to overcome probably SOW or 10.0H0 Democratic votes that will be Whitman Yakima IK n a.

In an address here last night before a large audience at Steward's Opera-House. A. W. Lafferty explained in detail the bill ha will, provided he Is elected, offer In the next Congress conveying all forest reserves In trust to the states. The speaker grilled the Federal forestry bureau for spending the enormous sum of T3,000.000 In the last 14 yeans, while only 32.000.000 had been spent, ne declared, for the betterment of the National forests. In part, Mr. Lafferty said: "The 15,000.000 acrea of forest reserves in Oregon comprise one-rourtn 01 tne state's area, and are worm at least av,- 000.000 today. Thesa lands will yield In- deOnltely In the future at leant ji.mju.uuu annually from the sale of ripe timber. It ouarht not to take all of this vast in come to pay the salaries of those caring for the forests and tne expenses 01 tne service under state control. A balance of VOO.0(J0 should annually go Into our state treasury. "The Dlan that I propose provides that the title to the forest lands shall remain permanently in the general uovernmeni with power of dictating by Federal en actment the exact manner in which the states shall patrol and care for the forests, and reforest the land as the ripe timber Is removed. It gives the states no power to sell an acre of the land, and therefore no timber syndicate can ever profit by the change from Federal to state control. The Dlan merely provides for the sub stitution of a state-.board of forestry for the Federal forestry bureau, and pro vides that the net proceeds from the sale of ripe timber and grazing privileges shall go Into the state treasury. It even provides that the Government may take back the forests at any time and put the Federal officials . again In exclusive charge lf the states fall to make gooa.
