WHITMAV CONSERVATORY
MUSICIANS APPRECIATED
It Is doubtful if any group 0 mu
sicians who have ever visited Pendle
ton have received such high praise as
that bestowed upon the members of
tho faculty of the Whitman college
conservatory of music who gave the
recital in the Methodist church, Sat
urday evening. Every performer was
an artist and each one would be a
credit to a city of more pretentions
than Walla Walla.
There was not a dull moment or a
poorly executed piece from the open
ing to the closing of the program,
and while the audience was not n
large as the excellence of the concert
deserved, yet those who were present
were appreciative and showed the
fact by the manner in which the per

Pendleton was visited by two early
morning blazes this morning.. The
most Important was the fire which
gutted the new millinery store of
Mrs. C. F. Chattcn on Main street,
shortly after 5 o'clock this morning,
doing damage to the extent of $2600.
The other fire occured about 2 o'clock
and scorched the corner of the old
machine shop on the point of the tri
angle of ground between Court and
Alta streets.
Mystery surrounds the origin of
both fires, but the one at the machine
shop was evidently of incendiary or
igin. From appearances someone
must have set the fire and then rung
the bell of the East end department,
which is but a few feet distant. With
the alarm turned in so promptly the
blaze was extinguished before It had
more than scorched the corner of the
building.
The fire in the millinery store was
more disastrous. Everything within
the building was completely burned,
here being a few whole hats left In
the show window, but even these were
damaged. The loss Is estimated by
Mrs. Chattem as between $2500 and
$3000, while she had $1500 Insur-
nce.
This was written but a few days
go by James II. Gwinn. represent-
ng the Royal Insurance company.
Owing to tho failure of the new fire
ell ringer attachment to work th,.
big bell could only he made to give
two taps, so the firemen were not
summoned from their homes until
after the fire had done its work. A
couple of trainmen who happened to
be up yet and some one or two other
persons who happened to be on the
street, ran the hose cart out and pro
ceeded to extinguish the flames.
Mrs. Chattem knew nothing of the
fire until she came down to open up
her place of business at 8 o'clock.,

commander of the battleship Iowa
Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans, re

Merrimac in Santiago harbor, saying
he never knew Just why Admiral
Sampson had selected Lleutenan
Hobson to command that expedition
"unless U was the Admiral thought
he could spare him better than any
other officer of the fleet "
Admiral Evans recounted one Inci
dent on the Iowa when a heavy bat
tie hatch was picked up by a cable
and carried above his head. It was
shaken loose and fell, striking Evans
on tne shoulder ana dislocating me
joint.
"Contrary to my reputation," said
the Admiral, "I had not taken a drink
In five years, but when I regained
consciousness the doctor was stand
ing over me with a glass of fine
French brandy. I drank It, and
when he asked me how I felt I re
plied that I felt like a gentleman for
the first time In five years."
Admiral Evans besought his hear
ers to work for a larger navy. He
said both coasts must be protected

Impossible to bring a fleet through

Making the Senses Acute.
It Is a prevalent oplnon that If a
human being is bereft of one sense,
one or more of the other senses be
come more acute, and thus establish
a compensation. The question Is
discussed with much shrewdness by
M. Kunz, director af the Institution
for the Blind at Illzach-Mulhausen.
The results are somewhat surprising.
As regards perception of the direction
of sound, there Is on difference be
tween the seeing and the blind. The
average distance at which sounds can
be heard was essentially the same In
both classes. The delicacy of the
sense of smell was rather in favor of
the seeing. It is generally supposed
that the palp of the forefinger of the

found not to be the case. Scientific
American-
President Homan of Willamette
university, who delivered two sermons
at the Methodist church yesterday and
nddressod the - students of the high
school this morning, is thoroughly in
nccord with the proposition to unite
the colleges of tho Willamette val
ley. The proposal was made re
cently and is being urged by the
Portland papers, as the result of the j
announcement that the trustees of
the Rockefeller fund would not give
to any of the schools in the Willam
ette valley, because the number of
schools was too great for the small
area of contrlbutar.v territory.
s Willamette University has the
most strategic location of nnv !n the
aJley. as well as being the oldest In
stitution of learning' west of the
Rocky mountains, President Homan
naturally thinks that it should bo one
of two to be retained. He thinks the
other one should be Pacific Univer
sity at Forest Grove. With the col
leges at Albany, Philomath, Xewberg.
Dallas and McMinnvIIIe, either united
with one of these two or with some
other college of their own denomina
tion In some other field. President
Homan thinks no difficulty would be
encountered In securing from the east
all the funds necessary to make two
really Important and influential re
ligious educational institutions in
Oregon.
President Homan believes there is
and always will be a field for a reli
gious educational Institution In the
state as In every other. He also thinks
that past experience In the east has
shown that one or two strong reli
gious or denomlnalonal collegi-s in
the state would do much toward
building up tho state institutions and
would bring to pass a state of affairs
where here would be no Oregon stu
dents attending Institutions in other
states and where large numbers would
be coming here to go to school.
While no move toward that end
has yet been taken, Dr. Homan be
lieves it Is entirely probable that a
conference of college presidents or
boards of trustees, may be held In
the not distant future and that the
subject of union will then be taken up
for discussion. What the outcome of
such a meeting would be Is hard to
foretell.
So far as Willamette University is
individually concrned, Dr. Homan
thinks the chances are bright, re
gardless of what action is taken In
the matter of union. The number of
students Is constantly Increasing,
while the endowment is also receiv
ing susbtantial additions. Eaton Hall,
the new $50,000 building which Is a
gift to the Institution from Robert
Eaton of La Grande, is rapidly being
rushed to completion and is nearly
ready for the roof. This building Is
of pressed brick, of modern architec
ture and will be one of the handsom
est of any educational institution In
the state when completed.
It Is planned to have a big celebra
tion in Salem In August or Septem
ber. At tha time It Is proposed to
dedicate the new building, celebrate
the 65th anniversary of the founding
of the Institution and have a big
home-coming of alumni and former
students of Old Willamette.

Originally It had been the Intention
to place the shows on the triangular

space there was not adequate to ac

that reason it was decided to place
them in the ball park where they could
