submitted the proposition for the Agri
cultural college location, was in the city
today, and brought over the deeds tC
the property.
The Spokane Review of a recent date
printed an interview with @. H. Cham
berlain, in which the latter intimated
that the Pullman Land company owned
property on which the college was to be
located.
DIR. Webb formerly held sixth inter
est in the company, and was asked today
what the remark meant. There is not a
particle of uth in the inference, he
said. The facts are these:
ION the first day of May, 1891, John
W. Froman, the man who originally
settled the land and lived on it decided
lft to Edward Letterman, and on the
same day the land comprising 1S9 acres
was decided to the state.
Mr.. Chamberlain says that the college
was" to have been located on land be-
longing to the Pullman Land Company.
This is false. The Pullman Land com
pany never owned any land within ten
miles of Pullman. The only land which
it owned was on an island situated at
the east end Of Main street, originally
containing eleven lots and fraction
over, lots 50x80 feet. The Pullman
Land company never had but eleven lots
and they are sold, there being but two
or three lots remaining. There was,
however, Pullman Townsite company
organized two or three years ago, en-
braclng tract of land containing nine
ty acres more or less, which was di
glded into town lots, and up to October
last two-sixtieths of it had been sold,
the balance was turned over to a real
estate man from Kansas City for sale
and the amount remaining is about |
seven acres. This land OF the Pullman
Iownslte company is about three-fourths |
of mile from the site of the college.
A Port Townsend reporter inter
viewed DR.. Conover, a member of the
locating commission, and Mr.. Conover
said the following in answer to the re-
porters questions:
"Yes, L have seen several editorials in |
the Globe bearing upon the subject. |
When Governor Laughton says i asked
them (the commissioners to make the
selection they deemed for the best inter
9sts OF the state he simply tells the
truth, as least so far as [ am concerned.
The Globe persistently calls for an ex-
planatlon from the two eminent gentle
men constituting a majority of the com
mission AS one of these eminent gen
5lemen' l may say that I stated to the
editor Of the Globe last Friday, in per
son, that [ voted for Pullman because.
n my Judgment, it presented the most
eligible site and best natural advantages:
hat | did SO without fear or favor, and
nat L assumed the full responsibility
d my action. Isn't that enough?"

Some OF the papers seem to think
that it is Pullman and not Whitman
county that has got the college. For
their interest we will say that it is Whit
man county that won a victory, and
any tight they make against Pullman
regarding the college, is against Whit
man county. Whitman county in whole
should feel proud of having the college
IN Its midst, and Pullman does feel proud
TO know that she had advantages which
made 1t possible to have the college To-
Gated here.

THE LOST OASIS FOUND.
Explorers Had Looked for Il in Vain Nv
Since GfIoa nascovarod IT

Explorers Had Looked for Il in Vain Evel
sinoo Giles Discovered 1t.
In 1875, when Mr.. Z. Giles made
his famous journey across the South.
srn part Of Australia, travelling
thraugh deserts that had never beer
visited before, he discovered a place
that was green and fertile. This
oasis in the desert was the result of
some SPRINGS which came to the sur
face there and gave the country for a
long distance around the aspect of
rich and verdant agricultural lands.
He named the place Victoria Spring,
and when he came home he said
many thousands of cattle or sheep
could be raised there. He had no
where seen more promising grazing
land than this oasis.
Curlously enough, he did not ac-
curately define the position Of Vic
toria Spring. Ever since his jour-
ney the place has been marked
upon the maps, but several explorers
who tried to find Victoria Spring have
failed, and some critics were unkind
enough to intimate that the oasis had
existed only in the imagination Of the
man who described it.
The news comes now from Australia
that Victoria Spring has been discov-
cred again. Mr.. ]. P. Brooks writes
from lsraelite Bay to Baron Won
Muller, who is well known for his
important labors in behalf of Austral-
ian exploration, that Swede named
Frank Neuman has found Victoria
Spring. The letter says that the
spring Is 1875 miles north Of the
Frazer range of mountains, in the
southern part of West Australia, and
that hereafter this oasis may be easily
reached from the south coast. Neu-
man says, as Giles reported earlier,
that animal life is abundant, that
there is fine growth of grass, and
that about 1900 acres are splendidly
adapted for sheep or cattle raising.
In fact, it is very beautiful and fer
tile oasis in the midst of a sea of sand
which will never be turned to any
profitable account. But the most
curious thing about Victoria Spring
is that although all the maps have
shown it where it was supposed Giles
found the spring, no one was ever
able to run across it during the six
teen years since he discovered it until
the present time. AS near as can be
ascertained he located it about fifty
miles from its position, and no subse.
quent traveller has ever happened to
sea it.

Singular Instance of Longevity.

A certain housebreaker was condemned
in the latter part of the last century in
France, and under peculiar circumstan-
ces, to a hundred years in the galleys;
and, strange to relate, this man recently
made his appearance in his own native
provinced at the advanced age of one hum
dred and twenty, he being about twenty
years of age when the sentence which
cundemned him to so dreadful punish
ment was passed. 1t is difficult to con-
ceive what the feelings must have been
with which he returned, as soon as en-
ancipated from the shackles which had
enthralled him for century, to breathe
once more the cherished air of the scenes
of his infancy. Bourg, in the depart
ment of Ain, was his native home; but
time had SO much changed the aspect of
the whole place that he recognized it
only by the old church of Brou, which
was the only thing that had undergone
no alteration. He had triumphed over
laws, bondage, man, time, everything.
Not relation had he left, not q single
being could he hail as an acquaintance;
yet he was not without experience the
homage and respect the French invaria-
bly, pay to old age. For himself, he
had forgotten everything connected with
his early yonth; even all recollection of
the crime for which he had suffered was
lost, or, if at all remembered, it was but
dreary vision, confounded with
thousand other dreary visions of days
long gone by, His family and con-
nections for several generations all dead,
himself a living proof of the clemency
of Heaven and the severity of man, re-
gretting, perhaps, the very irons which
had been familiar to him, and half wish
ing himself again among the wretched
and suffering beings with whom his fate
had been so long associated-well might
he be called the patriarch of burglars.
