The engine and baggage ear, of last
nights passenger train on the Northern
Pacific, ran off the track at Whelan.
but the conductor came on a hand-car to
Pullman, when the branch line train.
which lies in wait here until after the
regular arrives, ran down to Whelan and
brought the passengers to Pullman.
No very serious damage was done, but
the derailed engine and car had not
been placed on the rails at last accounts.
The trouble was bro1tght about through
an open switch, but the engineer saw it
in time to diminish the speed of the
train, otherwise terrible accident would
have resulted. The blame for leaving o
the switch open is laid to Bernard Balfe,
the section boss, and the probability is
that he will get his walking papers. y
The carelessness in leaving an open
switch could easily have been the cause
Of ditching the train, and the wholesale
killing of the passengers.

The CASTOR Injunction.

Paul CASTOR, of Palouse City, thought
that he had claim on a part of the
land that was given as site for the
agricultural college, and carried out that
thought by fling an order, last Satur-
day, restraining E. H. Letterman, as
trustee, from deciding the land to the
state.
z The land to which CASTOR laid claim
ias not, however, embraced in the tract
given as college site, so that no trouble
was experienced in getting deed and
clear title to the property. The deeds
and other papers were sent to the proper
authorities in Olympia, so that the Gas
ton injunction suit has cat no figure.
Deeds were sent to Olympia embracing
all the land described in the locating
committees report.

For The New School House.

The agricultural college and school OF
science are located in Pullman, and it
now behooves the citizens Of the town to
keep the public school at APPOINT of ex-

thus make Pullman the educational
center of Washington, which it will GER
tainly be.
To this end the matter of building a
new S25, 900 school house, of which. ow-
ing to the excitement pertaining to the
locating Of the college, but little has
been said for few weeks.
Before the location of the college here
there were few who objected to the
building of new school house, but
their objections have now disappeared
and there is perfect unanimity of the
citizens in calling for q new public

A Sensational Article

It was on Sunday, the 26th ult., that
the Pullman ball club went to Moscow
to play the Moscow boys. The under
standing was that it was to be only a
practice game, as Miers, manager of the
Moscow club, came to Pullman to ar
range for the game, and said that it was
only for practice and would not be con-
cidered as match game. He also offer
ed, in order to make the game a little
more even, as the Pullman nine knew
that it stood no show of winning, to
furnish a battery as good as the one
which the Moscow boys would use.
Here was where faith was first broken,
as two of Moscow's poorest players were
given to the Pullman boys, and neither
of them would make good play when
the opportunity was presented.
The members of the Artesian City
club did not, however, seriously object
to the proceeding, as they were there for
''practice" and not for glory, and enter
tanned only the friendliest feeling for
Misrs and his players But Moscow, or
Miers, it. seems was after glory, and
tries to make it appear that great vic
tory was won, and the Moscow Star, a
paper Of which Miers is half owner, in

The College Site.

1t may be interesting for the parties
who are claiming that the college site
can not be seen from town to know that
every foot of the property is in plain
view from the business portion of the
city, and that from any part of the site
every house, with the exception of two
or three, can be plainly seen. The site
adjolns the corporate limits of the town,
and has a gentle incline toward Main
street. 1t has an unobstructed view OF
the whole town, not single square foot
lying out of sight.

COLLEGE REGENTS.
The regents met at Tacoma and elected
officers. Lilly is
president.
The next meeting will be held in Pull
man on the 22nd of
this month.
Other matters concerning the College.
The CASTOR Injunction
suit.

f. j. Fellows returned Yesterday from
Tacoma, says the Spokesman, where he
attended the first meeting of the regents
of the state Agricultural college. At
the meeting Mr.. Fellows saw that
Spokane got her dues in that a Spokane
architect, H. Prusse, was awarded the
work of drawing up the plans of the
college buildings. This party atones
for the oversight that caused architects
on this side of the mountains to be
ignored when the Medical Lake asylum
contract was let.
The next meeting of the board will be
held at Pullman May %, where an Office
of the president and secretary of the
board will at once be established.
The officers of the board are: Presi-
dent, L. A. Conovel Port Townsend,
secretary, A. Lilly; treasurer, Andrew
Smith of Tacoma; clerk, Samuel
Vincent
Mr.. Lilly, the secretary, is the presi-
dent of the college. The gentleman has
been for years state superintendent of
schools of Iowa.
One of the features of the college will
be the experimental stations. At each
station will be an officer of the college,
who will have a corps of assistants and
a certain number of students. At each
station study Of the surrounding To-
cality will de made and experiments will
be performed. 1t is not yet decided
where these stations are to be located,
but it is certain there will be one east of
the mountains. There will very likely
be one at Pullman in connection With
the college, another in the Yakima val
ley to experime It in irrigation and an
other in the Big B9nd country to study
and develop Rest theories of we'll
digging. Others will be located in
various parts Of the state where the in
tervention of science is required to re-
deem sterile lands.
The college has state appropriation
at present of 100000 and the two United
States appropriations of $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively, and is making
most auspicious start.

its issue Of the last week, laudates
the Moscow boys while it proceeds to
give the Pullman club decidedly black
eye.
II this is the way in which..all of Mos
cows ''pratice games" will be played, it
should be understood beforehand, and
then the visiting club will come prepared
to play match game.
The boys Of the Pullman team do not
however, accept the, Star article as being
the Moscow sentiment, but consider it
as somewhat sensational. Moscow has
some good players, and when they win
a victory then let the Moscow papers
gloat over it, but under the existing cir
cumstances the Pullman boys are Justly
indignant.

fresh vegetables at the HERALD office
with the remark that he had often heard
how hungry an editor always was and he
had brought something to help out.
He added further that strawberries

Pullman, and that he stopped his work

trying to make people believe that there

strip of Washington ten miles wide. So
anxious is he to see the agricultural col

that he would give Idaho the best OF
this state with over half of the prosper

that Pullman is in the best agricultural

that this fertile district must be leg

be done you know; we're in Washington

The charge is now being made by
disappointed rivals that it was Doodle
that located the college here. It was
merit and merit alone that located the
institution in Pullman, for had money
had any effect this town could not have
been considered in it, for there are many
richer cities that wanted the college, and
wanted it badly, and if it could have
been purchased by money they would
