zeal departure from the regular custom OF
the Mechanics Institute.
A midwinter exhibition was an innova-
ton, and as such had considerable opposi-
ton to overcome before a genuine support
was promised.
There was much added expense and a
great deal OF active prejudice to be met.
The very fact Of this opposition only made
the directors the more determined that
their efforts should meet with an unqualified
success.
The preliminary Worlds Fair in minia-
ture at the Pavilion was designed 10 give
CsIiforniaBs the first glimpse of the

Diversified Farm, ing.

One step towards the future grand
prosperity OF our inla.G cmpire OF East
ern Washington is ayGu in the growing
tendency among tr1 farmers Of that sec
ton to 90 into diversified farming, in
stead of confning themselves solely to
wheat gaowi1g. This tendency is the
more marke in the Paouse region, the
great grain lowing section OF the state,
where hop vegetables, flax and orchard
growing r. all commencing to engage
the after lpn of the farmers. The his
tory OF tj, development OF that country
only co.ei's very brief space OF time,
but in nat time wonderful changes have
been seen. The country is extremely
rugged and hilly, and at high elevation
abov,. The water courses. 1t was only
few yns.s ago that it was considered use
less, ,'x,, pit for grazing purposes, for
which .h, rich growth OF bunch grass
seemed 70 render it peculiarly adapted.
A dariI Z experimenter planted crop OF
wheat and proved that the land was the
richest TO. that purpose on the contl-
nent. Others lowed suit, and it was
found that the s,i, vas extremely rich,
of great depth and .oaX alstible fertility.
Crops in excess of fifty ~u-aea t. To-
acre were common, and Palouse country
rapidly became the granary OF the state.
1t was still thought the elevation was too
great for successful fruit growing, but
that has since been disproved, and orch
ards are being set out in great abundance.
And now the era Of diversified farming
has set in, which will speedilyquadruple
the value OF the farms in that favored
section. Grain growing alone never
made any farming section rich, no mat
ter how well favored by nature, as too
many in the Palouse country have reason
to know by experience. 1t is the first
resource of the homesteader on new
claim. With luck, thrift, good crops and
good prices, his grain growing will en-
able him to get out OF debt and support
his family, but with diversified farming
grain, fruit, vegetables and stock-his
income will not be dependent on the
price OF any one product, and some por-
ton OF it will come in at every season OF
the year. The new era in farming, now
commenced, means prosperous future
for the Palouse country and for the whole
state OF Washington.-Seattle Press

The College and The Regents,
[Spodane Review

The Tacoma Ledger OF Wednesday re-
ports that the board OF regents OF the
state agricultural college, at meeting
held in Tacoma Tuesday, expressed a
conviction that "the college should be
removed"
"The board has an appropriation OF
$60,000 for an academic building and
repairs" reports the Ledger, and before
proceeding with the work they will visit
Seattle and Olympia, and if the senti-
ment is strong enough, will attempt to
have the removal authorized by the
state legislature.
1t is hoped that this report is untrue,
and that it will be authoritatively de-
MED. The regents can not afford to let
so severe reflection pass unnoticed.
1t indicts them with Wrecking procligi-
ties, with high-handed determination
to defy the will OF the legislature and the
people, and with disposition to take
orders from Seattle and the governors
office at Olympia. II it be true, how
ever, it is evident that the affairs of the
college have been plunged deeper into
the political mire than ever before.

ence to the doctrines held in common by
the great bodies OF evangclistic christians.
There was to be "no sacrifice of princi-
pie, no compromise of duty" nor OF
truth essential to salvation. All were to
cooperate with Christ and with one an
other in efforts to persuade and enable
