Elensburgh Locaiizer: When the ag-
ricultural college was located at Pullman
We spoke of it as an injudicious selection.
That on account OF its altitude it was not
suitable place, because Of Its freshness
and short seasons, for an experimental
school. Yakima, We then said, was not
only centrally located, but that all kinds
of semitropical fruits and vegetables
could be grown there and for that reason
it would be a much better location for
| the combined institutions. And since that
time we have learned more about Pull
man, which strengthens our belief that it
was great mistake locating the college
at Pullman instead of Yakima.
W. d. f. Anderson, who represents the
18th district in the legislature and who
was one of the curhmittee appointed to in

agement OF the state agricultural college
has given the Tacoma LEDGER his views
on the removal question, claiming that
removal is the only chance the college has
of being made success, and he favors
Yakima. His reasons are that the col
lege as at present located has become no.
torious and is looked upon with distrust
and suspicion that the people Of Pullman
are evidently under the impression that
it is Pullman and not state institution |;
that it should have central location /;
that the improvements are now of merely
nominal value that title to the real estate
Is clouded, and that the agricultural con-
ditions are much better at Yakima. He
says that there will never be better time
TO remove than now. All the regents are
in favor Of it except one. and he is from
Whitman county the press is generally
in favor of it, and public opinion all over
state would approve OF the project in case
it vas carried out. Pullman objects only
because she has had the concession OF
supplying the college with provisions,
which they have been charging the state
two prices for.
