ATHENA, MAY 10 1895,

THE LETTER of the president Of
Whitman college proves once again
the soundness of the hackneyed
saying that truth is stranger than
fiction, says the New York Tribune
The work which DR.. Marcus Whit
man did for our Northwest a half
century ago is immense, and yet
the name Of this pioneer hero is
almost forgotten. Very properly
he was included in DIR. Storrs' re-
cent address before the Brooklyn
institute on "Some Unrecognized
Builders of the Nation" No one
can question, after reading Presi-
dent Penroe's account Of DR.. Whit
mans winter journey on the Rock
les to Washington in 1842-43, that
his efforts alone saved to the Unit
ed States the region out of which
the three splendid states Of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho have been
carved. DR.. Whitman's sole mem
orial is Whitman college, at Walla
Walla, Wash, founded in 1850
through the efforts of q friend and
fellow-worker. 1t is struggling
institution, but is doing a work di-
rectly on the line of that to which
