The Rev. w. L. EuSter has returned
from trip through the Palouse country
where, in connection with the Rev. M.
II. Marvin of Pullman, he has been
giving a series of lectures. Mr.. Euster
saws that a college is being built on
Union Flat about six miles from ColfaX
by new religious organization which
has lately been started in that part of
the country and which has taken to itself
the title of Saints of God" 1t is an
organization, which, though only a
couple of years old, is growing rapidly,
and which has in addition to the faith of
the United Brethren church, belief in
faith cure and . literal Interpretation OF
the scriptural injunction to 'wash each
others feet. ."-Spokane Chronicle.
The regents of the college were in
session the early part of the week, and
accepted the new administration build
ing. The state appropriated $4,000 for
this building, but the regents had 1t
built for $42 900. This is the one case
in the history of the public institutions
of the state where a deficiency was not
created. The agricultural college is most
judiciously managed.

Almota, have applied for admission to
the Whitman county bar. Mr.. and Mrs

passing the examination. Mrs. Harvey
will be the first lady lawyer in the
county.
