college a permanent endowment. While
In Chicago recently he was interviewed by
the Inter Ocean, OF that city. He had a

already the highest standard OF any insti-
tuition In the state. higher a good deal

something OF a smallness which should

any institution in the state of Washington.

. WARNING TO THE COUNCIL.

n WANING TO THE COUNCIL.
The city council is still dallying with
the tide lands matter. Some of the men,
bers profess to be skeptical as TO the state
ment that their obstructive policy is
driving money out OF the city. but II it is
continued they may receive a very con-
vincing proof of the mischief they are
working.
Take. for instance. the Moran contract
for the construction OF torpedo boat.
The firm is bound by heavy bonds to COM
plete the work within nfteen months.
Before it can be started massive and ex-
pensive machinery must be erected. 1t
cannot be put up until title to the site can
be assured. II there Is any considerable
delay the firm will subject itself to
serious and entirely unnecessary loss.
Other cities are jealously watching the
course Of events. We warn the council
that they are seriously Jeopardizing the
eity's interests, and mourning risk CT a
loss which it VIII take many years to re-
cover from.
Already offers have come TO the firm CT
site and machinery which It would be TO
its interest to accept. The entire matter Is
one OF business. Neither the government
nor the firm will be tr.hed with where
there Is so much at stake.
