ABOUT WENTWORTH COLLEGE

The storm that has been gathering over
Whitworth college grows darker and some
of the friends Of the institution fear for
its safety. Students are ready to revolt
at the very thought of having their anuse-
ments curtailed, and members Of the fac
uty who were not deposed threaten to
resign If the board does not reconsider its
summary action of last week.
The real animus of tho whole affair,
said prominent Presbyterian, speaking
to The Times, "is that the directors have
determined to dictate the policy Of the

SALMON TROLLING
A FAVORITE SPORT

There is probably no greater sport than
trolling for salmon. II is one of the
gamest OF fish and fighter from the time
it takes the hook until it is landed, One
man trolling in the vicinity Of Browns
point yesterday landed 81 pounds in a
short time. Needless to say that his hat
was about two sizes too small after that.
Trolling for salmon is becoming a fa-
vorite sport with many fishermen who
formerly got their sport fishing for trout
or bass.
