some of the new equipment ready
for use by the beginning of the new
term, on September 20. This ex-

legislature, will amount to $4,000,
and just about double the present
capacity of the College. Already the
citizens of Pullman are preparing to
take care o: the increase in student
body, which is promised by the in
crease of efficiency in the College.
Residents who care for the students
have, within the last three years,
built their houses close against the
north side of the campus, and now
preparations are under way to build
on the south side. College Park Ad-
dition, as the new building area is
called, has been cut up into one hun
dred and forty lots, the sales of
which have amounted to nearly ten
thousand dollars within the last fort
night. 1t is estimated that fifty
new houses will be needed to take
care of the increase in the student
body, which will be made possible
by the authorized expenditure of
$4,000.

SCHOOL BONDS VOTED
DOWN AT PESHASTIN

PESHASTIN, June 12.-The cleo
tion held Monday at the school house
formerly that of district Is, to de-
eide whether or not bonds should be
issued in the sum of three thous9..d
and five hundred dollars, for the pur-
pose of purchasing site and erect
ing a school house on the site chosen
at the special election for the pur-
pose of determining the school house
site, were voted down by majority
of nearly two to one.
The long drawn out proceedings
through which the matter of the
consolidation of districts Is, "a and
35 have passed are at an end. For
two successive years the question has
/been brought to the attention of the
residents of the three districts,
mainly through the efforts of a few
in district Is. The former attempt at
consolidation ended in disagreement
at their first meeting.
This year however the attempt was
carried on until the time OF bond
ing the districts was talked of.
Before April IL of this year a
petition, circulated by those few in
district Is, was filed in the Office of
County School Superintendent Riste,
praying for a hearing on the matter
of consolidation. The hearing was
granted and on the above date a
fair hearing was held.
The superintendent had votes TAX
en- on consolidation, those who favor
ed it and those who did not. The
votes no doubt were in favor of the
proposed plan, for in few days
the different boards of Is, "a and 80
were notified of his decision.
st this same hearing proposed
school house sites were asked for.
The sites proposed were as follows:
Site No. ], anywhere on section line
north OF Wenatchee river bridge to
the railroad track, in district 34.
Site No 2. the site then used by
district Is. Site No. ), being nearly

h Lincoln Farm association was
organized and Incorporated under the
laws of the state of New York early in
the month of February, 1906. by a group
OF patriotic citizens, who believed that
the people of our country should,
through afiiliating with this %organiza-
ton, develop the farm in Larue county.
Kentucky, on which Abraham Lincoln
was born, into a national park.
The association. prior to its incor-
poration, acquired the title to this his
toric farm, consisting of ITO acres. The
association hopes to develop this prop
erty into ar attractive park, en-
bellished by historical museums and
properly monumental. so that 1t may
he complete for dedication on February
~, 1909, which will be the centennial of
the birth of the great war president.
The association a already recovered
the cabin in which Lincoln was born,
which was taken from the property
some years age by a speculative show
man, who put it on exhibition at sew
'eral of the prominent fairs throughout
the country.
The Lincoln Farm association believe
that the work of building this farm into
a national memorial should be accom-
pllshed by the American people. n by
their individual contributions, and not
through n appropriation from con-
gress. or through the subsidy of large
private fortunes. 1t should express the

The board Of trustees of the Lincoln
