year Besides a college department
there will be preparatory depart
ment, a school of commerce and a
night school,

of the college will be the law school.
The faculty is composed of the best
lawyers of the city of Spokane, and
this is a guarantee that it will com.
pare favorably with other law schools
OF the west. The following are on the
faculty:

the Inland Empire and this will insure
confidence in the institution at the
outset. The law school will be in ses

that business men who are too busy
in the day may get a chance to avail
themselves of the opportunity to get
a legal education, without interfering
in any way with their business.
The college will stand as an expon
ent of the Christian education, as thu
only education which educates tn
mind and heart at the same time. TIL
discipline of the school will be base
on Christian principles and encourage
ment will be given to all Christian
work among the students.

An attempt VS. made recently to
wreck a passenger train on the ella
Valley railroad. Large posts were
driven upright across the track near

That the Chinaman and the Amer.

as reasonable deductions can be

of travelling in single file the Chinese
prove their relationship to the RED
