DuNkARDS TO
BUILD COLLEGE
Rev. Sechrist, of the Location Com
mittee Looks With Favor on
This Location.

Rev. ]. C. Sechrist, of Olympia,
was here visiting his dunkard breth-
rem in Sunnyslope, several days this
week. Rev. Sechrist is one of the
committee of three appointed by the
district conference OF the dunkard
church to look up a location for a
dunkard college.
Although on his arrival here he
said nothing of his visit being for
the purpose of looking up location,
before he left he stated that he was
favorably impressed with Wenatchee
as being good location f0r the col
lege. The central location and the
healthfulness of the valley appealed
to him.
He said that the Wenatchee val
ley had none of the Objectionable un-
healthy conditions usually found in
an irrigated section. The desire is
to locate the college in healthy,
prosperous and growing city, the
most convenient to all members of
the church in this district.
The only objection raised as to
this location was the high price of
land and the cost of the site. This
objection was promptly overcome by
the assurance that the people of We
natchee would buy and donate the
grounds for the college if this place
was chosen.
The East Wenatchee Land Comp
any have. donated site for a dun
kard church on the south side of the
river. There will be large dunkard
settlement over there. There will
also he built another dunkard church
on the Columbia about three miles
up the river from Sunnyslope, max
ing three churches of this denomin-
alton near Wenatchee.

Forest Fires Raging.
BELLINGHAM, July 23.-Forest

BELLINGHAM, July 23.--Forest
fires are raging on Lake Whatcom,
and residents OF the lake have been
forced TO heroic measures to save
their property. The flames are con-
fined principally to the west side of
the lake and have destroyed hund
reds of cords of shingle bolts and
created ruin in many logging camps
Unless rain falls soon it is believed
that this years forest fires on Lake
Whatcom will be the most destruc-

For the better part of thirty days

in durance vile and slated as plain

Hon. H. c. Gunnels, State Superin- tendent of Education. gave out an iH- terview yesterday, following the de- feat of the supervision bill in ;he House yesterday morning. in which he took occasion to express his gratitica- tion at the showing made by the friends of the country boys and girls in their fight against discrimination in the schools in favor of the city chil- dren.
 The interview in fully is as follows:
 The school people of the state. while not satisfied, are gratified over the result in the House this morning as to the bill for qualified suparin- tendency. For fifteen years the friends of the children in the rural schools have been fighting to procure for them the advantages, as far as supervision is concerned. which is possessed by the children of the towns and cities. For the first time in the history of legislation the Committee on Educa- tion in both the House and the Senate have reported favorably supervision bills looking to the protection of the children of the farmers.
 ''To much credit cannot be given to MT. Lee, chairman of the House Com mittee. and to Mfr. Reynolds, chairman of the Senate Committee. and to the members of both the House and the Senate Committees and to friends Cn the floor for the advanced stand which has been taken in behalf of the country boy and girl. The fact that the meas ure was lost in the House by vote of only 51 to 37 should be gratifying and encouraging. Such vote could not have been obtained four years ago.

7wo Alabama 7owns to Go Dry
 When Georgia Goes Prohibition.

It is probably an unknown fact to most Alabamians, that if the State of Georgia goes dry on January 1st next, two towns h Alabama will also go dry as a result of the Georgia law.
 The fact seems to have been gen. erally overlooked in the discussion of the Georgia prohibition question that ten years ago a law was adopted by the Alabama Legislature providing that Phenix City, Ala. shall go dry" when Columbus, Ga. and Girard, Ala. prohibit the sale of liquor
 It was known that such an act had been passed by the Alabama Legisla- ture relative to the city of Girard. closing saloons there when Columbus should go dry. but rather curiously. the fact that such a local act had been placed on the statute books making the same provision for Phenix City. had been lost sight of by a majority of the people.
 As soon as the Opelika dispensary matter is settled a general prohibi tion election will be called for Lee County, 1t Is stated. The fact that such a law as above described Is all ready on the statue books providing that the prohibition of the whiskey traffic becomes operative in Phenix City when the law goes into effect in Columbus and Girard, will make local interest in the general prohibition sit- uation in Lee County less keen.
 The following is the Alabama law referred to:
 An Act, to prohibit the sale or giving away or otherwise disposing of vim ous spirituous or malt liquors pr in toxicating bitters or beverages. with in Beat No. 10 in Lee County.

 "I believe that the members of the House of Representatives who oppose this measure are absolutely sincere Tn the position they take; l do not be- lieve, however, that they nave itudied the question sufficiently. or that they are acquainted with conditions to such d degree as would make them realize that they have made a great mistake in the positions which they have taken

 My fight is to give to the Sl per cent of the children who live outside of towns and cities the same excellent advantages which the town and city child has. The time is coming when the laws of the State will not bear so heavily on the country child and if can be an instrument in the bringing about of this condition. I shall feel that the efforts which I have made have not been made in vain.

HOUSE KILLS
 SCHOOL BILL Refuses to Pass Bill for
 Supervision. FEARS BIG POLITICAL MACHINE Fight for Measure for Country Children Loses 5l to 37. Pitts of Perry and Pitts of Dallas Lead Battle Against Bill and Lee of
 Etowah Champions It.
FEARS BIG POLITICAL MACHINE

Whether the bill introduced to change the method of electing and the qualifications of County School Super intendents was a measure that would result in building up great politlcal machine in the State or was all that it framers claimed for 1t, an effort to give to the country school children a better system of school supervision, and the State in general better edu- cational system, was question that the House struggled with for more than an hour yesterday.
 The bill had been introduced at the instance of the Superintendent of Ed ucation, who has worked for some time past to change the system now in vogue. As soon as it was brought up yesterday there was instantly a strug- gle on in the house. Several of the members did not hesitate to say that by the passage of such a bill there would be instituted a great political machine and that the man who wanted would find this army of paid supervi- sors a great help in the securing of it..
 MT. Pitts of Perry and MT. Pitts of Dallas championed the cause against the adoption of the bill, while MT. Lee of Etowah fought equally hard for its passage. The former charged that the bill would take thousands of dollars of the school fund money which properly ought to go to the teachers and direct ly to the education of the children. to provide "soft berths" for a lot of peo- ple who delight to ride over the coun- try talking politics and living at the expense of some of the leading people of the townships they visit.
