UNIVERSITIES
ARE NOT BIG It
OTHER COLLEGES ARE JUST AS
IMPORTANT TO NORTHWEST
ATHLETICS.

Coach Johnny Bender and Manager
Lilligren of the Washington State col
lege athletic teams will work hard to-
prevent the formation. of northwest
ern Intercollegiate conference which
shall include only the universities of
Washington, oregon and Idaho. The
scheme as originally proposed includes
all the larger colleges i'm the northwest.
"The three large state universities
of the northwest will find that they
are makdns a great mistake if athey at
tempt to organize among themselves
close corporation for northwest col
lego confer nee an dexclude all the
other large colleges" says j. NJ Lilli-
gren. manager of the Washington
State College team.
There are at least four other col
leges which have in the past few years
played just as prominent a part in
northwest intercollegiate athletics as
the three state universities of Oregon.
Idaho and Washington. They are Ore
gon A. c.. Washington State. Whit
man and Willamette. They have pro-
duced just as many star athletes. they
have won just as many championships,
they have held just as rigidly to anna
teur rules. they have done just as much
for pure amateurism. they haye helped
by just as much to advance the inter-
ests of all that is right and proper in
northwest college athletics as the three
universities, and they are entitled to
just as much credit. Any organization
of colleges to include only these three
institutions would be incomplete and
would be misnomer if it was calcu
lated to be representative intercol-
legiate organiza ton of the Pacific
northwest.
Washington State college is just as
eager as any other institution TO do
the right thing i'm athletics and has
tried just as hard to do so.
IF the three universities don't want

versities. We don't put ourselves in the
attitude of beggars, but we want 10

standard of athletics and for the gene

tested last evening at the Wilbur Me-
mortal church when nearly 400 MEM
bers of the congregation gathered to
participate in one of the most notable
receptions ever held in the city.
The gathering, while considered a So
cial event of great Importance to the
church, in that so members We're for
mally received into the fold, was
equally important from a historical
standpoint. as many valuable curios
We're displayed. Undoubtedly the most
talked of curio in the rare collection
presented by Walla Wallans was the
small black block from the original
charter oak. The relic was exhibited by
Mrs. c. NJ Weisenfiue and was
chopped froms the tree by her father,

INVESTED IN
HURST COMPANY
LOCAL MEN HAVE MUCH STOCK
WHICH APPEARS TO BE
WORTHLESS.

Walla WamA investors in the Hurst
Automatic Switch company have to all
appearances, been handed a nice juicy
lemon, with little chances of their ever
reaplng any return On the good money
that was invested in the company's
slock When the device was first placed
on the market as a means for selling
STOCK to erect factory and manu-
facture the switch on a large scale
Tor the big railroads. The first intim-
a'lon that the Hurst stock is dead
one comes from the Pendleton East
Oregonian which says:
Many local people will remember
when the Hurst automatic switch
company had headquarters here and
sold stock in their concern. Some
now remember them with sorrow for
they bought stock in the CORPORA =
ton and thus far they have received
no returns from their Investment
one of those who invested good
money in the Hurst company is Jobr.
Glilliand, Janitor of the court house.
Not only did Mr.. Gilliland buy a con-
SIDERABLE block of stock outright from
the Hurst people, but he afterwards
cornered some shares which friends of
Ills bought, but later desired to sell at
discount. AS result of his specula-
tlons he now has 130 shares in the
hurst company. The par value of the
stock is SO per share. but when the
company was operating here, stock
sold at about $3.50 per share.
1t is known that many others aside
from Mr.. Gilliland purchased stock in
| the switch company while much busi-
ness was also done at Walla WalIa.
10 sosle of their local patrons the pro-
moters claimed they had sold $4,000
worth OF stock to people of the Garden
City. Whether or not they did such a
fabulous business there is a matter
upon which opinions may well differ.
According to Mr.. Gilliland he was
personally acquainted with some of
the people in the concern. having
known them in Wyoming and if was
through his faith in their integrity that
lie became an investor III the company
But it was two years ago that the
company appeared here and the con-
tlnued failure to realize on their in

MI. Gllilland wrote to the general of
nee of the company ihquiring as to the
state of affairs. In reply it was stated
that nothing could be done by the COM
pany at the time owing to the unset

world has been thrown by President
Roosevelt.

DAINTiEs THAT WILL PLEASE
AFTERNOON CALLERS.
Many Kinds Of Biscuit and Cake, and
OF Course Jam, Are Served At
This Increasingly Popu-
lar Function.

Since the custom of taking aft
srnoon tea is not only well estab-
lished in this country but now in
danger of becoming an untimely
feast It is astonishing to note the
numerous little dainties and extra
trimmings which are being served to
piQue and delight the appetite. 1t is no
longer merely cup Of tea and slice
OF thin bread and butter that may be
expected between four and $50
o'clock; jam has been added to the
list and often hot Scotch scones and
English mullins. Besides the tea
table proper there stands usually Q
sort Of rack table, pyramidal in
shape and having three shelves, one
above the other and round like plates.
Each one is covered with attractive
china holding some fascinating bis
cult or cake. Jam of one or two kinds
is suggested In between them and
after the hostess has ascestained
which jam and biscuit her guest pre-
fers she spreads 1t for him herself
before passing 1t on a small plate.
This little attention appears very
gracious.
Among the biscuits those of
health food" reputation are often
found and jam is spread over them to
add to their somewhat questionable

tastiness. Other hostesses have fine,
small, nat waters of whole wheat COW
cred with chocolate In their own
Kitchens before serving. They are
then above reproach to pass with tea.
The biscuit itself is digestible. the
chocolate tasty and nourishing. Bis
cults covered with cheese. on the
contrary, while highly agreeable to
the taste. are avoided by those hyper
careful about their diet.
Strawberry jam Is undoubtedly the
favorite for spreading on English
mufins. Blackberry jam or guava
is chosen to spread on the health
food biscuits, especially those made OF
graham or whole wheat. Scotch
scones are spread only through the
middle with fresh butter. These
scones are very similar to old-fash-
ioned soda biscuits and are invariably
served hot. In size they are little
larger than a quarter Of dollar. The
number that some people can make
disappear is therefore readily coun-
tenanced.
Wafer toast finds place at after
noon tea. In making 1t the bread il
cut as thin as possible and it is then
toasted until extremely crisp. 1t is
eaten dry or with jam, but 1t is never
buttered.
When cake appears at afternoon tea
the fashion RACES for rich pound
cake showing through 1t many large
raisins. Europeans invariably refer
to 1t as American plum cake" and
regard 1t as speciality of this coun-
try. In entertaining foreigners, there
fore, it is perhaps the most acceptable
cake to offer.
