special TO Inc Herald.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-With con-
tributions pouring in at an average
rate of about $2S,000 week, the fifth
week of the local campaign of George
Washington university for funds to pur-
chase a site upon ~-hich to erect build
ingS for the new national clearing
house for knowledge came to an end.
The committees having the work in
charge hope to secure 100000 before
the country at large to contribute to an
endowment fund, and an effort will be
made to build up this endowment fund
to proportions that will permit of the
establishment Of new courses that will
attract students and scholars from
throughout the civilized world.
Administration officials, from Presi-
dent Roosevelt down, are watching with
deep interest the work of the local COM
mittees. The task is not an easy one,
for with the elimination of the negro
population, which is large, the govern
ment clerks, whose salaries are not so
great as to permit them the luxury of
subscribing heavily, and the floating
population, which deserts the capital in
summer or when congress is not in ses-
sion, the field from which subscriptions
can be drawn is necessarily very linn
tied.
In spite of this, however, the local
fund win be raised here, and with this
basis to work upon it is regarded as GER
tain that the response from patriotic
Americans will assuredly be generous.

gentlemen, 1 am not sure whether the
masses do their duty as thoroughly as
do the classes. 1 am filed with ad-
miration for men like Rockefeller and
Morgan and the others Of whom DIR.
Miller (the secretary of the schooD
spoke. They have great fortunes, but
they direct their diffusion rightly
Their wealth is like a reservoir, into
which run little streams from the
mountains, which of themselves would
be no use to mankind
Mr.. Schiff pointed out that the med.

wealth they had collected from the
masses, by showing the general run Of
mankind that it was a good thing thai
the means of doing things had been
concentrated in the hands of the few
who could use them wisely.
Yes, DOCTORS" he said, "who come
in touch with all classes cannot do bet

OMAHA, Neb., April 1S.-Five inches
of snow fell during the night and the
storm continued during the afternoon.
The fall was general over eastern Ne
braska and Is the heaviest known In
April for many years. The extent OF
damage, If any, is not known.
Opinion as to the effect upon fruit
and early vegetables varies. In some
counties along the southern and CEN
tral belts, cherries, peaches, plums and
berries are said to have been ruined
almost entirely, while other growers
report that fruit was not far enough
advanced to be seriously endangered.
In grain circles it is said the snow
will kill all the green bugs which have
been threatening the winter wheat
crop and spreading over the great por-
ton of the state.

VIII Honor us Now.

Dr. Harrington has received notice
from The University of Chicago, The
University of Illinois situated at Ev-
anston, ILL.,, and the Stanford Univer-
sity, at Palo Alto, California, that
students will be received at each of
these schools on their certificates
form The Blackfoot School without
having to stand examination there.
This gives our school standing
which it has not enjoyed before, and
is an advantage to the pupils going
there for schooling. For example,
when Miss Violet Gray went to Berk-
eley, California to enter The State
University this year, she did not
know that she would have to be there
in time for the entrance examinations
and as we were not on the list of
schools whose certificates are hon
ored, she was barred out, for they
would not give special examinations.
Miss Gray returned to Idaho and en-
tered the University at Moscow, los
ing the time and expense of the trip
to California and back.
