thousands of acres of arid land now a
vast area of sand and sage brush Will

people e this vicinity begin to realize
that at last the project which means so
much to them would be completed.

CRUSADE BEGINS
CONFERENCE OF ASSISTANT U. S.
ATTORNEYS BEING HELD AT
WASHINGTON TODAY.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-As a d.
rect result, it is thought of President
Roosevelt's denuncia ton of anarchists
i conference of assistant United States
attorneys who represent the bureau of
naturalization proceedings in different
parts OF the country met in Washing
ton today. The meeting, it is under
stood, has direct bearing on the an
u-anarchiSt crusade undertaken
some time ago by the department Of
commerce and labor, and which is nov
being pushed with fresh vigor. AZ
torrcy General Charles j. Bonaparte
Will take prominent part in the con-
ference. which is being held in the
department of justice and will continue
through the week.
The function of these attorneys is to
represent the government at the final
TO secure certificates of naturalization
and thus become citizens of the United
States. The bureau, under the law en-
acted l. months ago, makes an ex-
animation not only of the antecedents
of the person who desires to be nat
uralizel but an examination as well
OF the two persons who sign the appli-
cation. This examination is made
through the assistant attorneys who
are in session here. Special examiners
are detailed to assist the attorneys in
their circuits.
1t is thought that with the facilities
at the command of the attorneys they
will prove valuable adjuncts in locating
aliens OF anarchistic tendencies.

WHITMAN ENTERS
TENNIS TOURNEY
MISSIONARIES TO SEND FAST
TEAM TO SEATTLE ON
MAY 80.

What will be a new department in
northwest college athletics, is the big
six school tennis tournament to beneld
in Seattle on May 80. In tais tourna
ment, Whitman, Washington State col .
iege. University of Washington, Uni
versity of Oregon, University of Idaho
and Whitworth will take part.
This is really the first recognition Of
tennis as college athletic. Whit
man has for two years had tennis on
an intercollegiate basis, as has also
W. S. G. and perhaps one or two of the
other schools. But this big tournament,
in which practically every important
scnool in the Pacific northwest will
participate, will put the game on a new
footing and give it the place it really
deserves among college sports.
In tennis is found all the healrhful
results Of real outdoor sport. with
none of the bad results often accom-
panyine ether athletics. In the local
school there has been a great deal of
opposition to the tennis w" which
was granted several years ago. Four of
these have been given to players in
to earn than has a W. in any other
department. The fact that but two COM
pose d team, that there is but one
tournament a year. and that it is a game
requiring extraordinary skill as well
as endurance, makes il hard for this
objection to stand and this year thera
is perhaps less knocking of the tennis
"W" than there has ever been. With the
big tournament planned in Seattle the
last of next month, the game Will be
beyond reprOach and as a branch of
college athletics will be finally estab
lished, marking really, a new era in the
development of college sports.
Whitman will meet w. 5. c. in a du-
al tournament in Walla Walla this
year abour May 10 This meet will give
both teams excellent preparation for
the big meet to be held some two weeks
later. Whitman and State college stand
