there. The people there were always
true, stalWart Americans.
Il gave them money for the purpose
of enlarging the college that they
might bring in the mountain whites
around there. There were three or
four millions of poor, ignorant whites
in the surrounding mountains. 1 gave
them money that they might build up
their institution and offer an educa-
tion to these mountain whites.

went there also to establish a school
in which to educate the poor noun
tain whites
But he answered me. why did
you build water works there? That
is no part of education. You spent
$5O,000 for water works there.
But this was my reason. The scohol
is located upon a high mesa and
though the wells are very deep, in
dry seasons they dry up and the peO-
pie are without water except what they
get from small brook half a mile
away. Typhoid fever broke out among
the students. Soon there were four
teen cases. Now I had already spent
$250,000, and was in danger of losing
it unless i did something to protect
the health of that place. So I ordered
them to put in the water works at an
expense of $4,000. The water was
to come from II springs in the noun
tains and as the rise was 200 feet
the water was forced all over th5
buildings.
And WaIIa WaIia.
The next question was this. Why
are you going out to Walla Walla
where you know no one?'
I'm 1847 there was a representative
in congress, men by the name OF
Thurston, and native of Maine. Dur
ing his vacations he stayed at the
home of my neighbor and he was in
the habit of spending his evenings
with me and my wife on the piazza
talking about the northwest. He was
a very interesting talker, and his de-
scriptive powers were remarkable. My
wife was very much interested and
one morning after he had gone, she
| said to me: I think you would better
go west. You were cut out for a busi-
ness man and not for DOCTOR
What do YOU mean by that

Judging from the conversations
you had with this representative from
the northwest, I think you would be
a natural money maker
place was sold and the, money in my
pocket, and we started west. We got
as far as Chicago, but did not think
