BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL
MEN PLEDGE SUPPORT FOR
GREATER WHITMAN.

To show that they are really behind
the movement for the New Whitman
college, the business and professional
men of the city who gathered at the
Y. M. c. A. building yesterday. pledged
themselves to raise 100000 in Walla
Wala as a nucleus for the building
and endowment fund that is to be ten
times that amount before the campaign
is finished
In order to do this the New Whit
man College Development league was
formed. every man present signing the
roll of the new organization without the
slightest hesitation. This league will
appoint committees to go after funds
and go afte,' them hard. The raising
Of the money means much to the city
and more to the college.
Much enthusiasm prevailed at the
meeting yesterday and while all real
lied that there would be a long and
hard struggle before the amount de-
sired was finally raised, yet no one
doubted but that it would be raised.
And all realized that the two millions
IcannOt be raised here. But to show the
people of the country that they are in
earnest and that they mean business.
they agreed to be responsible for one
tenth the required amount This will
all be raised before the campaign out
side the city is started. Then an eff
fort will be made to secure 100000
more in the Pacific northwest. And
when this is secured. the committee Of
40 representative men from the north
west will go east and come back with
$1.500,000 more. And the New Whit
man will then be realized.

But 1t is With regard to the Industry
OF raising goats that we particularly
desire to call the attention OF the pub

very small outlay in a few years there
can be reaped a rich harvest; for with
herd OF say one thousand head the
revenue will be enormous, as often
times within one year the increase Is
as much as from sixteen hundred to
two thousand per cent The flesh OF
the goat is as palatabIe as the best
mutton, and they do not require as
much care as sheep. The hides of
goats are worth doubly as much as
sheep hides. and the importation OF
goat hides into this country amounts
up 70 many millions OF dollars.
