Matters of Interest to Friends of the
States Biggest School For the
Week

There are 81 students enrolled
from Seattle and King county, in
which the University of Washington
is located. 1t is thought that this
is a greater number than are en-
rolled from any other county of the
state, except Whitman. 1t is the
largest enrolment that King county
has ever sent to the college and
speaks volumes in favor of the school
here, for it is a "cinch" that if this
was not considered a better school
than the University these young men
and women would not come clear
across the state to attend this sch ool
There was great rejoicing in the
school this week when Wesley En-
glehorn, the great athlete from the
high school of Spokane, came to Pull
man and enrolled as a student. Mr..

eastern school, but when he saw so
many of his former classmates had
enrolled here he changed his mind
and decided to enroll in Washing
tons greatest school, He will play
quarter on the football team.
Professor w. T. Mcdonald. head of
the departm ent of animal husbandry
is receiving congratulations and COM
pliments on his success in buying
livestock for the college farm. When
Professor Mcdonald went east to get
some stock he went with the detremi-
nation of getting the best that could
be had, and that he succeeded is
shown by reports that are now COM
ing in. He bought number of head
of stock that could not be delivered
until after the fair season had closed,
as the stock had been entered in the
q fair exhibits. Now comes word that
two Guernsey heifers, bought from
Fox Brothers, of Waukesha, Wiscon-
sin, and entered in the Guernsey show
at the Alaska-Y Yukon-Pacffic eXposi-
ton, have taken first and second
prize over a fine Guernsey show, in
(which animals were entered from all
4parts of the United States and Cana
da. Word also comes from the state
fair of Indiana, that Poland China
boar bought by Professor Mcdonald,
took first prize at that fair. No one
Ncan doubt that Washington State Col
lege now owns some of the best live
stock in the United States.
