WASHINGTON, Dec 21--Congress

staken toward a congressional inves-
tgation over the controversy between
Secretary Ballinger and Chief Fores-

A resolution by Senator Flint call
'ng for all the papers bearing upon the

to the senate a letter from Secretary
Balinger, virtually demanding an in

also expressing the belief that any in
quiry should be broad enough to cover
the ''pernicious activity of officials" in
the forestry service as we'll as the al
legged basis for any charges against
the administration of the interior de-
partment.
resolution by Senator Gore nam
ing an investigating committee of
eight members of the senate and house

should be done over again.
after ten minutes Of the enthusiasts
tic riot. during which, the visibly en-
barrassed tragedian kept right on
bowling, he began to point to his throat
for the purpose of indicating, or try
ing to indicate, that it would be too
much of a tax upon his vocal powers
to attempt to do the big, heavy speech
all over again.
"They understood the meaning of
his pantomime instantly and they be-
gan to toss gold coins on the stage
PRESENTLY there was a veritable show
er of god coins hitting the state with
a ring from all parts of the house
1--WE don't want We t do it ag'in FIR
nothin, pail big-voiced man bawled
at the tragedian, at the same time
tossing a bunch of gold coins right at
the actor from a forward orchestra
seat, but you gotta do it ag'in, you
know; you jes' nachu'ly gotta!
Then the tragedian, hearing the
howl of approval that greeted the big
voiced mans words, saw that he was
up against it, and, no doubt the show
err of gold helped to appease him in
no slight degree for being up against
it. He made a signal to the company,
and they took their places again and
he did the 'Ye call me chief speech
again, even more robustiOusly than
before, and they cheered him for five
minutes even after he had done it
the second time. l couldn't help but
stake myself to a quiet laugh as
meditated upon what would have
happened had the tragedian been the
late Richard Mansfie d and had that
bunch demanded that he do a scene
over again."

buttons which has ever been made to
the museaum of historical antiquities
at Whitman and especially to those
which serve as a reminder of the early
days of the Northwest Territory ana
historical date of the Inland Empire IS
the RECEIPT by the college of an old
coffee box which was the property of
DR.. and Mrs. Marcus Whitman and
which was in use by them at the
Waiilapu Mission prior to 1S47 when
the Mission was destroyed by the In
dams. The box came into possession
of the college through the kindness
and generosity of Katherine Sager
Pringer of Spokane, an adopted
daughter of DR.. Whitman and one OF
the few rvivors of the Whitman
massacre.
She was captured by the Indians az
the time of the massacre, with the
rest of the women and children, and
ED captive for some time. Miss Sadie
Collins. a present Freshman at Whit

Pringer
The following letter was received
