The board members were very much
eratiaed with the work OF the ladies
and it is quite probable that the ladies
will be asked to confer with the board
and librarian in the final selection Of

RAISED BY LIBRARY CON-.

The special library committee, Mes
danes Perkins,. johnson. Barker, Me-
Clure and Ayers. appointed two weeks
ago to solicit cash subscriptions for new
books for the Dickinson Carnegie library
has met with great success. When the
committee reported to the board for the
first time early this week the amount
was then but one-half dollar below the
ST, 900 mark. Nearly all had already
paid in and others had. indicated their
desire to give but had not stated the
amount. There were several still to
be seen.

MEET WILL Be HELD
At FAIR after ALL
Exposition Authorities Send Out Word
That the Meet Will Be Held as
First Planned.

Reconsideration of her refusal to
enter a team in the A.-Y.-F. confer
ence games has been made by the
State College, and the inset between
the big Six colleges will be held
next Saturday at Seattle as originally
planned Word from the fair Offic
ials was received yesterday by Man
ager Fletcher of the Whitman track
team to that effect, and the Whitman
boys will leave for Seattle Thursday
night 1t is understood that the OK
position authorities called off the
meet when the State College refused
to- enter a team because the teams
granted them by the officials of the
meet would not allow them to bring
fifteen men. for which number they
were holding out.
The Whitman squad will be COM
posed of three men. Foster will enter
the pole vault and the high jump;
Cox the half mile, and Martin the
hundred, the two twenty and the
quarter mile. Foster, who is clearing
over eleven feet in the vault, is look
ed upon as winner in that event.
The action of the officials of the
A.-Y.-P. in continuing the meet when
thei State college signifed her inten-
ton to compete after once backing
out, meets with much satisfaction, as
it will mean the bringing together OF
MANY of tho best athletes of the north
west. some Of whom hold records equal
to the best.

He said that the house
went wild over it and that he never
laughed so hard at any play before or
since.
A feature of the advertising at the
high school is a number of cartoons
of various members of the cast, which
are placed in cons picuous places about
the building. Clyde McFadden, Mason
Whitman, Helene Upington and
Clarence Ash have drawn some clever
cartoons.
That the business men of the city
back the play and have great interest
in the high school is shown by the fact
that whenever one was approached by
a representative of the class for some
favor he was invariably Accommodated.
The Toys furnished four of five cos
tunes for the boys free of charge and
