HONOR STUDENTS
TO BE ANNOUNCED

According to an announcement made
in chapel this morning by President
S. B. l.. Penrose of Whitman college
the honor students of the Freshman
Sophomore and Junior classes viii be
announced at commencement time the
same as in the case with the members
of the graduating class. This is an
entirely new Innovation at the college.
The stand was taken by the faculty
with the view that it would serve as
an additional impetus for better class
work on the part of the majority of
students The members of the three
lower classes in order to have their
names announced with honor at the
commencement exercises will be re-
quired to obtain an average of 80 per
cent in their studies.

SENIOR GLASS
MEETS TONIGHT

The first meeting of the Senior class
of Whitman will be held this; evening
in the parlors of Reynolds hall. This
is the first meeting which the class
has had this semester and it is ex-
nected that some important business
will come up for discussion. The final
report of the management of the Ju-
nior Annual will be made and provl-
sions will be discussed for raising the
indebtedness on the book, Another
matter which it is expected will bring
forth much discussion is the matter
of wearing caps and gowns. The girls
of the class are highly in favor of the
Seniors wearing the caps and gowns
every morning to chapel. The boys
of the class as general rule are not
in favor of the plan. 1t is expected
that a compromise will be made as was
the case with the Senior class last
wear when OF was decided to wear the
caps and gowns to chapel only once a
week and that day to be the one on
which the extra musical numbers by
the chapel choir are given.

One of the most important transact

filed, showing that the Spokane, Walla

had purchased the entire holdings of
the Columbia & Walla Walla Traction

authority, however, that the real con-

Symonds, formerly of Spokane, and M.
S. Parker. of Seattle. The deed was
filed by L. C. Goodwin.

phone in the pest house and, il is nee
essary for the one attendant to go to
the poor farm when a physician is
needed immediately or when any oc-
casion arises where the service of a
telephone is required.
The commissioners told the commit
tee that they would gladly consider
the matter of hospital and now have
it under Amusement. 1t is hard to tell
what action will be taken but none
is looked for at this session Of the
board.
The ladies maintain that those suf-
smallpox should be iven attention and
be surrounded by conditions second to
none, and that Walla Walla county is
now city of sufficient size to justify
a first class county hospital with mod
ern improvements and "a capable corps
of physicians and nurses.
The ladies further say that if this
county had a good county hospital
cases from other counties would be
brought here and in this way consid-
cradle money would be realized by the
county
The society is also contemplating a
plan whereby the poor farm shall be
put on a self supporting basis and
the money that now goes to the poor

Dr. J. F.. Crop, against Frank Yuse
PENDANT by DIR. Crop was decided in
the justice court this morning. Mr..
Galloway asked for $500 for services
rendered on the part of DR.. Cropp.
Justice OF the Peace T. M. McKin-
ney decided that Yuse owed $500 for
the medical services, while Galloway
owed $500 as costs of the court, which
left Galloway with $500 less than when
he began action. The reason for this

A WONDERFUL RECORD
A Saving of Over $4,000 to the Prop
erty Owners of the Pacific Coast

A Saving of Over $4,000 to the Prop
erty Owners of the Pacific Coast.
The annual report just issued by the
Northwestern Mutual Fire association
of Seattle shows that since organiza-
ton it has saved its policy holders
over $750,000 as compared with the
rates Of other companies, that it has
paid 1875 losses amounting to more
than 100000 and that these losses
have been paid in an average time of
only three days between receipt of
proof and date of payment. It also
shows that the company has one-third
greater cash resource sin proportion to
the necessary amount to carry policies
to expiration than the ten largest
stock companies in the United States
The largest company does not neces-
sarily mean the strongest. The larg-
est bank in the United States is in
New York city, but you do not do your
banking there because we have just
as safe banks in our own state. There
is certainly no reason why a Pacific

HUMANE SOCIETY
ASKS HOSPITAL

While in session yesterday afternoon,
the board Of county commissioners re-
ceived a rather unexpected visit by a
delegation of women from the Walla
county pest house, which, the ladies
claim is a disgrace to the county and
wholly inadequate to meet the coun-
tvs needs. Nor did they stop there,
the ladies also thinking that the poor
farm was also badly in need of repairs
and Improvement.
In speaking of the conditions at the
pest house, after the ladies had taken
their departure, Chairman Harper
said:
Until the present time the pest
house heretofore has been capable of
handling the entire number of small
poX cases in the city. 1t is true the
quarters are cramped during the pres
ent epidemic but that will not last
long,
The ladies of the Humane society
conferred with County Health Officer
Stiles last week about reported condi-
tions of the pest house and at that
time he told them to have no fear
as the seven patients were amply pro-
vided for and were being accorded the
best of care.
The pest house is at the county
poor farm, though it is a sufficient dis
tance from the main building to in
sure perfect safety to the inmates Of
