"MacDoWell Hall is the name chosen
by the board of trustees of Whitman
college for the Whitman conservatory
of music, this action having been taken
at a meeting of the board yesterday
morning. The name was chosen IN
honor of Edward Mcdowell, the fam
Gus American composer.
1t has been known for some time
that the trustees were going, to name
the auditorium of the new building
after some great musician or some
staunch friend of the college. Not
until the meeting held in the law
offices of Allen H. Reynolds yester-
day morning however was the matter
finally decided. The conservatory OF
music building itself is not named for
Mcdowell, but only the concert hall
within the building.
Edward MacDowell was one OF the
foremost of American composers. he

timated at slightly over 1,5Oo'ood

The heavy demand for bags on the
first day the order books were open

hundreds of farmers from the wheat
growing sections of the state were in
the city attending the farmers mass
meetings. and took advantage Of the
onnortunity to place their orders. The
entire apportionment of Walla Walia

figures were cut up into counties and
the sack apportionment made from
this basis. Walla Walla county was
entitled to $4,000 sacks, or not quite
enough TO sack the combined crop
Of four Of the heaviest wheat growers
in the county.
There is a heavy demand for sacks
this year and it is believedsthat every
county will take it's appOrtienment OF
prison made sacks. Heretofore, how
ever, there have been thousands not
taken by April LIST, when the counties
rights are no longer observed and ii
is a case of first come first served
after that date. Unless Walla Wal
lans can purchase several thousand
of sacks after April LIST, hundreds or
thousands of sacks will have to be
shipped into the county.
There is a ten per cent reduction
in the price of sacks this year sold
by the penitentiary.

Ottawa, Ont, July 23.-Mckenzie
King, minister of labor, received this
evening from Jas. Murdock of the

mittee an acceptance of the govern

The possibility of bringing about a
settlement of the Grand Trunk rail-

looked somewhat brighter tonight.
James Murdoch, representing the
men, wired Mckenzie King, Minis
ter of labor this evening, expressing
willingness ITO refer existing diff
ferences to arbitration provided q
board of arbitration mutually accep-
table can be secured"
Minister King is satisfied that Muir

trying to obtain uneQui vocal state
ments from the Grand Trunk off,

President Hays wired during the
day that he had nothing to add to his

the position that the board Of arbitra-

GRAND TRUNK STRIKE TO
Be SETTLED BY A BOARD
TRAINMEN WILLING ARBITRATION
DENT HAYS STATED At oNS TIME THAT sUPPos-
ED TO ARBITRATION - BE SET
TIED AT ONCE BY ROADS AND MEN,

President Hayes was not aware of
the changed attitude of the trainmen
however. and King at once wired a
copy of Murdock's telegram, which is
as follows:
IF there appears to be reasonable
doubt in the minds of any parties in
terest in this controversy suggestive
OF the fact that the same plan of
arbitration that successfully settled
the same questions on a number of
other lines would be unfair and incon.
siderate of the rights of either party
to the dispute in this case. that is
matter to conserve interests of the
party whose rights were likely to suf
fer by an acceptance of the plan Of
arbitration used repeatedly hereto
fore. 4
I'VE will be willing to refer the ex-
listing differences to arbitration pro-
vided a board of arbitrators mutually
acceptable can be secured"
In view of the fact that President
Hayes has at no time taken q posi-.
tive stand against arbitration, the feel.
ing here is more hopeful that Minis
ter Kings persistent efforts to place
the whole controversy before = board
of arbitration win be successful.
