REPORT Of
ACCOUNTANT.
SHOWS STATE COLLEGE BUILD
lNGS AND LANDS TO BE WORTH
81, 100 63.

w. G. Kruegel, accountant at the
Washington State College, has COM
piled a report giving an itemized
statement of all funds expended by
that institution since its origination
in 1891, To facilitate the work the
expenditures were divided into three
sections" Maintenance" plant and
equipment and experiment station"
State maintenance expended by
the state college since 1891 amounts
to $Sl6,642.41. United States main
tenance amounts to $460,635, to-
tai since 1891 of $1,277,278.41. In
plant and equipment the college has
invested $S30.6S4. For experiment
station work state appropriations
amounting to $118,620.37; United
States funds amounting to $323,925.-
30; and local funds amounting to
$SS,323.12 have been expended, max
ing grand totals of $1.277,278.41 for
maintenance; $S3O,684 for plant and
equipment and $530,86S.79 for ex-
pertinent station work.
In figuring the per capita cost for
students educated at the college, only
one division of this expenditure is
considered, namely maintenance,
since the present value of the plant
and quipment now exceeds the origi-
nal cost, $830,6S4, while $530,S69 ex-
pended for experiment station work
has nothing to do with the instruction
of students.
Figuring the per capita cost of stu
dents at the college on a basis of
maintenance, it is found that 11,G28
students have attended the college
since 1891.

Had Troubles of Their Own

4 Ed Tower and family, Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Meyers, Edgar Austin and Rob
ert Douglass, returned the first of the
week from a camping trip in the Elk
creek district. The party reports good
fishing and an excellent time, flaw
ored with the usual camp troubles.
The first day in camp the two
horses which had provided the mo-
tive power for the trip decided that
the mosquitoes were too thick for
comfort and hied themselves for
parts unknown. On the return trip
the two ponies ridden by Edgar Aus
tin and Robert Douglass were press
ed into service and the party proceed
ed on their homeward journey. The
missing horses were picked up at
Troy, Idaho, where they had been
taking life easy in livery stable
and with a nice fat feed bill against
them.

delegates to the state convention and
the adoption of the following reso-
buttons:
We re-assert our faith in and al
legiance to the principles of the re-
publican party of the United States
as set forth in the platform of 1908,
and our belief that the principles
that kept our nation from being torn
asunler in the great war of the re-
bellion, when brother fought brother,
will sustain our flag, power and glory
in all contests that may be before us
as a nation now or that we will have
TO meet in the future.
That we endorse our present re-
publican national, state and county
administration and particularly ap-
prove of the efforts made by the ad-
miniatratiye and executive officers of
both our nation and state in attempt
ing to curb the unsatiate greed of all
men and combinations of men who.
under the guise of law, would ex-
plot the public and unjustly fill their
Golfers to the detriment of the well
fare of their fellow citizens, and their
efforts to punish officials who are
guilty of misconduct or crime in the
administration of public affairs.
That the delegates of this county
to the state convention shall use all
honorable means to secure the nom
nation of Judge Mark A. Fullerton,
now upon the supreme bench of the
