The Steamboat,

Fulton himself said one day: "Nel-
ther NJ. Desblancs nor l invented the
steamboat. If that glory belongs to
any one 1t Is to the author of the ex-
periments at Lyons-of the expert
ments made in 1888 on the Saone."
The one Fulton had in mind and to
whom he thus generously rendered the
"glory" was the Marquis de Jouffray,
born in 1851, fourteen years before the
year Of Fulton's birth. Jouffray's
claim to be regarded as the inventor
Of the steamboat stands thus: His ves-
sci, built in 1888, Notwithstanding its
faulty construction, embodied all the
elements essential to success. In 1t he
anticipated Watts invention of a
steam engine having a constant and
unremitting action. Lack of funds
was the only thing that stood in the
way Of his getting all the honors that
came later to Robert Fulton. New
York American.

Pendleton Boys Take to Roundup
Roping Stunts.

Roundup and the lasso with it's run

who has good red blood in his veins
has abandoned the old sports for the

these juvenile wild west performers
can be seen in vacant lots, in back
yards and on streets, pTacticing with
their ropes.
Considerable attention was drawn

None of It Goes Astray Because tho

Certain strangers within our gates
have been wondering at our dealing
with passengers luggage-how much
better the system Of other countries,
where you get receipt and when
the bag goes astray the official assures
you it is impossible because there is
the receipt. So you go to bed and get
up and dress in your bit of paper.
Our method Is insular and on the
face of 1t chaotic. We throw our lug
gage to the mercy Of some unknown
porter. At the end Of the journey we
find sort of lucky tub of portable
property piled on the platform, and
we plunge about and pick out what
we want. You know the scene-a
hundred people who have only to say
"That's mine to strange porter in
order to get it.
o. Thus badly stated the system looks
like chaos and the invitation to
general scramble for other mems
goods. In practice 1t works out well,
for every one, from porter to passen-
ger, is on his honor, and-this is the
point-luggage In England is safer
than in any other civilized country

the surprising result in a number of
goslings. One day he was missing. He
was sought everywhere, but no one
could find him until at length his
father discovered him in the barn

QUESTION OF REMOVAL NOT EN-
TERTAINED AT Meeting
Efforts Will be Extended in
Raising Balance of Million

The proposal to remove Whitman
college from Walla Walla to "some
othsr more favorable location" was
not considered at the meeting of the
committee from the overseers, ap-
poiuted at the June meeting in that
city. which met in Tacoma this week
ostensibly for the purpose of investi-
eating the finances of the institution
and devising ways and means for its
maintenance and advancement, ao-
oording to dispatch received from
the Sound city.
Bishop F. W. Keator. chairman,
presided at the meeting. which was
attended by Thomas Burke of Seattle,
W. b. Aver Of Portland. Rev. James
of North Yakima, President S. B. l..
Penrose and Dean A. W. Hendrick.
After thoroughly considering the
financial condition of the college. the
committee adopted the following res
olution: Resolved, that the efforts

exerted 20 the completion on or be-
fore January 1, 1919, of the 81 900. 900
endowment fund OF which $600,000
has already been pledged.
In addition to this resolution the
committee prepared lengthy report
which will be submitted to the board
Of overseers at their meeting in Walla
Walla next November.
Just what means the committee REQ
ommends for raising the endowment
will be given in their report. although
the officers of the college will begin
an active campaign at once. Sub.

only method by which this amount
can be raised.

Spokane dispatches say that indi-
oative of the prospects for increased
business activity throughout the

ter is the report by the statistical de-
partment of the Spokane chamber
of commerce. which places the farm
value of agriculture, including live

The wheat yield of the four states
is estimated at rs. 100000 bushels. as
against IS, 10000 in 1910. while the
hay crop is placed at 4.15O,0O0 tons
as compared with 4.050,000 tons
year ago. Oats. farley. I've. potatoes
and hops show average increases rang.

The apple crop is not as large as last

in the yields of other fruits will. it is
estimated fully make up the differ
enoe.
The farm value of agriculture in the
Inland Empire is estimated at from
$50. 100000 to $175.000.000 to
