to put on any roundup" features at
the fair this fall. members of the PEN
dlet0n Commercial club are seriously
considering making an effort to Sc
cure the removal of Whitman college
from Walla Walla to the Oregon town,
according TO reports from Pendleton.
"A well known business men of this
city, who returned from Pendleton
last night said that movement had
been started there, quietly, but ap-
parently in all seriousness, to secure
the permanent location of the college
at that place This citizen, who de-
clined to allow the use of his name.
stated that at an informal meeting
yesterday an offer of a donation of
26 acres for a college site had been
made. and that subscriptions total
ing $150,000 had been secured.

ment here, among business men who
We're told of the movement. That
Whitman college will never be moved
from Walla Walla is absolutely GER

gravely considering such PROPOSE

are really -peeved."
