CADETS WILL ENCAMP AT
SPOKANE

The State College Corps of Cadets
which consists of six companies with
a total of 399 officers and men will
leave Pullman May 10 for its regular
annual encampment, which will This
year be held near Spokane. The trim
both ways will be made in a special
train and the cadets will pitch their
tents on the tract of land between
the city of Spokane and Fort George
Wright. 1t was at first planned to
hold the encampment at Walla Walla,
on the site of the abandoned fort at
that place, but the big expense to
each individual cadet was considered
prohibitive. The trip to Spokane
can be made for $500 less than TO
Walla Walla, which will result in a
saving to each member of the Cadet
Corps Of 50.

able damage to cherries and peach
plums near Pullman, although Will

through the brush to the approaches
at either end of the bridge so that it
may prove useful as we'll as orna-

advertise for bids. The Union Iron
Works and the Fairbanks Morse
company, both of Spokane, were the
lowest bidders, but in the discussion
concerning the bids it developed that
