HARMONY, FRIENDSHIP
COLFAN AND PULLMAN
tContinued from first page)

lar stars, but playing together like
machinery. Every man assisted every
other and each gave the best he had
to every play. looking not to his own
glory but TO the glory of his team.
You know the record of that team.
A friendly rivalry, each commun-
ity striving to Guido the other in ac-
complishing benefits for the entire
county, and close cooperation in all
big things, was proposed by Charles
l.. Chamberlain, vice president OF
the Colfax Commercial Club, as the
proper order of things under the new
era of friendship. The speaker in
vited the people of the county to join
with Colfax in her Fourth Of July
celebration.
President Il. O. Holland OF the
State College stated that long before
he came to Pullman he had heard
the state College rated among the
best of its kind in the United States,
and mentioned the high tribute paid
the college, its work and its faculty
by the experts who spent consider
able time recently in investigating
the institution to the fullest extent.
He solicited the assistance OF the en-
tire county in getting only what is
due the college at the hands of the
next legislature and acknowledged
the past assistance which has been
given by the people Of ColfaX and
other Whitman county towns.
William Lippitt, one OF the pioneer
IN merchants OF ColfaX, boosted the pic
mic plan of getting the people of the
two towns together and suggested
that they be held at frequent inter
walls.
DR.. +. A. Bryan stated that the
State College should not be consid
cred the property of Pullman alone,
OF OF Whitman county alone, but of
the citizens OF the entire state, and
that all should take an interest in
its work and its development. Some
of the colleges best regents, some OF
its best faculty members and some
OF its best students have come from
ColfaX, said DR.. Bryan.
Much credit was given to the
county fraternal organizations for
fostering a better spirit among the
different communities by DR.. J.
Floyd Tiff of Colfax, who proposed
get-together meetings EN- bracing the
entire county, instead of just Colfax
and Pullman.
j. A. Perkins, the father" of Col
fax, disclaimed the existence of any
ill-feeling on the part OF ColfaX as
whole toward Pullman at any time,
blaming the conditions to the words
and actions of a few 'cranks," who
should not have been taken seriously.
You have your magnificent col
lege, your flowing artesian wells and
your Bryan, that ought to be
enough, said U. l.. Ettinger, of Col
fax, a former regent of the college.
I'VE have our court house, our Liy-
ingston and our flood, and are salts
fled. Now is the time to work for
the interests of ALL Mr.. Ettinger
mentioned the flood of 1910 as one
OF the best things that ever happened
to Colfax inasmuch as it caused them
to clean up the town and was re-
sponsible for the agitation which re-
suited in paved streets and other i'm
provements.
Senator X. c. McCroskey of Gar
field urged the value of Il county
comm ercial club, as proposed by the
Colfax Commercial Club, and
pledged his support to the good
cause.
The attempts of few people TO
open up hornets nests were blamed
by Senator Oliver Hall for the past
differences between the two towns.
The senator stated that he thought
for time during the last session of
the legislature that hornets nest
had been opened up here for sure on
the road question, but that he was
cognizant of the fact that it was only
few and not the entire people who
were making the fuss.
The visitors were taken on a sight
seeing tour over the college farm
and campus, and many Of them, es-
pecially the ladies', visited the home
economics exhibit in VauDoren hall,
as we'll as numerous OF the buildings.
Everything considered, the meeting
was big success, and the sentiments
expressed and the spirit manifested
augurs well for bigger and bet
ter ColfaX, Pullman. state College
and Whitman county.
