in the last three months in order to
avail themselves of the educational OPP
portunities offered by the Northwest
Holiness college which was recently
located in this city, and that this pop
ular institution Of learning is destined
to prove highly potent factor in the
rapid increase Of the city's population
is the consensus of opinion among it's
business men,
Since the establishment Of the COL
lege here some three months since.
there has been an increase in the pop
ulation of the city Of not less than 800
people and each week chronicles the
! arrival of more families to whom the
college is the impelling incentive in
their change Of location. Then of adj
ditional import to the city consequent
to the vast amount of money expended
by them with its citizens for board
and it's business men for clothing is
the fact that there are now matricu-
lated in the college 100 boarding stu
dents. meaning a monthly revenue to
the city of from $4,000 to $4,000. The
city through its local Chamber of
Commerce Endorsed the institution
prior to it's locating here. and as an
inducement for its location agreed to
donate $4,000 for its support.
GOOD ENDOWMENT FUND.
The local Nazarene church and the
Idaho Oregon conference district of
that church subscribed in interest
bearing notes the sum Of $4,000 for
the same purpose, and with similar
support from other sources. the college
will probably have at the expiration
of the year a maintenance or endow-
ment fund in excess OF 100000. The
college building is thoroughly modern,
of the bungalow type and admirably
adapted to class room work. 1t is 81
ia feet in size and has involved an
