I.ocntion OF the ColIcge

At the republican convention held
at Walla Walla in September. 1889,
to nominate the officers provided for
in the new constitution, there were
several candidates for governor,
each of whom had his friends and
supporters.
Whitman county had one of the
largest delegations in the conven-
ton, and it soon became evident that
the vote of this delegation would be
an important factor in nominating a
governor, and TIE friends of each
candidate we're anxious to get the
support of this delegation. The
friends of governor Elisha p. Ferry
suggested that there was an agricul-
tural college to be located in the
state, and that Whitman would be
the logical county for such an insti-
tuition, and that il Mr.. Ferry were
elected governor he would be favor
ably inclined towards the location of
the institution in this county.
This appeared promising to the
delegation, and they decided to cast
their votes for Ferry. He was nomi-
mated and of course elected, for in
those days nomination by republi-
can convention was equivalent to an
election.
Mr.. Laughton of Oixanogan county
was elected lieutenant governor, A.
T. Farris of Pullman was elected
one of the senator's from this county.
The first legislature under the
state constitution met on the first
Monday in November, 1889, and the
Pullman boosters conceived the idea

OF CITY AND COLLEGE
JUDGE THOMAS NELL RECALLS SOME IMPORTANT
EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF PULLMAN

/ which was declared to be to train
teachers of physical science, and
thereby to further the application of
the principles of physical science to
industrial pursuits"
The legislature having adjourned
without locating the college, the
commission, which had been APP
pointed by the governor with the
consent of the senate, consisting of
Thomas Smith of ColfaX, f. G.
Ferguson of Snohomish and II. j.
Sniyely of North Yakima, started to
investigate the proposed sites and
arrived at Pullman late in June,
1890.
In the spring of 1890, NJ. c. True
had struck artesian water while
drilling for we'll in connection with
the Palace hotel on lots on the cor
ner of Pine and Main streets, and a
short time before the commission
arrived at Pullman, another well
had been drilled, on the opposite
side of the street. which was flow
ing at the time the commission
came.
Notice had been sent out to all
the farmers III the vicinity Of Pull
man. requesting them to come to
town with farm wagons on the day
that the commission was scheduled
to arrive, so that the commission
might have an idea of the import
ance of Pullman as a trading CEN
ter. There were more teams in
town on that day than there ever
were before or have been since 1t

of getting some free advertising for
the town by offering TO the state a
site for the college and with this end
in view a telegram was sent to SEN
ator Farris to tho effect that Pull
man was in the center of the garden
spot OF the state of Washington and
that no better place could be select
ed for the agricultural college, and
that the citizens of Pullman stood
ready to donate to the state 100
acres of land for college site This
telegram had the desired effect
Newspapers of the state commended
Pullman for its enterprise and much
free advertising for the town was Sc
cured. No one at that time believed
that it would be possible for Pull
man to get the college, but the sug-
gestion developed into desire,
which soon created a belief in the
minds OF the Pullman people that
the best interests of the state would
be served by the location of the col
tege here.
The act to create commission of
technical instruction to establish a
State Agricultural College and
School of Science was passed. and
approved nv the governor March %,
1890. This act provided for the an
nointment OF commission OF three

were the only place in the state of
Washington which had artesian
water, that the Pullman boosters
based their claim that this city was
the natural and logical place
for the location of the college.
The town then had about $50
people, but what it lacked in
numbers was made up by spirit of
optimism on the part OF every citi-
zen and until the panic of 1898 Pull
man was known as the best town of
its size on the Pacific coast.
The commissioners were properly
entertained and the merits of Pull
man and the surrounding country
earnestly and thoroughly explained
to them, and they departed, leaving
the assurance that they had been
better entertained here than they
had elsewhere, which added to the
confidence of the citizens of Pull
man that they had at least fight
ing chance OF course it was fully
realized by the Pullman boosters
that the superior merits of Pullman
as future college town would be
much enhanced if some political in
tluence could be brought to bear on
the commission. Casting about to
find from what source this necessary
political influence might be secured,
II. J. Webb recalled the fact that
several years before, when he was
still in Missouri, he had loaned a
young man $500 TO bring him out
TO the state of Washington. and that
this young man had become a polit-
ical power in the state, and had stat
ed on several occasions that If he
could be of service to his bene-
factor at any time he would be glad
to return in part the favor shown
him. 4 telegram was sent to George
Stevenson, who was the young mar
the doctor had befriended, asking
him to come TO Pullman. Mr.. Ste
venson promptly responded and th'
