Record of Congress.
The following record of the things
done and not done by the congress of
the United States in the present ses
sion is of interest in view of the im
mediate adjournment:
Prohibited child labor in the District
of Columbia.
Increased widows' existing pensions
from $8 to $12 a month.
Granted pensions of $12 a month to
practically all widows of sailors and
soldiers.
Authorized expenditures of $30,000,
--000 for public buildings.
Ordered a commission to report on
revision of the banking and currency
laws of the country.
Reclassified the consular service.
Passed employers' liability laws to
take the place of the ones declared
unconstitutional.
Permitted free operation of foreign
vessels in trade with the Philippines.
Established a forest range law.
Authorized a tariff revision by a
commission.
Authorized the construction of two
battleships with promise of more next
session.
Raised the pay of all officers and
men of the army and navy, marine
corps and revenue cutter service.
Passed a militia law making every
able-bodied man between 18 and 45
years of age liable to service.
Adopted a resolution for arbitration
treaties with nearly every country in
the world.
Continued the work of the water
ways commission.
Increased the appropriation for for
tification of Philippines and Hawaii.
Appropriated $1,500,000 for partici
pation by the United States in the
Japanese exposition at Tokio.
What congress has failed to do:
Passed no emergency legislation.
Refused to place wood pulp on the
free list.
Declined to accept President Roose
velt's resolution for four battleships.
Failed to adopt a postal banking
law.
Held up until next December the
resolution to reinstate discharged col
ored troops.
No anti-injunction bill.
No national child labor law, but a
date is set for its consideration next
December.
Granted no increased powers to pro
hibition states over interstate ship
ments of liquors.
Enacted no law requiring publicity
of campaign expenses.
Made no provision for the "spank
ing" of Caatro. the Venezulean presi
dent.
Failed to put wireless telegraphy
under government control.
Has not given the interstate com
merce commission authority to pass
u Pon proposed increases in railroad
rates before they go into effect.
Failed to grant the coal-carrying
railroads more time in which to dispose
°' their mines.
We can't quite agree with the
Proposition of building a peat house
right in the center of the big city
Park, and a different site should be
"elected in future. The park should
be cleaned up, renovated, and made
attractive for visitors. And, by the
Wfty. that "park day" has not yet
been proclaimed. If every citizen will
K>ve one day of his time to beautify
"* the park, it will be made a place
of beauty.
If the destruction of the liquor busi
ness U what political prohibitionists
are striving for through their party
organization, it would appear the part
of wisdom for them to assist toward
that end by supporting the one of the
old parties whose platform suits it
best. The republicans are hound to
be in the majority in both branches of
the next state legislature, and the
thing that should interest temperance
people now is the drafting of an ade
quate local option bill, and the nomi
nation and election of candidates who
will support that bill. Local option
will wipe "booze" out of three-fourths
of the state of Washington within one
year of its adoption.
Over at Palouse the city council has
just passed an ordinance prohibiting
saloons from keeping open on Sunday.
If we remember rightly, there is a
state law on this subject, and a county
attorney whose duty it is to prosecute
violations of all state laws. Is it
possible the prosecutor is not doing
his duty?
Pullman is today the largest city in
Whitman county, the population being
in the neighborhood of 3500. The fed
eral census, to be taken two years
hence, will undoubtedly show 5000 Pull
manites.
Not in Pullman's twenty years of
life has there been so much talk of
erecting new buildings and improving
old ones as at present. The spirit cf
improvement is in the air.
Smaller school houses and more'of
them is the idea that is now meeting
with universal favor in all parts of
the country.
Congressman Wesley L. Jones will
deliver the commencement oration at
the college on Thursday. June 18th.
Announcement of Can
dacy.

the bar, I have decided to stand in the
September Primaries for the office of Su
perior judge of Whitman county, which

regarded as a worthy and laudable am

and believing that I am qualified to dis
charge the duties of the office in a man
ner to meet the approval of all who de
sire for themselves and for others no
more nor less than equal and exact jus

Adopted a resolution of arbitration
treaties with nearly every country In
; the world. Concluded the work of
the waterways commission. Appro
priated $1,500,000 for participation
by the United States in the Japanese
exposition at Tokio.
At its final session last week the
conference committee on the sundry
civil bill sliced $50,000 off the ap
propriation for the Seattle Exposi
tion, giving it $600,000. Of thla
amount $250,000 is for building,
$200,000 for Government mail ex
hibit, $100,000 for an Alaskan ex
hibit and $25,000 each for Philip
pine and Hawaiian exhibits.
The conference committee knocked
out Senator Fulton's amendment ap
propriating $250,000 for a revenue
cutter for the Oregon coast, on the
ground that the department has nev
er recommended the appropriation.
The conferees agreed on an amend
ment appropriating $25,000 to re
survey the Washington-Idaho boun
dary. They also agreed to the Sen
ate amendment appropriating $1,
--600,000 to purchase two ships for
the Panama Canal Commission.
This means the purchase of the
steamers Shawtnut and Tremont, of
the Boston Towboat Line, formerly
running from Puget Sound to the
Orient.
The omnibus public-building bill
was finally agreed upon. It carries
the following appropriations:
Oregon-—Albany building, $85,
--000; Pendleton building and site,
$70,000; La Grande building and
site, $65,000; Eugene extension,
$20,000.

The Willamette Iron & Steel
Works, of Portland, were the low
bidders on the two ste*l tugs
for the use ot the Artillery Corps on
the Pacific Coast. Their bid was
$57,000 for one or $115,000 for
both. Tho Puget Sound Shipbuilding
Company offered to build both for
$126,500 and the Union Iron WorkH,
of San Francisco, bid $146,000 for
the two.
Bids for similar vessels for the
Atlantic Coast were also opened, but
are complicated and will not b« tab
ulated for a few days. The award
is expected next week. If the award
goes to the Pacific Coast builders
the Portland firm is likely to get the
contract for both ships.
Although the figures on the total
appropriations for the present ses
sion of Congress are Incomplete,
from careful estimates the indica
tions are that they will exceed $1.
--000,000,000. This is |100,00»,000
in excess of any previous session.
A bill vu passed by the lloui*.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK
AT THE COLLEGE
Arrangements for the program of
Commencement week at the State Coir
lege have been completed with the
last fortnight. Dr. Henry I. Raima,
pastor of the First Methodist (Church.
of Spokane, will deWver the baccalau
reate address on Juno 14th, and on the
18th, Hon. Wesley L. Jones will give
the CoTnmencement oration.
In charge of Miss Florence McDer
mott, retiring head of the department
of Domestic Economy, elaborate ar
rangomonty have been made for the
dedication of the new Domestic Science
building, which will occur as a part of
commencement week exercises. This
will occur on Wednesday afternoon.
June 17th. Governor A. E. Mead is
announced as one of the speakers of
the occasion. At the ceremony of
dedication, the federation of women's
clubs of Washington will be represent
ed by Mrs. W. H. Allen, president of
that: organization. The board of re
gents of the State College, and the
state board of control, will also be
present.
The class of 1905 is causing a splen
did stone arch to be erected over the
main roadway leading into the campus.
Following the dedication of the Do
mestic Science building, the arch will
be dedicated. At the ceremony, Mr.
Wm. M Duncan, president <>f the class
of 1905, and now county auditor of
Whitman county, will officiate,
Competitive drill by the cadet regi
ments will be one of the interesting
events of the week. The cadets at W.
S.C. now number nearly five hundred,
there being seven companies, which
are in a military organization of two
battalions forming one regiment.
Competitive drill is for the purpose,
mainly, of giving the cadets a chance
to exhibit the proficiency in the science
of military tactics they have acquired
during the year, thus winning promo
tion, or an "encore," which in W.S.
C. military parlance, means the privi
lege of continuing to drill as "high
private in the rear rank."
