FORTNIGHTLY CLUB
HOLDS OPEN MEETING
Large Number of Guests enjoyed a
Very Interesting Program at
.1. P. Duthie Home
The annual open meeting of the
Historical club was held Tuesday
evening at the home of Mrs. .1. P,
Duthie. Something over a hundred
guests were present, all of whom
thoroughly enjoyed the excellent pro
gram rendered and the social hour
which followed.
Mrs. .1. R. Stephenson, president of
the club, presided and after welcom
ing the guests in a few well chosen
words Introduced Herbert Kimbrough
and Gottfried Ilerbst, who rendered
Mozart's Bth Sonata for violin and
piano. They were in splendid form
and interpreted the splendid compo
sition with a skill and sympathy
which held their auditors spell
bound.
O. Brousse Jacobson followed with
EX interesting lecture on "Pictures,"
in which he discussed the elements
which make a good picture, illustrat
ing his points with a large collection
of fine prints of the masterpieces of
the different schools of painting. He
avoided the use of technical terms
and explained the theories and meth
ods of painting in a way which all
could understand.
Two vocal solos by Mrs. Ins
Wright Hcrbst, which won an en
thusiastic encore, closed the pro
gram, which it would be hard to
equal in any of the large cities of the
Northwest. Light refreshments were
served and after an hour of social en
joyment the company separated, tak
ing with them pleasant memories of
a delightful evening.
A SEVERE TEST
Last Saturday the Main Street
garage gave a demonstration of the
hill climbing qualities of the Stude
taker 4 automobile, which stamped
it as a remarkable little car. They
loaded nine passengers into the au
tomobile and climbed the grade on
Blame street, between Grand and
State streets, which is one of the
steepest in this section. Not only did
the car negotiate the grade without
difficulty, but it was stopped in the
middle of the hill and held by the
brakes without losing an inch and
was then started up and run to the
top without a hitch. Considering the
heavy load and steep grade, the test
was a very severe one and showed
that the Studebaker 4 fully measures
up to the claims made for it by the
manufacturers.

HENRY WALLACE TO
DELIVER ADDRESS
Noted Preacher ami Journalist
Secured to Address This car's
Graduating < lass.
President Bryan last, week received
D letter from Henry Wallace, widely
Known as the editor of "Wallace's
Farmer," in acceptance of the invi
tation of the college to deliver the
commencement address at W. S. C,
June 11.
Mr. Wallace is one of the most
widely informed men in America on
the problems of modern life, espe
cially on rural problems. Born in
1836, he attended, from 1855 to
1st;::, Geneva College, Jefferson Col
lege, Alleghany Theological Semi
nary, and Monmouth Theological
Seminary. After leaving college, he
was for several years a pastor of the
United Presbyterian church, but con
tracted tuberculosis and went back
to the farm In search of health.
After a courageous struggle with the
disease, he regained his health to
such ah extent that today, at 78, he
is a strong man. Mr. Wallace soon
became deeply Interested in agricul
tural journalism, and after working
en several papers, founded, in 1895,
"Wallace's Farmer," now one of the
best farm papers in America. He
was a member, in 1908, of President
Roosevelt's Country Life Commis
sion, and president, in 1910 and
1911, of the National Conservation
Congress.
In addition to his newspaper
work, Mr. Wallace has written sev
eral books on agricultural subjects,
and one on the trust problem. His
home is in Dcs Moines. lowa.
It should be a matter of congratu
lation for the whole collego that a
man so justly famous as Mr. Wallace
should consent to deliver the com
mencement address to this year's
graduating class. Mr. Wallace and
President Bryan have been warm
personal friends since youth, and it
is doubtless largely due to this fact
that Mr. Wallace will deliver the
commencement address.

TO CRUISE TIMBER
LAND THIS SUMMER
Party Under Direction of Professor
Clothier to Cruise 1800 Acres
In Western Washington
Professor 0. L. Clothier, head of
the Forestry Department, has select
ed a timber cruising party for the
purpose of cruising some of the
State College timber land in What
com and Skagit Counties during the
coming summer, The party Is to be
composed of J. 11. Kilbuck, Sidney
Johnson, R. R. Boyd, Harry Malm-
Bten, and .1. A. Lybecker, with Pro
fessor Clothier at Its head, and will
begin its work at the close of the
school term and continue until the
first of September,
The purpose of the cruise Is io
make it possible for the Board of
Regents to know the value of the
timber lands contained in the land
grants to the State College. Alto
gether the college owns about 127,
--000 acres of timber lands lying in
the western and northwestern coun
ties. Of this amount about 36,000
acres have been cruised in Lewis,
Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, and Pacific
counties In cruises made during the
last, two summers. The cruise this
summer will commence in Whatcom
Ccunty west of Mt. Baker, where
there is about 8000 acres, and the
latter part of the cruise will cover
about 10,000 acres east of Mt. Ver
non, in Skagit County.
These timber lands are part of
the grants made to land grant col
leges by the federal government, and
should be a source of considerable
revenue to tho college. Of tho tim
ber cruised in Southwestern Wash
ington last summer one of the best
sections of 640 acres measured 67,
--400,000 board feet of lumber, which,
.1 conservative figures is worth
$104,665. The best tract of less than
s>. section was 480 acres, which meas
ured 41,931,000 board feet, valued
at $73,844.00, while the most valu
able single 4 0-acre tract measured
C.722,000 board feet and was valued
at $11,492.00. The timber cruised
during the summer of 1912 at a very
conservative figure was valued at
$1,250,000, and the 1800 acres in
cluded in the cruise this summer
will perhaps reach a valuation of
$1,750,000. The valuation of the
entire amount of land owned by the
college is about $10,000,000 at pres
ent prices and within the next 15
years the price should double.
Professor Clothier has had charge
of the cruise in the past as head of
the Forestry Department and will
probably continue the cruises annu
ally until all the tracts have been
measured.
