The greater Part of this sum is spent in Seattle. The English department leads the list in salar with $21,400 Chemistry instructors cost $18,000; mathematics, $16,100; civil ene! Reering, $15,000, and the rest of the salary expense is divided about equally between the other departments.

The Metropolitan site, on which » the White and Henry bulidings stand, is valued at $2,000,000 and covers 9.99 acres, approximately five city blocks, The campus itself covers acres and is worth $1,060,000. Thus the university holds 100,000 acres of land, valued at $8,000,000 The legisiature last spring appropriated $1,001,201 to run the unt > Nersity until April, 1915.

His topic was, “The udent’s Outlook and the Medical Profession.” | “The trouble with the medical profession in this country,” said Dr. | Pick, “is that there is too mueb/ competition in the medical field There are too many physicians who are graduated from mediocre insti- | tations. The mediocre schools have |turned out doctors who are not thoroughly educated, and as a result the public is inclined to look jaskance at the sincerity of the av- jerage doctor, Too much compett- | tion commercializes a profeasion.” | Dr. Fick 21 years of school ing are needed before practice is | undertaken.

I could see in a moment that {I had given Annt Mary the one |thing that would make her life | bearable without Unele John—the thought that she wold be neces- sary to some one's happiness. “And now, Aunt Ma I contin- ued, “I want to ask you if you would mind if Dick and I divided that money you gave us with Jack. “Wh Margie,” exclaimed Aunt Mary, “I shall be glad to have you do this.

B, JOHNSTON The great industrial plants, the mines, d nals, power houses, bridges and docks in and about le are ¢ d into laboratort at different times ever for the purpose of practical demonstrations, observations and tent nefit the engineering students of the Uni- versity of Washington, The trips made by th ngineers vary in im 3 portance from that which necessitates the declaration of a holiday for { the whole college to a viait by s or four students to the Northern Pacific railway’s concrete bridges now under construction where the | railroad runs through the campu j | Among the plants yet to be visited this college year are those of t the Seattle Constr 1 & Dry Dock Co. and of the Rainier Brewing & Muilting Co. According to Professor Everett O, Eastwood, observa- tion tours of these among other typical plants are taken every year. Recently 300 students of engineering went out to the city’s power plant dam on the Ce They were served with dinner at camp No For the tony ir they were divided into squads of 20 men each. No notes were required, but eek later Dean Almon H. Puller gave a “quiz” on things that should have been observed, He says that the results were most gratifying VISIT POWER PLANT. Before that 45 junior and senior civil engineers visited the Nisquaal- ly power plant. All features from intake to tallrace were gone over. Two seniors in civil engineering under the direction of Professor C. W. Harris and two senior electrical engineers unger the direction of Professor ©. KE. Magnusson made a complete test of unit No. 2 in the power plant. A special reoxtat was built and accurate measurements of the efficieney of the unit taken, The tests were extended through the week of spring vacation The senior mechanical engineers, under the direction of Professor Eastwood, visited the plants of the Puget Sound Traction Light & Power Co., Post street station, Western avenue station and Georgetown station. | They also went through the plant of the Chlopeck Fish Co., which al- | Ways furnishes much of interest to mechanical engineers, according to Professor Eastwood, because of the company’s highly efficient re frigerating system TEST GENERATOR, For thesis purpor two senior electrical engineers this year ran @ test on the 500-kilowatt motor generator set of the Yesler municipal substation, and two others made a test of the Olympic Power Com- pany’s cable under Hood's canal, near Port Gamble. At the new and old power pla’ at Snoqualmie Falls, senior ele trical engineers mad series of tests with the oscillograph on the wave forms of each machine and with the bus for various loads. The mining engineers find abundance of suitable material for study in and about Seattle, The Pacific Coast Coal company’s bunkers, types of conveyors and power plants, the Pacific Steel company’s mills in West Seattle, the winding engines of the street railway, the north trunk | sewer, the slulcing operations, all afford opportunity for observation of practical methods that supplement the theoretical instruction in the class room. STUDY WINDING MACHINERY. The winding machinery used for the Madison and James street cables 1s typleal of that used by mining companies for hoisting, so the mining student has the advantage of noting the construction of the — machinery and seeing it in operation, and all without the expense or delay of a trip out of the city. When the north trunk sewer being driven the engineers encountered, quicksand, and the devices em- ployed to control the sand furnished a valuable lesson for the engineers, who later in life may meet this problem with any shaft they sink or tunnel they drive. , The miners also go out to the coal mines of Renton, Issaquah and Newcastle to study practical methods. Supplementary to the lectures by the regular professors, they hear each year lectures from men proml- | nent in the mining field. George B. Harrington, superintendent of the ¢ | fuel department of the Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Co, and H. L. Blend, chief assayer of the United States assay office in Seattle, have lectured to the students. The mechanical engineers’ interest ts in construction work. The government canal locks, the Northern Pacific and Great Northern. bridges, the Great Northern Howe truss swing bridge, the bridges over © Ravenna park ravines, the bridges over the White river near Kent, and the great Smith building of Seattle all have their practical object les- * sons for the student of mechanical engineering. i “In catalogue it is stated that the college of engineering each year vii and tests various plants and projects around Seattle,” said Dean Fuller today, “For seven years we have been successful from the standpoint of profitable and pleasurable interest in our endeavors to live up to this announcement, and I feel confident that that simple statement will remain in our catalogue. TIMBER FAULTY much to my surprise and delight. We drove over to Mary's little State Mine Inspector James Bag ley, Was responsible for the death of Peter Patraos and P. V.
