===== News =====

  * By a narrow margin, the Washington Senate passed a bill approving Whitman County as the site of the state's agricultural college. The bill still needed House approval and the governor's signature.

  * The //Pullman Herald// reported that the city of Pullman had allocated a 160-acre tract of land and $12,000 in the hope of persuading the state of Washington to build the college there.
