Sorry, but Glad.

By Editor

A letter from our friend Mr. W. R. Beatty, dated College Place, Washington, October 14, tells us that the night previous the engine-house and laundry of Walla Walla College were destroyed by fire. It broke out about midnight, and made rapid headway. It seemed at one time that the boys' dormitory would surely go, but the wind providentially changed, and the efforts of the boys subdued the fire. We sympathize with our friends in their loss, but we are glad that no more destruction of property resulted, and above all we are glad that no person was even injured. Mr. Beatty says that he never saw an unorganized company work so systematically as did the college boys in fighting the fire. In fact all did splendidly. He was able to render good service. The next week the school was running regularly.
