PULLMAN, Wn„ Dec. 8.—F. A.
Colder, professor of history at Wash
ington State college here, has gone
to Washington, D. C. to work with
the government for the duration of
the war in connection with Russian
affairs.
Dr. Golder has made several trips
to Russia irt recent years, the latest
last spring, and was there when the
Kerensky revolution broke out. He
became personally acquainted with
the premier and other members of
the government, and acted as inter
preter for the Root mission while it
was in Russia.
He was in Russia in 1914 for the
Carnegie institute, and while there
on that trip gathered material lor a
recently published book, “A Guide to
American History in the Russian Ar
chives.”
Manager C. P. Morgan, of the Al
aska Coast Fish company at Doug
las, tore his hair in a frenzy of rage
because the Mariposa refused to stop
in at his dock and take on 55 boxes
of fish he wished to ship to Seattle.
He is now patting himself on the back
because he got the shipment away
on the steamer Jefferson several
hours later, and they got to Seattle
safely, while the Mariposa is repos
ing quietly in several hundred feet
of water in Sumner strait.
