Names of Apples.

An interesting apple Judging contest
was inaugurated among the pupils Of the
public school this week, which resulted
IN making the students acquainted with
the names and qualities of apples grown
III the Palouse country. Specimens of
twenty-five varieties of apples had been
obtained, and these were kept on exhi-
biuon Ill down town store window, and
later i'll the public school building, and
the students put i'll a deal of good hard
study Ill becoming acquainted with the
fruits. Later the name cards were taken
away, the plates of fruit promiscuously
mixed up, and the children were given
an opportunity to name the apples with
out other aid than their own knowledge
of variety. The interest was increased
10y the offering of prize by VIM. Buck
ley & Go. of box of Palouse apples to
the winner of the contest in each of the
various grades.
The contest was conducted under the
direction of Prof Booth, ofthe college.
assisted by Prof. Elliott and Messrs. Holt
and Surry, and the entire afternoon of
"Wednesday was given up to the event.
The result was that the hundreds of
youngsters showed all degrees of knowl-
edge of the fruit, from the names of one
'or two ofthe common varieties, to a per-
feet score, the latter distinction being
won by Jennie Atherton, who named
properly each of the IS kinds.
Lois Mckenzie won the prize in the
9th grade, with ~ out of the IS properly
named, while Cecil Atherton, with %,
wont the fourth grade. and Raymond
Flock, with Is, in the second grade.
Great interest was manifested in the
contest by the pupils, and much practical
instruction was derived therefrom.

THE opposition TO the present city
council is trying to create prejudice
against the law and order ticket by point
ing to the unfinished condition of the
reservoir" 1t is true the reservoir is not
yet quite completed, requiring but few
days more work, but the opposition fails
to state that many other building opera
tons in the city have been delayed from
the same cause, the scarcity Of building
material. For a number of years the city
has needed more adequate water service,
but not until the law and order people
were in the majority on the council was
move made toward supplying the need
The new system, now practically COM
pleted, is the result.

IN his official call for the regular city
election, the city clerk failed to note the
Office Of a city attorney, the experience OF

for his failure to remember that the city

There has been little to remind one that
Pullman had such All officer in its official
family except the monthly allowance of
the attorneys salary.
