Ample water for supplying the new
Green Park addition for at least two
years to come has been developed in
the new we'll which was sunk on the
north line of the addition by the water
department. The we'll was sunk to
depth of 43 feet and a flow of 100000
gallons every "a hours was developed.
Most of the water was developed at
a depth of So feet and the flow is so
strong that the water rises to within
seven feet of the surface. The depart
ment will erect 10000 gallon wooden
standpipe at the we'll and as soon as
the motor and pumping apparatus ar
rive from the east the system will be
connected with the residences in that
section.
The crew which was employed on
the Green Park we'll has been set to
work sinking another we'll at the cor
ner of Lincoln and Division streets for
the purpose of developing an addi-
tional supply for the city park sys-
tenn. A depth of IA feet was reported
by Superintendent Knight today, but
only a fair quantity of water has been
struck SO far.

WHITMAN AND w, A. C.. BOYS
WILL COMPETE FOR FIELD
HoNoRs TOMORROW.
Now Figured That Whitman Will Cap
ture 56 Points Outside of Relay
Race-Officials Selected.

The relay race win probably decide
the track meet between Whitman col
lege and the University of Idaho, to
be held here tomorrow afternoon. If
Cox, the fast academy Splinter, who
made sucn a record for himself last
week, can make up some back work in
Latin so as to be eligible to enter the
costest, Whitman college has a better
chance of winning this meet than any
she was ever in. According to the
most conservative estimate, made by
those interested at the college, Whit
man will capture Sc points outside of
the relay and Idaho 81. This will leave
the relay race which comes last to de-
eide the contest.
In the 1O0-yard dash, Whitman ex-
poets to get first with Cox and either
Hill or Jim Lyman for third. If Jim
Lyman is in the form he was in at
Pullman three weeks ago, when he
won firstly, thezvr ruHLo nk-AB9
broke the college record, he will land
that event also. The other four points
are allowed to Idaho although more
than likely Dave Graham will be heard
from.

night was performed by Doctors Mack
and Cannon at the Smith & Mac

afternoon. The chest cavity was open
ed and the young mans heart was
thoroughly examined. 1t was found
that the right heart was badly dilated
and diseased and that any undue ex-
element or overstimulation would
have caused death. The autopsy was
held at the instance of the proprietors
Of the Idle Hour who feel very badly
over the sudden death of the young
man in their place Of business. The
body was shipped to Nelson, British

Fancher a Good One.

When it comes to the mile run, little
Fancher, who won his w at Pullman
will give the long legged runners from
Idaho, Edmundson and Matthews, the
run of their lives. When Captain Muir
ply of Idaho, runs up against Cox and
Leonard in the broad jump he will find
himself up against the real article.
while in the 22O, Whitman is confident
graceful pole vault first may go to
Murphy of Idaho who vaults II feet,
Whitman is sure Of sending Graham
and Holdman up for second and third.
The hurdle races will be close. Muir
ply of Idaho has a fierce rep for speed
in these races but John Lyman and
Leonard think they win between them,
pocket the lions share of the points
in the two events.
In the hammer throw Whitman has
to go up against Larson who has rep
utation all over the Northwest but the
MlSSlOildTIeS are plilii1HS liiCii latin ~
reliable old Dave" Graham for several
points. The quarter although one Of
the closest races of the day, is already
counted on as belonging to Whitman.
Jim Hill will undoubtedly make five
points for Whitman in this event. The
half mile is probably Idahos. In the
discus Whitman expects to get all
three places with butcher, Cox and
Graham. The high jump will prob
ably be a repetition of the broad jump.
Relay Deciding Event.
The relay will be the hardest fought
event of the day. Whitman will prob
ably put in Fancher, Graham, Cox and
Hill for this most important event of
she put against Pullman, Fawcett,
Hanna, Keyes and Edmundson or pos
sibly Matthews. Whitman was beaten
by Pullman this year and so was Idaho.
At Idaho the time was one second
slower than at Pullman. Whitman did
not have Cox at Pullman and figures
that with him her time will be 5 Sec
onds faster and that the relay banner
ought to stay at Whitman.

WHITE OPPOSED WAR
Record of Russia's Former Minister Of
Finance Is Defended.

Jeff, formerly an n assistant Of NJ. Witte,
president Of the committee of ministers,
undertakes the defense Of his former
chief against the charges that he was in
any manner responsible for the Man
churian adventure or the events which
brought on the war. On the contrary,
AZ. Ang1urieff proves by means Of hither-
to unpublished documents that M. Witte
opposed the Manchurian plans thruout
in the most energetic manner, intimat-
ing the fact that it was really his oppo-
sition to the scheme in the far east
which led to his downfall as finance
minister.
4 M. Auguerieff says that M. Witte was
not responsible for the Siberian rail-
road; that he was, opposed to the
overruled by the advice of Count Mura-
vieff, the minister for foreign affairs,
who submitted alleged proofs that Great
Britain intended to seize the port if
Russia did not do it; that he opposed
the retention of Manchuria; that, when
soverruled, he advised the immediate
ronstruction of the Circumbaikal rail
road for strategical purposes; that
later, when the situation became acute,
II. Witte urged at least the temporary
withdrawal Of the Russian forces from
sManchuria He then wrote to the en-
peror as follows:
I Instead Of making an enemy Of Japan
I'VE should win her friendship. I strongly
advise a friendly solution. We need tc
populate our eastern provinces and have
vital interests to defend in the eventual
war with the yellow race, in order that
the peasants of Russia may understand
what they fighting for.
