Whitman County has $4,000 People

Whitman county has enjoyed a steanv
and rapid growth curing the past five
years and there is strong probability
that this county will be advanced to a
higher class wheu the census now being
taken is completed. In 1900 the county
bad population of %, $50, as shown by
the federal census taken that year. The
county commissioners ordered a census
taken by the county assessor and his
his deputies this year. The work is not
nearly completed. but if the entire coun-
ty has kept pace with several of the
towns, it is thought the population OF the
county will reach $4,000, which will ad-
vance the classification of the county
and raise the salaries of all county
officers
The census of only few towns has
been completed, but these show marked
growth in population in the five years
Since the federal census was taken. The
census of Colfax has not been completed
but it is so nearly done that close es-
innate OF the population can he made.
In round numbers the town has 2900
population, as compared with 212t in
1900. This is gain of 779, or more than
40 per cent in years.
Tekoa shows a splendid growth. The
census of Tekoa has been completed and
shows that the town has population of
1910, as compared with III in 1900. This
is an increase Of 293, or more than 75
per cent in five years.
st. John has population of 575. This
town was not incorporated in 1900 but
was little village of probably $50 in
| habitants The increase there has been
almost 400 per cent. St. John is located
! in the midst of what was considered
grazing section until few years ago.
Recently it has been known that the
country surrounding the town is one of
the best wheat growing sections in the
state, and the town has made no more
rapid improvement than the surround
ing country.
A complete census of Cation has been
returned by w. r. Simpson, the field
deputy assessor. This shows a popula.
ton of 1926, as against 25l in 1900. This
is an increase of "a, or almost 80 per
cent in five years.
Garfield has 9l7 inhabitants, as com
pared with 697 in 1900. This is an in
crease Of 220, or nearly 30 per cent.
The census of Pullman has not yet
been completed, but the figures will show
more rapid growth than in any other
portion of the county.

IT WAS 4 FAST
BASE BALL GAME
u. of |. Taken into Camp to
the Tune of 3 to 2
by the w. S. c.

The first scrap of the season be-
tween those old time rivals, the L.
of |. and w. S. C. base ball teams,
was one that made the hair of the
rooter raise with every play, for it
was a fierce contest from start TO
finish, and great JOY filled the
Pullman camp when the close of
the 9th inning showed a score of 8
to 2 in the farmers favor.
The game was played in Moscow
Wednesday afternoon, and was wit
messed by large attendance from
Pullman and Moscow. Both teams
are event ~ matched. Brilliant
playing gave the rooters an oppor-
tunity to keep up the excitement
with college yells. The greatest
sensation Of the game was the last
score for the university by Holohan
in the ninth inning. Holohan in
leaving first base never stopped
running until he safely crossed the
home plate, although he was re-
peatedly chased back and forth, be.
tween second and third and be.
tween third and home. Washing.
ton college made one earned run
and the other two scores were made
on errors.
Waller pitched for Washington
and was hit on the head by a bal
thrown by Holohan to first bas,
and was knocke down, but soor
revived and stayed in the game
Middleton, the pitcher for the uni
versity, was easily the star player
and in three different innings
struck out two batters in each
while two college players were on
bases each time. Washington sum,
mary: Errors 4, hits 7, runs 2.
University summary: Errors 5,
hits 7, runs 2. Barteries-College,
Waller and Moffat; university,

' No Whiskey for Habituals.

An important step has been taken
by Prosecuting Attorney Kipp in
regard to persons convicted for
habitual drunkenness. The law
prohibiting the sale of liquor to
these unfortunates has been violated
with impunity and the prosecuting
attorney proposes to stop the prac-
tice and punish violaters of the
law. A list of habitual drunkards
has been prepared and sent to
every saloonkeeper in the county.
Accompanying the list, which is
here given, Prosecuting Attorney
Kipp sends letter in which he
impresses upon the saloon man the
necessity of complying with the
law.
The list of habitual drunkards
follows:
w. H. Kyle, Charles Martin,
Thomas Knox, Isaac Johnson,
Nicholas Whelan, C. E. Basson
Joe Behan, Y. c. Davenport, Dan,
iel Dunn, William Greenwood, c.
w. Herman, c. n. Hubbard
Cyrus Lake, Frand E. Webb, Her
man Mihlke, John Striker and T.
J. Farris.
The letter to saloonmen reads:
Il am writing this letter to call
your attention to an imrortant law
In this state that has been over
looked far too much in the past.
1t is the section that requires that
all retail liquor dealers in the

spicious place in his place of bust

in the Farmers Bank is entitled to

Representative Smith saw that the
resolution bowled out William Baxter,
Democrat, and he addressed the chair,
saying:
Mr. Speaker, now, OF course, 1 know
that the majority rules, but is il right
to force this resolution against all pre-
cedent? l understand that there has
always been a minority party represent
tation on this board, and that the pre-
lcedent was established when the Demo-
Gratis had control Of the Legislature"
The Speaker-"The chair is not able
to answer the gentleman, not knowing
the politics of the three proposed di-
rectors, except one" o..
Mr.. Jester-"Well Mr.. Speaker, as
matter of fact. those three are really
all Republicans, just as the board used
to be composed of all Republicans, just
as the board used to be composed OF
all Democrats"
Later Representative Jester agreed TO
withdraw the resolution until IL o'clock
this mroning.
Today Mr.. Jester admitted that he
had been misinformed on the matter
and he withdrew the name of Mr.
Johnston and substituted that of Mr.
Baxter, Democrat. The resolution was
then adopted by the House.
