had set his dead face in terribly
fiendish expression. He had evidently
been in his bed when the alarm had
broken out for he wore a foppish

The first cruise of the Sacajawea
was ended on Friday of last week,
when the crew had used up it's allot-
ted time, and instead of reaching Port
land, had put in all of its time in get
ting through the shoals and rapids of
the Snake. The difficulty was in the
unprecedented low stage of water in
the Snake, which made navigation
below the rapids almost an impossi-
bility, removing the stream from the
category of navigable water course
to bed of boulders. The Sacajawea
proved a most staunch and seaworthy
craft, however, and suffered no mater
ial damage from the battle with the
boulders beyond an occasional bending
of the propeller blades, which was
rapidly repaired, and sprung shaft,
which may require a few minutes
visit to a machine shop. The boat is
now tied up at Page, at the mouth of
the Snake, and Mr.. Mathews may later
continue on down the Columbia in it,
or have it shipped to Occur d'Alene
lake, where it will be used each sum-
mer by the Pullmanites. The mem

COLLEGE TO have
NEW CONSERVATORY
Building to be Erected at the State
College for Use of the Depart
ment of Music.

Friends of the college will be glad
to learn that conservatory will soon
be erected for the use of the school of
music. The building will stand on
the north part of the campus and will
contain six teaching rooms, sixteen
practice rooms and a commodious re-
cital hall.
Students may either secure the use
of the pianos belonging to the college
or bring their own pianos and rent
practice rooms.
This conservatory of music will
fill long felt want at the college
as the musical department has made
wonderful growth during the past few
years and has been greatly crowded
for room. Last year over one hun
dred students were enrolled in that de-
partment, not including members of
the band, orchestra and glee clubs.
This certainly speaks we'll for the
untiring efforts and efficient work of
Professors Strong and Kimbrough,
who have been responsible in large
degree for the rapid growth of this
popular department during the past
few years. Two new assistants have
recently been added.

little bungalow on the fair grounds.
1t will be ready for occupancy before
the fair opens, October 8. 1t will be
a comfortable rest room for women
and place where they can meet and
where they will serve refreshments.
The women deserve a great deal of
credit for their enterprise. Other
organizations will follow the example.

old timers in Pullman remember
a heavy band ring of gold bearing the
K. of P. emblems, that VIM. Buck
ley used to wear, but which he lost
in April, 1891, between Pullman and
Moscow. At the time of the loss Mr..
Buckley advertised in the Herald,
offering a reward of $500 for the re-
turn of the ring, but for fourteen
years no word ever came of the orna-
ment. Recently while working on the
road east of town, Ira Bader un-
earthed an object that when cleansed
of its earthly covering showed the
glittering opal eyes of the X. of P.
emblem, and which has now been iden-
titled as the long lost ring. The
reward for the recovery of the ring
has been paid, and the jewel again
adorns Mr.. Buckley's finger.

GOOD OUTLOOK
FOR ATHLETICS
Coach Sweeley Confident of Win
ming Teams to Represent State
College this Year.

The prospects for successful season
in all lines of athletics at the State
College this year are bright indeed.
Coach Sweeley will be retained to
coach the foot ball team and says that
the college will this year turn out one
of the fastest teams in the college
history.
All the players are expected back
early and practice will begin on the
day school opens. With the same
coach as last year the squad will be
able to begin where they left off last
year, and no time will be lost in
learning new signals and plays. The
athletic field is being greatly improved
and all will be in readiness by the first
of September.
The personnel of the squad will be
about the same as last year, the only
men who will not return being Gill
and Reborn and perhaps Lobaugh and
Cardwell. This leaves the line the
same as last year and three positions
to fill in the back field. A number
of new men however, have signified
their intention of entering college
who will be valuable acquisitions to
the squad and Coach Sweeley will have
no difficulty in finding good material
for vacant positions.
Manager Kreager has announced the
following schedule of games:
Sptember 20 Lewiston high school,
at Pullman.
October 6-Spokane high school, al
Pullman.
October Willamette University
at Pullman.
October 27- University of Idaho, at
Moscow.
November g University of Montana,
at Pullman.
November 1O-Oregon Agricultural
College, at Corvallis.
Novmeber II University of Oregon,
at Eugene.
November 23-Whitman Colllge, at
Walla Walla.
All of the above games may be re-
garded as certain, with the exception
of those with the Oregon institutions.
Negotiations are still pending with
O. A. C. and U. of O. 1t is possible
that the game with U. of w. will be
played in Spokane. 1t is very prob
able that excursions will be arranged
for all big games. If this can be
done far larger crowds will witness
the contests than ever before.
The coming season promises to be one
of great success. and may be looked
forward to with great expectations.
The officers of the Athletic associa-
tion of the State College during the
coming year are:

the county Jail this morning by the
recorder for ninety days, on a drunk
and disorderly charge She was ar
rested Saturday afternoon by Patrol
man Wood and was remanded yes

her dishevelled condition. 1t was
declared that she put her five chill
dren out of the house and took in a
man who, from all accounts, did not
amount to much.
This morning she said that she did
not care how long a term she was
sent up for and was satisfied with
three months. 1t is understood that,
because she has lived in Woodbridge
township for some time, the house
being just across the line, the Wood
bridge authorities will take charge Of
two OF the children, and three will be
kept at the local poorhouse.
