Whitman-Spokane Football.

The Spokane High School was easy
for Whitman in the first important
game of the season, Whitman running
up a score of 80 to 0 against the High
School. The week before Spokane had
held the University of Idaho down to
90, SO such large score was rather
unlock ed'for, and Whitman is jubilant
over the outlook for the year. Judg-
ing from the Spokane game, the
Whitman lineup can now for the
first time be pretty accurately picked.
The center and two guards will prob
ably be chosen from these men: Glenn
ems. Cook, Harvey, Graham and Per
niger. These positions are the most
hotly contested ones on the team; the
rest are practically chosen. Tackles
will be Philbrook and Dimick, ends
Lyman and Spangle, halves Martin
and Bolleske, fullback Rigsby, and
quarter Burbaker or Schmidt. The
team will average about 170 pounds.
The next big game is with the Multno-
nah Athletic Club of Portland, on
October 25th.

One of the strongest proofs that
advertising pays is furnished at
Butte, Montana. The daily papers
of the city suspended publication
owing to the strike of the workers
who make the stereotype plates for
the big newspaper presses and the
merchants of the city we're left with
out the means of giving the details
of their business to the public.
Every department store in the city
lost patronage, some as high at sixty
per cent of their total average
sales. Some of the stores tried to
supplement their newspaper adver-
Using by hand bills, but these had
but little value in drawing trade to
their stores. The men who think
that advertising does not pay are in
vited to chew on this fact for awhile. /
1t furnishes a striking evidence of
the value of newspaper advertising
that cannot be refuted.

/. Subscribers who do not Civ,
express notice TO the contrary are
considered as wishing to reHes
their subscriptions.
2. II subscribers order the dis.
continuance of their periodicals,
the publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
5. II subscribers neglect or re-
fuse TO take their periodicals from
the postofice TO which they are
directed they are responsible until
after they have settled their bills
and ordered their paper discontinued
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher and the papers are sent to the
former address, subscribers are
held responsible.
S. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
Office or removing and leaving them
for. is prima facia evidence
Of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time il they do not wish
