PERRY LAWRENCE TAKES A
SALT BATH

Perry Lawrence, who IS in Olympia
during the session of the legislature,
is an ardent fisherman of salmon, and
came near, one day last week. to sac
rifcing his life on the altar of sport.
With a companion, Mr.. Lawrence
started out to fish for salmon in the
sound, and after being out a while
attempted to change places in the skiff
when the boat capsized suddenly,
throwing both men into the icy waters
of Puget Sound. Lawrence was great
" handicapped by having on a heavy
overcoat, with reel and other weighty
salmon tackle in the pockets, but for
tunately caught hold of the overturned
boa when he first came to the surface
for a breath of fresh air. His com
panion had also succeeded in getting
hold of the boat, to which they clung
till another fishing party rowed up and
towed the Pullmanite and his friend,
who were busy meantime spouting up
the quantities of salt water they had
swallowed, to the shore.
Aside from the loss Of quantity of
fishing tackle and some of the fishing
spirit no serious results followed the
midwinter bath in Puget Sound.

WINTER Snowfall
WaS 64.07 INCHES
Precipitation Since August lst Has
Been 22.9t Inches, a Record
for the Palouse.

has been as follows: August, Pa
inches, September. .48 inches, Octo-
ber, l.0l inches, November. 6.2 inches
snow and Go inches rain, December.
14.87 inches snow and 4. % inches rain,

rain, February inches snow and l.. OF
inches rain. Total snowfall 6i07,
inches, total rainfall. 1850 inches
making a total precipitation expressed
in terms of rainfall of 22.91 inches.
AS our average rainfall is about 22 so
inches it will be seen that we have al
ready received our normal precipita-
tion with five months still to hear
from. The normal rainfall for the
remaining months of the year as COM
puted from the records for the years
1898 to 1905 inclusive is as follows :
March, 2.08 inches, April, 1.57 inches,
May. 2.02 inches, June, LOS inches,
July 0.9 inches or total normal rain
fall for those months of 7.41 inches.
Hence, if we should receive a normal
amount of precipitation from now TN
til August /, the total precipitation
for the year, August |, 1906, to Aug
ust, /. 1907, would be 80. So inches.
This aumont was exceeded during the

FOURTH HNBUaL
UIILITaRY BaLL
Most Brilliant Social Affair of the
Season in College Armory
Last Evening.

The fourth annual military ball,
under the auspices of the First Regi-
ment w. S. C. Corps of Cadets, was
given in the college armory last night.
Overe four hundred persons attended,
including practically everyone of
prominence in Pullman, and many
guests from Spokane, Moscow, Colfax
and the surrounding cities.
The armory was beautifully deco
rated with evergreens, college colors,
national flags, and bunting. A large
shield, emblematic of the national col
ors, and containing "First Regiment
w, S. c." in gold letters across it,
graced the wall behind the orchestra.
Two tattered remnants of what were
once beautiful flags hung suspended
over the ball room floor. They had in
times past floated from the flag staff
over the armory. The large regimental
flag occupied a conspicuous place in
the center. The college orchestra of
forty pieces, under the leadership of
Professor Strong, furnished the music.
The overture. Light Cavalry" was
followed by the grand march, the
selection played being the war march
from MendeIssohn's ''Athalia. 3" Six
teen other numbers followed, conclud-
ing with taps, by the regimental
musicians. The mingling of the
cadets, in their neat grey uniforms,
together with the darker ones of The
Idaho officers, and the brilliant dress
uniforms of the regular army, pr esent-
ed very pretty appearance.
