TALKFEST OF
BUSINESS men
COMMERCIAL CLUB DISCUSSED
IMPORTANT MATTERS AT
MEETING LAST NIGHT.

There was nothing doing as far as
definite action was concerned at the
meeting of the Commercial club last
night. Everyone was in a good humor
Discussions galore were the order of
the evening, but there matters stopped
First in order came the city hall
bond committees. The report on this
matter Ws brief. One committee had
raised considerable money when it was
decided the warrants as well as bonds
might be illegal and the work was stop
ped. Friendly suit has been brought
and as the matter has been decided in
the superior court and APPEALED it should
be but a short time before the validity
of the famous city hall bonds is de-
termined once for ALL In the mean
time, the city and club are waiting
patiently.
New Club Rooms.
Next in order was the report of the
committee which had been appointed
to look into the matter of taking over
the rooms and furniture of the Walla
Walla club. Chairman Kirkman. of
this committee, reported, there had
been little doing of a definite nature
and that as there had been no COM
mittee appointed from the Walla Wal
la club it had been impossible for his
committee to have any conference with
it. A committee from the Walla Wal
la club is shortly to be appointed to
confer with the one from the Com
mercial club and until that time there
will be nothing definite decided.
In free for all discussion which fola
lowed the report of the committee, it
was the general sentiment that the
move should not be taken. Several rea-
sons were advanced for this. There is
no elevator in the Rees- Winans build
ing ard no prospect for one. The fur
niture of the club is old and would
have to be discarded when the new
quarters in the city hall are occupied.
The validity of the bonds has been es-
tablished by the superior court and
the supreme court will soon pass upon
the same. If the bonds are found to be
legal. they will be sold at once and
the hall will be ready for occupancy in
three months. The members of the
club seemed to be of the opinion. that
move for such a short time would
be useless The members of the Walla
Walla club, numbering about 40, would
join the Commercial club if this change
were made, but it is thought by most

LINEUP OF THE TWO TEAMS
WHICH WILL BATTLE FOR
VICTORY TOMORROW.

Coach Baird, with the first team, one
substitute and Manager Schmidt, left
this afternoon for Moscow where the
biggest football game of the season is
to be played tomorrow. The boys are
all in fairly good shape and while not
overconfident, believe they can show
the Moscow team up for what it is
really worth.
There is little means of comparing
the two teams. The only team which
both have played is the Spokane high
school and if this is any criterion, the
University of Aaho will be easy meat.
Whitman defeated the high school
team by the score of 20 to 0, while the
University was not only not able to
score but was outplayed all around.
No one hopes, however, that this is
anything like fair comparison of the
strength of the two teams. Coach Mid
d1eton had been sick before the SpO-
kane team played the Moscow aggre-
cation and had not developed his great
plays. Another thing. Whitman had
more practice than Idaho when she
met the Spokane team Despite this, it
looks as if the local boys should be able
to win from the speedy little Idaho
team.
Some Changes.
Several startling changes have
been made in the Whitman lineup in
the last two days, all for the good of
the team, it seems. Philbrook has
been shifted out to end and Perrihger
goes in at tackle. Lyman goes from
end to guard and Cooke will play CEN
ter. This is an improvement along
many lines. Cooke is a sure passer and
a heavy man. PhilbrOok, at end, is
speedy and heavy and should be able
to break through almost anything in
the way of interference the Idaho team
can put up. Peringer has played tackle
for years and understands the position
thoroughly. Lyman at guard on Of
Tense and quarterback on defense, will
show up in great shape and should do
excellent work.
The lineup tomorrow will probably

ODD WAYS OF POETS.

Personal Soven
There is sort of idea In the public
mind that the poet is what scientists
call fixed genius" that every poet
Is the exact counterpart of every other
poet There is probably no class of
men in the world if class II can be
called - whose members differ more
widely in personality.
Pope. for instance, was miser.
Dryden. Sedley. Rochester and Shelley
seemed TO have no Use for money and
.splashed il about in the most insane
fashion. Shakespeare was keen man
of business. His contemporaries, Mar

Coming down TO modern times, Ten
nyson was artistically the most deii-
cate and fastidious of men. A mis-
placed comma, an epithet which was

Yet he was perhaps the most utterly
