.LAKUM QUICKEN
IS TAb00ED
Hazing Of any Kind Forbid
den al Whitman

Students at Whitman college will
have to be content with hot hand and
the milder forms of torture for the
new students this year. The fresh
ones Will not have to Undergo the tor
ments of being hazed and woe be to
any who touch them. Neither can any
class paint its numerals on he camp
us.
This is the substance of the law laid
down by President PenTose at chapel
this morning. The malicious infiict-
ioT. of personal indisnities' will not be
for a moment tolerated this year and
the time honored custom of enforced
bathing in Lakum Duckum is 20 be
tabOoed. This is in view of the many
accidents and hard feeling caused by
hazing in the past. Not that it has
ever been tolerated but that a stricter
observance of rules than ever is to be
introduced this year.
Students who have desires along
this line will have to take it out by
beating their victims at checkers or
inflicting some other heavy and hu-
initiating punishment Of like nature.
For haZng is a thing past at ;he col
lege. No more may unwilling victims
who have refused to salaam to the
haughty senior, be dragged from bed
and after a coat of carriage paint be
treated to a plGrge il the placid
waters of the pond which the boys de-
clare is pleading for occupancy. No
more may students be induced to join
secret societies and practice a system
of grips and signals of various
kinds, intended for the amusement of
their fellows. HaZing is of the past 4
and will be severely punished if at
tempted.
Another thing which is making the
students wear long faces is he rule,
a new one, decreeing that if any class
paint its numerals on any property
belonging to the college. they shall
pay twice the cost Of repainting the
same. One coat is to cover the OUTLAY
in repain.ing, the other to serve as a
reminder for future reference.

MANY ADDITIONS
HAVE BEEN MADE
SINCE JANUARY 1, IA TRACTS AD-
JOINING THE CITY HAVE
BEEN PLATED.

One of the best indications of Walla
Walla's rapid advancement during tine
past few months is found in the fact
that since January l, IA additions u
the city of Walla Walla have been
plated.
This is according to the books OF
that six other tracts and additions
have been plated throughout the
county. The largest is that of the
PascO Power & Water company which
Alfalfa and the Snake river. One OF
the six is an addition to Waitsburg.
a record of the plating is now being
entered in the county abstract and
field book.
The county commissioners wish to
announce to those contemplating the
plating of tracts which may shortly
be included in the city limits that the
which provision has not been made for
streets at least so feet in width. No
additions will be admitted to the city
in which the streets are less than 80
feet in width and the commissioners
desire to have all additions which
may in the near future be included
within the corporation limits. to con-
form with the city's demands for the
came so as to avoid trouble at later
date.
While this does not apply to addl
tions three or four miles distant from
the present city boundaries, it is highly
advisable that all plats made be sub
mitted to the county commissioner
before any parts of the same are solo
as in numerous past instances addl-
tions have been found to conflict with
the county road system and other
county regulations after part of the
additions had been sold. This natur-
allv resulted in more or less ccnfu
sion and needless trouble to the COM
missioners.

NO WATER RIGHTS WITH LAND
Spokane Attorney Files Suit Which
May Upset. Order of Things.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Sept. 16.-That
not land patent granted since 1877
by the United States. carried to the
patentee any riparian or water rights
and that all such rights are governed
solely by state and federal laws for
the benefit Of the whole public is the
contention of Albert Allen, of Spokane,
attorney for the Spokane Valley Land
x Water company, who applied today
To the chief justice of the state su-
preme court for a writ of error to
transfer a case to the federal court
OF appeals so this question may be
determined. The writ was granted.
In brief, if the federal courts in
dorse the contention of Mr.. Allen.
thousands of existing and used water
rights will be wiped out. Allen con-
tends that ir 1877 congress passed an
act reserving water rights from all
patents, and that since that date no
conveyance from the government gave
TO any grantee ally riparian rights. In
o-her words. the old and accepted Gus
tom which gave to an abutting land
owner the right to enjoy the waters
ol stream, to divert water for irri-
cation and the like, is based upon no
law.

PRISONERS MEET DEFEAT
WONDERS TAKE ANOTHER GAME
MAKING TWO FOR EACH
TEAM

In a game which was played hard
from first to last yesterday afternoon,
the Wonders won from the convicts
at the penitentiary by the score of Il
to 8.
Despite the one-sided score, the
game was played in good style by
both teams and the victory was not
a walkaway for the winners. But the
town team went out to win and they
dished up the mustard so not the
prisoners couldn't eat it.
At 2:30 the game was called with
Kimberly behind the twirler to see
fair play. From the beginning of the
game the Wonders gobbled the honors
and as they tore around the bases the
crowd of rooters from the city yelled
themselves hoarse. The prisoners
yelled too, not because their team
was winning, but for the pure love of
letting out their voices which have
not the freedom to escape at pleasure.
The game was not noted for bril-
liant plays although once or twice it
looked as if some of the lads had
handled the horsehide sphere before.
But the twirler at the pen was bumped
and bumped hard. He got his straight
through and when the game was over
the pride of the city had II nice fat
scores to their credit. Not that the
convicts i'll their sea -colored costumes
were not there with the goods. They
were. But they were not there with
enough of it. They made few costly
errors. however which let the town
boys beat the globe to the home cush-
ion. Good feeling prevailed on both
sides and the prisoners are not yet
convinced they are not the better
PLAYERS. This makes two victories for
each team so the championship is stlH
undecided

AFTER
VARIOUS DIVES
Five Warrants Issued for
Sunday Violations

Informations charging the keepers
of five local houses with violations of
the Sunday closing law We're filed by
Pro secuting Attorney Rupp with Coun-
ty Clerll Hill today. and warrants
served on the alleged offenders, all OF
whom escaped incarceration in the
county Jail by the deposit of a $3.50
pail each with Clerk Hill
Those on whom warrants were serv
ed are: Kitty West, proprietress OF
a house over the Farmers saloon, Fred
Sechier, proprietor of the Delmonico
lodging house, Hazel Cauthorn. pro-
prietress of a house over the Eureka
saloon, Mary Brown, proprietress Of
a house on West Alder and Nita Willis
who runs house on West Rose street.
Kitty West is charged with selling
a pint of lager beer to J. A. McMOn-
nes on Sunday Aug. 25. Virgil Wag-
goner and Curtis Ryan being named
as witnesses. The date of the offense
of Fred Sechier is given as Sunday
September Is. He is charged with
selling a like amount of liquor to Vir-
gil Waggoner. Hazel Cauth
cused OF giving like offense on Au-
gust %, Virgil Waggoner Willis
Launley and Curtis Ryan being named
as witnesses. September is named
as the date of Mary Browns offensc
and Virgil and oliver Waggoner as
witnesses, Nita Willis is accused of
selling liquor, the regulation pint Of
lager beer, to Virgil Waggoner on Au
gust 25.
Judging from the frequency with
which the name of Virgil Waggoner ap-
pears as witness and the dates of the
offenses it would appear that the Pros
ecuting Attorney has had an eye on
the alleged offenders for some time
and that the fuse of the bomb which
was exploded in the heart of the
Great White Way today has been
burning dangerously low for the past
few weeks
Prosecuting Attorney Rupp, how :
ever, maintains q sphinx-like silence
as to his modus operedni.
The cases, viii be thoroughly aired
in the October term Of court.
