Whitman off
For Two Games

OFF to play two games in Greg n,
the Whitman college football team
leaves for Corvallis, where. tney play
Wednesday afternoon with the unde-
feated Oregon Aggies. Whitman shows
little results of her hard game last
Friday and if the boys are In good
shape should win. O. A. C. defeated
Willamette by a big score Saturday
and they are confident of winning.
Saturday Whitman plays Multnomah
at Portland.
With all the advantage of weight,
home grounds and home crowd tn y
should win, but since the game here
last Friday the local team has plenty
of backing. In all probabilities, Whit
man will take the game, though neither
the team nor the coach are suffering
from OVercOnfidence.
Should Whitman win from O. y. c.
the championship would be further
muddled than ever. With Idaho loser
of two games, Whitman loser of two,
Oregon loser in one, and only w. S. c..
|. O. A. c. and Washington indicated
the complexity that surrounded last
years championship bids fair to be re-
peated.
For. according to the dope. Greg IN
will win from Washington: Idaho from
". S. c.; O. 4. c. from oregon, and
this will leave O. A. c.. at the top Df
the heap. If Whitman defeats her,
then it is hopelessly muddled, as Whit
worth, the only non conference team in
the race, has a defeat in her record.
Whitman and Washington, each play
four of the other conference teams,
Idaho. O. A. C. and w. S. c. each play
three.

SPERRY WILL
NOT LET MEN
GO ASHORE

MANILA. Nov. 9.-Admiral Sperry
refuses to allow any of the men to go
ashore to participate in the celebra-
ton planned for the fleets reception
on account of the cholera. The c1tl-
zens of Manila resent this attitude
saying it keeps tourists away They
are thinking of appealing TO Washing
ton for an order allowing the men
their liberty.
Sperry take the attitude that it is
not necessary and that one life among
the men would be too dear price to
pay for any celebration. Business men
who contributed for the celebration are
leading the movement to appeal To
Washington.

Aroused by the remark. Mr., Grimm glanced
round. ''Oh, thank YOU" he apologized hastily
Il didn't hear you at first Thank YOU
The newcomer nodded, smiled, and passed on
taking a seat two or three tables down.
Apparently this trifling courtesy had broken the
spell of reverie; for Mr.. Grimm squared round to

dropped in the single lump of sugar. He idly stirred

His face dead white; his fingers moved little,
nervously, weakly, then they were still.
Several persons rose at the sound of the falling

The possibilities of the Columbia
river section have been grasped by II
F. Lange Of Walla Walla, who writes
as follows Of that magic river high
way and its resources:
A great deal has been said, and
much more will be said about the
great Columbia river and its import
ance for the inland empire, says Mr..
Lange.
Having Travelled extensively along
this great river, which in many re-
spects is second to none in our coun-
try of unlimited possibilities, this
magnificent stream has made me
think that it stands for much more
than the present plans concerning 1t
calls for.
In the Big Bend immense stretches
of land are comparatively worthless
unless water makes them productive.
The amount of water is there and this
same river has millions of horse pow
er to force the water where 1t will do
great good.
Private corporations can do much
and reap golden harvests, but why
should not the government make an
adequate investment here and thus
build homes for millions Of people.
There are a number OF rapids and
falls along the course Of the Column
bia. At present they are a detriment
to navigation, but why should not the
reclamation bureau build dams and
locks and power and pumping station
and thus bring navigation into our
midst, irrlgate about 100000 acres
Of land, provide electricity for car
lines and light as well as power for
garden and field?
This would take more than any cor !
poration would feel justified to invest. |
and a corporation would not be dis
posed to benefit such large area and |
such great numbers of people without
'eaping unfair remuneration.
Only our great country can make |
his great river the source of blessing |
Tor the inland empire 1t is destined to
'e. If a far seeing statesman would
ievote his strength to accomplish this
he would create one Of the most pop
liar and delightful sections of coun-
ry hard to surpass.

finances. If it is found that the wires
can be run to the towns below the
gap and procure enough business to
pay an interest on the investment
they viii be run there.

patronage OF the company Is sufficient
to Justify it the lead Will be carried
that way, anyhow The plan is to

Companies Respond With the Three
Per Cent of Earnings.

The state treasurer's office is in re-
ceipt Of a remittance amounting to
$l832.S5 from the Pullman company,
as payment on the per cent tax on
its gross earnings in this state for the
year 1907, and the sum Of $314.58
from the Northern Express company
for the same period, says the States
man.
The Wells-Fargo Express company
has filed it's statement OF earnings
for the years 1906 and 1907, but has
not contributed any cash to Oregon's
treasury as yet on this amount.
The law levying this tax came into
being through the initiative petition
and embraces sleeping car companies,
refrigerator car companies, oil COM
panies, express and telegraph and tel
ephone companies, and If enforce
able will result in gaining consider
able revenue for the state.
Some question exists in the minds
of those interested in its provisions
as to whether 1t is enforceable and
during the year 1907 suit was insti-
tuted against the Pacific States Tele-
graph and Telephone company to en-
force the payment of the tax by that
corporation. This suit is still pend
ing although its early settlement is
now expected.
