COLLEGE BOYS
JUDGE STOCK

One of the main attractions at
the fair this morning was the stock
judging contest in which about a
dozen students of the Washington
State college at Pullman partici-
pated. The young stockmen judged
FIVE fine beef cattle. Their work
will in turn be judged by John l..
Smith, who Is In charge of the
stock exhibit and his assistants. A
large crowd of their friends and
stockmen gathered to see how the
novices went about it. Every now
and then grizzled old grower
would remark: THAT kid knows
where the beef is the best, all
right"
The young men went at the work
with considerable nervousness, but
all of them seemed to share an
equal knowledge of the specimens
before them.

w. w. P. WOULD
DEPRESS TRACKS

Another plan for working out the
proposed track elevation on East
Front avenue at the Schade brew
cry has been submitted to the
board of public works by the
Washington Water Power Co. and
referred by the board to the city
engineer. The city engineers
plan proposed going through pri-
vate ground, which would involve
cutting through the east end of
store at the point where the
street turns to the north in front
of the brewery. The alternative
plan of the w. w. P. does away
with the necessity of cutting
through this building and will
therefore lessen the cost of the
improvement.
The proposed grade separation
will depress the street so that
the tracks of the Hillyard line of
the W. w. p. will pass underneath
switch of the Northern Pacific
at this point and the main line
of the Inland Empire electric sys-
TEN. All parties interested are
agreeable to the Improvement. as
the crossing is dangerous one
and ought to be eliminated.

INDIAN DOES
DARING FEAT
SAVES CHllDREN'S LIVES AT
FAIR GROUNDS BY FINE
WORKMANSHIP IN STOP
PING RUNAWAY TEAM.

The expert horsemanship Of a
blenketed Indian at the fair
grounds this morning undoubtedly
saved the lives of several children
who were playing about the
grounds, and perhaps the lives of
others. One of the Hazelwood
teams, becoming frightened while
standing I'm front of the entrance
to the grandstand, reared upon
their hind legs, paved the air and
then started in a frantic dash.
Several people tried to head
them off without success. A
blanketed Indian riding a
spanking bay horse hove into sight
from behind one of the booths.
"Yip!" he shouted at sight of the
runaway team. Then he dug his
maccosined toes into his horses
ribs and pursued the runaway.
Neatly coming before them he
reached far off his saddle, grabbed
one of the runaways by the bit
and with a force which almost
tore him from his own horse
brought the maddened team to a
stop just before they ran over a
lot of youngsters.
The Indian was given about $40
by the bystanders who saw the
act and the gratified parents OF
the children. He quietly stored
the change away and rode off
without word

PUBLIC MARKET MUST

There were 30 teams on the mar

the block owned by the city is an

side and favors setting it aside for
that purpose.
BY the farmers agreeing to build
their own sheds he thinks the ques-
ton has been solved.
