those towns if saloons were retained,
and the merchants have plainly told
the farmers that they prefer the
trade of the saloon element t. that
of the farmers. That mrars that
many of the best farmers will come
to Pullman to trade here From
a moral standpoint we would have
liked to have reported those towns
voted to dispense with saloons, but
from selfish standpoint Pullman
will profit by the downfall of those
towns. Palouse and ColfaX have
boosted that they got money spent
for liquor by Pullman people. Now
our merchants can boast that they
will get money that would otherwise
have been spent in Colfax by the
far1 erS whose trade really belongs
to that town. Last Saturday a num-
Der of the leading farmers Of near
COlfaX paid up all their bills at Col
fax stores and notified the proprie-
tors that they would not trade at
Colfax stores again if the town went
wet and we believe that these men
gill keep their pledge. Pullman and
Garfield are certain to gain many
new customers as a result of the at
titude of the farmers.

THE KREIsLER RECTAL

Fritz Kreisler, the worlds great
est violinist" gave a recital in the
new auditorium of the State College
on Monday night. The recital was
one of merit and shows that the
claim of Mr.. Kreisler's press agents
that he is the worlds greatest vio-
linist" Is not without merit Mr..
KreisIer delighted a large audience
despite the fact that the weather
was as bad as could be imagined, a
torrent of rain falling and keeping
many from the recital He is a
polished gentleman. pleasing con-
yersationalist and his work is adj
mittedly the best ever heard here.
The School of Music is TO be con-
graduated and complimented on get
ting this great musician for such q
recital in Pullman. In conversation
with The Herald reporter Mr.. Kreis-
Ter declared this one of the richest
and most interesting countries he
has ever visited.

LAST GAME OF FOOTBALL
Washington State College TO Meet
University of Denver at Spo-
kane Saturday

Next Saturday morning, December
4, a special train will leave the Nor
thern Pacific depot at Pullman at $50
bound for Spokane. The train will
carry hundreds of football enthus-
lasts, it is hoped, for the last game
in which Washington State College
will participate this year, will be
played in Spokane that day 1t is a
post-season game, and the opposing
team will be from the University of
Denver, Colorado. A good game is
assured. The Colorado school has
a strong team, one of the best in
the middle west. Washington State
College has the strongest team In the
northwest.
Spokane will do all IL can to boost
the game and help Washington Stat ,
College to win. The game will cost
this school vast sum in money and
a liberal patronage must be given
II the management Is to come out
whole" on the game. Pullman neo-
pie should give this game their pa
tronage. for the management needs
the assistance. This has been n bad
year for football, from a financial
standpoint, for there have been few
good games in Pullman, where lib
eral patronage is given. AS Wash
ington State College is the only
school which will play Denver Uni
versity on this trip, the entire ex-
pense of bringing the team west falls
upon this school.

MIR. COLYER GOES EAST

w. f. Colyer left last Thursday
evening for Quincy, Illinois, where
he has the position Of postal clerk
on the railroad, running between
Quincy and Chicago. Mr.. Colyer
has been here two months, visiting
his family, who live in Pullman. He
hopes to return next spring and, if
the crop is good next year, and he
raises what he hopes to on his big
ranch in Adams county, he will give
up the position he has held for the
past 20 years and come to Pullman.
to reside. permanently. Mr.. Colyer
has two sections of land 4 miles
from Lind. Adams county, and has
$50 acres in wheat this fall. With a
good crop land prospects now are
right, for there has been an abund-
ance of fall rains and the grain got
good start) he ought TO make a
snug fortune next season. My deep
est regret is that did not know of
Pullman when | first came west TO
invest four year ago. Had | known
of Pullman and the splendid country
around it would have bought near
here instead of in Adams county,
said Mr.. Colyer.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

4 The high school football team com
pleted its season last Thursday by
defeating Moscow by a score of 10 to
0. The Pullman team showed better
form than ever before during the
season and only once did it look
as if Moscow would score The
Pullman line held in that instance
and Moscow failed to make yardage.
The Moscow team was fully as heavy
as Pullman's but they were unable
to break up interference and to get
through the Pullman line which held
every time.
The first touchdown was made in
three minutes after the team had
been downed but four times A
long end run, a well executed for
ward pass and couple of line bucks
carried the ball over the goal line.
From this time until the end of the
game the result was never in doubt.
A large crowd saw the game and
were very courteous in their treat
ment of the visitors. There were a
number of Pullman students pre-
sent,1.s

KILLED MANY WILD GEESE

William Swain and William Cham
bers returned Tuesday night from
DIX, Oregon, after successful
goose hunt. They were gone one
week and spent the time not occu-
pied in travelling, in hunting geese.
They killed IS fine geese and brought
30 of them to Pullman where they
distributed them among their many
friends here and wild goose was the
menu on many a Pullman table this
week. The geese were killed in a
large wheat field where they went
from the Columbia river to feed.
This is the largest bag of game
brought to Pullman this year and
the fortunate hunters are receiving
congratulations on their success.
Both these gentlemen are expert
hunters as shown by their work on
this trip.

PRESIDENT BRYAN SELLS PIGS

President f. A. Bryan, who owns
more than 1000 acres of fine land
west of Pullman and calls 1t the
Pussy Willow ranch, has been do
ing a good business selling purebred

dent Bryan exhibited his herd at the
Spokane Interstate fair and the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at
Seattle and took the grand cham
pion and other prizes. He has sold
the following hogs recently: Boar

The Girl at the Helm" was pre-
sented in the Pullman opera house
Tuesday night by good company
and was greeted with fair house.
The play is one of much merit and
was wCll presented. The company is
large, has good chorus and the
scenic work is among the best ever
seen here.
The Ivy Theatre Is a memory. The
building is being dismantled, the
equipment removed and the raised
flooring taken out. This gives a va
cant business building on Main
street, for the first time in many
months. This building seems hoo
dooed" for it has been vacant more
than any other building in town.

less than 20 per cent is still held by

The price of all kinds of grain is

little is offered for sale. 1t is re-
ported that a man was offered and

Washington State College Defeats
Whitman College at Walla
Walla, 23 to 8

Last Thursday Thanksgiving
day. Wasm ngton State College de-
feated Whitman College, at Walla
Walla, winning a decisive victory.
The farmers played all around the
missionaries in the first half. max
ing 90 to 0, but in the second half
when several w. S. G. men had been
crippled, Whitman managed to put
one across the goal line, while w. S.
c. made a field goal, ending the
game with the score 23 to 6, In favor
of w. S. G..
This ended the season, and the
score made that day was the only
score made against w. S. c. during
the season, and only in the last game
was w. S. C.'s goal line crossed. Bor-
leske, the Whitman star, is, of
course, responsible for this score.
He got the ball on a tumble and be-
fore he could be stopped had sprint
ed almost the length of the field
and crossed the goal line for a
touchdown Goal was kicked. This
occurred in the last five minutes of
the game.
This clearly leaves w. S. C. north
west champion, figuring either by
points made in the season or any
other way. Neither w. S. C. nor
the University of Washington lost a
game during the season, but w. S. C.
made within 10 of as many points
in four games as University of Wash
ington made in six games. No one
here doubts that if w. S. C. and Uni
versity OF Washington could have met
this year w. s. C. would have won,
for it is admitted that we have the
strongest team in the northwest.
