A COMMENTARIES PROJECT
Movement to Secure Target Practice
in National Rifle Association
For West

Captain Edward p. Emmick, Sec
rotary of the w. S. G. rifle club
branch of the National Rifle Associa-
ton, and a member of the rife team
which won the national champion
ship for indoor target practice last
year, has started a campaign for a
branch of the national association for
the west and to hold the competitive
shoot on the Pacific Coast. AT pre-
sent the only place where contests
are held is at Seagirt, New Jersey,
for outdoor practice, and this makes
it impossible for western teams to
enter the contest, owing to the heavy
expense of crossing the continent.
1t is hoped to get the field divided
and have the western clubs meet at
some place on the coast and have an
annual contest at the same time that
the annual shoot is held at Seagirt,
New Jersey. Had this been the case
last year there is no doubt that
Washington State College would have
won the national outdoor champion
ship as it did the indoor contest.
Captain Mitchell U. S. A., mill
tary commandant at Washington
State College, is anxious to have this
done and is being ably backed in agi-
tating the change by the loyal mem
bers of the team. Captain Emmi ck
as secretary of the club, is doing
good work and already a number of
western college and military organi-
cations are working with Washing
ton State College, the originator of
the scheme, to get a western rife
range.
Nearly all of last years winning
rifle team Is in the school this year
and the men are taking a deeper in
terest in the work than ever before,
for the winning of the national cham
pionship last year awakened much
interest and enthusiasm. A meeting
was held last Friday evening at which
a permanent association was form
ed under the National Rifle Associa-
ton rules. Cadet Lieutenant e. C.
Stewart was elected president; Ca
Diet Lieutenant S. e. Cav, vice presi- |
dent; Cadet Captain e. f. Emmick, |
secretary The organiza-
ton will be known as the W. S. c. |
Rifle Club. All male members of |
Washington State College may be- |
come active members and the ladies |
and faculty may become associate |
members. President Bryan commits |
stoned A. j. Morgan cadet lieutenant |
and range officer. He will be in /
structor in rifle shooting both indoor
and outdoor and will have charge
OF all the target ranges.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL NEWS

The high school football team lost
the second game of the season last
Saturday to the Garfield high school
team, the score standing ten 10 six
The home team played by far the
better ball and lost the game in only
fifteen minutes of loose PLAYING.
They played clean, open bail and
have received several compliments
on their conduct during the game
when two Garfield players were
caught smuggling. The first half end
ed with the score six to nothing in
favor of Pullman after the home
team had played excellent ball. In
the first part of the second hale of
the game they became careless and
Garfield scored two touchdowns. The
home team held them down and was
within three yards of the goal line
twice but lost the ball both times.
The forward pass was tried several
times but was worked successfully
only once. Hinchliff, left tackle on
the Pullman team, made a run of
sixty yards but was tackled when
within one yard of the goal The
Pullman team lined mp as follows:
Jones, center; Ferbrache, Crosby and
Chnrchlli, guards Hinchliff and
Nessly, tackles; Livingston and
Schlafer, ends; Moss, quarter; Cap
tain Wexler, fullback, and Kennedy
and Cannon, halves
The team left yesterday for Te-
koa where they will play the Tekoa
high school today (Friday.) 1t was
hoped that the team could get a
game with Pennington high school
on their way home but this has been
cancelled. The Tekoa high school
has fast team and is heavier than
Pullman's team but the local team
is expected to put up a good game.
The boys have learned lesson from
their defeat by Garfield and will not
go into the Tekoa game too confident.
Coach Holt Boone has been work
ing the players ahrd and most of
the men are in good condition for
the game today. Fifteen men, in
Guiding the coach and manager, were
taken on the trip The line up will
probably be the same that played
against the Garfield team last Sat
urday. 1t has been too wet to prac-
tice much this week but after some
fast signal practice the team is in
good condition.

FIELD PEAS PAY WE'LL
Washington State College Farm
Raises 81 Bushels Per Acre.
Selling at S..


Washington State College raised
. acres of Canadian field peas this
year and the crop has been thresh-
ed and an average yield of 81 bushels
per acre was obtained. The peas are
of fine quality and are in demand at
$500 per bushel for seed. Profess
sor Severance received an order from
Oregon for lot of the peas at that
price, but he is anxious to distribute
the seed among Washington farm
ers and have all of 1t planted in this
state
While it is not likely that when
pea growing becomes a regular in
dustry that the price will remain at
81 per bushel, it is believed that they
Will average 81 per bushel and at an
average of S37 per acre for a single
crop they will pay better than any
other kind of grain. Peas are worth
about twice as much as barley for
fattening stock and barley has sell
dom been less than so cents per
bushel in the past several years If
farmers can raise peas on land thew
would otherwise summer-falloW, and
leave the soil in better condition than
II 1t had been SUNNI er-fallowed, the
question of losing the use of half of
the land every year or all of it every
alternate year, will be solved and
more live stock will be grown in the
Palouse country. Professor Sever
ance and all members of the Sta
ton staff are anxious to have a large
acreage of peas planted in Washing
ton next year.

The agricultural class in the high
school was moved from its crowd
ed quarteds in the bell room, on the
third floor to the basement, where
there is much more room and where
there is better equipment. This class
is making excellent progress under
the management of Professor H. ].
Lechner, instructor in agriculture.
Thomas Neill & Son have their
conservatory running now and are
offering cut flowers and potted plants
for sale. This a new industry for
Pullman and ellis a long felt want"
for at no time in the past have the
local Conservatives been able to sup
ply the local demand for flowers.

COLLEGE TO HAVE GRANGE

G. b. Kegley, master of the Wash
ington State Grange, is in Pullman
and has arranged to organize local
grange at Washington State College
toni ght. The grange membership will
be composed largely of members of
the college faculty and especially
those connected with the agricultural
departments of the big college, are
expected to join. This move is made
partly for the purpose of having a
grange here to take charge of ar
rangements for the annual state
grange m Getting which Will be held in
Pullman next June. 1t is desired to
have local grange in charge of the
preparations for welcoming and car
ing for the hundreds of delegates
who will be here at that time. In
cidently this means another big con-
vention for Pullman next year.

TRIES To END LIFE,
FIGHTS HER SAVIOR
Policeman Rescues Woman
just Before Man Leaps
TO Death Nearby.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Grace An
thony. who, the police say, tried TO
drown herself in the Hudson river. de-
clared in police court today that she
knew nothing Of the young man who
threw himself 135 feet from the River
side viaduct, almost at her feet, and
was crushed to death, as she was being
led away from the pier by a Waterman.
The Waterman says he saw the woman
walk out TO the end of the pier early
this morning, and that he followed her
and grasped her just as she was about
to throw herself into the river. She
put up q terrific struggle. and as he
tried to find policeman she attempted
to jump In front OF a railroad train.
When the watehman was leading her
under the Riverside viaduct the body
of man hurtled through the air from
the top of the structure and landed, in
q huddled heap. directly in front of
them. The Waterman found that the
man was dead.
Isn't he lucky7' remarked the woman,
much luclxier than 1 am
She rode beside the body in an ambu-
lance to the station. The police suspect
a suicide pact, but she denies absolute
" that she ever saw the man before.
Almost every bone in his body was
broken. A search of the clothing found
only a small pocket book. The only clue
TO his identity was a letter 10 Kath-
erine,' which was in the book. IT read:
My Dear Little XII could not live
any day without you. My last prayer is
fer you. / see your dear face now.
You are Gods good woman.

Together We shall live there and no
one shall part us. Good-by and so long.
I am not dead, but only going first.
Good-by till I meet you, dear little
Katherine, in heaven. MAY God help
you and make your every hour in life

EPISCOPAL HIGH.

A mild disappointment prevails at
Central High School this morning over
the failure of the track team to land
the long end of that dual meet with
the Episcopal High Schoo! at Alexandria
yesterday afternoon, when both teams
scored IS points.
Although prospects were not as bright
this season as in previous years, the
local athletes expected to bring back
a victory. hence the disappointment,
mild because 1t was not a defeat.
CentraIs team is composed, almost en-
tirely, of inexperienced men. and when
it is remembered that Pendleton and
Grant. two of the best scholastic track
athletes in this section of the country,
were opponents. it is not surprising
that Central did not duplicate its
previous performances. Grant and
Pendleton alone scored 30 points for
the Alexandria school.
Coach Foley, when seen this morning,
said he was greatly pleased with the
showing of the washington youngsters.
and that with the experience they have
gained this season he feels confident
Central viii assume her former prestige
in track next year. Foley has worked
wonders with the Blue and White squad
this year, and is largely responsible for
the teams excellent season. It is
doubtful whether a better track coach
has ever graced local confines than
the present high school instructor, and
the doings of his charges this season
are excellent examples OF his ability.
But few veterans are to be found in
the squads ranks, and while these were
big help, il was really the youngsters
developed by Foley that kept the Epis-
cOpal runners from landing the bic
annual event yesterday.
This practically winds up the track
season at Central, and general interest
now centers in the baseball nine. which
