PROF. FULMER NOT To
LEAVE THE COLLEGE
Washington State Will Not Lose Head
of the Chemistry Department.

Citizens of Pullman and friends of
Washington State College in the
northwest will be delighted to learn
that Professor Elton Fulmer is to
remain with the college despite the
fact that he has been elected profess
sor of agricultural chemistry of the
University of Minnesota, at a salary
60 per cent better than he was re-
ceiying here. The board of regents
have acted wisely in advancing Pro-
fessor Fulmer's salary so that he
can afford to stay here. While the
salary under the new ruling will not
be equal to that offered by Min
nesota, Professor Fulmer is willing

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE
NORTHWEST CHAMPIONS
Track Team Wins Overwhelming Vic
tory at Seattle Conference Meet.

Saturday, June 10, was great
day in the history of Washington
State College. On that day the Pull
man school became the acknowledge
ed champion of tracks in the north
west, winning 63 out of 1871 points
in the conference meet with five
colleges entered. The nearest rival
of w. S. c. was Oregon Agricultural
College, with 32 points, only half
of what w. S. c. earned. The as
soc:ated press dispatches sent out all
over the world Saturday night, ad-
vertised Washington State College
and the town of Pullman as they
had never been advertised before.

flying colors. The 100 and the 22G-

as expected and Nelson got away
with both events.
In the finals of the 100-yard dash
Nelson won, with Martin, of Whit

According to some of the sports who
have attended nearly all the track

of years, Nelson is the first man who
has ever run the 100 yards dash
in Seattle in 10 seconds Hat
Nelson is the best 100-yard man
seen in Seattle, according to the
time, but Martin of Whitman is very
little inferior.

YALE'S OLDEST
 GRAD REMINISCENT

New Haven. Nov. 12-The oldest living Yale graduate. Henry P. Hodges. '3s. of Bridgehampton. N. Y.. has a letter in the Yale Alumni Weekly to- day giving impressions of his days at Yale seventy years ago. Among other things he wrote:
 South Middle College building stiIl stands monumental of the past l rooued there in the second and third terms of sophomore year. To this day I have a living memory of that experience in my restless. disquieted nights: bedbuEs. tortoise shape. bit with the tenaCity and venom of the famed snapping turtle.
 Through life I have risen early, about 5 o'clock in summer and in winter; in college taking a. walk before breakfast and often meeting Judge Dagget and Noah Webster. The for mer died, being ever s6 years of age. and the latter nearly S5. To that habit attribute in part my longev- ity.
 Long life may be inherited. No machine unused goes at its best, nor does 1t do so if overused-
 ing great age I would name these: keep the machinery from rust, eat no more than what is easily digested; all overplus is an extra load to carry. Cultivate peace of mind Worry hin ders and never helps Abstain from all fntoxicants as a beverage Be an optimist if you can, and if you can not. don't be a pessimist- Do good to your fellow men; that will do you good"

BRIDGEPORT HARBOR
 AGAIN NEGLECTED
But Southport and Westport Come in

Special from United Press.)

Washington. Nov. 12- = Thirty-six millions for river and harbor improve ments throughout the country
 This is the enormous total of expen- ditures recommended for the next fis- cal year. by Brigadier General w. l.. Marshall, chief engineer of the army, in his annual report
 It appears from the report of Gen. eral Marshall that Secretary Dickinson cut his original estimates for fortifica- tions in two. The chief of engineers first submitted a recommendation for the expenditure of nearly four and a half million dollars for Sea-coast de- lenses next year This the secretary dividual item as it now stsnds. is s1,- 319.000 for sea-coast batteries in the Philippines.
 "The natural beauty of Niagara Falls has been seriously injured" by various diversions to power companies is the conclusion reached by the chief of engineers upon reports made to him after careful measurements of the falls themselves. The increased diversions have reduced the height of both the American and Horseshoe Falls "Ad- ditional diversions. now under way. will add to the damage" says the re- port.
 The exact amount is sS6,s47.715. dis tributed as follows:
 For continuing contracts. including Mississippi river commission, $9.15S.- s2s: rivers and harbors work (general including examinations. surveys and contingencies), $2T. .03s. .037.
 Massachusetts gets the largest single estimate. $1.200 900. for the g foot chan nel project in Boston harbor.
 The more important individual esti- mates follow:
 Connecticut-Connect river. below Hartford. $42.000: New Haven harbor. including West river. s40.000. also breakwater. New rfaven. s100. 1000: Nor walk harbor. sS.0o0: harbors at Stam- ford. Southport. Westport and Sauga- tuck river. combined. S4s.411.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor of the Farmer, Sir:- think you are in error in- your
 editorial article. last night. in refer
 ence to the organization of the Tax
 payers league, in saying: "At present. we only know that the project was conceived at a gathering of partisan composition held to present a testi-
 monial of admiration to a mayorial The meeting at which the idea of a Taxpayers league for the protection of
 all taxpayers against extravaganza in
 city affairs, was preached, was called
 by the presidents of the Board of Trade, Manufacturers association and Business Mems association at the sug- gestion of several taxpayers who be- lieved the annual extra expense of $23,- 900 for the fire department was more
 than the city ought to pay under the This matter was the only one dis cussed, the formation of a Taxpayers league to take care of such subjects in the future. being incidental to that discussion. Neither the meeting nor the discussion could be called political in any sense. There were present committees from the bodies named and several other taxpayers Of the com mittee of five which | appointed two were Democrats, but as a matter of fact the political complexion did not enter my mind
 So far as the meeting being held for the purpose of presenting a testimonial
 to a mayorial candidate or any one else, I will say that such a subject was not mentioned. and that the first
 heard of 1t was after a presentation
 had been made to Mayor Lee on Mon day. The meeting in question had nothing to do with the presentation Respectfully,

 BIG RAMPAGE
WATERS ALMOST ISOLATE PULLEN HOUSE HR. HENSON EREGTS LIGHT HOUSE TO WARN GUESTS. JIM KETTLES GETS WET.

Mill creek, that gentle little stream that meanders past the Temple of Justice and through the pine grove in the yard of the Pullen house until it finally contributes its tiny flood to the waters of Lynn canal, is usually modest and well behaved stream. In summer it purls its melody in har- mony with the zephers that sweep the signing pines; in winter it quiet. ly trickles beneath the ice and snow. Possibly Mill creek caught the con tagion of natures unrest from far off Italy-anyway it went on a rampage yesterday afternoon and over flowed its banks, even submerging the bridge that leads to the Pullen house front porch,
 Mir. Herbert Henson, who in the absence of Mrs. PuIlen, is general factotum at the Pullen house, was walking musingly homeward late yes terday afternoon, his thoughts far from things terrestrial when he dis covered the innundation by the simple  expedient of walking into 1t before he noticed where his steps were lead, ing,
 Fearing lest the same mishap should befan other guests of the house, Mir. Henson immediately repaired to the barn, and with the aid of Joseph Toyozumi. the assistant chef, an empty drygoods box and a lantern, succeeded in improvising temporary lighthouse, which was erected in the north east corner of the back yard, where a small foot bridge still remain ed above water.
 Still mindful of his duties and ap- prehensive that some hasting home farer, mindful of the sayory supper awaiting, might not catch the signi. canoe of the little light that cast it's wan rays athart the icy pool MT. Henson resolved to brave the terrors of the wintery winds and warn all who approached. For thirty minutes more or less he patrolled with meas ured pace the lonely reaches of Mill creek, his cheerful tones ringing out Q; the darkness and guiding the guests to the one straight and mar -ow way, At last all had arrived, heI thought, and going to supper Mir Henson sat down with easy con science and smiling mien.
 All had come save one. That one was Jim Kettles. Forgotten by Mir Henson and coming home late MT. Kettles unmindful of the warning

Fire broke out in the residence Of Thomas o'Couucu on Eighth street between State and Main at S:l5 o'clock last night. Mr. o'Conuell was sleeping in the front room in his house when awakened by the flames. He at once turned in the fire alarm which was promptly responded to.
 There was a delay of almost ten minutes between the time the hose was coupled to the hydrant and the water turned on, due to a length of hose which was frozen. Tanned by the high wind. the flames obtained considerable headway.
 At last the frozen hose was re moved and another section substi- tuted Two streams were turned on the burning building and the fire was soon flooded out. The interior Of the house was gutted. however. and the contents were total loss. Mir. O'Conueu says his loss in household goods was about $l5O. The damage to the house. which is owned by S. 1T Yeomaus. is estimated at $25O. Mr. O'Conneu says that he has no idea how the fire started. Presumably an
