Is COMING TO PULLMAN

The Spokane Chronicle has the fol-
lowing to say about one of the new
students who will enter Washington
State College this fall:
Cecil Thompson, former high
school baseball and football star, and
one of the best known baseball play
ers in the Inland Empire, will enter
Washington State College at Pullman
on the opening of that institution,
September 23.
During the season just closed
Thompson has played a great game
at first base for the Brandon team in
the Twilight league, where his work
on the sack and with the stick at
tracted so much attention. that he is
slated by Dugdale for the Seattle
team in the Northwestern League.
Although Thompson will be a
student at Pullman, enrolling as a
freshman from the Spokane high
school, the state college will not
have the benefit of his services in
an athletic team, owing to his con-
nection with professional baseball.
Thompson would be a delight to any
college baseball team in the country,
and is a first class football player
as we'll.

RALPH RAIDER, ACTOR
Well Known Pullman Young Man
Gives up Foot Ball and Base
Ball For Stage

The Spokane Chronicle is respon-
sible for the statement that Ralph
RAIDER is going onto the stage in the
Orpheum circuit. The Chronicle
saws:
1.-TWO old-time athletes, both of
whom are perhaps as we'll known in
Spokane as they are in their home
towns, have chosen to take up the
life of thespians. They are R. NJ.
Zercher, former boxing and wrestl-
ing instructor at the Spokane Y NJ.
c. A, and Ralph NJ. RAIDER, last
years coach at Washington State
College and an all northwest foot
ball player.
''Zercher and RAIDER" is the name
of the team on the billboard. They
have joined the Orpheum circuit and
are now playing through California,
and may soon be seen in this city
They have a football sketch and
one which is making decided hit
at every appearance.
Both of these men are admirably
suited to such sketch, both being
big, husky individuals, whom one
might associate with the gndiron.
Zercher is an old-time football play
err, having played at Willamette Uni
versity some years ago, and RAIDER
is an all northwest star"

HARVEST
NEARS END
One OF the Best Crops Ever Harvest.
ed is Practically Saved, In
Good Condition

THIS week will end harvest opera
tions in the immediate vicinity of
pullman. Many threshers have pull
ed in for the close Of the season and
most of the combined machines are
done The harvest has been a good
one in every respect. The weather
has been ideal, and the grain has
been saved without injury from wet
weather. While thousands of bush
els of good wneat was lost by being
knocked down by the heavy rains of
July, the total amount saved breaks
all previous records in this lmmed-
late vicinity. The wheat Is OF ex-
cellent quality.
1t is believed that within a radius
Of 10 miles of Pullman winter wheat
has averaged 4 5 bushels to the acre,
while spring sown wheat, Of which
the acreage is small, has averaged
about 80 bushels. Oats have not
been more than an average crop, and
there is doubt about the yield in this
part of the Palouse country reaching
the average Of former years. Bar
ley was about an average crop, but
the acreage OF barley in this section
| is not large. Some of the winter
wheat went as high as rs bushels
per acre while yields OF more than
so bushels have not been uncommon.
That this crop will yield as large
profits as any crop ever harvested In
the Palouse country is generally be-
lieved. Prices are a little better
than last year, and considerably above
the average for the past five years,
and much above the average for the
past decade. Farmers are selling
slowly, preferring to hold for high
er prices which are expected later,
and there is no doubt that this re-
fusal to sell with rush has helped to
hold prices firm.
=. A. Stovall finished his harvest
Tuesday evening. He has been run
ming two combines, and with the
larger one has averaged 26 acres per
day. He had 500 acres of College
Hybrid wheat No. I43. which aver
aged a little more than 46 bushels
per acre. He is selling much OF this
for seed, having received orders from
all parts of the northwest and this
week he shipped carload to Day
ton for seed there.
Charles Kincaid, on the J s. KLEIN
gard farm, had 10,10O sacks from
! 500 measured acres, an average, by
weight, of about As bushels per acre,
after having suffered heavy loss
by grain falling down. Mr.. KLEIN
gard estimates that fully 5000 BUSH
els, or 10 bushels per acre, was lost.
He finished Tuesday evening, too.

CAME, SAW, REMAINED

DR.. |. N. Rogers, of Sprinfield, Mo-,
was pleasant caller at The Herald
Office this week DR.. Rogers is de-
lighted with this country and has
decided to remain here. He came
west some time ago and went to
Seattle, intending to locate there.
Recently he decided to visit the Pa
louse country and after seeing the
magnificent yields of wheat and the
fine farms, he was conquered. After
visiting all of the towns he picked
Pullman as the most desirable place
to live and sent for his family. He
has taken a house on College hill and
will become a permanent resident of
Pullman. He has four children whom
he desires to send to the schools of
Pullman. DR.. Rogers is a retired
physician and is merely seeking a
good town in which to make his home
and educate his children and picked
Pullman as the best place for this
that he had seen.
Il am so well pleased with this
country after looking over it and
seeing the fine crops, that | decided
