Tells of Snow in Alberta

August Seller returned last Saturday
from Alberta, where be had been to look
after his landed interests, he owning a
section of rich land 33 miles from CAL
gary. Mr.. Seller states that big crops
are the rule in that section this year, he
noting several instances of oats going
10 bushels to the acre. Weather con
ditiOns, however, we're not favorable,
snow falling last week to the depth of
six inches in places, it little more than
covering the ground at Calgary. Land
values have advanced greatly in the last
few years, it being $50, $40 and upwards
in favored localities. Land may be had
for 80 an acre distant from railroads,
but cheap lands, as understood in the
past, is thing of the past.

loaded with lumber, shingles and build

town in all directions the impression is
uppermost that many improvements are

Wagon load after wagon load is seen

learned that some are erecting new man

A SUCCESSFUL SALE

The big sale of personal property
at the farm of Henry Young Thurs
day, was one of the best ever held
in the Palouse country, the total be-
ing about $4,000, of which a large
portion was paid in cash. There was
a good attendance, and almost every
one was there for business. The bid
ding was lively and spirited. Every
thing seemed to be in demand.
Horses brought record prices, more
than 20 head bringing over $200
leach, and one brought $3.50, while
others ranged from $500 to $3.50.
But few of the Oldest and poorest
horses sold under 500 each and they
went from that to the highest price
mentioned above. One span of two
%ear-old fillies sold Cor $410. There
were nearly so head of horses and
colts and all brought high prices.
One COW sold for $81 and the
Others ranged from $40 up. The
hogs brought high prices. J. S.
Klemgard got about 80 head of fine
shoats at $1O.S0 each. Taking it all
through it was one of the best sales
ever held in this county. 1t was ad-
wertised exclusively by sale bills
printed at the Herald office, and by
reading notices in The Herald and
the Pacific Farmers Union.

"FRESHIES" WIN FIGHT
1 Aoungest Class in Washington State
College First to Get Numerals
ON New Stack

The freshman class has won a
victory and has its numerals "13"
| Doldly displayed from the top of the
stack of the heat, light and power
plant, where they bid defiance and
stand as a dare to the other classes.
Ihls was not accomplished with
out severe fight, in which several
OF the participants carried away
scars of battle, and the sophomores
We're completely routed foot and
morse and many of that class were
tied hand and foot and compelled to
lie in the shadows of the trees and
watch the victorious "freshies" com
plete their task Then, to make it
more humiliating, a kodak was Sc
cured and the pictures of the sopbo-
mores who were hog tied" and uiIed
IN heaps, was taken. Another pict-
ure shows the big tin sign with the
flgures "l3" displayed from the very
top of the new smoke stack. These
post cards are on sale at the Corner
Drug Store and at Thorpe's Smoke
House, and hundreds of them are be-
ing sold and sent to friends at home
and elsewhere.
The 'freshies" had planned things
well. A wagon load of lumber for
a scaffold had been bought with or
ders to be delivered at 2 O'Clock Tues
day morning, when a large bunch of
freshmen met the wagon, quickly un-
loaded it and began the erection of
a scaffold to the top of the chimney.
Daylight overlook them and the,
sOphomores came upon the scene
with the intention of stopping the
work They stopped it for a while.
but only long enough for the husky
freshmen to tie up the sophomores
and carry them to one side, where
they lay under guard while the work
was continued
Vice-President Waller appeared
and stopped hostilities. He gave the
freshmen permission to put tin
sign on the smoke stack, but forbade
them painting anything upon it. This
was all the freshmen wanted A
large tin sign was quickly prepared
and A K. Moody, who is regular
steeple jack, climbed up inside the
smoke stack and hung the sign on
the side next to the college build
ings, where it can be seen from al
most any point on the campus.
The freshmen guarded the smoke
stack until the fires were started in
Ahe furnaces and there will be no
chance for any one to climb up in
side the smoke stack and remove
the sign The freshmen feel that the
defeat of last week, when a number
of them were tied up and photograph
ed, has been completely wiped out
and the youngest class is the victor
up to date.
