THE CHARGES ARE DENIED
Football Boys Indignant Over False
Reports Published in Spokane
and Pullman

Much Indignation is expressed by
football men and business men of
Pullman because of the false reports
published concerning the football
men of Washington State College
The Spokane Chronicle and a Pull
man paper published statements to
the effect that Deaner and Miner had
both been disciplined by Coach
kienholz and narrowly escaped be-
ing forbidden to play in the football
game with Puget Sound University
Bill Miner when seen by The Her
aid reporter, was justly indignant
over the story and said:
THE story is an absolute lie and
was published for the purpose of in
juring Deaner and myself and the
entire college football team. Such
reports are injurious and unjust. The
inference was given out that we had
been drinking and that will be read
at other places and it will injure US
in the future. Here in Pullman peo-
pie know it is not true, but the re-
port will grow as it travels and when
Deaner or | apply for work at some
place where We are not so we'll
known as here we will be confronted
with this charge. They will think,
If they do not say it this is one of
the fellows that was disciplined for
drinking at the State College at Pull
man. | guess / don't want him
regret that such unjust charges
should be given publicity and am de-
termined to find out who is guilty
and try to get even with the party
who started the raDort as we'll as
those who published it,
A prominent business man and a
close friend of the football men said ::
Il was surprised at the Pullman pap
er publishing this story 1t would
have been easy to ascertain the falls
ity of it and even if it had been
true, which it was not, it would have
been much better to have suppress
ed it than to have given it publicity
The report published in the Spokane
Chronicle cannot help but work in
jury to the school and to the football
team"

SENATOR LA TOILETTE HERE
Noted Reformer Who is Making Life
BurdensOme For COrruptionists
in Pullman

Senator Robert l., La Toilette, of
Wisconsin, one of the greatest men of
the present day, lectured in the au-
ditorium of Washington State Col
lege last night to fair sized audi
ence which included a number of
visi tors from other towns Senator
La Toilette is known as an "Insur-
gent" in congress and has always re-
fused to bow the knee to the cor
rupt gang which controls the affairs
of this nation. He has fought Can
non, Aldrich and all of the trust lead
ers in the house and senate and he is
probably feared and hated worse by
the corruptionists than any man in
politics today.
Senator La Toilette is a pleasing
speaker, always forceful and enter
tanning and he has the happy faculty
of carrying conviction home to his
audience and making them see things
as he sees them. He was given a
royal reception in Pullman where he
is greatly admired, and where eff
forts are being made to start La
Toilette club to boom him for presi-
dent In 1912.
While in Pullman Senator La Fol-
lette was entertained at the home
of his cousin, Hon. w. L. La Toilette,
one of our most prominent and high
ly respected citizens.

APPLES ARE GOOD KEEPERS

w. V. Windus received card this
week from |. B. Harris, who had
charge of the Whitman county ex-
hibit at the Alaska-Yukon-Pa ex-
position in which high com pliment
is paid to the keeping qualities of
apples grown by Mr. Windus on his
tract adjoining the State College
farm. Mr.. Harris wrote: 81 open
ed box of Jonathan apples received
from you on September 20, and
there was not bad apple IN the box.
They are certainly the best keep
ers ever seen here" These apples
were grown last year and it has been
nearly year since they were taken
from the trees.
/ Mr.. Windus has 80 acres Of young
orchard adjoining the College farm
on the south and the city limits on
the east, and this will be worth a
snug fortune in a few years. He
raises Jonathan, Gano, Rome Beauty
apples The trees are young but are
beginning to bear and next year he
hopes to have several carloads OF
apples for export.

ANOTHER ARTESIAN WE'LL
New Flow of Water Struck, Making
Fifteen Flowing Wells Now
il in Pullman

4 Yesterday the Pullman Bottling
works Company struck a flow of
artesian water in the we'll it has
been drilling for the past two weeks
on the site of its new building, cor
ner of Alder and Paradise streets.
The water was struck at a depth of
IA feet and flows freely from the
top of the pipe. The well is six
inches in diameter and was drilled
TO a depth of 50 feet.
1t is a strange coincident that this
the last well drilled in Pullman, is on
the site of the Old Palace Hotel
which stood where the bottling works
building will be erected, when the
first artesian we'll in Pullman was
struck. Pop" True. proprietor of
the Old Palace Hotel, had planned
to move the building onto Main
street and was drilling we'll on the
proposed new site. On the evening
of June "a, 1889 water began pour
ing out of the top of the casing and
has never ceased. Pullman went wild
over its prospects. Artesian water
became the slogan and every one
wanted an artesian well. Drills were
put to work and wells drilled in all
parts of the town. Prior to the new
well opened yesterday there were IA
flowing arteSian wells in Pullman and
this makes Is, a record no town in
the west can equal. 1t seems strange
that the flow has never been weak
ened by additional wells, but the
first we'll drilled flows just as strong
today as it did the day the drill was
taken out and the well pronounced
finished.

In 1907. Let's Make it Larger Nov S, 1909
WHEAT Is GOING EAST
Pullman Dealers Shipping Wheat to
Kansas City, Minneapolis and
Chicago

For the first time in a long while
Washington wheat is going east.
Local dealers are making shipments
to Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis
and Chicago, and the price Of Red
Russian wheat is stronger in CON
sequence. L. w. Robinson and M.
IL. Hcuser have each made several
shipments to the eastern markets
and the prediction is made that a
large per cent. of the wheat now on
hand will be taken by the eastern
markets.
Just how this can be done Is a
mystery. 1t shows that some one Is
getting better prices than are being
made. Chicago quotations yesterday
were $l.04 SIS for top prices during
the day. The freight rate is 80 cents
per bushel, yet buyers paid II ga
cents for Red Russian, the lowest
priced wheat offered on the markets
of the west, to be shipped to the
markets of the middle west If the
regular freight rate Is paid this
would place the cost of this wheat
on the cars at the eastern points to
which it is shipped, $107 IA or
more than three cents above Chi
cago's highest quotations. 1t Is be-
west are getting short of wheat and
are paying several cents above mar
ket prices in order to secure it. The
outlook, from the standpoint of the
farmer, is encouraging.

quaint though obvious. The transla-

State Highways.

The scheme for building two great
state highways the entire length of
Vermont one on each side of the
mountains, received scant favor in the
legislature. Nevertheless, we will
never have good roads nor see the full
development of our state until some
such plan is carried out.
They have the correct idea in New
Hampshire. Three roads extending
he length of the state are already
under construction, and the work is
TO be pushed to completion. In the
report OF the governor and council as
agents in charge of the expenditure
OF the money for state and for high
ways, the construction of three trunk
lines for permanent highways is spec
itically recommended the completion
ana extension of the Merrimack Val
ley road upon which much work has
already been done, to Crawford
notch; another from the Massachus
etts state line through the easterly
part of the state to meet the middle
road at Crawford notch, and the third
from the state line up the westerly
part of the state through the Con
necticut valley. The annual appro-
priation for these roads in now SIPS
goo, but because of the recommends
lion, it is urged that 1t be increased to
100000.
1t appears that in two years, about
80 miles of the Merrimack road has
been completed, little more than
one-half of which has been given a
crushed stone surface and the re-
nainder gravel surface. To the cost
the towns and cities have contribut-
ed Si156293, which with the amount
furnished by the state, met the cost
Of Sl2l,903.36. During the four years
that the department has been estab
lished, there has been improved un
der the supervision of the state high
way engineer from the Joint fund
provided by state and towns about
24O miles of road. besides many per
manent culyerts and underdrains and
he removal Of lodges and other OBJ.
structions OF this improved road
about % miles are macadam. very.
ing in cost from $4,000 to $500 per
mile, and about lS5 miles are of
gravel varying in cost from $500 TO
$4,000 per mile The course as to the
state roads is thus set forth. 1T has
been our policy, and we have strictly
adhered TO the same, to keep in as
good condition as possible the prin-
cipal and much used state roads. and
to do as much as we have considered
we were justified in doing on less i'm.
portant roads In reference to the
Joint fund policy, it is said: "Appro-
priations for state aid to towns max
ing application therefor have been in
accordance with the requirements of
the law. We have made every effort
and in most cases have been success
full, in searching the concurrence of
selectmen in the choice OF continu.
Gus main thoroughfares for improve
ment."
Surely this points the way for Yer
mont, Indeed, we ought to have
learned long before this, that roads
cannot be built with talk. The work
requires solid cash.-Burlington
