A WILD RUNAWAY
Mrs. Charles Kellogg Has Thrilling
Ride Behind Frightened Horse
i'm Pullman

Wednesday morning Mrs. Charles
Kellogg had thrilling ride and mar
rowly escaped serious injury and per-
haps, death. Mrs. Kellogg had hitch
ed up the family driving horse, which
she had driven for years and which
was always considered safe, and
started down town. The horse be-
gan running and kicking just as
she drove through the gate and came
down the hill on west Main street
at terrific pace. Mrs. Kellogg held
bravely to the lines with one hand
and with the other she held to the
seat. The plucky woman hung On,
although not strong enough to even
slackep the speed of the runaway
horse.
At the Corner Drug Store the horse
ran upon the sidewalk and slipped
and fell to his knees, skinning and
bruising them badly, but he only
Stacked up a little and was almost in
stantly on his feet and running again
as hard as he could. He ran around
the block and was finally stopped on
Main street. When he fell the har
ness was broken and when the horse
was finally stopped he was almost
out of the shafts, but one tug still
held and he was dragging the buggy
by that. Mrs. Kellogg was uninjured
and the only damage was the broken
harness and the injured knees of the
horse, but the escape from serious in
Jury seems almost miraculous.

FOR RESERVATION LANDS
Big Rush of Palouse Country People
to Register For Drawings in
August

Deep interest is being taken in
Pullman and throughout the Inland
Empire in the opening of the Spo-
kane, Occur d'Alene and Flathead
Indian reservations for white settle
ment. Many people from Pullman
went to Spokane and Occur d'Alene
to register and a few went to Mis-
soula, Montana. The Caeur d'Alene
reservation seems to be the fayorite
and those acquainted with the situa-
ton esti mate that 10000 persons
will register there; 100000 for the
Spokane; and $4,000 for the Flat
head. As the latter is much the
larger reservation of the three, and
has more than twice as much land
as both the others, 1t stands to rea-
son that the person registering there
stands a much better show than those
registering for the drawing in either
of the other reservations.
The registration began yesterday at
Spokane, Occur d'Alene, Missoula
and Kalispel, Montana, the two lat
ter places being registration points
for the FIathead reservation. The
north bound trains on the Northern
Pacific were jamm ed with passen gers
when the train left Pullman. They
were filled uncomfortably full when
they reached Pullman and a large
crowd got on here. When the IL
o'clock train left Pullman every seat
vas taken and the aisles were pack
ed with people so 1t was impossible
to walk through them, while the
platforms were also loaded. What the
condition OF the train would be when
ii reached Spokane, with half dozen
more stations from which people
would get on, can be imagined.
Many Pullman people went to Spo-
kane several days ago in order to
be on hand early. Scores OF others
will go later. II is safe to say that
people will be going from the Pa
louse country every day until the
closes on August 5.

as much as last year, and that asti-
mate is regarded as entirely conserva-
i've. Others place it higher. while
some estimate it as high as five times
the greatest previous profit the Pa
iouse country has ever produced.
While these figures seem >tartling
at first glance, it is well within rea-
son to make such predictions. The
cost of raising an acre of wheat WELD
ing 40 to so bushels is not one bit
greater than to raise an acre of wheat
yielding 5 bushel, and the only in
crease in the cost of harvesting is
the additional sacks and the thresh-
ing bill. Thus while Is bushels per
acre might mean an actual loss. 40
bushels might mean an enormous
profit. If the lower yield represent
ed actual cost of production and
marketing, the greater yield might
mean 100 times the profit or even a
thousand times the profit of the light
er yield. All previous records for
prices and profits will be broken in
the immediate vicinity of Pullman
this year.

farmers are growing corn and con-
verting it into ensilage as a milk

increase in corn acreage this year
will average so per cent. That it is
recognized as a coming industry is
shown by the fact that implement

RECORD PRICE FOR HOGS

For the first time in the history of
Pullman, dealers are Offering eight
cents per pound, live weight, for fat
hogs. The demand is far in excess

TOO MANY COOKS
SAYS ALDERMAN
Biertuempfel Declares Regula-
ton, Not Investigation, Is
Needed in Coal Matter.

Regulation, not investigation, is what
Alderman Albert II. Biertuempfel con
tends is needed to set matters right in
the purchasing of coal for the use OF
the municipal power plant. The Alder
man issued a statement yesterday, in
which he declared that instead of the
blame being attached to the employees
for the enormous amount of coal used
the fault lay with the politicians, who
did not give proper authority to an ex-
ecutive head, but allowed each of the
employees to think that they were on
an equal footing with their superiors.
He declares that he has found that the
grade Of coal delivered has, in many
cases, been below standard.
What were the reasons for all these
existing conditioner" he asks, referring
to the mou of coal used with SO little
result. 1.-THE men (e~mpioyees) were
wrangling between themselves; every
one thought he was as good as another
and would take no orders. | found a
man who held the position of fireman,
but who was rot even a fireman, and
would not take orders from a certain
person in charge because he was safe
in being backed by some one. What
else have we found? Men who were
not attending to their duty and who
were suspended. only to be promptly
put back to work by some of the com
mitteemen.

sponsibie, keep him responsible, giving
