At the north end of the hall is two large wooden swinging doors, which open to the elevator shaft. These doors MT.

Mr.. Frank o. Kreager, who Is
made assistant professor of English
and given charge of the debate work
is a young man too well known to
need Introduction. Mr. Kreager
made his own way through college
and graduated with honor. He has
been superintendent of schools at
Olympia for three years and did such
excellent work there that he has
made state reputation. His manual
training school and domestic science
work in the Olympia school was of
such a high order that both depart
ments were transported almost bodi-
ly to Seattle and installed in the
Alaska-Y a-Yukon-Pacific exposition,
where they will be maintained in
active operation during the entire
exposition and they are said to be
the best live exhibits at the big
exposition" the management of
which contributed $4,000 to secure
it, and Governor Hay gave $1,000 of
his private fortune to maintain the
exhibit. Pullman people will be glad
to welcome Mr.. Kreager back to Pull.
man as an instructor in the institu-
tion in which he was a prominent
student for many years.

LIGHTNING KILLS HORSES

Five horses out of six horse team
belonging to August Siler, were killed
at his ranch near Shawnee, Friday of
last week. The team was hitcheG to
harrow and were driven by Mr.
Siler's stepson when a storm came up
and the boy turned the horses heads
away from the rain and he took re-
fuge under the neck of one of tht
horses, using it's body to shield him
from the heavy downpOUr. A blind
ing fash of lightning killed five of
the six horses and a dog, and stunn-
ed the boy, w o was unconscious for
some time. When he recovered he
found himself lying on the ground
with the neck of the horse, which
had sheltered him, lying across his
legs. The horse and four othe hers of
the team were dead. only one horse
and the boy escaping with their lives.
The boy is thought to be not serious
ly injured but he has not fully re-
covered from the shock. The horses
killed were valued at about $1,000.
The sixth horse was uninjured. Such
an occurance is almost without pre-
cedent in this country, where injury
by lightning seldom occurs.

of Idaho, won the high jump. Pull
man got first in the 100, 220, half
mile, mile, two-mile. broad jump and
discus.
Hunting, of Idaho, made a bad
mistake that probably prevented his
getting second in the two-mile race
lie mistook the next to the last lap
for the last and sprinted, and had to
quit before finishing. He was run
ming strong when he began to sprint
at the straight-away. He had prac-
ticalY no chance to defeat COOL
but would likely have taken second
as he had good lead over the other
two Pullman men. Pullman finished
one, two, three in this event.
Bantz, who was expected to take
the discus throw, fell down The
event was won by a distance of 121
feet inches. Bantz has thrown the
discus 130 feet a number of times
in meets, but he did not even qualify
for the finals yesterday. The big
Washington athlete has been out of

Monday was pullman Day" at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition and
the college town was well represent
ed. a parade was made through the
business section of the town by the
cadets, carrying the monster flag
made by Mrs II. E. Mitchell, and
Pullman citizens and ex-citizens of
the town who now live in or near
Pullman. Will Nessly, who is there,
wrote: John Klemgard was busy
getting out the Pullman people and
pinning badges with the words Pull
for Pullman, Home of the Washing

everybody from Pullman, and asking
them to march in the parade" The

to remain in the college where he
has spent 6 of the best years of his
life and which he has done so much
to advance from a struggling school
of 33~students to magnificent col
lege With nearly 1900 young men
and women enrolled.
The board of regents has made a
number of important changes, each
recognition of merit. Professor
O. IHWaller has been made vice
president of the college at a salary
of $500 per year in addition to his
salary as professor. Frank o. Krea-
ger, a graduate of the college class
of 1906, has been elected assistant
professor of English and will have
charge of the debate work Pro-
fessor Fulmer has been made dean
of the faculty at a salary of $500
in addition to his salary as profess
sor of chemistry and the PROFESSIONAL
salary of Professors Fulmer and Wal
Ter has been raised from $4,000 to
$4,000, making their total salary
$500 per year, each. Professor
Fulmer's salary, had he accepted the
Minnesota offer, would have been
$2,SG0 for the first year, after which
it was to be advanced to $500.

COOL, Star of Meet

The star of the meet was COOL,
the distance runner. He won both
the mile and two-mile events, appar-
e,tly without effort. Had he been
pressed in the mile run he would
probably have beaten the Northwest
record. He made 4:32 3-5 as it was,
the record being one second faster.
In the two-mile run he finished
strOnG and made good time, I0:1G
2-5. COOL is small fellow, but he
has the wind and the legs and is a
credit to the Pullman team. There
is no runner in the northwest in the
same class with COOL as a mile and
twc-mile runner.
After the state college the teams
fir ieLcd in the following order: O.
y g.. Whitman, Idaho and Wash
ingtun. The University of Washing
ton did not have a full team entered,
only three men, Coyle, Bantz and
Brokaw, taking part These three
men managed to take five points,
Bantz getting third in the hammer,
Coyle third in the high hurdles, and
81 okaw second in the broad jump.
The state university closed two
weeks ago, which is earlier than
usual on account of the exposition
being held on the campus, and the
mem bers of the track team had to
go TO work and were scattered
throughout the state, going to their
homes. All the other institutions
are in session and had their regular
track teams in the contest.
While Whitman got third yester-
day and Washington last with It's
three men, Washington won the dual
meet with Whitman April "a by a
score of 80 to AZ. This shows about
how the full team would compare
with the fragment entered yesterday.

PULLMAN WAS BEATEN .
Boosters Lose First Game With Col
fax at County Seat Last Sun
day. Ball Notes

Pullman Booster we're beaten by a
score of 10 to 6 at Colfax Sunday
in the frst baseball game of the sea-
son played with the Colfax team.
The Pullman team was weakened by
the loss of Thorpe, Sanger and Bry-
an and new men occupied the places
of these three star players. The
new men failed to connect at critical
times. Colfax had her strongest
team in the field and only won by a
score of 10 to 6, with that advant-
age. Mondays Spokesman-Revlew
contained the following account of
the game:
COLFAX, Wash, June 13.-The
Colfax boys christened their new uni
forms today by defeating Pullman,
10 to G. The snappy work of the
Pullman intield, the hitting of Van
Doren of Pullman, who got a home
run, a two-bagger and a single in
-four times up and the base stealing
of the home boys were features.

Umpire, Pattison. A return game
will be played at Pullman next Sun
day.
Next Sundays game should be a
good one and it is up to the people
of Pullman to attend the game and
give the home team liberal send
off.
The Athletic Association lost
money on the Lewiston game and
if the people of Pullman do not take
enough interest in base ball to pa
tronize the game sufficiently to pay
expenses of visiting team they can
not expect long to retain the excel
lent team we now have.
The team has been offered it's ex-
penses to go to Chatcolet next Sun
day and play Colfax there, but the
boys are loyal to Pullman and re-
fused to accept the offer The Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation Company
offered Colfax and Pullman teams
their expenses to Chatcolet to play
a game there next Sunday and the
people of Pullman should see to it
that the team does not lose money on
next Sundays game
There is to be a base ball tourna-
ment at Elberton during the picnic
there. Pullman, Colfax, st. John
and Elberton teams are to play. The
winners get SIS and the losers 800
in the finals, in addition to their
expenses. These teams will play on
June % and 23. The winners of the
two first games are to play on the
tie In the finals on the 23rd.
