WEST POINT OPPORTUNITIES.
So Vast That It Is Surprising
Glasses Are Far Below Quota.

From the Chicago RecordHerald.
The course of instruction in the United
States Military Academy at West Point
provides an education Of which any young
man may feel proud. Few schools in
the world occupy sites which compare
with ii in beauty while the buildings
equipment and historical associations
stimulate enthusiasm and ambition. The
training of body and mind are both Of
the highest order. The young graduate
from West Point commands attention and
respect not enjoyed by those emerging
from colleges and universities. His serv-
ices are in demand. for he is known
to be strong physically and has been
taught how to do things, and do them
promptly.
1t is. therefore, surprising that the
West Point classes are below their full
quota. Not SO many years ago scores
of bright ambitious boys were bending
every energy to secure an appointment.
and the few successful ones were the
envy of hundreds. Evidently the diff
Guilty of securing the scholarship has in
these days been overestimated. or there
would now be long waiting list of a
few years ago. Each state is entitled to
but two scholarships each year. to which
are added forty from the country at

usually upon recommendation of SEN
ator or representative.
At the present time there are ninety
four vacancies which cannot be filed un-
der the present law These vacancies are
due partly to some states having failed
TO furnish their quota this year and
partly to students who have dropped out
for one reason or another. Col. Scott,
superintendent of the academy. has rec
commended to the House committee, which
is considering q bill to change present
conditions of admission. that where an
appointee fails to enter the man stand
ing second in the same examination for
entrance be appointed to the vacancy
thus caused. The recommendation is ex-
cellent and should be adopted.
A four years course of such training
as our government provides at West
Point, where not only all expenses are
paid. but the student is actually paid
money for his attendance. surely offers
attractions which. If once known. must
appeal to hundreds of our young men,
and awake the old-time interest and de-
sire to work for and secure an appoint
ment.

Clyde. the Deer SLAYER

Clyde E. Davis left town in the wet
hours of the morning Saturday and tool
his way up the Chumstick in search o
big game, as he had done many times
before. After spending the greater
part of the day tramping around in the
snow and thru the forest, he located q
herd Of three deer below him on the
hillside.
He was not in a position to shoot at
that time, but circled around and APP
preached the game from another direc-
ton. He succeeded in killing a young
buck and wounding a doe. He was
tired, excited, out Of breath, and his
shooting was uncertain. He decided
to rest awhile before firing the last one
Of twelve shells in his ammunition belt.
At last he took the final chance, win
or lose, and brought down the doe.
Making two trips, Davis dragged
both deer to the road. Waiting awhile,
a team came along with a party Of
hunters on the way to town with one
deer; but there was no room in the
buggy for Clyde-much less for his
bag. So the young man mounted one
Of the horses and came to town not
comfortably but too rapidly for sore
muscles and tired nerves.
After a rest, rundown and a feed,
Clyde and his father drove after the
game and at II p. m. reached home,
both men proud and happy.

REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL
A Short Session and Not Much Doing-The
Town Money Goes to ~leaVenworth
State Bank

When the council met in regular
session Monday night all the members
of the official family were present, ex'
cept Councilman Weigand.
After the transaction Of routine bust
ness, the first matter Of importance to
come up was the report OF the COM
mittee to interview the banks with re-
gard to paying interest on deposits oil
town money. The Tumwater Savings
Bank was willing to pay . per cent on
daily balances when the same amounted
to over $1,000, provided it was made
the sole depository Of town funds. The
Leavenworth State Bank agreed to pay
D per cent on daily balance OF $1,000
or more, and would accept a portion OF
all the town funds. The motion to
make the Leavenworth State Bank the
sole depository of town funds brought
out considerable discussion. Council
man Hartman thought the town funds
ought to be left with the Tumwater
bank, as they had always been, and
said the owners Of that bank had been
of great benefit to the town. He knew
what the town had been before the
Lamb Davis Lumber Company came
here, and what it had been since, and
thought it was entitled to considera-
ton. Councilman Carlquist retorted
that the Lamb-D Davis Lumber Company
did not come here to help the town,
but to help themselves, just as he and
others came here, and on that
were not entitled to favoritism. Mr..
Hartman said the mill company was in
a position to pinch the town, and for
one he was opposed to doing anything
to offend them. The vote resulted in
Councilmen Mccoy, Hathaway and
Carlquist yes, and Councilman Hart
man no.
Contractor Moon was granted per
mission to camplete repairs on the
Bartlett frame building.
The following officers of election to
preside yer the special and regular
elections, December 3 and 6, were
appointed: Inspector, J. D. Wheeler;
Judges, A. A. Pesch and Bert Guther-
less,
The clerk was instructed to have
building and repair permits printed.
The matter of putting additional
guards on the Moon bridge was left to
the Street and Alley committee.
Which committee was also instructed
tt investigate as to water conditions
west Of Central addition.
The following bills were allowed:
