TO GROW STOCK
IN ALBERTA
Neil Stewart and Frank Gustaf-
son Locate Homesteads and
Will Raise Cattle

Neil Stewart and Frank Gustaf-
son returned last Friday from a
three weeks trip to the Alberta
country. They thought so we'll of the
northern country that they each fill
ed on a homestead and a presumption
claim, and will return there to make
their homes.
The gentlemen were most pleased
with the Red Deer district, about
$50 miles northwest of Calgary,
where they selected their home
steads, and where they will engage
in the stock business. Mr.. Stewart
who is an old time stockman, thinks
the Alberta country possesses many
advantages and has a brilliant flu
ture for the production of stock, es-
pecially of beef cattle, and he and
Mr.. Gustafson will engage quite ex-
tensiyely in that branch of the in
dustry They tell of a pair Of beef
steers, driven in off the range, that
as three-year-olds, weighed 2G40 and
2670 each, and now, as four-year-
olds, weigh nearly 1000 each. One
of these steers that Mr.. Stewart
measured had a girth of nine feet
Wild hay is cut from the prairies,
although the cattle run on the range
all winter, and come through in good
condition.
Both Mr.. Gustafson and Mr. Ste

TEN ACRES ENOUGH?

The board of regents of the
State College proposes to find out
the exact truth in the oft repeat
ed staten ent that ten acres of Pa
louise soil, when cultivated in an
intensive way and according to
modern methods, can be made TO
produce a good living, with all
necessities and many of the luXu-
ries, for an average family.
For the purpose of an expert
ment along this line ten acres of
that part of the college farm,
known as the Irwin place, includ-
ing the house and barn. has been
set apart as a small farm unit,
to be under the direction and man
agement of the Horticultural de-
partment and to be used as de-
monstration farm to show the
adaptability of the Palouse coun-
try to the small fruits and other
similar products in an intensive
way.

The people of Pullman will be
counted by John Melvin, who was
appointed to the position after
competitive examination held during
the winter.

work today, and must complete the

you will be called upon to lay bare
your innermost secrets to your Uncle
Samuel But you are safe in telling
the truth this time regardless of
what you may have said when the
assessor called upon you the other
day, for what you say will not be
used in any way. Even the ladies are
expected to tell without hesitation
just how many winters they have
passed through, for MIR. Melvin will
be too busy to figure out ages by the
number and position of teeth.

HOW MANY PEOPLE IN PULLMAN?
Uncle Sam Will Commence Counting
Noses In United States Today.
a.t Count Taken in 1905, Gave Artesian City Popu-
laton of 1884
How many people will Uncle Sam

How many people will Uncle Sam
find in Pullman? -
That question occasions a good
deal of interest for it is known that
the city has made great gains since
the previous taking of the general
census, but guesses as to the num-
her who now claim domicile in Pull
man varies greatly, two men differ
ing as far as a thousand in their es-
Inmates.
The first time that this city ap-
reared upon the map of the census
taker was in 1890, there having been
no Pullman in 1880, the date of the
previous census taking, three forks
then occupying this part of the uni
verse.
Pullman's Population in 1890.
In 1890 the enumerator found
S6S population within the corporate
limits of Pullman. Ten years later
this number had grown to 1903, but
five years later, when the deputy
assessors counted noses, 1854 men,
women and children claimed this
city as home, an increase in the
five years of between SO and 80
per cent. A like rate of increase in
the five years last past would ac-
count for between 1000 and 5000
people now in the Artesian City.
ColfaX Metropolis Five Years Ago.
Five years ago Pullman was the
second largest city in the county,
ColfaX leading with 2S75, or PSI
more than this city could account
for. In 1900 Colfax led Pullman by
S13. This race between the two prin-
cipal towns of the county for SUI
premacy of numbers will add inter
est to the count, for which ever
wins, she is sure to have the lead
only "by a nose" or few noses
at most.
Growth of County and State.
Whitman county showed a popula-
ton of 1901 in 1890 this num-
Der being increased to 1880 ten
years later, while in 1905, the popu-
lation was 31,375.
The first general census in which
the then territory of Washington
figured was in 1860, when 1884
white people were contending with
the red aborigines for territory. In
1870 the population was 23,955, and
in 1880, 25,116. 1t was in the later
SOS that the population grew by
leaps and bounds, the state at end
of the last decade having 349,390
people, per cent increase of 1851.

COLLEGE REGENTS IN SESSION
Regent McCroskey Elected President of

The them" referred to appears to

terested in sport, who it is said after
wards put up $50 for Deanor and

board was that the coach elect was
urging Deanor not to be too easy on
these men, but to hold them up"
and make them rattle ,..eir Junk"
keinholz's explanation that by this
he meant that he would insist upon
Deanor getting a good position where
he could earn his room and board,
was not satisfactory to the regents.

KcinhoIz Released from Duty.
The board took up the case of
Coach Keinholz, which has attra ted
so much attention from the public
press of late, and found that while
the evidence was not sufficient to
convict the coach Of offering money
to Deanor and Miner to play on the
football team last fall that the lar
guage used in three letters written
by Keinholz to Deanor was coarse
and was suggestive of corrupt in
fluences to induce Deanor to return
to play football, and was unbecomjns

that on account of these letters Mr..
Keinholz would be relieved from any
further duties or responsibilities in
connection with the athletic teams or
college classes, Mr., Kleinholz will
as matter of course receive the an
nual salary for which he was en-
gagged. Four phrases in Keinholz's
letters to DeanOr that were regarded
as particularly significant, and which
were EN- bodied in the faculty report,

Davis outlined in some detail his plans
for enlarged water mains and general
improvements to the water distribution
system in Washington Ward, includ-
ing main across James River at the

Will give an ample supply of water for
years to come, and afford abundant
protection in case of fire Later when
the new Mayo Bridge is completed 1t is
proposed to take q twelve-inch
main across. connecting from the Cary
Street main, to give additional rre
protection to the large manufacturing
area In the lower part of South Rich
mond near the south end of the bridge,
and to give the added protection OF Il

Estimates OF the cost of the Spro-
posed improvements will be drawn up
and presented to the Committee on FL
