Ivan Putnam Strong Candidate.

When The Herald mentioned the
name of j. Ivan Putnam for the re-
publican domination for county audi
tor, it started boom for that popu-
lar young man, which promises to
land him in TIE auditors office The
mere mention of his name was en-
ough to awaken interest among his
hundreds Of friends and admirers. A
well known man, who has known
Ivan since he was a little boy, said
II he enters the race he will be
elected. There is not a man in the
county who can defeat him. No other
man will have a show. | can think
of no more thoroughly competent
man, nor one more popular where
known.
4 prominent citizen of Pullman,
in speaking of Ivan as candidate,
said: Il VII be delighted to support
him. l have known him many years
and know his good qualities. Why,
when he was mere boy, not more
than 10 years old, viii Duncan (now
county auditor) was running Bragg's
store here and he went away and left
kask in charge of the store There
were older men in the store, but
Ivan was chosen because he was
known to be absolutely reliable, and
ed the position with entire sat
isfaction. Mr. Duncan spoke of his
work in the highest terms. If that
much trust could be put in him when
he was only Is, how much trust can
be placed in him now, after he has
had years of training in college and
in business of various kinds?"
Pullman is entitled to the county
auditor and The Herald can think of
no one more competent or deseryedly
popular than J. Ivan Putnam, and if
he can run for office as fast as he
can in "hurdling'' or be as successful
as he has always been in every trust
imposed upon him, this county is des-
tined to have an auditor of whom all
may feel proud. Ian's many friends
in Pullman should begin at once
to talk and work for him, and if they
do he will sweep Whitman county
and be nominated and elected by a
big majority and in his administra-
tion Of the office will reflect credit
upon the town, the college and his
friends.

Military Ball Grand Affair.

Military Ball Grand Affair.
The annual military ball, given
Tuesday night, Feb. %, eoualed all
its predecessors in grandeur and
beauty. A large shipment OF aags.
received from F. o. Berg Co: Of spo-
kane were used in connection y, ith
the big flag. and those of foreign
nations, in artlstically decorating the
armory.
The big flag which was made last
year by Mrs. Capt. Mitchell consti-
tuted the center of the flag scheme
1t hung in beautiful waves across
the ceiling. Running from the edges
of the big flag, down into and along
the edges of the balcony. were the
decorations consisting wholly of
flags, penants and Nayajoes. Each
of the eight companies, the band and
the bugle corps decorated a section
of the gallery, and the schemes they
worked out were certainly pleasing.
The decorations were so arranged
that no part of the gymnasium was
visible from the main floor.
At one end of the gym, the college
seal was worked up in the college
colors and lighted by thirteen cleo
trio lights This was surrounded by
an immense rosette of foreign flags.
Over this appeared the regimental
flag with large silk American flag
as background.
AT 8 o'clock the band began by
giving a short concert. At S:45 the
grand march began, led by Lieuten-
ant Smith of Moscow, Idaho, and
Mrs. Captain Mitchell. In the receiv-
ing line were Colonel Dawson, Mrs.
Capt Mitchell, Lieut.. Smith, Mrs.
Prof. Strong, Colonel Sapp, Mrs. &
A. Barry.

spokane's saloon-controlled city

Spokanes saloon-controlled city
council again ousted Carl w. Tourke,
he beF police commissioner Spokane
has ever had. Tourke's offense, which
brought upon him the enmity of the
saloon men. was his refusal to APP
poiTe the notorious "Chet" Edwards
a police captain, and to allow the sa-
looms to violate the screen and other
laws passed by the last legislature
in short, he refused to be controlled
by the saloons. He was once before
but Mayor Pratt, who has shown him
self one of the strongest, best and
most fearless mayors Spokane has
ever had, reappointed him and he has
held office many months. During
that time he has done a wonderful
work in making Spokane's police
force more efficient and in fighting
graft and petty politics with which
the city has been ridden for years
it cannot take from him the respect
of the honest, decent people, nor can
it do more than stave off for a few
months the righteous Indignation of
the decent people of that prosperous
city, which will, eventually triumph
and make Spokane a clean town.

i. ..Ry United Press Wire.


Washington, Nov. 2S-The enor-
nous task of handling grain from
the Canadian West at the head of
the Lakes, through Fort William
and Port Arthur is described in a
report by Consul A. G. Soyfert Of
owen Sound Ontario, in which he
says:
From September 1, 1909 to August
81, 1910, S900O,OOO bushels of grain
passed. through these ports, the pre-
ceding year 65,OOO,0OO bushels, and
the year before 47,000,000.
1.-THE combination harbor has 1e
grain elevators with n storage ca
pacity of 3OOOO.0OO bushels. The A.
100000 bushels one belonging to the
Grand Trunk Pacific is the largest in
the world, and the unit of ten which
that railroad is building. The Cana
dian Pacific has five, the largest
holding 100000 bushels. The Cana
dian Northern has two, each with
$4,000 capacity.
1T is hard to realize what II
meant. to bring this enormous traffic
OF grain to the elevators for trans
shipment by boat Allowing 1000
bushels to the car. S9,OOO,O0O bushels
would fill $4,000 cars, or 1900 trains

40 of the Great Lake frelghters are
alongside the elevators with grain
pouring into the vessels holes.
"The Canadian Government takes
an important part in handling the
grain at this transshipping port An
act of Parliament provides for the
grading of the grain, and government
inspectors pass on every carload in
the assembling yard before II goes
to the elevator for unloading. The
grain has already passed one in
spection at the starting point, and the
second inspection at the elevator ter
minal is performed to confirm the
western grading. The inspectors are
on hand again when the grain is
shipping out. They watch the weigh

is called for. Every boat that
