KNIGHTS TO CONSIDER
BUILDING OF NEW HALL

The proposition of erecting a building as
the home Of the three local lodges of the
Knights of Pythias will be discussed at
mass meeting of local knights at Castle
hall Monday night.
At this mass meeting ways and means
will probably be devised for the erection
of the new hall. It is said that the build
ing bee has been buzzing quite generally
among the local knights recently and the
proposition will undoubtedly meet with
favor.
Rocky Mountain Lodge No g. knights
of Pythias, held their regular meeting last
night and a class of 20 members was in
itiated into the page rank. This lodge de-
cided to order new uniforms for the guard
team,

HIGH DYING
SUPERCEDES
HIGH LIVING

It's not the high price of living that
is worrying the city fathers just now.
On the other hand, it's the high price
of dying. Announcement was made
this week that the draymen of Wal
la Walla had entered into an agree
ment by which the cost of transferring
dead horses to the dumb brute ceme-
terry has been increased from SIS to
$3.50, and ways and means are now
being considered Nto place this work
under the supervision of Street Com
missioner II. H. Champion.
Occasionally the officials are noti-
fled that some raw-boned equine has
been turned upon the world at large,
and later succumbs to the privation
and hardships experienced. The own
er cannot be located, as no one wants
to claim a dead horse. In those cases,
it is up to the city to see that the
carcass is given proper interment. and
in the past the dray men have been
given charge of the work. for which

PARIS, Feb. 9.-The only official
statement of what the French govern

the floods at Paris and throughout
France was given to the United Press

flood sufferers and then gave out the
following official announcement:
.'The government proposes to re-
compense, as far as possible, the wage
losses to workmen and also to re-

from America and the $4,000 900 asked
from the chamber of deputies will be

REPORT

ACTION
Delegate Crawford Tells of
Work of Conference
At Portland.
STUDENT BODY IN
REGULAR MEETING
Two Amendments Offered
To Constitution of the
Organization.

With the benches in the college cha
pei filled with interested college stu
dents, with the balcony occupied by
members of Pearsons Academy, the
regular mid winter meeting of the AS
sociated Students of Whitman college
was held this morning Immediately
after the regular chapel services. The
meeting was short but much impor-
tant business was gone through by
the students. The reports of the stu
dents managers of last semester were
heard. On account of second meet
held one week from today the out
line of the spring activities as an
nounced by the captains and managers
will be deferred until that time
The principal matters coming up
this morning We're the reports of
Lloyd r. HaWley TO- manager of the
1909 football team, of Harold CraW-
body at the Big Six conference held
recently in Portland and the report
I of Ralph Mathews 10. who managed
The Straightaway." In addition, two
amendments to the constitution We're
introduced which affect the varsity
athletic emblems for track and base
ball men The track question was
brought up by Captain Foster r. and
the baseball question was raised by
Howard Shubert 10, varsity captain.
Crawford's report was the first in
the order of business. He brought
up the principal matters which came
before the delegates at Portland. They
were as follows:
Cd The admittance of Whitworth
college into the conference. Last year
Whitworth was offered admission but
turned down the offer. This year
Whitworth asked for admission but
the petition was not granted. The de-
legateS from Whitman. University OF
Idaho, Oregon Agricultural college,
and Washington State college voted in
favor of the plan. The votes or the
University of Oregon and also the
University of Washington were SUI
ficient to keep the Tacoma college out.
A resolution was passed however TO
allow Whitworth to enter conference
contests under conference rules, and
be on probation for year. Ii at the

endeaVor to continue the good work
and when final figures have been an
nounced, it is confidently expected the
fund of last year will be considerably
increased. 1t is said the work of the
past u months has been carried on
with a fund of $4,000, and it has been
announced by several of the leading
business men that their subscriptions
would be doubled in 1910. On this
basis, the directors set $4,000 as the
limit, although it is admitted this
amount is far in excess of the sum
actually needed to perpetuate the pub
licity movement for another year, and
bring desired results.
Harry H. Trner, J. NJ. Crawford
George E. Kellogh, Oscar Drumhelle1
and F. w Kaser composed one set OF
business men, caring for that portion
of the city below Second street. while

members of the directors are working
