Speak-Many Veterans
Coming.

The Fifteenth Annual Encamp-
ment of the Old Soldiers Association

accommodation of the veterans and
everything arranged to insure their
comfort.
These encampments have always
proved popular and enjoyable and
have attracted many people to Pull

besides giving the city some valuable
advertising. Last year about 90
veterans registered
special effort will be put forth
this year to make the encampment a
record breaker in point of attendance
and excellence of the program. A
number of prominent speakers have
been invited, among them Governor
Hay of this state and Ex-Governor
Mcconnell of Idaho Excellent music
will be furnished and every CT tizen
of Pullman is expected to assist in
making the occasion a pleasant one
for the old soldiers.
There will be the usual program of
music, speaking and camp fires with
few other features thrown in for
good measure. Pullman always en-
joys entertaining the veterans, and
is proud to have them as guests and
it is safe to say that every one who
attends the encampment this year
will enjoy every moment of the time.

Slow but Sure

The appearance of "a diminutive,
old-fashioned and badly battered
prairie schooner, drawn by one UNI
dersized burrO and driven by a griz-
zled old prOspector, on the streets
Thursday afternoon attracted large
crowds of curious onlookers. When
the queer outfit had almost passed
through the street "Bobbie Burn"
put in an appearance with his trusty
camera and induced the driver to
stop long enough to have himself
and his possessions photographed.
The obliging prospector proved an
apt conyersationalist and after pos
ing for couple Of photographs, an
swered the questions OF the curious
crow !. The mans name is Henry
liameyea, and he is on his way to
Soap Lake, Wash, where he hopes
to be cured of rheumatism, which
for many years has troubled him,
He stated that in his younger days
he was a tailor, and could handle
the needle and shears as we'll as the
best of them, but that his affliction
had made impossible the following
of his trade and he had moved from
place to place in the mountains in
quest of buried treasure.

Pullman 13. Rosalia 4.

Sundays game with Rosalia was
a rather tame affair, the Rosalia
team not playing up to the standard
of their former game in this city.
Dirstine pitched the first inning for
Pullman, and Rosalia scored three
runs on a single, three-bagger, and
four stolen bases. Sanger pitched
the remaining eight innings, and two
dinky hits with one score was the
best the visitors could do. Glaisyer
got a split thumb in the fourth and
Thorpe was called in from left field
to catch. The old veteran proved
equal to the occasion and caught as
pretty a game as has been seen in
Pullman this year.
