OF political uncertainty. It was impossi-

symptoms Of political unrest and political

but the pretense could not be Kept up:

Peaches Raised in Pullman.

Thomas w. Savage, pioneer
farmer of this city, and a firm be-
lever in the possibilities and advan-
tages of Pullman and the Palouse
country, this week brought to The
Herald Office a basket of late Craw-
ford peaches, which he raised on his
farm, two miles west of Pullman.
The fruit was we'll colored, large and
Of excellent flavor, and was grown
without irrigation.
While it has long been known that
almost anything in the line of fruits,
vegetables, grains and grasses could
be raised successfully in Pullman,
peaches have found place on the
very limited unsuccessful" list, and
il remained for Mr. Savage to prove
that they can be raised successfully
within two miles of the college town,
and of flavor even richer than that
of the peaches raised in the Wawawai
and Almota fruit districts. Mr.. Saw
age is also the proud possessor of a
small vineyard on his farm, and this
year has as nice a crop of Concord
grapes as could be raised anywhere
IN the state.

FIRST Issue of Volume Eighteen of
College Paper Puts in Appearance.
Best Ever Turned Out at the
Institution.

Number one of the eighteenth vol
ume of the Evergreen, the publica-
ton of the students of the State Col
leSe, made its appearance Tuesday
evening, after weeks delay, owing
TO the INABILITY of George H. Shearer.
! the business manager, to appear on
the scene of action on scheduled time.
The paper is this year a fiye-column.
elght-page sheet, which will permit
OF twice as much reading matter as
last year, and is in the hands of a
staff of competent and experienced
newspaper men. Roy w. Merritt, the
editor, is newspaper man of consid-
cradle experience, and his first effort
this year proves that the man at the
helm is we'll qualified to give the stu
dents the best paper they ever had
and the advertisers fun value re-
ceived.
George II. Shearer is handling the
business end of the enterprise in a
way that bespeaks much success from
that standpoint. The staff of cor
respondents includes II. Reed Fulton,
who will act as associate editor and
handle the news from the school of
music; Joe L. Phillips, literary; Rus
sell a. Bankson, campus; Howard
Gregory, exchange; J. G. Rake, cur
rent events; Benton Stookey, society;
Curtis e. Stewart, campus and Jesse
kimm, locals. The business staff is
headed by Mr.. Shearer as manager.
Willard e. Mitchell is assistant bust
ness manager and II. G. Cotton, cir
culation manager.
Many new departments have been
added to the paper, among the most
popular of which is the full page of
sports, edited by Mr.. Merritt. The
current events columns are also at
tracing considerable favorable COM
ment, their purpose being to present
the current events of the week, state,
national and foreign, in condensed
form This department, which is in
charge of J. G. Rake, is very popular
with the students whose school duties
do not permit of a careful perusal of
the daily papers.

FIRST COLLEGE
GAME SATURDAY
Gonzaga and w. s. G. wiz Mix on
Rogers Field in First Game
of Season.

The coming football game Satur-
| day between Gonzaga College of Spo-
Kane and the State College, although
scheduled as but a practice game,
promises to be of unusual interest. as
a general size-up of the team and the
likely subs can be obtained from the
contest 1t will not be a walkaway,
according to both Manager Jones and
Coach Osthoff, who expect George
Varnell, the foxy coach of the visiting
team, to have plenty of "deceivers"
and all kinds of life in his play.
Gonzaga last year surprised the
wise ones by putting a team on the
market that made the football barons
of the northwest look up and begin
to talk strongly about taking the
husky Spokanites into the northwest
athletic conference And Gonzaga
has not lost a thing in the makeup
Of this years eleven.
Coach Osthoff has not announced a
lineup. and some of the positions are
In doubt. Still there will be seen in
the fray Captain Fishback at tackle,
Tub Laird at tackle the two Harters
of all-northwest fame last year; Coul-
ter, who is playing a great game at
half; George Pynn and Milt Moeser
at quarter, two recruits from Spokane
high school; Ned Chiefly, one-time
star, back at half; gritty little Boyce
Heint2elman at end, and Eddie KEN
holz at half doing the booting. Full
hack is one of the big questions, and
Coulter may be placed in his old po-
sition as a starter.
While the State College expects to
win the fight, it will not be a cinch.
George Varnell, perhaps the best Of
fetal in the entire northwest, will ref
cree the contest, and Manager Jones
has told him to call everything on the
local team that can be called, just to
get them in shape for the big game
with Idaho at Moscow two weeks
hence.
The team goes to the University of
Montana at Missoula for its second
practice workout next Saturday, but
the game tomorrow is expected to be
much the better of the two practice
games.

NcKILLIP AWARDED
SI,ISl.5O DAMAGES
Montesano Man Awarded Damages i'm
Suit Against City of Pullman 10
Recover for Injuries Sustained
by Falling From Sidewalk.

Judge Chester F. Miller, who tried
the case of N. d. McKillip VS.. the Cit,
Of Pullman, in which damages to tn,
extent of $1,000 were asked to com
pensate the plaintiff for injuries re
eeiyed by falling from sidewalk
near the Alton hotel May 5, 1910
has>rendered decision against the
city in the sum of $2,1S1.5O, $4,000
Of which is to cover general damages
and $1S1.50 for medical attention
and hospital fees.
The case attracted great amount
Of attention, the city being repre-
sented by ID. c. Dow and ]. w. Math-
ews, and NJ. s. lamar representing
the plaintiff. Attorney lamar con-
Quoted his side of the case on the
grounds of negligence, arguing that
the city should have either kept the
sidewalk in good repair or provided
lights to guide those unaccustomed to
the conditions. The attorneys for the
city fought the suit on the grounds
OF contributory negligence, arguing
to the court that the plaintiff was
suffering from nocturnal blindness at
the time of the accident and should
not have yentured out alone after
dark
In stating his findings Judge Miller
said, in effect, that the defendant was
guilty of negligence, as alleged in the
complaint of the plaintiff, and that
the plaintiff was not guilty of contrib
utory negligence. as alleged in the an
swer of the defendant 1t was the
opinion of the court that a jury not
influenced by passion or prejudice on
either side would render a verdict in
the neighborhood of $4,000, and, mas
much as the jury privilege had been
waived by mutual consent, he would
instruct that findings be prepared in
favor of the plaintiff in that amount,
together with the expense for medical
attention and hospital fees.
The probable costs of the case have
been variously estimated at from
$500 to $500, which will have to be
paid by the city in addition to the
City Attorney d. c. Dow states that
the case Will not be appealed, but that
he will recommend to the city council
that suit be brought against the
O.-W. R. &; N. Company to recover
the amount of the judgment and the
costs of the case, he being of the poin-
ion that the railroad company is liza
