ANTI-sMUT CONVENTION
IN PULLMAN THIS MONTH
President II. &. McCroskey OF Anti.
Smut Association Calls Meeting
for Pullman, Septem.
her 28 and 20.

President r. c. McCroskey, of the
inland Empire Anti-Smut Associa-
ton. has issued a call for a conyen-
ton of that association in this city
September 2S and 20, and every
farmer of the Inland Empire should
make special effort to attend the
convention. President McCroskey's
call is as follows:
In accordance with power vested
in me at our last convention | hereby
call the Inland Empire Anti-Smut
Association to meet in Pullman,
Wash, September 2S and 20. Every
one interested In the question OF pre-
vention of smut in grain is urgently
requested to be present and assist In
working and planning for the solu-
ton of this knotty problem. Those
who for years have given their best
thought and scientific knowledge to
the solution of the question think It
Is best FOR the wheat raisers them
selves to get together annually and
give their experiences during the pre-
ceding year from notes carefully
taken, showing how their grain was
treated, when and how planted and
the results in the crop. Prof. Wal
Ter, acting president of the State Col
lege, will place at our disposal all the
facilities for making and publishing
a report of our proceedings. Prof.
Thatcher, director of the experiment
station, will be present with such of
his staff as may be desired to answer
questions, and otherwise do our bid
ding, but he thinks 1t will be best
for the farmers to work out the
problem themselves 1t Is useless to
recount the woeful loss from smut.
Every wheat raiser is familiar with
this subject. Let every one, there
fore, who needs help come, and every
one who thinks he can give help
come. Let us enter upon ten-year
campaign of concentrated action to
diminish or completely prevent smut.
There is undoubtedly one way better
than all other ways to eradi cate this
great scourge Let us try to find that
way. If we do not succeed we can at
least find better way than our pres
ent method by getting together and
comparing notes.
A program OF the convention will
be published in due time
r. G. McCROSKEY,
President of the Inland Empire Anti
Smut Association

FOOTBALL DOINGS
At HIGH SCHOOL
Excellent Prospects for Winning
Team at Pullman High School.
Coach Cave Rounding Team
Into Condition.

The Pullman high school football
team of 1911 promises to be the best
the school has yet turned out except
ing not even the championship team
of last year The squad is somewhat
smaller than the one of last year. but
nearly all of those who are turning
out are experienced. and lack moth
ing in weight and strength. A faster
team will probably be developed than
last year, and the combined weight of
the players will about equal the
weight of last years team.
Coach Cecil Cave has the squad out
in uniform every day and is putting
the players through some good prac-
tice. Cave coached the team of 1910,
and says he can make even a better
team this year, in spite of the fact
that the fullback, both halfbacks and
one end have left school. Nearly the
whole line is back in school, and some
big, husky students are here to take
the places that are vacant.
The mem bers of last years team
who are back in school are Harter
tcaptain), Glover, Meeks, w. Hinch-
lift, Henry Livingston and Moss. To
fill the vacant positions a number of
players, who have had experience.
are turning out and two full teams
are out for practice nearly every
night. Both halfbacks and the full
back of the 1910 team are out of
school, but these positions can prob
ably be filled with experienced play
ers.
The first game will be with the
Lewiston Normal School, at Lewiston,
on October IA. These two teams
played a tie game last year, the score
being II to II. The rest of the
schedule follows:
October 2S--Tekoa, at Tekoa.
Nov. Oakesdalc, at Pullman.
November 11--Rosalia, at Rosalia.
November 1S-Colfax, at Colfax.
November 25-Coeur d'Alene. at
Pullman
Thanksgiving Palouse, at
Pullman
There is some doubt as to whether
or not the game with Occur d'Alene
can be arranged. but the other games
are definitely settled.

Form Of Government Brings Out
RIG Crowd-Question Will BE
Debated.

The mass meeting held in the cit,
hall last Friday evening to discus,
the commission form of government

legal standpoint, explaining the
workings of the state law in regard
to it, and F. NJ. Slagle read several
articles bearing on the subject.
While some of the speakers took
a decided stand on the question
others stated that they We're not well
enough acquainted with the subject
to form fair opinion and would not
take a stand either for or against the
commission form until they had be-
come closer in touch with its work
ings. The consensus of opinion was
that the citizens should become we'll
acquainted with the subject before
they were asked to vote on the ques-
sion form of government will be
adopted by Pullman, and with the
idea in view Of presenting to the
voters arguments on both sides of
the question. it was decided to have
the question debated by six repre-
sentative citizens at an early date
A committee, consisting OF J n. En-
erson, Mrs. Damman and Prof Car
penter, was appointed by the chair
to select the debaters, three of whom
are to be opposed to placing Pullman
under the commission form and the
other three in favor of it. The de-
bate will be held at the Methodist

PULLMAN SCHOOLS
SHOW HEALTHY GROWTH.
Enrolment in High School and
Grades Will Reach Six Hundred.
Much New Material Added.

The Pullman public schools, which
opened for the fall term last week
are experiencing a steady growth and
nearly five hundred students are en-
rolled in the high school and grades.
The enrolment in the grades on Mon
day of this week was 37S, which is
considerably larger than the enroll
ment at this time last year. The
high school enrolment, however, is
somewhat smaller than at the end of
the first week in the 1910 term, al
though there are 12S in the high
school at present, and it is known
that quite a few will enroll during the
next week.
Superintendent II. A Ellis is of the
opinion that the enrolment in the
grades will total $50 and in the high
school $50. This will be larger than
the combined enrolment of last year.
The school work been improved
considerably and much new material
has been secured. Two hundred and
fifty volumes have been added to the
library, 50 volumes have been Sc
cured for the high school English
work, 40 reference books for the his
tory students have been secured, and
in the scientific classes much new
equipment has been installed.
Supt. Ellis states that the English
course in the Pullman high school is
as good as can be found in any high
school, and that the scientific course
is as good as in any high school of
the same size.

SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS NEW LAW
eminent Is Constitutional in
WalIa WalIa Case

OLYMPIA, July S.-The state su.
preme court yesterday held consti.
tutional the law passed by the last
legislature authorizing cities with
from $500 and 10000 inhabitants to
adopt commission form of govern
ment. The court held that the laws
does not change the functions of the
municipality but merely the instru.
mentality of handling the functions,
that this is not class legislation but
merely forms new classification of
cities and towns. Furthermore, the
court holds that every law passed by
the legislature is constitutional unless
it clearly violates some provision of
the constitution. The case came up
from Walla Walla, where the mayor
refused to issue a call for a special
election to let the voters pass on the
question of it's adoption.

WHALING STATION
IMPROVES ITS PLANT
instaiIs Drier to Do Away With Dis.
agreeable Odors-PIant Is Run
ming Full Blast

Further improvements have been
made at the South Bay whaling sta
ton by the starting of the drier.
With the drier working the dis.
agreeable odor which has been not
iceable around the plant, practically
will be eliminated. The odor has
been due to the whale meat becom-
ing a little old before the plant has
been able to handle it. The plant
has been kept busy since the first
whales were brought in, as up to
Wednesday thirteen leviathans had
been killed. The drier will take the
whale meat and dry it out thoroughly
thus eliminating the odor.
At present the plant is employing
10 men, and is paying wages of
from $40 to $50 per month, with board
and lodging. The company has had
difficulty in keeping it's men up to
date, on account of the odors aris-
ing from the whale meat, but it is
believed this will be overcome by the
use of the drier.
Since the whaling station began,
operations there has been almost a
constant line of visitors. Many PEG.
pie have made the trip down the
Harbor for the sole purpose of visit
ing the plant, while others spending
the day at the Westport beach, have
crossed to the station. The manage
ment is considering setting apart GER
tain days of the week for visiting
