last Sunday and now leads in the race
for the Inland league pennant. The
victory for the Cardinals means that
Pullman must play IF protested game
with Rosalia next Sunday and must win
the game in order to tie Coliax. In case
Pullman does win this game next Sun
day the tie for championship will prob
ably be PLAYED off at Colfax the follow
ing Sunday.
The Colfax Cardinals went to Pullman
Sunday witch determination to win from
their old rivals by clean playing. The
whole team buckled down to busiT ess
and the way Pullman was shut out was
a Joy to the COlTax crowd which had ac-
companied the team. Marsh pitched
classy bail and OF the fret twelve men
up for Pullman not a one saw first. In
TACT Pullman got only two measly little
hits off from Marsh in the whole game.
In the first inning Colfax scored one
run and that kept excitement at a fever
pitch until the fourth inning when by
hard hitting and series of errors Col
lax made four more runs. Moss relieved
Bryan in the fifth but Colfax made two
more runs off from him before quitting.
Disputes over decisions, shortage of
balls and dusty diamond were some Of
the disagreeable features of the game.
Following ia the score:

To Help Them--M Many AppIica-
tions for Teachers Certificates.

Olympia, July u OF the 115 high
schools in the state which have applied
TO the state board OF education to be
placed on the accredited list OF the state,
two are in Whitman county, being the
high school at Pullman which was ac-
credited for the full four year course and
the school at Endicott which was given
credit for its ninth, tenth and eleventh
grades. Colfax, PaIouse, Tekoa, Rosala
and Oakesdale are already accredited
four year high schools.
OF the total number OF schools which
made application A were either rejected
or action was deferred. OF those re-
manning eight were given credit for their
ninth grade work, % for their ninth and
tenth grades, eight for their ninth, tenth
and eleventh grades and II were given
credit for the full four years course, while
20 schools were continued on the four
year accredited list. The board ruled
that all accreditments should be subject
to the condition that all the schools
should show the minimum average daily
attendance which is six pupils p9r grade
in the aggregate. Never before in the
history OF the board has so large a
number of schools made application for
accreditments.

before the public service commission on

OF whether the commission has the power
to order physical connection between

which may go directly to the supreme
court as it involves a question Of iuris
dictiOn OF the commission. The Silver
creek company claim in their complaint
that the Bell Telephone company al.
though it is not competing line refuses
to make physical connection with Che
halls, Morton or Winlock OF the Silver
creek company with the result that the
r. subscribers of this line have no long
distance telephone connections. II the
commission has the power to direct the
Bell Telephone company to make physi-
cal connection it means that every inde
pendent telephone system will be eenabled
to secure the advantages OF the Bell
lines provided they can get an extension
to connect with the Bell system at any
point.

When he returns his confederate asks
him, "Is II a -7' naming some article

letter OF the word he is to guess. The
guesser replies In the negative. The
questioner then asks. sis II n -T' nam
Ing some article the initial letter OF
which is the second letter Of the word
to be guessed, and so on until the word
Is complete.

The questions might be: lis II a can

To all OF these the person questioned
has answered NO" but he has been
following the first letters OF the words.

a Canal of Steel.

In connection with the Nile irriga.

has been constructed n canal of steel
$500 feet In length whereby water
from the service reservoir is distribut-

metallic canal is q shaped, twenty
feet broad and twelve feet deep. 1t
is made up of seventeen sections, con-
nected by expansion joints. and the
riveted steel plates of which 1t con-
sists are six. milllmeters in thickness.
During the construction the engineers
were troubled. among other things. by
the unequal expansion of the metal.
The expansion was greatest on the
