the seventh class, was again post
poned, this time until February G..
The reason for the postponement as
given by the commissioners was that
they wished to confer with Attorney

r. Lanning is New
City Marshal
City Dads Confirm Mayors Appoint
ment of Old Soldier

At the meeting of the city coun-
ell held last night Mayor Mcguire
appointed R. Lanning, an old sold
Ter, to the position of city marshal
for the ensuing year. The city
council, by a vote of four to one,
confirmed the appointment, Council
men Staley, Sanborn, Henry and
Sanger voting to confirm, with Coun-
Gilman Lawler opposed and Council
man Douglass absent. The other APP
plicants for the position were Messrs.
Overstreet and Horner. The mayor
reappOinted J. N. Cochran as street
commissioner, the appointment be-
ing confirmed by an unanimous vote
of the councilmen, as was also that
of Geo. n Henry as police Judge.
Chief Geo. Henry, Jr., of the Pull
man volunteer fire departm ent, ap-
peared before the council with plans
and specifications for a fire alarm
system. His plan is to provide a
telephone system, with a telephone
in the home of every member of the
fire department, in each of the fire
stations and the city hall. The sys-
tenn would be so arranged that one
alarm would ring the telephone bell
at each place which would enable
the firemen to learn the location of
the fire from the person who turned
in the alarm. The expense of the
system was estimated at between
$3.50 and $500, which would include
nineteen telephones. The matter
was discussed at considerable length
by the members of the council and
finally laid over until the next meet
ing, when some decision will be-
reached. Several of the councilmen
expressed them selves in favor of the
system and in all probability the
proposition of the fire department,
after a few changes have been made
in the plans. will be accepted by the
city dads and the system installed.
One of the changes which will I'M
doubtedly be made will be the SUBJ

phones at the fire stations and the

ColfaX Marshal Case.

After much wrangling and dissen-
sion between the mayor and city
council of the city of Colfax over
the appointment of marshal, a set
tlement has at last been effected and
VIM. Daily, formerly deputy sheriff of
this county, has been made marshal.
Upon the election of E. w. Weinberg
to succeed VIM. Lippitt as mayor at
the county seat, it was known that a
change would be made in the mar
shalship, Mayor Weinberg not being
favorable to J. B. MacKay. who had
been marshal for almost twenty
years. AT the first meeting of the
new council, Mayor Weinberg an
pointed 7. A. Ireland to wear the
star, but when the matter of con-
firmation came before the council
the vote stood three for and three
against, one councilman being alb
sent. At the next meeting, with all
councilmen present, the vote was
again taken, four councilmen refus-
ing to confirm the appointment and
three being in favor of it. A third
vote was taken at the next meeting.
resulting the same as the second,
and, seeing that it was impossible to
get the job for Ireland, the mayor
appointed VIM. Daily, his appoint
ment being Immediately confirmed
by the council.
The case attracted much attention
all over the county and created a
great deal of ill-feeling among the
councilmen and the mayor. AS an
aftermath, Simon Driefus, one of the
dissenting councilmen, has been ar
rested, charged with selling goods to
the city while acting as a city official.
He has been placed under bonds of
5000 and in all probability several
other city officials will be arrested
on similar charges before the tur-
moil dies out.

merce was DESTROYS of enlisting the
cooperation of the city council in
the matter of putting a string of
lights along one of the principal
streets from the city to the college
to enable visitors to find their way
to the institution more readily after
night. 1t was stated that the col
lege was willing to bear its share of
the expense. The streets and lights
committee, which is composed of
Councilmen Lawler, Sanborn and
Douglass. was instructed to investi-
gate the proposition more thorough
~ and to report at the next meeting
what the probable cost would be
and how much of the expense would
be borne by the Chamber of Com
merce and the college.
The question of sidewalks was
discussed at some length and the
city attorney was instructed to draft
an ordinance requiring that all new
sidewalks constructed within the
city limits be of cement and that as
fast as the present sidewalks are
condemned that they be replaced by
cement walks. The ordinance will
require that the walks be of uniform
width, probably 1-2 feet, in the
residence districts. The ordinance
will also provide that in cases where
a cement sidewalk would be imprac-
table the council may grant permits
for wooden walks.
A. Walk appeared before the coun-
ell and asked that the sewer assess
ment on several lots in Reaneys adj
dition, near the city park, be can
celled as the lots were more than
$50 feet from the sewer line. The
matter was referred to the proper
committee.
Bids for the city printing for the
ensuing year were opened and the
contract awarded TO the lowest bid
der, the News, their bid being 40I
cents per inch for the first insertion
and 25 cents for each subsequent tn
sertion
The matter of the establishment
of street grades was discussed, after
which the council adjourned to meet
again in two weeks.

The College Wants $6O5, 1917
That Amount Necessary Maintain High Standard of Eff
ficiency of Great Educational Institution.

The State College of Washington
will ask the present legislature to
set aside $605, 163.17 for the use of
the institution during the coming
two years. President E. A. Bryan,
who is now in Olympia, having been
summoned by the chairman of the
senate committee on appropriations,
explained to the legislators that
$491, 270.17 of this amount was nee
essary for salaries, operating eXpen-
ses, improvements and departmental
expenses. The balance would cover
farmers institutes and extensions,
cooperative experiments in irriga-
ton and dry farming and cereal in
vestigations, Puyallup experim ent
station, fireproof herbarium and in
sectOry and for purchasing land adj
joining the campus and military
field.
OF the total amount of the present
budget about $4,000 is for expert
mental extension, farmers institute
and demonstration work, including
the maintenance of the Puyallup ex-
pertinent station. OF this 100000 es-
timated but little will be spent in
Pullman, but will be distributed
throughout the state wherever the
extension and other work takes
place The only permanent improve
ment asked for in the new appropria-
ton is a fireproof herbarium and in
sectorium, in which to place the
valuable museum.
President Bryan favors five mill
tax levy and will work hard to have
such a measure adopted by the leg
islature. This would give the col
lege and experiment station a fixed
revenue and would do away with the
necessity of going to Olympia every

GOOD ROADS MEETING
IN NEAR FUTURE
Pullman Chamber of Commerce Will
Hold Good Roads Meeting, to
Which Farmers VIII Be
Invited.

But little business was transacted
at the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce Tuesday evening. A sug-
gestion was made that for the benefit
of strangers visiting the city, electric
lights should be hung along some
street from the business part of
town to the college. The matter
was referred to committee with in
structions to take it up with the city
council and college authorities.
1t was decided to hold good
roads meeting in the near future. A
big dinner will be served to which
all the farmers in the surrounding
country will be invited. 1t will
probably be given in the w. s. G.
gymnasium and good program, in
Guiding an illustrated lecture on
roads, will be prepared for the oc-
casion. The duty of preparing the
program and entertainment and sell
Getting the date was entrusted to the
committee on entertainment.
The question of securing accom-
modations for visitors attending the
wheat convention and the short
course in horticulture, was again
taken up and it was voted that the
Chamber of Commerce assume the
expense of employing some one to
make a canvass of the city and list
all rooms which will be available for
visitors.
The adoption of an emblematic
seal was postponed for future action

day will prove a memorable one for
the several members of the local
lodge Knights of Pythias who have
signified their intention of making
the trip across the hot sands to full
membership in the 'Dokies. y
While much mystery surrounds the
initiatory work of the order, it is a
significant fact that every Pullman

lion head center, takes to the tall
timber every time he hears the name

This will be the fourth annual
trip of the Lewiston members to this
