COLLEGE GLEE CLUB
MAKES BIG HIT
Capacity House Grects State College
Son2sters-Best Entertainment
in History of Club.

An audience of fully eleven hun
dred people filled the big auditorium
at the State College last night to
listen to the entertainment of the
College Glee club and at the close
of the program there was not per-
son in the big audience who, had he
voiced his sentiments, would not
have pronounced it the best enter
tainment of the nature ever given in
Pullman, and that's saying lot.
The boys conducted themselves like
professionals and every number on
the program was a gem.
A reading, Christmas Day in the
Morning" by Miss Augusta Rozis-
key, and several instrumental num-
bers by DR.. Evans, including selec-
tons on w. S. C,'s big pipe organ,
added the necessary variety to tbs
entertainment.
The little opera, THE College
Moon" was written for the Glee
Club by II. Reed Fulton and dealing
with college life, was teeming with
interest and held the closest atten-
ton of the audience. Every charac-
ter was well sustained and d weak
place was not to be found in the
cast. Especially pleasing, however,
was the Interpretation of the char
acters, Billy" an airy spirit from
Holland, by Mox Baumeister;
Mack" a lyric telephone tenor, by
Reed Fulton, and Jack" football
falstaff, by Jesse Laird. Grover
Graham and Joe Shields, as Miss
Margaret and Dorothy Radcliff, made
excellent female characters.
The solo parts in the playlet were
all Of high order and included
when Father Was College Man."
by Mox Manchester; Tell It to the
King of Denmark" by Jesse Laird;
I've Got Your Number" by Reed
Fulton, and College Moon" by Roy
Merritt.
The only disappointment of the
evening was the fact that the Glee
Club quartet did not appear in the
program.

MERCER TALKS TO
BIG MEETINGS
College Men Turn Out En- MaSSe to
Hear MERGERS StOry-Other
Leaders, Seaman and DIR.
McLauren.

A large audience of college stu
dents, together with a few men from
the city, greeted Ted" Mercer at his
initial appearance at the State Col
lege Thursday evening.
Mr.. Mercer brought to every man
message in his sincere, earnest and
plain talks to men. Mr. Mercer is a
college man and knows the college
man with all his ambitions, tempta-
lions and struggles. and because he
has been through all of these and
has fallen in so many of them, but at
last conquered again, his words are
or double strength.
Mr.. Mercer in the two first meet
ings Drought clearly before the men
the result and the end, toward which
so many of the little and easy things
that all are so apt to thoughtlessly
do, inevitably tend
On Saturday evening over six hun
dred men listened to the story of
MERGERS life. He is a member of q
prominent Southern family directly
connected with one of our presidents
He entered the University of Virginia
where he became popular in society,"
a prominent athlete, and a member
of numerous organizations, including
the Glee Club. 1t was here that he
fell under the temptation of drink
and kept going from worse to worse
till finally his own father refused him
place as his son. He then obtain
ed one or two positions but lost them
through drink and finally found him
self in the slums of New York in the
bread line of the mission station,
loathing himself and yet unable to
conquer his appetite for drink.
Finally he went to one of the mis-
sion testimony meetings and on hear
ing the witness of so many of their
success over temptation by the help
of Jesus Christ, he resolved that by
the help of Christ he would try again
and it was with the result that he
was victorious, though his fight was a
hard one. After he had conquered
himself he helped many others there
In New York to get on their feet and
to be men again. For a number of
years he has been speaking to college
men urging all to higher standards of
life and of character
He is now making a tour of the
colleges and universities of the West
and the State College was the first on
his schedule, and If he ever comes
back into the West again he will be
welcome at w. S. c.
While Mercer spoke to the men,
the women of the college listened
gladly to addresses by Misses Gage,
Hopkins and Crane.
The series of lectures at the col
lege closed Sunday afternoon in a
mass meeting of all the students.

one of the most enthusiastic, if
not the largest, meetings Of the
pullman Chamber of Commerce was
hold at the Palace hotel Tuesday
evening. After a substantial supper
had been enjoyed the meeting was
called to order by Vice-President
Tbomason. The minutes of the pre-
vious meeting were read and APPROX
cd and the reports of several COM
mittees received and placed on file.
w. Bittle Wells, publicity agent of
the 0. w. r. & N. Co., was then in
troduced and gave a very interest
ing address on effective advertising
and the work which his company is
doing in conjunction with communi-
ties along it's lines He fully describ-
ed the plan of operation and cited
the results attained in several small
cities in Idaho and Oregon. He dwelt
at length on the remarkable growth
and development of Medford, Ore,
which for four years has followed
the advertising campaign devised by
the Hartman system He showed
samples of the beautiful advertising
books, pamphlets and folders which
the railroad is issuing and closed by
making a proposition that If Pullman
would raise $1,000 the railroad
would issue over $4,000 pieces of
advertising matter devoted to Pull
man.
The literature would include TO-
900 community booklets containing
views of Pullman scenes and build
ings, taken by the railroad photog-
rapher under direction of Pullman
citizens. The reading matter will
be prepared from data furnished by
citizens, by the special writer en-
ployed by the publicity department
of the railroad for this work Ten
thousand copies of Il pusts. card iuiu
er, to which is attached a return
,
of the Chamber of Commerce, will
also be issued and $4,000 copies of
colonist folders, which will be dis
tributed by the representatives of the
railroad among homeseekers coming
from the east
His proposition was heartily en-
dorsed and commended by several
citizens and a motion carried amid
applause that the Chamber of Com
merce pledge the $1,000 required.
Later a subscription paper was start
ed around the table and in ten min
utes nearly 500 was pledged.
Professors Thatcher and Waller
called attention to the necessity of
finding accommodations for the num-
erous visitors who will soon be in
Pullman to attend the annual wheat
convention and the short course in
horticulture. Any persons who can
furnish rooms for these visitors were
urged to leave their names with &.
H. Harrison, secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
The committee on publicity report
ed in favor of issuing a series of 10
or II postal cards, with Pullman
scenes and terse descriptive arti-
cles.
Several motions to adjourn were
voted down because the members
were loath to break up such an en-
1oyable and harmonious meeting.
The spirit of good fellowship which
Is being developed among the busl-
ness men is one of the beneficial re-
suits already attained by the organl-
cation.

City Attorney.

The piles and trcstle work of the
railroad bridges which span the
South Palouse river in this city were
largely responsible for the damage
by the floods of last March, and it
is the desire of the people Of the city
that these structures be replaced by
span bridges before spring to elimin-
ate the possibility of repetition of the
damage The three trestles which
the city asks the railroad company to
replace with span bridges are the
one on Kamiacken street, north Of
the city hall, the one north OF the
flour mill, which was washed out by
the floods of last March and the one
on the supr of the o. w. r. q n.
tracks near the city park. Soon af-
ter the flood the city council passed
an ordinance creating a dyking dis
trict and defining the channels of the
river. While it may be impossible
to have the distractions removed
and the trestles replaced by span
bridges before spring, it is probable
that the railroad company will push
matters as fast as possible.
While Mr.. Connolly had no auth
GRITTY to make the city any definite
promises, he agreed to take the mat
ter up with the general manager S
Office, and stated that in all probable
ity the company would be willing to
make the changes.

MAY BUILD NEW
RAILROAD BRIDGES
o. W. IL. n n. 60. Asked by City of
Pullman to Construct Three New
Bridges in Corporate Limits.

VIM. Connolly. of Spokane. super
intendcnt of the Washington division
of the 0. w. r. & Co, was in Pull
man Tuesday in conference with city
officials in regard to the construction
of three new railroad bridges with
in the corporate limits of the city of
Pullman. Mr.. Connolly came to
Pullman in response to the following
letter from City Attorney d. C. Dow:
Pullman, Wash, Dec. "a, 1910.
Mr.. W, Connolly. Supt. of Construc-
ton, o. r. & N. Co, Spokane,
Wash.
Dear Sir:
After the flood which occurred
here last March, and which swept
away some trestle work aud span
bridge of the o. r. & n. Co. across
the Palouse river here, the 0. r. &
n. Co. began the construction of
trestle work across the river not only
at the two places within the city lin
its of Pullman where there had been
trestles before, but also at the place
where the span bridge had been
washed out,
The city authorities protested to the
company that these trcstles would in
times of ordinary high water cause
ice jams and completely dam up the
river, making the danger of damage
to property in Pullman even greater
than it had been before. The city
authorities were assured by the Q.
r. & n. Co, that these trestles were
only temporary structures, so they
permitted them to be put in without
further protest. Now the heavy
rains and snowfalls are coming on
again and the O. II. & N. Co. has
done nothing to remove these causes
of dangerous floods.
The only remedy we can see is for
the company to remove these trestles
and replace them with span bridges
where they cross the main channel
of the river.
| am taking up this matter with
you at the request of the mayor and
city council of Pullman, and ] would
be glad to have you come down to
Pullman soon so that we may go over
the situation with you.
About 100000 of damages was
done in Pullman last March by the
flood which was caused mainly by
the jams Of ice and debris piling up
against the o. r. & N. trestle and
damming up the river
The citizens here feel pretty
strongly about this matter, and we
desire to prevent, if possible, re-
pitition of last springs disastrous
floods
Please let me know what view you
take of this matter, and when you
can meet with me and the mayor and
members of the council to go over
this problem on the ground.
Yours very truly,
~

nearly 400 years had hung the
Mona Lisa OF Leonardo da Ninci
This picture has been the eXas-
perauon and inspiration to every pOr-
trait painter who has put brush to

The Despair Of Painters"
Unlike so many other works attrib-
uted to Leonardo. no doubt exists as
to its authenticity. The correspond
ence relative to its sale vet exists. and
even the voucher proving its payment
may yet be seen.
We call the Mona Lisa a portrait
and we have been told how Ia GiocOn-
da sat for the picture and how the ar
stories, Rotations, the Turing strains
OF hidden lutes, and strange flowers
and rare pictures brought in as sur
prises TO animate and cheer.
That Leonardo loved this woman we
are sure, and that their friendship was
close and intimate the world has
guessed: but the picture is not her
portrait-it is himself whom the artist
reveals.
Away back in his youth when Leo
nardO was a student with VerrocchiO,
he gave US glimpseS Of this same face.
He showed this WOman's mysterious
smile in the Madonna in st. Ann, Mary

not until La GiOcOnda had posed for
him did the COnsummate beauty and
