the new parcels post law, which
goes into effect on January |. The
official map, showing the zones, and
the new scales, has been received
and the regulations which apply
under the new law. The features
which are likely TO cause the most
trouble are the requirements that

matter bearing ordinary postage
stamps will be Held for Postage "

DEBATING LEAGUE
OF HIGH SCHOOLS
Pullman Team at Garfield Tonight
in the Opening Round of the
Contest

The Pullman high school debating
team, which has won the county
championship cup for two successive
years, will start the struggle for the
third seasons victory this evening at
Garfield. The team which will rep
resent the Pullman high school dur
ing the coming series of contests is
composed of Eric Klossner, Lambert
Hoover and Eric Egge. The trio
will meet the Garfield team and will
uphold the affirmative side of the
question, Resolved, that men exert
greater influence upon the char
acter or greatness of a nation than
do women"
This question was selected by the
county superintendent and the fol-
lowing contests were arranged for
the first of the series of debates. the
first named having the affirmative:
Penawawa VS.. Steptoe.
Endicott VS.. Pennington.
Lamont VS.. st. John.
Johnson VS.. Oakesdale.
Tekoa VS.. COlfaX
Pullman VS. Garfield.
Rosalia VS.. Palouse.
Thornton VS.. Maiden.
The result of the debates, accord
ing to a recent ruling of the super
intendents, will be made public at
the close of each contest. The
decisions of the judges will be sealed
and sent to the county superintend-
ent. who will hold them until the end
of the contest, when there will be a
count made of the votes received by
each team during the season and the
championship awarded.
Another decision by the committee
will make it necessary for the speak
ers on each team to rely on their own
ability in preparing their debate ma
terial. Before each contest each de-
bate coach will be required to certify
that he has not assisted the speakers
on his team in the collection of ma
terial, but that his efforts have been
confined to instruction concerning
delivery. This decision means that
Messrs. Klossner, Hoover and Egge
will be altogether responsible for the
arguments presented at Garfield in
their contest, but Pullman students
are losing no sleep over the decision
Klossner and Egge are Juniors in the
high school and in former contests
both of them have shown great abil'
ity. Hoover is a Senior, who com
pleted the first three years of his
course at Lacrosse. He has had
much experience in debating during
the last three years and is expected
to make good. Altogether, the Pull
man team seems fully competent tc
maintain the record set by the teams
of the last three years and to bring
the silver debate cup to Pullman fol
the third consecutive time.

There is one man who, through
out the season, has quietly been
boosting and helping the high school
football team. He has probably
given the boys more than all the
rest of the individual help they have
received. That man is E. H. Letter
man, and not until recently did the
students discover and recognize the
help he had given the team.
Mr.. Letterman has donated to the
amount of $35 and has taken kind
ly interest in all the members of the
squad; has encouraged them, and
has associated with them as II he
were boy. Monday Captain-elect
Henry circulated a statement of
thanks addressed TO Mr.. Letterman
and each student signed. When he
received the paper he said. II prize
this very much and would rather
have II than any house in Pullman.
Tell the boys I shall try and do bet

When we consider that without these

season have been derth of amusement
In this line. 1t is therefore reasonable
they should appeal for support In the

Pierre, April 5.-Attorney General
johnson, and Deputy State Auditor
Murphy are in the Black Hills to look
into the volt bounty situation in that
section. The complaint appears to be
principally in Pennington county al
though the returns from Fall River
county show that they have bunch of
active wolf hunters In that county,
they sending in claims amounting to
several thousand dollare In the closing
months of the last fiscal year. The
situation In Pennington county which
appears to be attracting about as much
attention as any one thing, was habit
which certain list of wolf hunters had
acquired of getting around with prac
tically the same number of scalps in .
sequence of few days of one another,
each claiming practically the same
amount Of bounty.
VI course this psay have been only
the striving to keep up the game on
their part, when one took in q certain
number, the others getting busy to
keep just even with the man who had
