PLENTY OF WATER
BUT TOO MUCH SAND
After Test of Wells X. II. Tannatt
Makes Recommendations to the
City Council

h. I. Tannatt of the Tannatt-Allen
Engineering Co. of Spokane, at the
meeting of the city council, made his
report on the condition of the city
wells and recomme ended the installa-
ton of a practically new pumping
plant. He reported that about 20
feet Of sand was removed by air
pressure from the well inside the
pumping station, while very little
sand was found in the well outside.
lie accounted for this on the theory
that the first well was drilled deeper
than the other and ran into a sand
bar in an underground stream of
water, which the well outside did not
reach He figures that an ample
supply of water can be developed
from the two wells to meet all the
requirements OF the city for years to
come, but that it is absolutely neces-
sary to increase the present flow,
and to keep the sand out of the
pump, by the construction of set
ting tank. He predicts that unless
this is done it will be impossible to
take satisfactory care of the pump
ing machinery or to install meters,
as the sand will cut the machinery
and clog the meters.
His recomm endations provide for
the removal of the sand for consid-
cradle space around the bottom of
the well by the use of air pressure;
for the construction of .Arge two
compartment tank, in one section of
which the sand will settle, and from
the other of which the clear water is
to be pumped; for the purchase of a
pew rotary pump to take the place of
the pump now in use, which, he says,
is almost worn out. His report and
recommendations have been referred
to the city engineers for considera-
ton.

Basket Ball Team Defeats Lewis
and Clark Five in Spokane and
Also Medical Lake

The basket ball team won both
games on their trip to Spokane and
Medical Lake last week. The game
at Spokane with the Lewis and Clark
team was very close. At the end of
the first half the score was Z to 7,
and in the beginning of the second
half Spokane took the lead. But by
coming in strong in the last few
minutes Pullman won by one point,
the final score being 81 to 20. The
game at Medical Lake was not so
close, being won by a score of 80 to
II. The team will play Colfax at
that place tonight, which will be the
last game before the tournament.

Pullman VIII See That All Destitute
Citizens Are Provided for Prompt
ly and Well

A meeting was held in the base
ment of the Methodist church Tues
day evening to take steps to form an
Associated Charities organization.
Rev. Brumblay was chosen president,
and G. A. Bingaman secretary.
Mr.. Harrison, chairman of the
social welfare committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, stated the ne
cessity of the meeting by citing sew
eral cases in need of charity, reported
to the social welfare committee.
Rev. Brumblay pointed out the
need, as did also Professor Waller,
and the latter cited incidents of the
past to show the necessity OF wise dis
tribution of charity to eliminate
waste. Suggestions were made by
Professor Waller and j. N. Emerson
regarding the plans for such an or
ganization. They thought that the
committee should include representa-
hyes from each Of the churches, the
fTaternal organizations in the city,
and also all of the doctors.
Professor Waller moved that a
committee of five be selected to size
up the situation and to formulate and
execute plans for the establishm ent
of system of organized charity to
meet the needs of the city. The fol-
lowing committee was named: c..
II. Harrison, Robert Brumblay, O..
l.. Waller, Mrs. Duthie, Mrs
Downen.
The committee at once went into
session and recommended that the
proposed committee include the
doctors of the city, pastors of the
churches, and the following repre-
sentatiyes of organizations:
Baptist Church-Mrs. Heater.
Christian Church-Prof. Isaacs.
Christian Science Church-Mrs.
Sanders.
Congregational Church Mrs.

School
Prof. RalstOn Dangerously Ill

Prof. w. e. Ralston of the veter-
mary department of the w. s. c. is
in very critical condition and thus
far the physicians have been unable
to positively diagnose his malady. He
was attacked by sensation of numb
ness in his arms and legs on Febru-
airy Is, but said nothing about it
and continued to go about his work
till last Sunday, when severe pains
developed across his abdomen, and
the lower part of his body became
paralyzed. DR.. Campbell, his physi-
clan, called DR.. Semple of Spokane in
consultation and they are inclined to
believe that the trouble has been
caused by the breaking of a blood
vessel in the spinal column. They
consider the condition of their pa
ticnt to be serious, but have hope Of
his complete recovery.

PRESENT WINTER
A RECORD BREAKER
!, Point of Low Temperature and
Heavy Snow Fall 1t Is in "a Glass
BY Itself

The impression current among the
oldtimers of the Palouse country that
the present winter has been the hard
est in point of heavy snowfall and
cold weather in the memory of the
mesent generation is, for the last 20
years at least, substantiated by the
Weather records of the State Expert
ment Station.
The average temperature for the
month of January, 1918, was 23.15
degrees above zero. Only two win
tprs since the founding of the State
College in 1890 show colder weather
than this, for January. Those years
we're 1902, the average temperature
for January being 22.S degrees; and
1907, the January average being 20
degrees.
The present February has broken
all existing records for cold weather,
the average being Is degrees above
zero. The coolest February record
ed heretofore was in 1894, the aver
age being 20 degrees above zero.
The snowfall record at present ex-
ceeds by one inch the heaviest fall
Of snow recorded at the experiment
station. 1t is So inches, against Ga
inches in 1904. The heavy snow of
1904 was unnoticed, however, for
thaWing followed each snow, prevent
ing deep accumulations. This year.
exceptional in this respect to the
whole period of the records, the snow
stayed on, Forty-eight inches fell
last January. In 1904, nine inches
OF the 81 recorded fell in March; so
that there is now good chance for
~ inches of snow in the Palouse
country before crops are sown.
The average of IS degrees for the
present February is 10 degrees under
me average for 20 years at the sta
ton; and the January average
8l5 degrees-is five degrees under
NE January average for the same
period
IT shows" says Professor C. C.
lhom, who is in charge of the wealth
er records, that if we get the pre-
epltation, the country will be prac-
ucaily the same in respect to it's
mean temperature as any other in
iand locality of the same longitude"

SCARCITY OF FUNDS
IS CHIEF HANDICAP
Figures Show That Many Students
Leave College to Earn Money to
Complete Courses

Every year and from every insti-
tuition there is more or less loss of
students, temporary or permanent.
Some fail, some are sent away for
the general good, some are Ill, some
run out of money and some have
heart failure. Professor M. X. Akers,
the proctor of Ferry Hall, the
dormitory for men, has just complet-
ed an interesting cansus of the Hall
on this point. Thus far, this year,
"a students have left the Hall. Of
whom 10 went into fraternities or
outside clubs, and "a have left col
lege. OF the "a who left college,
58.4 per cent did so on account of
lack of funds; 12.5 per cent--or
three students--for reasons connect
ed with the college; 1877 per cent
for miscellaneous reasons, and 1913
per cent unaccounted for.
OF the three leaving for reasons
connected with the college, one COM
planned that he was required to take
too much languages, and would go
to the University of Washington. A
second went home because he could
not get the subjects desired. and the
third went home, saying that he
would perhaps go to the U. Of W.
next year. A majority of those leav-
Ing for lack of funds will be back
next year

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
There have been multiplying evil
dences that Nature, however gen
erous she may have been to Will
lam Jennings Bryan in the be-
stowal Of her gifts, never intended
him to occupy the position Of Sec
rotary Of State in the Cabinet OF
the President Of the United States.
This is a post, above all Others
which requires unusual tactfulness,
knowledge of the usages Of diplo-
macy, and a keen and delicate
sense Of the fitness Of things.
Many persons, who have no de-
sire to be unfair to Mr.. Bryan,
have gravely doubted whether he
possessed any Of these quahhca-
lions, and his latest announce
ment that he proposes to lay down
the duties Of his high office for six
weeks In order to devote that time
to a profit-making tour Of the
Chautauqua lecture circuit VIII

From the Clepeland Leader. }

From the ClevelGnd LEADER
Affairs in Mexico, If not in
Washington, appear to be in a con-
dition requiring careful handling.
The President has returned to the
capital from his Summer holiday.
Utmost solicitude for national in
terests would seem to necessitate
the presence of the head Of the De-
partment of State. Instead, we see
him far away addressing Chautau-
qua audiences under the stern com
pulsion Of necessity-tne homely,
universal necessity Of earning
living.
Secretary Bryan should now go
a step further in candor and tell
the people how much it will cost
them to engage his entire atten-
ton to their affairs.

Uncle Sam and the
High Cost of Grape Juice.

From the Chicago Daily NesDs.)
As for the compulsion, the eco
nomIc urge, that ostensibly drives
Mr.. Bryan to this course, it should
cause Uncle Sam to feel a measure
Of remorse or some similar emo
ton. 1t is probable that he is not
paying his chief lieutenants enough.
Possibly he has been too busy to
consider the high cost of grape

"A Dangerous Man-Why
Did He Enter Cabinet?"

From the Boston TraUeler.)
As a leader Of the plain people,
standing on the outside and telling
what ought to be done, william
Jennings Bryan was for years in
class by himself. As a Cabinet Off
cial who is leaving grave duties to
be attended to by his subordinates,
while he explains that he must lee
ture in order that his annual in
come may not fall below a speci-
fed total, he is a melancholy figure.
He is more than that-he Is a dan
gerous man.
Why did Bryan enter the Cabi-
net? Why is he remaining there?
The Attorney General discredited
himself In the California matter.
The Secretary of State Is doing
more than that-he is discrediting
the country. He should resign or
