A NOTED PLAY
AT PULLMAN THEATER

THE Wolf" one of the most i'm
portant productions as we'll as one of
the big dramatic successes of the past
several seasons, will be presented at
the Pullman Theater on Tuesday, De-
cember &c. with an all-star cast.
THE Wolf is a romantic drama of
the Hudson Bay fur country in three
acts and three scenes by Eugene
Walter. Mr.. Walter is an author
who strikes hard, and he is said to
handle the story with a directness
that is courageous, but yet does not
offend. The story concerns the veng-
eance wrecked upon an American
civil engineer, who years before the
story opens, had deserted a half
breed girl of the far north. The girl,
Annette, dies in a storm, but in
Montreal there lives a half-brother
who has promised his dying father to
search for her. He discovers that
Mcdonald is the man who wronged
her. The resulting duel makes a
thrilling climax.

POULTRY SHOW OFF
DAIRY COW SHOW ON

The members of the Chamber of
Commerce enjoyed an oyster supper
Tuesday evening served by the ladies'
OF the Congregational church The
poultry show committee recommend
ed that the idea of holding a show
this year be abandoned for the rea-
son that dates have been fixed for
shows to be held in a number of
Learby towns and it would be impos-
sible to hold show here without
conflicting with these dates. The
recommendation was accepted and
the committee instructed to make ar
engagements at the proper time to
hold show next winter.
f. e, Sanger suggested that
dairy COW show be held in the
spring. He called attention to the
rapid development and uniform sue
cess of the dairying industry around
Pullman and argued that it should
be encouraged as a part of the cam
p&ign to induce the farmers to raise
more live stock. The following com
mittee was appointed to investigate
and report on the perfect: f. e.

MILITARY CAMP

President Bryan and Lieutenant
c. II. Bennett were in Spokane Sat
urday and discussed with representa-
tiNes of the Chamber of Commerce
and regular army officers the pro-
posed military camp to be held next
year in conjunction with the land
grant colleges. President Bryan
urged that when the student goes
into camp he should be placed on the
same basis as the national guards
man, who has his expenses, rations,
uniform and equipment paid by the
state, whereas the student has to
pay all such costs himself.

COUNCIL KILLS PAVING
! OF BUSINESS STREETS
BY Vote of -Four to One City Council
Heeds Protests of Property
Owners in Proposed Down
town District

Resolution No. 256, which declared
the intention of the city fathers to
improve by paving several streets in
the downtown section, came to
naught last Tuesday evening, when,
by vote of four to one, the council
men needed the remonstrance of n
number of property owners and voted
down motion to proceed with the
improvement. The district in Ques-
ton includes parts of Grand, Main.
Alder and Olson streets, and the re-
monstrance was bulky one, al
though large number of the signers
were non-residents. Following the
reading of the remonstrance Council
man Sanborn, in order to get the
matter before the council, moved that
the city proceed with the improve
ment. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Sanger, and the vote
which followed found Councilman j.
M. Palmerton alone as favoring the
paving in spite of the protests, while
Councilman Nye, Sanborn, Lawler
and Sanger voted no.
The much mooted Maiden Lane i'm
provement district came up for con-
sideration for the third time and was
again postponed, this time being laid
on the table until February II. Tues
day evening was the time set for the
hearing of protests against the pro-
posed improvement of West Main
street, from Grand street to the city
limits, and 10 property owners, repre-
senting a total frontage of 260l feet,
demonstrated against the improve
ment as planned by the council The
majority of the petitioners do not OBJ
Ject to the Improvement of the street,
but favor the paving under the arter-
iai highway law, passed by the last
legislature, under which the county
bears a part of the expense for the
Improvement of main avenues leading
into a city. In case it is found i'm
possible to proceed under this plan,
the property owners may withdraw
their remonstrance and bid the coun-
Gil proceed on its own way. West
Main street is, during the greater
part of the year, in a deplorable con-
dition and is the street which was
the subject of a resolution recently
passed by the members of Evansville
Grange, demanding that the highway
be improved.

WORK PROGRESSING
ON ROGERS FIELD
VIII BE Put in First Glass Condition
Tor the Big Conference Meet Next
Spring

The work of improving Rogers
tIeld is progressing steadily. The
halt-mile circular track has been sur
Veyed and the cinders to be used in
Its construction are being hauled.
There will be a 220-yard straight
away track, 80 feet wide. with the
finish at the east end of the field in
front of the old grand stand. The
drains across the field have been put
III and the lateral drains will be in
stalled as rapidly as the weather will
permit. Work on the field will be
continued through the winter so as
to have the field in first class condi-
ton by May 8, the date of the field
meet with Idaho. The final touches
will be put on for the big conference
meet on May 20. Students are now
constructing eight flights of hurdles.
Another improvement which is
under consideration is the construc-
ton of a big indoor training shed
with an earth floor for the use of
track men and the football squad.
Idaho and O. A. c. already have such
sheds, which give a decided advant-
age to their athletes. 1t would make
possible spring football practice,
which proved fizzle here last year
on account of the unfavorable
weather and would put an end to the
necessity of practicing on side hill
in the late fall, when the regular
field is too wet for use. 1t is under
stood that the Associated Students
are ready to make a substantial con-
tributiOn from their funds for the
construction of the shed.

RAILING BREAKS
SEVERAL INJURED
Spectators Fall From Balcony i'm New
High School Gymnasium to the
Floor Ten Feet Below

A serious accident occurred at the
gymnasium of the new high school
building last Saturday evening. The
basket ball team was playing a game
with the college 'preps' and the bal
cony was crowded with spectators.
In their excitement they pressed
AGAINST the balcony railing, the mid
die section of which gave way and
II of them were hurled to the floor
10 feet below. Two high school
girls, Pearl Price and Grace Hays,
we're rendered unconscious by the
fall and sustained severe bruises,
Miss Maude Hamlton's left wrist
was broken and Clarence Shoff and
A, Richardson, college students, were
seriously cut and bruised The acct
dent caused much excitement and II
was at first feared that some of the
victims had been dangerously In
jured. The Hays girl vomited blood
fol several hours, which gave rise to
rumors that she had suffered inter-
nal injuries, but at last reports she is
getting along nicely, as are all the
others.
Parties who inspected the broken
railing allege that it was constructed
in such way as to be entirely too
weak to serve the purpose for which
II was intended. A new railing will
be installed, strong enough to guard
against any repetition of the acct
dent.

Dr. Egge's Theories on Paving

doctor says, That is true. it would
work hardship on a few. But shall
we always wait until every single one
is ready? If so, how long will we
wait? Forever. The truth is, abut-
ting property must be considered alb
stractly and not the individuals who
own it, There are persons who own
two or more lots to whom it would
be an advantage to sell one and i'm
prove the others. 1t is always open
to dispose of high priced property by
sale or rental in the region where
improvement is necessary and move
to back street or remote corner
of the town at lower cost and the
property will readily take care of the
improvement and yield a surplus.
The non-residents are always and
everywhere against any improve
ment. They will hold for speculative
increase, or will absorb the rentals
year in and year out, caring nothing
for the welfare of the community.
and only fattening off it. While in
two or three cases, the surfacing of
the business streets would work a
hardship on persons i'll able to afford
the expense, the majority of the bust
ness property belongs to non-residents
who for years and years have been
draining the community and putting
nothing back Nearly all of the bust
ness property which is owned by local
people could easily stand the added
cost of paving. Not so much of it
would be held in non-productive form
if this were done.
We must not forget how much ac-
tiyity in paving adds to the life and
prosperity of our laboring and bust
ness community while it is going on,
how attractive it is to the stranger
who is considering a location, how
much it adds to our comfort and
happiness, how much it increases the
value of property in general, what a
help it is in making this a great edu-
catiOnal center, and how necessary it
ia to do the work 50 completely that
muddy side streets do not destroy
what we have already done.
When men want to defeat a good
cause, they try to get signers to a
petition 1t is great human weak
ness that we cant refuse to sign if
somebody asks us to do so. There
are a thousand petty appeals to
divide and divert the people. One
wants the front street, but doesn t
want the side street Another wants
a different kind of pavement. An
other thinks it ought to be put off
till next spring. Another doesn't
know whether it is going to wear five
years and wants to wait and see.
Another pities a neighbor who is
uP against it. The forces against any
good proposition may always defeat
it if they can be gotten together.
Why not lay all these petty little
things aside and join together, even
at a sacrifice, in lettering condi-
tons?

COLLEGE CATTLE
WON HIGH HONORS
At the Pacific International Live
Stock Exposition Held in Port
land December S-13

With the approval of President
Bryan and Professor Severance the
animal husbandry division of the
Washington State College exhibited
the car of yearling steers which have
been fed at the college this fall and
also eight head of individual steers
and three head of breeding cattle
from the college herd at the Pacific
International Live Stock Exposition
at Portland December 8-13.
The carload of yearling steers won
second prize in their class and 1925
it, cash.
The individual steers won five rib
bons and 800 in cash.
The three head of breeding cattle
one Angus COW, one Hereford COW
and one Hereford bull-won three
ribbons, one champion and one grand
champion, as we'll as $50 in cash.
Altogether the college exhibit
gathered in nine ribbons, one cham
pton, one grand champion, and 1905
in cash.
The premiums won practically
paid the expense of showing, thus
giving the public an opportunity to
see the college stock and at the same
time bringing the institution to their
attention.
Herdsman Shumate has been in
charge of the stock and returned
with them on Tuesday night. Every
animal came back in first class con-
dition. At Portland Professor
Ashby sold five head of steers from
the show herd, the average price be-
ing a little above $40 per head.
The w. S. c. stock judging team
participated in the students judging
contest at the Portland show and
were awarded third place in a very
closely contested affair. Out of a
possible 5000 points
w. S. c. scored. 1881
o. A. G. scored .2346
Idaho scored ..2351h
Utah scored ......2248B
Schnebly of the w. S. c. team
made the highest individual score OF
the contest and an Oregon man was
second.
Schnebly was also high man in the
Lewiston contest a week earlier,
where the w. S. G. team won by a
safe margin.
Professor Ashby accompanied the
team to Portland and took the boys
to several of the best stock breeding
farms In Oregon.
