BASKET BALL GAME
THIS AFTERNOON
First Contest for the intercollegiate
Championship VIII Be Played
With u. of /. Team

The w. s. C. basket ball team will
play the first game in the series for
the intercollegiate championship in
the college gymnasium this after
noon at 400 o'clock. Their oppon-
ents will be the fast five from the
University of Idaho, which is a guar
antee that the game will be hard
fought and full of pep" as there is
always something doing when these
old rivals meet In any form of ath-
Ietic contests.
AS yet no one has any line on the
comparative strength of the teams.
Coach Boiler has been developing
some promising new material and
the local basket ball experts seem to
think that w. S. C. has consider
ably better team than last year.
Probably a number of men will be
tried out In this first game and the

High School Won Game

Pullman high school scored an
other big victory last Friday evening
when the basket ball team defeated
the crack representatives OF the
Lewis and Clark high school of Spo-
kane by a score of 90 to Is.
The game was fast and exciting
from the start and during the first
half neither team could secure a
lead. Toward the end of the last
half the locals speded up and forged
to the front, securing lead which
the visitors could not overcome, al
though they made desperate rally
in the last few minutes of play The
Spokane boys eXcelled in passing the
ball, but Buffers speed and his ac-
curacy in throwing goals was too
much for them.

A Small Blaze

fire, caused by defective flue,
broke out last Thursday morning in
the room occupied by A. d. Baum S
music store. The flames were soon
eXtinguished, but considerable dam
age was done by smoke to the stock
and to the contents of the adjoining
office of the Downen Realty Co. All
the pianos were covered, and only
one of them was scorched. The loss
has been satisfactorily adjusted and
as soon as the building is repaired
Mr.. Baum will be ready for business

LOCAL POSTOFF|CE
MAKES GOOD RECORD
Large Increase In Receipts Over 1911
and Corresponding Gain in the
Registry and Money Order
Departments

The close of 1912 marked a very
successful and prosperous year in the
affairs of the local postoffice, and
this must be taken as an indication
of the prosperous condition of the
community.
For the year closed December 81.
1912, the office shows an increase in
receipts OF $1211 over the total of
the preceding year, OF nearly 10 per
cent. In view of the fact that many
offices throughout the state show
losses, this concerning our own office
Is noteworthy That the increase in
no sense was produced by unnatural
conditions is borne out by the faci
that proportional increases in all
other departments were made, par
ticularly in the money order and reg
istry business. Two hundred and
forty-nine more parcels were reg
istered, about 1900 more money
orders were issued and 900 more paio
than during the preceding IL
months. No circumstances aside
from the natural demands made by
generally healthy business conditions
called for sales of stamped paper in
large quantities.
Immediately following this sue
cessful period in the ordinary scope
OF postal affairs has come the inaug-
uration of the parcels post system
which from every indication locally
ia to become one of the most useful
institutions of the government serY-
ice. The brief period of one week
operation of this new feature OF

elusive proof that the parcels post
business will grow TO magnitude FAR

Don't Waste Water

During the recent cold snap so
many people have let the water run
all night to prevent its freezing in
the pipes that it has been impossible
to keep a supply in the reservoir,
even by running the pump night and
day. The city authorities have de-
cided to take vigorous measures to
prevent this waste and will prosecute
anyone in whose house the water is
found running at night.

NEW CITY COUNCIL MEETS

The members of the new city coun-

announced the following committee
appointments.

The mayor also delivered his mes
sage to the council, which was as fol-
lows:
To the Members of the City Council
of Pullman, Wash:
Gentlemen:
In assuming the duties and re-
sponsibilities OF mayor of this city
for a second term, | desire at the
outset to give expression to my high
appreciation OF the honor that the
citizens of Pullman have accorded
me. construe it, not merely as an
expression of satisfaction in any
merit or ability that they may see
III me, but as vote of confidence in
the policies promulgated by the
council that is retiring, and d note of
instruction to its successor to carry
on the same line OF work in the same
pleasant and harmonious manner.
In union there is strength. Things
that are done when strife and bick-
ering are at the helm are not usual
ly done well, and certainly do not
reflect the best that is in u.s. AS SER
wants of the people OF Pullman the
best that lies in us is expected and
should, and l believe will, be given
that our city may take, and ever
hold, its rightful place amongst the
progressive and prosperous cities of
the Inland Empire. AS no one man,
whatever may be his office, can sue
cessfully administer the affairs of a
city such as Pullman, to no one man
can belong the credit and the honor
which has been accorded in my re-
election as mayor. | wish therefore
to place that honor and credit where
1t is mostly due by thanking the re-
firing council, both individually and
collectively, for the many courtesies
shown me during the past year, and
chiefly for the unanimity, harmony
and honest endeavor to do the very
best possible for the people of Pull
man, that characterized its delibera-
tons and actions | can wish moth
ing better than that the relations of
mayor and councilmen throughout
the year upon which we are now en-
tering, may be as cordial and as sin
gle-minded to the interests of the
city as have been those during the
year that has passed into history
AS the merchant takes stock of his
wares before entering on the bust
ness OF New Year that he may

Suage his standing and ascertain the
needs his attention, SO | will present
to you briefly a summary of what
has been accomplished in the past / z
months, that we may the better
understand what lies before us to be
completed or to be undertaken that
the plan of civic improvement may
ward we'll rounded and satisfactory
completion.
The temporary bridges OF the
DIV. K. Il n. Co., erected after the
flood, have been replaced with suit
able and substantial ones.
The city hall has been painted and
furnished and public scales have
been installed for the convenience of
our citizens.
OF new water mains there has
been laid 1857 feet; also 1910 feet
of new sewer.
Of sidewalks there have been laid
$500 lineal feet of concrete, and
1915 feet of plank walks which
called for SO new cross walks.
A paving contract, covering 1850
square yards, has been let. This
paving is yet under construction.
The light committee has under
consideration plans that will shortly
give TO Pullman as good or better
lighting than any town in the Pa
louise country.
The old warrant Indebtedness has
been reduced and the tax levy has
been cut down from 81 to II mills
Warrants on the current expense
fund are as good today as certifi-
Gates OF deposit in any one of our
banks.
This summary is one of which we
feel proud and with which we be-
lieve those who placed US here are
well satisfied
In outlining my recommendation
for this year | would place first en-
phasis on the crying need for fire
proof vault in which to keep the &C
cumulated and valuable records of
the city.
Quite as important is the extern
sion and improvement of our water
system. The present we'll and pump
are proving inadequate to our grow
ing needs.
julius Caesar left, centuries ago,
many records of his efforts to en-
trench the Roman Empire behind the
bulwarks OF militarism, none of
V hich have been more enduring than
the roads that he caused to be built.
Not on the score of militarism, but
on behalf of the more enduring
PATHS of peaceful progress and as
being conducive to the comfort and
health of our citizens, | call your at
tention in conclusion to the advis-
ability of paving our business streets
and to the rapid extension of paving
into the several residence districts
of our city.
