years ago with this purpose in view,

indeed, but one which does not fit
well into the general plan of beauti-
flying which is favored i'll the pres
ent development OF the institution.
Already the tunnel leading down the
hill to the site of the new concrete
coal bunkers is finished, and is top
ped with concrete pavement which
breaks over the steep slope down to
the new bunkers. Workmen and
students, passing between these two
structures hereafter will not be COM
PEELED to wade through a consider
able depth of mud as heretofore. The
tram car IS dispensed with, obviating
a certain elem ent of danger in the
handling of large quantities of fuel
by this means.
The agricultural building is to be
located on a spot just past the pres
lent College Hall, on the site formerly
occupied by the Students Hospital,
which has been moved farther east.
The location of this building is
deemed the most advantageous of
any of the buildings, in point of
prominence and convenience to the
whole college community. 1t stands
midway between the farm buildings
barns, stock payilions, dairy, me-
chanical engineering structures, etc.
and the quadrangles farther west.

lpus, thus surrounding the hill, COM

ton. There is no doubt that James
Wilson Hall is destined to become
the pride of the institution, as it's
use deserves.

The period of comparative mac
tiVity in building operations on the
college campus, which followed the
completion of the large buildings OBJ

activity in building operations. At

but will be distributed throughout a
longer period of time.
The change which will be wrought
in the appearance of the campus upon
the completion of these two build
ings, each one in conspicuous loca-
ton, and of beautiful design, will be
a surprise to old timers who visit the
college hereafter, having in mind the
appearance of the campus in their
day. The Mechanic Arts building

What seems a more feasible plan, al

build a dam across the river at about

putting in a concrete foundation car

washing out the mud that would col

Hustling Coach Says That Football
Prospects at w. 5. G. Are Bright
This Year

Johnny Bender is wearing a con-
tented smile these days and ex-
presses himself as well sat sfied with
the prospects for strong football
team at the w. S. c. this fall. THE
outlook is SO per cent brighter than
last year. says the hustling coach.
Then many of the players were new
men and the veterans were new to
me- | had to size them up and they
had to learn my methods and style
of playing"
This fall it will be different,
most of last years team will be
back, They know what | want and
know what they can do, and we
can work together to advantage.
There is a lot of prom sing new ma
terial coming in this fall to fill the
vacancies and plug up the weak
places, and am confident that we
will have a team that WI deliver
the goods. With Shorty Harter at
center and Joe Harter and Art Golf
as guards, we will have three heavy
and experienced men, averaging 200
pounds, in the center of the line.
They are good at offense and will
make a stone wall at defense. APP
plequist VIII be back to play tackle
again and VIM. Mcdonald, a former
star of the Broadway high school of
Seattle; w. Hinchliff and Fred
Glover, who did such good work on
the Pullman high school team; Neil
Allen, captain of the Grants Pass,
Ore, h gh school team; R. L, Shaw,
heavy and experienced player who
be on hand to try for tackle positions.
For ends, Dietz and Tyrer will be
back, but they will have to go some
to keep ahead of Hamilton, the Pull
man high school star; George
Meaney, who used to be one of the
best players ever at Colfax high
school, and several other men who
will enroll this fall,
Il have a wealth of good material
for the back field For quarterback,
Dee Gaddis, Norman Moss, Abrams
of Spokane and several others will
make pretty race For half backs
and fullback, we will have Captain
Coulter, Foster, Tweed, Satterwaite
and several other men who showed
up well last year There is also a
good prospect of securing two or
three new fellows who have made a
reputation by their fine work back
of the line. In Moss we will have
first class punter and drop kicker,
who will be useful either in the
backfield or at end.
"With such material to work with,
I am confident that w. S. G. Will
have a team of which the college
will be proud"

PLAN IMPROVEMENTS
TO WATER SYSTEM
City Council Sets Aside $500 for
Purchase of Lot ON Which to
Bore Artesian WelI-Entire
New System Planned

The hopes of the people of Pull
man that the water system would be
improved were materially strength
ened last Friday when the city coun-
Gil set aside the sum of $500 for the
purpose of purchasing the lot just
north of the Alton hotel on which it
is planned to bore new we'll and
build concrete pump house,
equipped with a powerful electric
pump. A large concrete settling tank
about 30 feet deep will be construct
ed on the site of the new well, and
into this will be piped the water
from the two present wells which
supply city water. This, together
with the flow from the new well, will
be amply sufficient to supply the de-
mands of the water consumers for
years to come, and the settling tank
Will alleviate the trouble which has
been encountered recently through
sand rising in the wells. The new
well will be of either eight or IL
inch bore, and will tap the vein which
now supplies the Alton hotel we'll.
For several years the water supply
from the two city wells has been in
adequate, and with the city pumps
hot months it has been necessary to
pump water into the city mains from
the college we'll by the use of the
college pumping plant to avert
water famine. This overtaxing of
the wells has caused the sand to rise.
The cost of the proposed improve
ment to the water system has been
variously estimated at from $500
to 5000, and it will be necessary
the expense connected with the Inn
provement. The cost of supplying
the city with water during July OF
this year was well over $500, which
included the cost of operating the
city pumps nearly full time and the
college pump about four hours each
day. 1t is thought that the new
system would greatly reduce this
cost and that it would pay for itself
in few years.
The water committee of the coun-
ell has been empowered to secure
eetim ates on the cost of boring the
new we'll, installing the large set
Ting tank, building the pump house
and installing the new pump, and all
other incidentals in connection with
the improvement. These estimates
will be presented to the council at
its next meeting and in all proba-
bllity action on the matter VIII be
taken at that time.
