Frank Dobson was stopping on the
Flambeau river at French Pierres. He
was there for the bass fishing, and had
been having good sport. The small
mouths were biting freely and he had
taken the canoe and a guide down tho
river that morning early to reach some
water where the guide promised some
big fellows, At bend in the stream

and pointed to strip of smooth water

PULLMAN WINS
FROM GENESEE

By a score of % to II, the Pull

Friday evening defeated the fast
Genesee, Idaho, high school team, in
game that was a thriller from start
to finish. The visitors started off
with a rush, and at the close Of the
first half had all the better OF the
game and the big end of the score.
In the second period, however, Price.
Pullman's sensational forward, got
his gait and threw baskets with
regularity that completely bewild-
cred the Genesee aggregation. Price
was by far the best performer for
Pullman and deserves the lion s
share of the glory for the victory
over one of the best teams in the In
land Empire.

titled the show to the hearty support
of the small towns all over the In
land Empire.
f. NJ. Slagle was called upon to
tell about the merits of the split-lOg
drag as a road improver. He urged
the Importance Of improving the
dirt roads of the state and the good
results which could be attained by
dragging them in the right way at
the right time. He advocated the
passage of a state law providing for
compulsory road dragging and read
from the law adopted in Iowa
In discussing Sand Roads Sen
ator Mccoy said that little expert
menting with sanding the roads had
been done in this county because Of
the lack of sand, but that a sand pit
had recently been discovered near
Rocalia He favors thorough expert
ments with the use of this sand. as
he is satisfied that hard surface
oadS are LOO expensive.
Representative Watt was called
upon to respond to the toast, The
School Marms and the Legislature"
and disclaimed any knowledge of the
subject in a humorous reply.
In discussing the subject of need
ed legislation regarding chattel
mortgages, w. o. Straight criticised
the present law which requires a
chattel mortgage to be put on record
within 10 days after it is made in
order to make it valid. He said that
frequently a man taking chattel
mortgage did not care to advertise
the financial EN- barrassment of the
person giving it, by putting it on
file. Senator Hall argued that the
object of requiring chattel mort
cages to be recorded is to protect
other creditors, and that as between
the giver and taker of such a mort
gage, 1T was perfectly valid, whether
recorded or not, but would not take
precedence over the claims of other
creditors unless recorded. He stated
that he favored the present law.
Representative Weldon made a
witty address in which he stated that
he had been so busy answering let
ters from DR.. Archer regarding the
state road that he had had no time
to prepare a speech. He said that in
his opinion the roads question was
one OF the most important which
would come before the legislature

VISIT PULLMAN
AND INSPECT STATE COLLEGE
Question Of Needed Legislation Discussed at
Supper Given by Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday Evening

The members of the Whitman
county legislative delegation visited
Pullman Tuesday and spent the at
ternoon at the college. A luncheon
was served in the domestic science
building at which were present SEN
ators Hall of ColfaX and Mccoy of
Oakesdale, Representatives Wagner
of Rosalia, Weldon of Palouse and
Watt Of Pullman. The college was
represented by President Bryan, Vice
President Waller, Dean Fulmer, DR..
Cardiff, director of the experiment
station, and J. A. Tormey, superin-
tendent of the extension departm ent.
After the lunch President Bryan
gave an exhaustive discussion of the
history, work and needs of the col
lege, deyOting special attention to
the charge that work properly be-
longing to the State University is be-
ing duplicated by the college. Many
questions were asked by the legis-
lators and the entire afternoon was
spent in discussing probable legisla-
ton which will affect the interests
of the institution.
In the evening the visitors were
entertained by the Chamber of Com
merce at a chicken supper, served at
the Tea Room. Prof. Waller acted
as POSTMASTER and first called upon
l.. f. Wenham to tell what he knew
about Branham precinct. Mr.. Wen
ham replied that he knew that this
precinct properly belonged in the
Seventh legislative district instead of
the Eighth, to which it was added
many years ago. The location of the
precinct and the interests of the
people living in it demand that it be
replaced in the Seventh district.
The POSTMASTER called upon Rep
resentative J. II. T. Smith to explain
why he couldn't sleep in Lewiston.
Mr. Smith replied that it was no.

Nhen the government thermom-
eter in the weather Observatory at
the State College Wednesday after
noon registered SO degrees above
zero, the longest continuous freez-
ing spell in the history of the local
observatory was broken. For 12
days, commencing with December II,
the mercury had not been forced
above the freezing point. and had
maintained an average minimum
temperature of II degrees above
zero. The coolest weather recorded
was on December Is and 10, when
the mercury dropped to five degrees
above zero, the maximum for the two
days being IA and % degrees, re-
spectively. The weather records at
the college cover period of Is
years, and the nearest approach in
duration to the cold spell just CON
cluded was in 1897, when, from the
18th to the 21st of December, a per-
iod of seven days, the thermometer
did not register above the freezing
point.
Professor C. C. Thorn, who has
charge of the weather bureau at the
college, attributes the fact that the
mercury has not dropped below zero
to the fog and clouds which have
been in evidence on almost every day
of the protracted freezing weather.
College experts claim that the cold
spell has done but little, if any, dam
age to fall planted crops, due to the
fact that the ground has not frozen
and thawed frequently, but has re-
NAMED frozen during the entire
time, also to the fact that the
weather has not on any day of the
IL been extremely cold.
The last four months of the pres
ent year have been marked by an I'M
usually light moisture precipitation,
with the effect that the plowed
ground in the vicinity of Pullman is
now permeated with moisture TO
depth of only IL inches. During
September, October, November and
December, up to the present date,
the precipitation has been only SOB
inches, while the normal precipita-
ton for that period is 9.16 inches.
Not the smallest fraction of an inch
of precipitation has been recorded
during the present month, while the
average for December is Eat inches.
The total precipitation for the 12-
months period ending September l.
1914, was 1850 inches, as against
a normal for the same period OF
% inches.
