MRS. MARY SHIRLEY

The funeral service of Mrs. Mary
7. R. Shirley was held at the Chris
tian church last Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock The services were con-
Quoted by the minister of the church,
who was assisted by Rev. Totten and
Rev. Caughlan. Owing to the fact
that one of the sons did not arrive
until Sunday night, the body was
kept until Monday morning, then
laid to rest in the South Side ceme-
terry.
Mrs. Shirley was one of the pio-
neers of Pullman and we'll known to
all the citizens. Her life was an open
book and those who knew her loved
her, as was attested by the large
number of friends, many of them
pioneers, who paid their last respects
at the services.

WHITMAN COUNTY MAN
DELIVERS THE GOODS

\. W. Perley special representa-
tive OF the O.-W. r. & ~, was in
Pullman last week. Mr. Perley is
we'll known in Whitman county, hav-
ing formerly been a locomotive en-
gineer with headquarters at Tekoa.
Later he was given the position Of
inspector of tracks and railroad
equipment by the state public selv-
ice commission, and rendered very
valuable and efficient services, until
removed by Governor Hay on the
ground of pernicious political activ-
1ty. He was at once offered his pres
ent position by the O.-W. r. & n.
Co. and has been deyoting his efforts
to studying and inauguratirg meth
DDS of increasing the safety and eff
ficiency of the service of that line
and curtaiing its expenses.
A thoroughly practical man, know
ing by experience the dangers and
needs of railroad employees and the
problems of railroading, he has
wrought many important reforms
and has fostered a spirit of co-opera-
ton between the officials of the COM
pany and the employees, which has
brought about very beneficial results.
Recently he made an exhaustive
study of firing and by imparting and
demonstrating his conclusions to the
firemen on the line, succeeded in re-
ducing the coal bills of the company
many thousands of dollars per
month. He made good as an engin-
eer, he made good in his work for
the state and he is making good in
his present position and has gained
the confidence of the public as we'll
as of the railroad Officials and en-
ployes.

QUARTETTE
At HIGH SCHOOL
Renowned Singers and Players Will
Appear in High School Auditor
ium January III

Probably the best attraction ever
offered at the high school auditor
ium will be that of January II, 1915,
when the renowned Amphion singers
and players will appear. The Am
phion Quartette occupies an enviable
position in the lyceum world. Each
member is an artist in his own right,
resulting in perfect balance to the
entire ensemble. 1t is a vocal and
instrumental quartette which has
pleased its audiences wherever it has
appeared, as attested by the words
of commentator contained in press
dispatches from all parts of the
United States A few of these notices
are here given:
Seldom does a company OF en-
tertainers succeed in eliciting the
gratifying expressions of favor that
were accorded the Amphion Quar-
tette. There were no insipd feat
ures whatever in their program and
that alone was worth the price of
season ticket -- Talmage (Nebr.)
Tribune.
The Amphion Quartette in the en-
tertainment given here showed them
selves to be the peer of any now en-
tertaining in the west. They were
more than excellent in the richness
and harmonious control of their
voices. Daily Gazette, Lawrence.
Kansas.
1t has been a pleasure to COM
mend repeatedly the work of these
singers. The Amphions have won
their audiences everywhere, not only
by their beautiful work in music but
also by their good jolly fellowship
with the people across the footlights
whom they entertain. - Sedalia

The Amphion Quartette made an
other hit and the people just couldn' t
get enough of them last night They
are winners and the Chautauqua

WILL DEMONSTRATE
SMUT EXPLOSIONS
Interesting Feature of Wheat Con-
vention VIII BE Practical Demon
stration of Smut Explosion

One of the interesting features of
the program for the wheat conven-
ton which will be held January 3,
and T. will be Mr.. Geo. A. Olson's
demonstration of a smut explosion.
Smut explosions last summer caused
the loss of nearly 800 threshing ma
chimes in Eastern Washington. AT
the time of an explosion, the flames
starting at some not always known
point in the machine, would flash
with a mighty puff through the ma
chine. Tongues Of fire often shot
from the apertures in the side of the
machine and burned workmen stand
ing near. The latter feared to accept
employment on the machines,
threshermen began to pull in, insur-
ance companies refused the risk,
and in general, feeling of uncer-
tainty spread through the wheat
growing regions, as to the future of
the industry. The State College re-
sponded to urgent calls by putting
eight scientists at work on the prob
lem, and set aside all projects upon
which these experts had previously
been working. Mr.. Olson at once de-
termned the explosive qualities of
smut dust. He used glass
cannon" connected it up with an
electric current, and was able to ex-
plode the smut under circumstances
permitting the onlooker to see ex-
actly what it does at this time. A
handful of the smut dust exploded
with loud report, the flame shoot
ing almost to the ceiling of the lab
oratory. This smut exploding dem
onstration promises TO be one of the
very interesting things which will be
explained

PULLMAN DAIRYMAN
HAS MILKING MACHINE
L.. II. Moore Adds Latest Improve
ments and Gets Machinery To DO
His Milking

L. L. Moore, proprietor of the I'm
perial Dairy. has recently modern
lied his establishment, which is
located just east of Pullman, by the
installation of an up-to- date milk
ing machine, which does the work
of several men, and does it quicker
and better. To the novice, uniniti-
ated in modern dairy methods, a
milking machine is quite curiosity
and as this is the only machine of
its kind in operation near Pullman.
many business men and farmers have
availed themselves of the opportun-
ity to watch the machine work. The
mixer is operated on the vacuum
principle, and long pipe runs the
entire length of the dairy barn, con
Meeting with the vacuum tank, from
which the air is pumped by electric
motor power The pipe which con
veys the vacuum to the stalls, is
tapped between each two stalls. and
the milking machine is attached at
the tap. Metal cups, inside of which
are rubber nipples held in place by
the vacuum, are placed on each
of the four teats of the
COW and the milk is drawn by
spurts through tubes, which connect
with large receptacle Two COWS
are MIXED at the same time. and the
time consumed is much less than
would be required under the old
hand method. The machine milks
naturally, and no trouble was expert
enced in getting the cows acquainted
with their new master
Everything connected with the
milking machine is absolutely SAM
tary, and there is no opportunity for
foreign substances to find their way
into the milk pals, even the odor
from the barn being unable to find
its way into the air-tight retainers.
The new machine is an Empire,
and was ainstalled through the b. f.
Campbell agency by Charles S. Hill,
Mr.. Campbell's mechanic. 1t is OBJ
Grated each morning and evening by
Joe Farnsworth, Pullman's pioneer
creamery man, who took to the
mechanism of the new contraption
like duck to water.

PHI UPS|LON GETS
NATIONAL CHARTER
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, National Fra
ternity of Prominence, Enters
State College of Washington

A national charter in Sigma Alpha
Epsilon was the extremely welcome
Christmas present which was re-
ceived Wednesday by the Phi Upsi-
Ion fraternity of the State College.
The good news was contained in a
telegram received Wednesday morn
ing by John r. Bender president of
the local alumni organization of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, from Professor
Il. p. Cope and Tom Tyrer, who are
representing the alumni chapter of
S. a. e, and Phi Epsilon fraternity,
respectively, at the national conven-
ton of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, which
is being held in Chicago. The news
that the Chicago convention has
looked with favor upon the petition
of Phi Epsilon was received amid
shouts of JOY by the eight Phi u.
men who remained at the college
during the holidays, and the home
guards have been holding high ink
in celebration os the signal honor
which has come to them, their or
ganization and the State College
through the official recognition of
one of the greatest national frater-
mites in existence.
1t is probable that the new ma
tional chapter will be instituted,
with appropriate exercises, soon after
the holidays.
The Phi Epsilon fraternity was or
ganized December 8, 1908, and has
petitioned the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fraternity three times: at the Kan
sas City convention in 1910, at the
Nashville convention in 1912, and |
at the Chicago convention in 1914, |
when the petition was granted. The |
local has Ia active members, six
pledges and % alumni members.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon frater-
nifty was organized at the University
of Alabama in 1856 and is the old
est fraternity organized in the south.
At the present time it has 10 active
chapters and 5000 mem bers. 1t is
one of the greatest really national |
fraternities having chapters in every |
section of the United States and it's
entrance at the State College of |
will mark a distinct adj
vance in the fraternity life of the
college.
