EARLY MORNING BLAZE

DR.. E. Mcguire proved the man
OF the hour" early Tuesday morning
when, with the assistance of his gar
den hose, he kept fire in the kit
chen of the DuVall house on College
hill in check until the city hose cart
reached the scene. The fire started
from an overheated range or defect
i've flue and, with a heavy wind
blowing, might have caused much
damage except for the early appear
ance upon the scene of DR.. Mcguire,
whose residence adjoins the DuVall
property. The flames were confined
to the kitchen and the damage was
reduced to a minimum.

Many matters of importance came
before the city council in its meet
ing Tuesday evening and the city
fathers spent several hours in the
interests of municipal welfare. E.
F. Emmick was granted license to
conduct motion picture theatre in
the new Jackson building, but his
application for a refund of unearned
license money On his former permit
was refused.
Mrs. Ira D. Cardiff and Mrs. V. r..
Hayward appeared before the coun-
ell in the interest of the city parks
and secured the promise of Mayor
Jackson that he will appoint an Of
fetal park committee at the next
meeting. The ladies we're also as
sured that the money in the park
fund would be used for no other
purpose than the improvement and
maintenance Of the city parks.
The committee appointed to con-
fer with officials of the O.-W. r. &
N. Co. in regard to the improvement
of the property on Kamiaken street,
between the two railroad tracks, re-
ported that the O.-W. r. & N. Co., in
its estim ate on the work, had made
no provision for a part OF the pro-
posed improvement, but that an
agreement had since been reached
whereby the company will improve
the entire district, the city to pay
one-fifth the cost.
The committee on lights was in
structed to have the Washington
Water Power company install con-
Quits in the concrete posts Of the
new bridge.
One OF the most lengthy ordi-
nances ever considered by the coun-
eli was that establishing sidewalk

OFFICERS NAMED
FOR CITY ELECTION
Contests for offices Unlikely in
Annual Election of December
7-Registration Books
Closed Wednesday

Little interest is manifested in the
general city election to be held on
Tuesday, December Z, and it is i'm

registration books closed Wednes-
day, with less than half the voting
population qualified for the munich
pal election. The official ballots
will bear the names of the candi-
dates who were nominated at the
primary election of last week, and
no rumors are current of dark
horse" sticker candidates.

the council Tuesday evening as fol-

mented by a goodly supply of rice
and vegetables, found their way into
the huge pot and were cooked to a

Offer Is Approved

Action was taken on the offer at
once. The proposition was put be-
fore the faculty committee on ath-
letics and wa sapproved, with the
provision that the eastern team Sc
lected must be one of high standing.
A special meeting of the athletic
council called at 1870 Monday after
noon. was held and there the propo-
sition was approved with the same
provision as that added by the fac
ulty committee. A telegram request
ing additional information from the
Pasadena officials brought the fol-
lowing reply:
J. F. Boiler, Washington State Col
lege, Pullman, Wash.
Telegram to Mr.. Kienholz received.

ton State College to represent the

Signed: L. H. Turner, president
Tournament of Roses; R. c. Barlow,
secretary; w. S. Kienholz, charm an.
Contract Is Signed
The contract governing the contest
was prepared in Pullman Tuesday
afternoon, was signed by the Off
Gals and sent at once to the Pasa-
dena management by Athletic
Director ]. F. Boiler. The contract
calls for the payment of all expenses
of squad of % men by the man
agement of the tournament. 1t also
provided that the men shall have all
expenses paid in Pasadena for
week in advance of the game.
The designation of the Washing
ton State College team as the best
on the Pacific coast and the prompt
acceptance of the offer by the coach
and the college officials, signifying
willingness to meet all corners, has
aroused much enthusiasm among the
students. Probably the college shall
receive more advertising from the
game than has fallen to it by any
other means. The expenses of the
game are estimated in advance at
about $4,000 and an attendance of
1000 persons is predicted by many.
That the game will attract thousands
of eastern visitors at the two big
fairs and thousands of winter tour
lists seems assured.
Wednesday morning word was re-
ceived that the Brown university
team had been selected to oppose
Washington State College in the big
game and that the Brown officials
had agreed to the game. Some dis
appointment was felt because 1t had
been hoped that a stronger team
would be named. Cornell or Pitts
burg would have made the game
much more important and the con-
test, with either of those teams play
ing the w. S. c. warriors, would have
made tn game a real United States
championship affair. Ten days ago
Brown beat Yale to 0, but lost last
Saturday to Harvard, 16 to Z. In
all probability the game will be the
best exhibition that has ever been
played between eastern and western
teams.

How TO Wash Wells.

As a rule. only the very light and
white wells are washed, but many wo-
men, knowing how quickly dust set
ties. make a practice of washing all
wells. First be sure that the basin is
very clean. Use lukewarm water and
a small amount of CASTLE or other fine
soap. Don't rub the veil. but move it
around in the soapy water. The action
OF the soap and water will thoroughly
clean it. Rinse in several changes Of
lukewarm water and squeeze out the
last rinsing by a simple pressure Of the
hands. Do not wiring the veil and do
not squeeze it too hard. Lay it out
fiat on a towel to dry. If the darker
wells are not washed they should be
shaken each time they are worn and
brushed with a velvet brush.
