PULLMAN WHEAT
ESCAPES DAMAGE
Grain Men Say Hot Weather Had No
Ill Effects ON Crop in Pullman
Vicinity-Some Damage in
Lower Country

Little If any damage was done to
the crops in the vicinity OF Pullman
by the hot weather of the past week,
according to experienced grain men
who have made a careful study of
the situation. In places, especially
near rocky roadsides, some little
damage may have been done to
spring wheat and oats, but probably
not enough to offset the advantage
gained by fall sown wheat and bar
ley. which has ripened rapidly. In
the western part of the county
where the spring wheat is farther ad-
yanced than here, considerable dam
age is reported through shriyeling OF
the kernels, but the local spring
wheat was not far enough advanced
to suffer materially and fall grain
was past the danger point when the
hot wave came.
Local prospects continue to indl-
cate an excellent crop, probably a
little above the average, and the
farmers have no reason to lament
the recent hot weather. Experts
claim that the smut percentage Is
considerably less than last year.
which would indicate that the danger
from separator explosions and fires
will be greatly reduced.
]. S. Adams, for several years IN
charge of the Coolidge-McLain farm
west of Pullman, passed through
here this week from an extended
tour of the western part OF the
county. and reports that some
fields in the lower country were
damaged as much as 40 per
cent by the hot weather. A
few headers started operations IN
the western part of the county this
week. and within a few days thresh-
ing will be general in that section
when the exact extent of the dam
age can be ascertained.
Quotations on the new crop nave
not yet been made by local buyers
and the opening price is only mat
ter of conjecture, although cohdl-
'tions would indicate a price OF at
least rs cents for the new wheat an
Increase of 10 cents over the opening
price of last year.
Yesterdays quotations on the old
crop we're as follows:

TWO LADIES INJURED
IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT
Horse Takes Fright at Automobile
and Mrs. NJ. Il. Rucker and Ny,ss
Bertha Polk Are Injured

Mrs. Nj. &. Rucker met with n SER
ious accident last Thursday morning
While on her way to Pullman. On
the hill between the Payne and
Bailey homes, the horse she was
driving became frightened at the E.
f. Gallagher automobile. The ami
mai ran up bank, upsetting the
buggy and throwing Mrs. Rucker and
her niece, Miss Bertha Polk of Har-
rison, Idaho, to the ground. Miss
Polk was severely burised, both
ankles sprained and one knee slight
ly injured, and she received several
cuts upon her face. Mrs. Rucker re-
ceived severe bruises about the head
and shoulders as the wheel of the
buggy ran over her head. The han
die of an umbrella, which Miss Polk
was carrying, pierced the left eyelid
near the nose and scratched her face
badly. The ball of the eye was not
seriously injured.
The two injured ladies were taken
by Mr.. Gallagher to the home of
Mrs. Fuckers daughter, Mrs. Geo
Stephenson, in Pullman, where they
were attended by DR.. l.. G. Kinney.
After the ladies were thrown from
the buggy the horse ran upon the
bank on the other side of the road,
upsetting the buggy again, and fin
ally freeing itself from it, ran about
a mile to the Ricketts, farm, where
it was caught by Mr.. Fredenburg.
Mrs. Rucker was able to return home
on Friday and was accompanied by
her daughter, who remained until
Saturday.

CITY COUNCIL STANDS PAT ON
TELEPHONE TAX QUESTION
Watt and Nye, Inland Stockholders, Denied
Councilmanic FranChse---ResolutiOns
Prompt Turbulent Session

Councilman George H. Watt and
Ira Nye were last Tuesday even
ing barred from the exercise of
franchise privileges in the city coun-
Gil as far as matters pertaining to
the Inland Cooperative Telephone
association are concerned when it
was discovered that each OF these
city fathers is the possessor of shares
of stock in the Inland company, and
1t was a question for time whether
or not enough councilmen were not
associated with the company to
transact the business connected with
the consolidation of the two COM
panies which the city administration
has to perform. The unusual condi-
ton arose when G. r. Sanders, rep
resenting a delegation from the
Chamber of Commerce. reported to
the council that that organization
had passed unanimously resolution
presented by j. c. Ruth pledging the
chamber to approve its action should
the council, after full elaboration,
decide to cancel the present fran
chise of the Bell company and grant
in lieu thereof franchise for toll
business only.
Councilman Scott, after the reso-
luton passed by the chamber had
been read, moved that it be placed on
file. After some discussion the
question was put to vote and Coun-
Gilman Watt started the fun when he
refused to vote because he is a stock
holder in the company. Councilman
Nye fell in line and announced his
disqualification on the same
grounds. AS the resolution had not
been legally presented by member
of the council the entire question
was declared out of order and the
discussion was renewed with added
yigor.
The council cham Der was Allied
to capacity with citizens who de-
sired to hear the conflab, and they
were well repaid for their trouble.
J. C. Ruth promptly presented a
resolution to the council declaring
the approval of the city administra-
ton to the proposed consolidation of
the two companies, and made a
strong plea for the passage of the
resolution. He stated that for 20
years the two companies have occu-
pied the field and that the mass of
the people are clamoring for relief,
which will be afforded when the two
companies become consolidated, stat
ing his belief that the council should
do all in its power to make possible
this relief. Councilman Scott voiced
his fear that in case the council pass
the proposed resolution the city
would lose its franchise tax under
the present Bell franchise because of
legal technicalities, and this fear was
shared by other councilmen.
