Hurley strengthened their team consider
ably and they played swell game besides
having all the breaks of the game. Our
boys pounded the ball in their usual vigor-
Gus manner, but It seemed that most Of the
hard drives went straight into the mitts of a
waiting fielder. The Braves made some
costly errors at critical times and ran the
pase, poorly. However, they promise to
be in the best OF shape for the game with
Ashland tomorrow, and are busy practicing
mp. Turn out everybody and lets show
lots of pep. The score.

ness, and cautioning the city fathers
to keep within the legal limit.

granted permission to purchase addi-
tional meters.

The report of the state examiner
pays a tribute to the efficient work
of City Treasurer j. S. Clark and City
Clerk Matilda F. Cannon. In regard
t. the city treasurer, the report says;
The present city treasurer has
held office for some II years. He
thoroughly understands the details of
the office and his books are kept with
the utmost care and accuracy. A
few small errors were found, all in
favor of the city, and the cash as
shown by the trial balance is 1884
long. The treasurer makes a month
ly report to each member of the coun-
Gil, which is complete in every de-
tail"
The work of Mrs. Cannon is men
tened as follows:
The present clerk, Mrs. Cannon,
has held office since the first of 1914
and during this time she has brought
system into use. All warrants, vouch-
ers, ETC., are correctly numbered and
fled away as paid. The minute book
is we'll written up. An index of the
ordinance book is being made which
will be of wonderful assistance to
not only the clerk but others who
wish any information on this subject.
Bureau forms have been installed by
the present clerk and the office
should show greater degree of eff
ficiency in the future"

Says City Exceeds Legal Debt

the legal limit of Indebtedness has
been exceeded In tho sum OF $Y63l.l3
does not make a good showing for
the city or for the city officials.
During the year 1914 the expendi-
lures exceeded the estimates by
S9,062.lO and, of the estimate for the
year 1915. only little over $4,000
remains unexponded In this respect
the attention of the city officials is
called TO remarks of former eXamin-
ers where the matter of the annual
estimate is gone into thoroughly.
Too much attention can not be given
to this matter and expenditures
should at all times be kept within
said estimate.
At the present time practically
the entire revenue of the city is de-
rived from taxation. The telephone
company pays an annual fee of $500.
The pool halls and theatre are the
only business that pays license fee.
In the present financial condition OF
the city more money should be de-
rived from this source.
The old ordinances covering the
duties of and salaries paid city oft
Gals should be repealed and new
one drafted covering said duties and
the salary to be paid each official. At
the present time the salary of each
official is small and extra compensa-
ton is allowed-in the case of the
attorney the salary is $500 per year
and during the year 1914 he drew
$1OO5 in extra pay. The clerk has
received pay for registration, also so
cents on each license issued. All
these matters should be taken into
consideration in making the salary.
This matter should be attended to at
once, so that the officials may know
what salary they will receive in
1916.
A diligent search was made for the
bond of the city attorney, marshal
and police Judge, but none was found.
The law regarding the city officials
furnishing bonds is mandatory and
must be complied with; in fact, the
official has not qualified for the Of
flee until the bond is filed and is
therefore not entitled to draw the
salary of office.
In conclusion, / wish to call the
attention of the city officials to chap
tiers 1873 and 1874, session laws of
1916. These laws are of great i'm
portance to cities of the third class
studied.

F. Y. ROTH GETS
JACKSON CONTRACT
Local Contractor viii Construct
New Building for $13, BOO
Eight Bids Vary Only
$3.50

F.. V. Roth, Pullman contractor,
was Wednesday afternoon awarded
the contract for construction of the
Harley Jackson building, on the cor
ner of Main and Pine streets, the
contract price being $4,000. Eight
contractors submitted bids FOR the
work, and the difference between the
lowest and highest bids was oAly
$3.50, while the contract price varied
only 1852 from the preliminary cstl-
mate of Arthitect William Swain
which was $13,562. The extraor-
binary closeness of the bids is &C
counted for by the we'll prepared and
specific plans for the building, the
work of Mr.. Swain. Every detail OF
construction was carefully worked
out and each bidder had before him
every figure that would assist him
in arriving at bid price. The sue
cessful bidder was $50 higher than
one other contractor, but was award
ed the contract by Mr.. Jackson upon
the assumption that the difference
was not sufficient to justify giving
the contract to an outside man.
Work on the new building, which
will be 100 feet square, will start at
once, and the contractor Is requlrel
to have it completed by November l.
The contract price covers every de-
tail of the work until the building
Is ready for occupancy, exceDt the
furniture. The walls will be SUI
GENTLY strong to support n 3ecold
story later. The bidders on the

Tor Treasurer and Clerk

On an assessed valuation of $685..
l3I, Pullman's net municipal debt,
exclusive OF the bond issues resulting
from popular vote, and exclusive Of
the cash balances in the several
funds, the cash in the hands of the
county treasurer, and delinquent
taxes. is $23,973.1O, or $963I.l3 over
the legal limit Of l " per cent on
assessed valuation, which would be
) 4,34 l.97, according 10 the report
OF John NJ. Rummell, state examiner,
VINO recently audited the citys books.
The bonded debt, however, is $16,-
8O6.56 under the five per cent. on
assessed valuation allowed by the
state upon popular vote of the people
of the municipality for water and
sewer purposes being $4,000. The
city is privileged by law to assume a
general Indebtedness of 3 " per cent

which would permit of an added in
debtedness OF $33, for general
purposes, should the people so vote.

conspicuous place. This debt was
contracted in the early 90s, and the
principal remaining unpaid at this
time is $7322.77, while the interest
is nearly twice that amount, or $12,-

FALL GRAIN YIELDS
ABOVE EXPECTATIONS
Reports on Grain Already Threshed
Indicate One of Best Yields in
History of Eastern Whitman
County

That Whitman county will this
year produce between one and two
million bushels more wheat than last
year is the opinion of local grain
men who have made study of the
situation, and the opinion Is based
upon the reports of exceptional
yields which are coming from all
farmers who are threshing their
crops and the greatly increased acre
age in crop this year. Several
threshing outfits started in this
vicinity this week, and all report that
the fall crops are yielding much bet
ter than last year, while the percent
age of smut heads Is considerably re-
duced In most fields.
One Of the best yields yet reported
comes from c. A. Hood, who secured
an average Of 76 bushels of early
spring blue barley on 100 acres of
land which last year produced corn
Mr.. Hood figures his crop of corn
last year was worth $500 in hog
fat, having turned his hogs into the
field, AT rs bushels per acre of bar
ley his crop this year will return
nearly $40 per acre at the prevailing
prices for barley, or $4,000 for the
100-acre field, Mr.. Hood refused
$1.05 per hundredweight for his
crop.
f. w. Wilson reports yield of IS
bushels to the acre of red Russian
wheat, and samples of the wheat
which is almost totally free from
smut, submitted to big grain dealers,
brought a quotation of I II above
the market although Mr.. Wilson did
not sell.
Harry Young reports his barley as
going about SO bushels to the acre
Among the outfits to start this
week were the c. j. Krous machine,
which is threshing the Krous crop
on the Ben Manning place. While
the definite yield has not been estab-
lshed, it will average around 40
bushels to the acre or better, accord
ing to indications. II. w. Hodge
started his machine on the Carl
Jones place Monday and Charles
Vollmer is threshing his own crop.
The Eugene Snyder outfit started
yesterday afternoon on the William
Brabyn place, and C. B. Dunning is
operating his com bined machine on
the H. w. Price farm. Naffzigger
Bros. started yesterday, and the
Neill Bros. started their combine on
the Mrs Story place yesterday
Grain quotations show a steady
advance almost daily, but the farm
ers are reluctant to SELL anticipating
still greater advances, and the grain
dealers are comparatively inactive,
although several lots of barley have
been sold on contract at around
$1.05, including the Max Hinrichs
and J. w. Haines crops. Yesterdays
quotations were as follows:
Red Russian wheat .... 90 SIC
Club wheat ....... ...... 81 D ooc
FOrtyfold wheat ...... 80 % SIC
Bluestem wheat .......... 80 % 93c
