NOON LUNCHEON
PROVES SUCCESS
Drew u Large Attendance of Mem
bers OF the Pullman Chamber
of Commerce

The first noon luncheon of the
Pullman Chamber of Commerce was
held Tuesday in the X of F. dining
hall and the large attendance Of mem
bers indicated that the change from
the evening suppers will prove popu-
lar. The business was transacted
promptly and the meeting adjourned
at 1900 o'clock The luncheon was
substantial appetizing and well
served, despite the fact that the man
secured to prepare it backed out at
the last moment and E. o. Cathcart,
Il. w. Thorpe and Harley Jackson
had to assume the role of cooks and
walters.
Several communications were read
and two or three committees report
ed Attention was called to the fact
that but three days were left for the
filing of notices of candidacy for city
offices, and that no one had filed for
the nominations for mayor or city
councilmen, also that but rs voters
out of 1900 had registered.
The committee on entertainment
announced that the cost of the lunch
con was Is cents plate and that this
would be the regular price, except
that once a month they planned to
serve a more elaborate meal. which
would add five or 10 cents a plate to
the cost.
r. G. McCroskey of Garfield made a
few remarks in reference to the policy
of the college regents in securing a
successor to President Bryan. He an
nounced that they had been unable to
secure II. ]. Waters, president Of the
Kansas Agricultural College and that,
while they would like to find presi-
dent who combines executive ability
with special bent for agriculture,
they regarded executive ability as the
most important requisite for the posi-
ton, and would use every endeavor to
find the best qualified and most
available man in the country.
The plan of securing permanent
quarters for the Chamber in the city
hall was discussed and left in charge
of the committee on building.
The question of arranging for a
delegation of business men to attend
the county fair at Colfax was brought
up, but as it developed that many
were planning to visit the fair, some
one day and some on another, it was
thought best to urge as many as pos
sible to go, but not to try to arrange
for them to go in body

After Seventeen Years of Faithful
Service Pastor of United Presby-
terrain Church Tenders
Resignation

Last Sunday Dr.. w. G. NJ. Hays
rendered his resignation as pastor of
the United Presbyterian church. The
profound sorrow with which the mes
sage was received by the congrega-
ton is an impressive evidence of the
strong bond of love between the
pastor and his people. The text of
the resignation was as follows:
My Beloved People,
1t has now been more than a year
and half since we were Frustrated
by critical illness. We fondly hoped
that long ere this we should be SO re-
stored as to warrant our return to
the active duties of the pastorate, but
at this date it is evident that these
hopes have not been fully realized.
There has been much improvement
in our general health, but not to the
extent as to warrant our resuming the
work of the pastorate nor shall we
be able so to do, we are fully con-
WINGED, for some time to come. In
deed, what the future holds for us
i'll the Masters service is problem
atical
Bowling humbly, therefore, to what
appears to us to be the unmistakable
leading of Divine Providence, we
hereby ask you to join with us in pc
titioning the Presbytery of Spokane
to dissolve the relation now binding
us together as pastor and people.
The relation we have thus borne
for more than II years has been to
us a singularly happy and intimate
one. 1t is not always that a pastor
who has organized a congregation
from the foundation has been per-
| mitted to minister to it for so long IA
time under such pleasant circum-
stances. There has not been in all
these years, to our knowledge, any
root of bitterness to mar the har-
mony of our fellowship. The rever-
ence and respect that have been uni
formly shown us by your children
and young people, our students as
well as those of ripper years, have
been to us at once a qualification and
qualification that my
people should SO recognize the
sacred character Of the office of the
Christian ministry-humiliat on
our part by a keen sense of not
adjoining that sacred office more
worthily.
We are most glad that we have
been permitted to know and serve
you for so many years. AS we once
declared on the floor of our General
Assem- bly,: Il would rather be the
pastor of the United Presbyterian
congregation of Pullman, Washing
ton, than to be the president of a
theological seminary
In the confident faith that He who
holds the seven stars in His right
hand and who walks amidst the
seven golden candlesticks makes no
mistakes and that such a change,
when made by Him, shall be for the
greater glory and clearer illumina-
ton of His house, we herewith sub
NIT our resignation as your pastor,
subject to the Presbytery of Spo-
kane, only asking that you will give
to my successor, when chosen, the

BELATED PROTEST

The O.-W. r. & N. company has
entered a belated protest against the
proposed improvement by filling
and paving of that portion of Kami-
aiken street lying between the O.-W.
r. & n. and n. p tracks. AS the
time for entering protest expires
some time ago it is probable that
the objection will be of no avail, the
council already having decided to
improve the tract.

Grain quotations of the past few
days show a decided inclination to

several cents better than those of

been made this week, and the good
prices for barley during the entire

that cereal, although wheat is NOV

noon meet the team from the Uni.

ence game of the season on Rogers
field. Predictions on the probable
outcome of the initial contest are en-
tirely haphazzard, especially SO far
as the layman is concerned, mas
much as the local men will present
style of play entirely new to the
Northwest conference That the Car
Isle system which is being drilled
into the men by Coach Dietz is
worthy one and one which holds big
possibilities, is not doubted, the only
question being whether or not the
big Carlisle man has had sufficient
time to perfect his system here.
Coach Dietz was palpably displeased
with the showing against the heavy
alumni team last Saturday, and in
Dictated his displeasure in no uncer-
tain terms by many switches in his
lineup following the contest.
The conference game will start
promptly at 2:3O. and will be preced-
ed by a game between the w, S. G.
props and Colfax high school.
George Varnell of Spokane will ref
cree the conference contest.

but were figured from former data
