Mrs. Elmer Coy Dies at Age OF
Twenty-nine Years, Leaving Six
Little Children-Funeral at
OakeSdale

One of the saddest deaths in the
history of Pullman occurred last
Sunday when Mrs. Elmer Coy died
at her home on Sunnyside hill, fol-
lowing the birth of a 10-pound son.
Death was due to post partrum hem
orrhage and came within a few hours
after the birth of the child, despite
valiant efforts on the part of physi-
clans to save her life. Funeral serv-
ices were held at the home Tuesday
morning, the Rev. j. w. Caughlan
officiating, and the body was taken
overland in the Kim ball auto-herse
to Oakesdale and laid to rest in the
Oakesdale cemetery after a service
in which three pastors, friends of
the family, took part.
Mrs. Coy was 20 years of age and
came to Pullman with her husband
and five children last September
from Camas prairie, Idaho. The
husband suffered an attack of pneu-
monia and for several months was
i'll and out of employment. Recently
he secured a position in the shops
of the Traction Street Car company
in Spokane, and was planning to
m owe his family TO Spokane as soon
as the expected child had arrived.

later the same month.
The Pacific Jurisdiction has form

The new organization has a re-
serve fund totaling $S,000,000, and
is claimed to be the most substantial
fraternal insurance in the world New
legislation enacted at the recent
session makes the policies much
more desirable than heretofore.
I Previously a member who died dur
ing the first three years of the life
of his policy received only a part of
its face value, governed by the
length of his membership. Under
the new legislation the full value of
the policy is paid, even though the

R. NJ. O'DAY WEEDS
JUAN|TA GREGORY
State College Graduates Married at
SunnySide Last Week-Will Re-
side at 4OI Montgomery
Street

Two OF Washington State Col
lege's most popular graduates were
made man and wife last week when
Ray NJ. O'Day and Miss Juanita
Gregory were married at the home
of the brides mother, Mrs. William
Gregory, at Sunnyside. The cere-
mony was a quiet affair and was per
formed by the Rev. Terry of the
Sunnyside Baptist church in the
presence of the relatives of the con
tracing parties. Mr. and Mrs. ODay
VIII return to Pullman this week
and will be at home to their many
friends at 404 Montgomery street.
Both the young people were active
in student affairs during their col
lege careers and both made hosts of
friends who extend congratulations
and well wishes. Mr.. O'Day received
his degree in economic science and
history with the class of 1915 after a
four-year course, during which he
enjoyed many student honors. He
served as editor Of the Evergreen,
the student publication, in very
capable manner, and was colonel of
the cadet regiment, accompanying
the embryo soldiers in that capacity
to the Pan-Am erican exposition in
San Francisco. He was a member
of the Gamma Delta fraternity and
was an excellent student. Mr.. O'Day
is a son of T. J. O'Day of Pullman.
Since graduation he has been en-
ployed as an assistant to Accountant
w. C. Kruegel and has displayed I'M
usual aptitude for business affairs.
Mrs. O'Day, as Miss Juanita
Gregory, was without doubt one of
the most popular and charming
young ladies who ever attended the
State College. She also took an &C
tive part in the student and social
affairs which, are so great a part
of student life. She was accorded
one of the greatest honors in the
gift OF the student body when she
was elected queen of the May last
year over a field OF four exception
ally strong candidates, and executed
the difficult role with a grace and
charm that brought much favorable
comment. Miss Gregory was also
chairman of the big Five" COM
mittee of young ladies which had
charge OF the activities OF the col
lege women on last campus day. She
is a member of the Pi Beta Phi
sorority and received her degrees
last June from the department OK
home economics.

CITY BUSINESS SCARCE

A scarcity of municipal business
was the cause of one Of the shortest
sessions of the city council on record
last Tuesday evening. Aside from
calling to order, reading the minutes
and adjourned, the only business
transacted was to order the city clerk
to again advertise for bids for Dis
trict No. 20 and to give permission
for the use of parts of Pine and
Paradise streets for storing building
material for the new knife factory.

PULLMAN TO STAGE
COUNTY CLUB FAIR
County Exhibit of Boys and Girls
Club Work Will he Held Here
Middle of September

The county exhibit of the work of
the boys and girls clubs of Whit
man county will be held in Pull
man about the middle of September.
the chamber of commerce having
adopted the report of the agricul-
tural committee, which endorsed the
plan at its Tuesday luncheon. In
all probability the exhibit will be
held the week previous to the state
fair at North Yakima, which is set
for September 10 to 30, although
the dates have not been definitely
decided upon.
A committee consisting of r. c.
Holt, ID. f. Staley, j. w. Mathews
and Bruce Lampson was appointed
to solicit funds for the exhibit, and
make complete arrangements. They
have already secured subscriptions
which assure that little trouble will
be experienced in raising the $3.50
necessary to stage the attraction.
The premium list, which includes
first second and third prizes in the
various departments of club work,
calls for an expenditure of between
$170 and 5000, and the balance will
be required for incidental expenses.
In all probability the annual hog
show will be abandoned this year
to make way for the club fair, so
that the business men will not be
asked to sign subscription petitions
for both events.
1t is expected that fully 400 ex-
hibits will be included in the county
display and that members and par
ents from all parts of the county will
be attracted to Pullman. The prize
winners in the different depart
ments will be sent to the state fair
at North Yakima, where their eX-
hibits will be entered in state compe-
tition. Fifty dollars toward sending
the winning boys and girls to North
Yakima will come through the
county school uperintendent and
the winners will be entertained while
there by the fair management.

PULLMAN|TES IN LINE
FOR COLv|LLE LANDS
Twenty-nine Local People Included
in List of $500 Names Drawn at
Spokane-Only Three Above
1000 Mark

While the list of $500 names
drawn at Spokane for priority in fill
ing upon homesteads in the Colville
Indian reservation contains the
names of 90 Pullman people, only
three of these were above the 1000
m ark, assuring a good homestead,
1t is figured that there are probably
1900 available quarter sections in
the reservation, although the num-
Der of choice parcels probably does
not exceed $50 or 300. It is expected
that a large percentage of the
winners" will fail to file, so that
names as low as 1000 may be in line
for a piece of the reservation land
when their turn to select comes.
Only six per cent of the entire
registration is included in the list OF
$500 names drawn. Figuring the
balance of the big list on the same
ratio as the first $500 in point of
Pullman winners, approximately 500
Pullman people registered for a
chance at the homesteads.
The list of Pullman people includ-
ed in the drawing, with their num-
bers, is as follows

5000 MILES TO ENTER W. S. c.

That the fame of the State Col
Iege of Washington is spreading
to all corners Of the globe is i'm
dicated by the fact that Robert
n. Justo, native of Buenos
Ayres, has travelled over 5000
miles to enter the college this
fall to take full course in hOrti-
culture. Mr.. JustO has already
arrived in the state and Is now
employed on a large fruit ranch,
where he is getting practical ex-
perience in his chosen line. He
intends to complete his course
here and return to his native land,
where he will engage in the apple
raising business on large scale
ON ON his fathers extensive land
holdings.
Mr., Justo became interested In
the apple industry through rep"
resentatiye of q Wenatchee fruit
marketing agency in his home
city. Most of the apples at home,
Mr.. Justo says, are imported from
Spain, are of inferior quality and
sell for ST a dozen. The large,
fine apples of Washington are a
great deIicacy and hard 10 obtain

THREE ARRESTED ON
STATUTORY CHARGES
altman Youths Arrested for Alleged
Connection With Case Involving
t4.Year-Old Moscow Girl
One Released

Three Pullman youths, Roy Nor
RS owen Hammond and Jess Hat
sv we're arrested Monday on war
,onts issued at the request of the
Oorents of a 14-year-old girl residing
At Moscow, Idaho. Morris was
charged with contributing to the de-
lnouency of a minor and was taken
IL Moscow Sunday afternoon, waiv-
ug extradition privileges. The two
otber young men were charged with
seduction and prostitution. Hat
i oy crossed the line for a preliminary
hearing without extradition papers
and was at once released, the evil
deDce not involving him to suffi-
Gent degree to warrant holding him.
j After refusing to go into Idaho with
out papers and spending Monday
night in the Pullman jail, Hammond
experienced a change of heart when
b Deputy Sheriff Baker came up from
COlfax to escort him to the county
bastile to await the arrival of the
necessary papers, and crossed the
line for his preliminary hearing.
Norris and Hammond were bound
over to the Idaho courts under $500
bonds, which was furnished in each
case, and returned to Pullman to
await the trial of the case.
The case has attracted wide at
tenton and the outcome is awaited
with much interest In case the evil
dence proves sufficient it is possible
that the charge against the two men,
or at least one of them, will be
changed to a federal charge under
4 the white slave act, it being alleged
that the Moscow girl was brought to
Pullman Sunday night.
Considerable difficulty was en-
countered in locating the girl in
Yolyed, who, it is claimed, was in
4 hiding in private home here all day
Monday. The local officers and a

WHEAT PRICES CLIMB;
FARMERS JUBILANT

The Pullman farmers who are still
holding their 1915 crops of wheat,
can get from seven to nine cents per
bushel more for it today when they
could last Friday, the sensational
advances being due in large measure
to the reports of great damage to
the crops in North and South Da-
kota, both banner wheat states,
and to the Canadian crop, oc-
casioned by the deadly black rust
These reports caused big advances
in the Chicago markets, and the local
markets climbed in sympathy. Oats,
on the other hand, have fallen off
slightly in price, being quoted here
at 10 cents the hundredweight under
the price of last Friday All of the
1915 barley crop has been sold and
a price on the 1916 barley crop is
given for the first time this week

One man in baseball history placed
himself in the hall of fame by deliv-

only few seconds actual preparation in

with Marion June 20, 1910. Childs went
