ELEVENTH BIRTHDAY
OF RICHARD HANNA
College Herdsman Was Born on Feb
ruary 20, Hence His Birthdays
Are Few-EnjoyabIe Party
in Honor of event

While Richard Hanna, the college
herdsman. passed his 44th milestone
last Tuesday, he claims the unusual
distinction of having had only II
birthdays, his natal day falling on
the 29th of February, date that
finds its way to the calendar only
once in four years. In honor Of the
extraordinary occasion, number of
the friends of the efficient he .Gsman
Journeyed % the Hanna home on the
college farm Tuesday evening 10 en-
jov dinner party in celebration of
the event. A we'll appointed five
course dinner was followed by
Scotch music and games typical Of
the Highlands. Original poems. ha9
ing to do with the widely separated
birthdays of the hOnOred guest,
were read by Mrs. M. ]. Chapman
and Prof. George Severance. The
latter presented Mr.. Hanna with n
pair of military hair brushes as a
birthday gift from the merrymakers.
In his presentation speech Prof. Sew
e"ance took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to land the most excellent
work of Mr.. Hanna as overseer of
the college live stock, also eulcgiz-
ing his good work in the same capac-
ity at Guelph, Ontario.
In his response, Mr.. Hanna char
acteristically refused a large amount
of the credit which was given him
by the head of the agricultural de-
partment, but told of the exception
ally fine live stock which the college
has placed in his care, stating that
the college herd now boasts three
heifers which can not be beaten by
any animals in the Northwest.

City VIII Probably Lose $500 rs
Result of Consolidation of Two
Companies-Franch Tax
Involved

The city of Pullman will in all
probability lose $500 in good money
as a result of the sale last sum-
mer by the Pacific States Telephone
and Telegraph company of its
local exchange to the Inland
Cooperative cyompany, that sum
representing the tax money which
would have accrued to the city dur
ing the six years which the Pacific
franchise has to run. The Inland
company, by reason of the CONSOLE
dation gained a monopoly on all the
local exchange business, the Pacific
company maintaining only its long
distance switchboard, and that in
connection with the Inland tele-
phones. The Inland company, at the
time of the consolidation last sum-
mer, was operating under a free
franchise, which does not expire for
II years, granted at the time when
the Inland line catered only to the
farmer trade and made no bid for
the general local business. Officials
of that company claim that their
company, now alone in the field, can
still operate under the old franchise,
which was quite liberal in scope, thus
throwing the tax burden of the Pa
office franchise upon the latter com
pany, although they maintain only
the long distance switchboard.
An informal meeting of city coun-
cilmen was held Monday evening,
when the entire matter was consid-
cred with C. E. Hickman, general
manager for the Pacific company,
and the consensus of opinion of the
city fathers was that the tax could
not be assessed against the Inland
company and that it would be hard
" fair to force the payment upon
the Pacific company. The latter
course, it is feared by the council
men, might result in the withdrawal
from the field of the Pacific COM
pany. leaving Pullman isolated as far
as long distance telephone service is
concerned.

Phone Merger May be Expensive

After a somewhat lengthy discus
sion, pro and con, the councilm en-
concluded to strike from the Pacific
franchise those sections calling for a
franchise tax and to provide that in
case the Pacific company re-enters
the field they may operate under the
stipulated taxes for the years during
which the sections were not en-
forced. The question will be given
official consideration at the council
meeting next Tuesday evening, and
it is expected that large number of
council fans will be on hand to wit
ness the proceedings.
Under the terms of the l0-year
franchise under which the Pacific
company was operating, the company
was required to pay $500 a year dur
ing the first five years of the life
of the franchise and $500 per year
for the remaining five years.
The ordinance granting the fran
chise became effective in February
of 1912 and the company paid three
of the 5000 yearly payments before
their lines were taken over by the
Inland company. The fourth pay
ent is due this month, and this the
company agrees to pay, leaving one
$500 payment and the five $500 ay-
ments yet unearned by the city, an
aggregate of $500, which will prob
ably be lost to the city under the
proposed arrangement.
The unofficial action of the city
fathers is in direct contradiction to
their official action of last summer,
when, previous to the consolidate IN,
they went emphaticaily on record as
opposed to waving the franchise tax
regardless of the merger plans of the
two companies, but councilmen who
attended the informal meeting stttc
that there is no alternative in the
matter.

Identification, but that the fact that
the Pullman operator was off duty
caused n delay in the transmittal of
the message until 1903 that after

road officials was heard here as a
result of the long delay in notifying
Pullman relatives.
