VIII BE Glad to Receive Gifts of
Books, Pamphlets or Magazines
From Friends

The Washington State College
library will always be glad of any
gifts of books, magazines or PAM
phlets from graduates and friends.
All sorts of books are important, and
there are many that the library can
well receive from its friends. Many
books have a historical value when
their immediate use is past. Dupli-
cate numbers of magazines can be
used to advantage for exchange pur-
poses.
The following suggestions indicate
several ways in which you can help
the college library.
First, editors of newspapers or
other periodicals and teachers are in
constant receipt of valuable new
books which once reviewed, perhaps
find their way to the garnet. II
would be a particular service TO the
college if such books were forward
ed without delay to be placed in cir

Fine Voices Will BE Heard at the
College Auditorium Next Wednes-
day Evening, April IL

The Royal Gwent Welsh Singers,
an attraction of unusual merit, has
been booked by the college conn nit
tee for a concert at the college audi
forum on Wednesday evening, April
-, The comr&ny consists of IA of
the best m2le singers of Wales.
Those who heard the Mountain
Ash Male Choir of Wales at the col
lege few years ago will remember
the concert as one of the most de-
lightful ever heard in Pullman. The
Royal GWent Welsh singers are eX-
pected to be equally as good, if not
better than the Mountain Ash.
The program TO be given will be a
popular one and will appeal to the
general public. There is something
different about the voices and sing
ing of the Welsh singers that makes
a tremendous popular appeal.
The prices of admission will be 80
and - cents, according to location of
seats Reserved seat tickets will be
on sale at Watts Pharmacy.

WORK WILL START ON
NEW GAS PLANT CD
Representative of l.. n. Burnett Saws
Holders of Franchise Hope to
Have Plant in Operation
This Summer

slight ray of hope was injected
into the gas plant situation this
week when the city officials received
Il letter from w. c. Morris. repre-
senting the l.. II. Burnett interests,
holders of the gas franchise. in
which 1t was stated that the COM
pany hopes to have the plant in op-
Grafton before the hot weather puts
In an appearance. The correspond
ent mentions as potent factors in
causing the long delay in starting
work on the proposed plant the
shortage of materials due to the
European war and the inability of
the houses to furnish material on
early orders. Mr.. Morris said in
substance:
We are anxious to start work on
the gas plant and will do so at an
early date. The rise in the material
market has worked a hardship and
it is almost impossible to tell how
soon we can get material on the
ground under the present condl-
tons The houses are slow to take
orders for early delivery, but we
hope to have the plant ready for OPP
Grafton by the time hot weather ar
rives. We would feel better if the
citizens of Pullman were displaying
a stronger desire for gas for heating
and cooking purposes"
The time period set by the ordi-
nance granting the franchise for
starting actual operations toward
the construction of the plant has
long since passed and it is alleged
that by their "watchful waiting pol
icy the grantees have violated sew
eral sections of the franchise, but
the measure has not been revoked
in the hope that the holders of the
franchise might ultimately become
mbued with the spirit of enterprise
and progressiveness which has taken
firm hold on the people of Pull
man and get busy Pullman people
would undoubtedly give substantial
support to we'll appointed gas
plant, but would like to see an evil
dence of good faith on the part
of the franchise holders.
The franchise, to cover a period
of 50 years, was granted in August
Of last year, and the grantees were
bound to start actual construction
operations within 60 days.

RACK CLUB WORK
OF BOYS AND GIRLS
Pullman Chamber of Commerce
Guarantees Money Required to
Foster Movement in Whit
man County

The Pullman Chamber of Com
MERGE gave another proof of the en-
terprise and public spirit of its mem
hers last Tuesday by voting to guar
antee the $3.50 required, in order to
secure for the boys and girls clubs
NJ Whitman county the 5000 offered
nv the extension departm ent and the
$3.50 donated by the state depart
ment of education to assist in the
club work in any county which raises
$3.50 for the same purpose. The
county commissioners had been petit
toned to make the appropriation but,
while all members of the board were
favorable to the plan, they found
that the law would not permit them
to donate money out of the county
funds.
Several strong speeches were made
on the Importance of the work and
the necessity for prompt action. A
motion was then made that the Pull
man Chamber of Commerce guaran-
tee the necessary $3.50, and it was
carried without opposition. The 5000
thus made available will be used to
employ a man to organize and super
wise the work of the clubs, and the
extension department of the college
has selected Bruce Lampson for this
position. Arrangements for clubs
have already been made at Albion
PaIouse, Garfield and Pullman, and
many other schools in the county
will now probably join in the cam
pagn. Garden, canning, poultry,
potato, corn, pig, bird and rabbit
clubs will now be organized. All
boys and girls between the ages of
eight and Is years inclusive are ELI
gible to membership, and will be
enrolled in the national organiza-
ton. Each member has to keep an
accurate account of the cost of what
he or she produces.
In September a fair at which the
products of the county clubs will be
exhibited is to be held, and from the
prize winning products an exhibit
Will be made up and entered in com
petition at the state fair at North
Yakima, which will make "a big feat

hlblts. Not only will the state fair
management allow $50 for the trans
portation of club exhibits from each
county, but the transportation and

Over BUSINESS of Bruce Lamp
son-WiH Add New Fixtures
and Wares

Lou NJ. Curtiss, for the past six
years manager of the dry good de-
partment of the Emerson Mercantile

ness and promises his patrons the
best in his lines at lower cost.
Mr.. Curtiss will be joined soon by
his father B. c. Curtiss, of Beld-
ing, Mich, who will come to Pull
man backed by As years of retail eX-
perience. The elder gentleman will
have charge of the bookkeeping end
of the enterprise and the office,
while the son will oversee the buy
ing and the sales. Miss Edith Grant
will be saleslady.
The new owner is well known in
Pullman, and has a reputation for
honesty, ability and business tact
The Herald predicts that the bust
ness will flourish under his manage
ment.

prietor. will devote his entire atten-
ton in the future to the boys and
girls club work, under the auspices
of the extension department OF the

clubs in Whitman county, and Will
enter upon his duties in that capac-

SEARCH FOR BODY IN VAIN

\ large number OF business men
last Saturday afternoon joined in an
organized search for the body of
Gail Tomson, the four-year-old boy
who was supposedly drowned in the
South Palouse river two weeks ago.
Although the creek bed and under
brush for several miles below Pull
man was searched in thorough
manner, no trace of the body of the
missing tot was found. and the fear
that the body may have been carried
for many miles by the raging tor
rents or buried in the mud was
strengthened. The boys mother
spends a large part of each day
searching for the body and her grief
has no bounds.

College Library Asks Donations

culation for the benefit of students
and faculty.
Second, many persons whose good
custom it is to buy books Of all kinds
in order to keep abreast with the
times, would often do well to thin
out their Libraries from time to time
Of all such books as they no longer
require and send them to the college
library.
Third, book funds as gifts of
classes may be established for the
purchase of books of general or spe-
cial departments in order that no de-
partment may be handicapped in it's
work.
The college very often would so
keenly appreciate such gifts as more
than to compensate the givers for
their trouble.
Through the generosity of Mr.. f.
Z. Sanger the library has received a
rare 10-yolume work on law, Went
worth's Pleadings. DR.. Il. r. Patee
has presented valuable collection
of medical books. Other gifts have
been received from II. Kimbrough,

GET SEWER SERVICE
FOR MONROE Street
Property Owners Announce Inten-
ton of Joining Limits and Are
Granted Sewer Rights

Evidencing an intention of enter
ing the city limits as soon as resi-
dences can be established, e. II. Duff
fey, F.. n. Bryant +. NJ. Handy and
f. J. Osterman, owners of property
on Monroe street, on College hill,
were Tuesday evening granted sewer
privileges by the city fathers. A six
inch sewer will be laid along the
east side of Monroe street, from the
south line of the Duffey property
and a terminal will be made on Cal
iforna street. All the work will be
done by the city and the petitioners
guarantee to pay all costs and as
sessments of the improvement.
The petitioners recently asked
sewer privileges and the request was
granted, but the action was recind-
ed at a special meeting held the fol-
lowing day, when it was discovered
that the city had violated a preced-
ent in granting such privileges to
property owners residing outside the
corporate limits. The petitioners
then asked that their property be
included in the municipal limits, but
such action was impossible inasmuch
as the necessary percentage OF the
owners did not reside on the prop
erty in question. The owners an
aounce that a second request for ad-
mittance will be made as soon as
their residences are established.
The sewer will accommodate all
property owners on Monroe street
between California and Garfield
streets.

The audience was most cordial in
its applause of the work of the Royal
event Welsh Male Singers at Car
negie hal last evening. The choir
has IA good ensemble and soloists Of
rare merit.--Globe and Commercial
Advertiser, New York, n. Y, October
30.
THE mellow clarity of voice and
phenomenal register, which the sing
ers themselves believe to be the re-
suit of climatic environment, gave a
surprising charm to the concert
apart from and above the musical
interest of the unusual program
Daily Standard Union, Brooklyn, N
Y, October 30.
They brought forth numerous en-
cores from a large and appreciatiye
audience. The choruses were well
sung, the shading and volume being
inspiring and fascinating. Several
solos were given in bright, interest
ing and dramatic style. The indi-
Vidual voices are excellent as we'll

Eagle, Brooklyn, \. Y, October 30
Commenting upon the perform
ance in the national capital city by
the Gwent Welsh Hale Singers.
The critic from the Post" wrote:
"A distinct hit was made by the
Gwent Welsh Male Singers at their
two concerts given at the Belasco
Theatre yesterday afternoon and
evening. The company is a we'll
balanced body of "A singers, with
excellent soloists.
Said The Washington Herald:
The choir is composed Of we'll
trained voices, all capable of solo
work, and the program alternated
between the full choir, and solo, duet
and quartet mum bers."
The criticism was favorable
throughout and went on to speak of
the fact of their former success at
the White House and their command
performance before King George
and Queen Mary of England at Buck
ingham Palace, by which command
they have been twice honored.

PLANS FOR PAVING
SPRING ST. CHANGED
City Council Votes to Make Needed
Road Thirty Feet Wide Instead
of Twenty-tWo-New Esti-
mate Necessary

The hearing on the preliminary
resolution declaring the intention of
the city council to improve by paw
ing, grading and filling approximate
ly 1900 feet of Spring street, from
the new concrete bridge to the city
limits, was postponed for two weeks
to permit of the preparation by the
city engineer of a new preliminary
estimate of cost, to conform to the
changed plans of the council. The
city fathers voted to make about
two-thirds of the entire road 80 feet
wide instead of % feet, as originally
specified. InasmuCh as this change
would cost more than 10 per cent
over the engineers estimate, it is
necessary to readjust the figures be-
fore the hearing is held. The new
plans of the council are to make the
road 80 feet wide from the bridge
to the point where it crosses the N.
p. tracks, with the balance % feet
wide, as originally specified.
The preliminary estimate of En-
gineer Edwards on the former speci-
fications indicate that nearly two
thirds of the entire cost, which was
set at $5028.10, will fall on the
Northern Pacific and O.-W. R. & N.
companies whose tracks run parallel
with the road for the greater part
of the distance. 1t is probable that
the changed plans will add approx
mately Is per cent to the cost.
Engineer Edwards estimated the
cost of the Improvement under the
original specifications as follows:
$40 cubic yards solid rock
excavation, at $2.75 per
yard go. -. ......$ $500
1850 cubic yards earth fill,
at zoe ........... 46S.OO
$500 square yards btu
minous macadam, at soc 3,16S.OO
Ten per cent added for en-
gineering costs and Incl
dentals 49,. ........ 457.10
Total estimated cost. IS, O2S.1O
The engineers spread of cost
shows that $2852. or over half the
entire cost, would be assessed
against the n. P. company, with
$8926 against the O.-W. r. & N. COM
pany, the balance to be borne by the
owners of AUDITING lots in College
Park addition. including tracts U. S
and r, block 10, and lots 4, 5, 6, Z,
-, 10 and IA of block 3.
The resolution will be open for
a hearing at the next meeting of the
council, and the much needed i'm
provement will be rushed with all
possible haste.
