Those who know this family will vouch for it's members in the highest terms.
 The prolixity of this introduction is justified, I believe by the necessity of explaining how one of the best kept secrets Of the U-boat war came to my ears. Ton Koenig explained that he left port in command of U- boat that was ordered to convoy the heavily freighted Bremen. The com manders Of both boats were under orders to communicate by wireless every two hours when this was pos sib}e. and to keep in especially close touch during lad weather.

ONLY ONE PRACTICAL
WEST APPROACH ROAD
Fifteen Per Cent Grade on Route
From Arbor to South Grand
Makes Route Impractical
Says City Engineer

That there is but ones practical
and possible route for a new APP
proach to Pullman from the west,
and this the low" route, from the
II. o. O. F. cemetery northeast to
the DIV. r. & n. right-of-way,
through the j. NJ Palmerton prop
erty, was the decision arrived at by
the members of the city council
Tuesday evening after City Engineer
Myers had read his report on the
preliminary survey of the proposed
route leading from Arbor street to
Grand sereet. The survey showed
so foot drop from State street to
Grand street, requiring a grade of
| 3 per cent or greater, at any of the
various points surveyed by Engineer
Myers. The route would be from
1870 to 1000 feet long and the cost
of construction would be $3.50, ac-
cording to the figures presented. The
engineer stated that in his opinion
the route is not practical one, this
opinion being shared by the council
men,
With the list of proposed routes
reduced to one possibility, the low
route. the councilmen have turned
their attention to that route and will
exert every effort to make the es-
tablishment of this highway possible
The street and highway committee
was authorized to confer with the
com mittee from the chamber of COM
merce in an effort to provide ways
and means, by one method or an
other, of meeting the demands of
the farmers who object strenously
TO coming down West Main street
with it's hard surface and IA per
cent grade.
The preliminary estimate on the
low route, prepared by Engineer
Myers several weeks ago, totaled
$4,000, which is held to be a pro-
hibitiye figure. but it is thought that
few changes in the original survey
will materially reduce the cost. The
biggest item of the cost in the esti-
mate was $4,000 for the removal OF
the rock at the rocky point on State
street. near the O-W. r. e N. depot.
BY temporarily tapping State street
at a lower point on the railroad
right-of-way this item can be elimi-
mated, the road to be changed back
to the original survey as soon as the
rock is removed for street or build
ing purposes.

appointed regent was greeted with
hearty applause.
President Holland was the last
speaker. In discussing the legis-
latiye fight he expressed his deep an
probation of the cordial and united
support of the business men. faculty
members, and college students
which had made success possible. He
detailed the great service rendered
by the defense committee, appointed
by the chamber of commerce.; the
valuable assistance given by the fac
ulty in preparing arguments and fig
ures, for use as argum entative am
munition in repolling the assault OF
the Seattle legislative cohorts; the
far-reaching effect of the letters
which the students wrote TO their
parents and friends to bring pres
sure upon members OF the legislature
to assist the college. AS a direct re-
suit of this appeal of the students,
he said that he had been reliably in
formed that members of the legs-
lature had received more letters
from their constituents regarding
the college fight than pertaining to
the prohibition issue He paid a
high tribute to the services of Re-
gent Conan, Senator Hall and all of
the Whitman county legislators, and
expressed the conviction that the
college had Jared remarkably well
and was in a far better position to
carry on its work and protect its in
terests in the future, than it would
have been, if the attack on its integ-
rity had not been made. He con-
CURED in the opinion that the fight
would be renewed and urged all
friends of the institution to labor
increasingly to foster its prestige and
popularity in all sections of the
state.

Colfax, Wash, March 20.--At the
first annual Whitman county road
meeting today Senator Oliver Hall
said that the eastern part of Whit
man county is getting more money
for roads than the western. The
only way to avoid this was for the
western part to put more money in
the road and bridge fund, he said.
The legislature changed the high
way laws to provide that the county
take care of the expenditure instead
of the state and that all hard sur
maintained. Not much money would
be available this year, but there
would be more next from automo-
bile licenses, Senator Hall declared.
Whitman county did not raise as
much money as it should he said.

movies signed by SCI voters. Aside
from that the theatre managers

ton signed by 92S professors. OF
these 676 are voters in the city of

PIG are students. These signatures
represent a majority of the people

vote ever cast in Pullman and the
biggest registration. We also have

Small boy in the rear of the big
audience: THE wars over"
The boy was right. The movies
will not move on Sunday.
The members of the city council
asked for information concerning the
desire Of the majority of the voters
Of Pullman in the matter of the ques-
ton of the opening of the motion pic
Sunday afternoons. This informa-
ton was forthcoming in the nature
of petitions and circumstances. The
feminist" forces proved themselves
to be in the majority, if the petitions
are to be taken as criterion, and
there is no doubt that the city faith
ers will accede to the desires of the
majority and refuse the petition of
the movie managers.
The open session of the city coun-
ell Tuesday evening. called for the
purpose of hearing arguments for
and against the Sunday movies and
receiving the petitions and remon-
strances, attracted a capacity crowd
of interested listeners and interest
was keen. The big surprise of the
evening was the apparent reluctance
of the advocates of Sunday theatres
to debate the issue, the proponents
OF the plan electing to rest their case
