MACHINE EXTLODES;
TWO SEVERELY BURNED

Perry Kelly and Arthur Henry are
suffering severe burns as the result
of the explosion of a gas machine for
the determination of squirrels. Kelly
was operating the machine when it
exploded and his clothes were soon
mass of flames. Henry, who was
working in his own field nearby. OBJ
served the plight of the man and ran
to his assistance, tearing every stitch
of clothing from his body before he
could extinguish the flames. Kelly
was badly burned on the legs and
thigh, while Henry was burned on
both hands. the scorched skin being
torn from the members as he pulled
at the clothing worn by Kelly.
Henry was so engrossed in his efforts
to save Kelly that he did not know
that he had been burned until he had
stripped his companion and probably
saved his life.

CITY FREED OF DEBT
INCURRED BY JACKSON
Superior Court SustainS Demurrer of
City Attorney Dow i'll Suit
Brought by PinkertOn De-
tective Agency

When Judge r. l.. McCroskey Of
the superior court this week handed
down a decision sustaining in full the
demurrer of City Attorney d. c. Dow
to the complaint filed by the Pinker-
ton Detective Agency, which sought
to collect $671.64 from the city for
services rendered in the spring of
1916 upon the solicitation of Mayor
Harley Jackson without the knowl-
edge or consent of the city council,
another of the echoes of the mooted
Jackson administration died away
and the city found itself freed from
trying situation.
Pinkerton detectives came down
from Spokane upon the request OF
Mayor Jackson to ferrit out the per-
petrators of numerous store robber-
les which had baffled the local mer-
chants. According to the claims of
the Pinkerton people the efforts of
the detectives were responsible for
the arrest and commitment to the
state training school of two Pullman
youths, after which, they say, the rob-
berries ceased. Soon afterward the
CITY council was presented with bill
from the Pinkerton agency for serv-
ices rendered to the amount of $4S4,
with trimmings of $1S6.64 for eX-
penses. Unaware that the detectives
had been employed by the city the
municipal dads asked an explanation
from Mayor Jackson, who took the
bill from the city clerk with the as
surance that the county would meet
the expenses of the man hunt"
After Mayor Jackson left the city
the detective agency became insistent
/ in its claims that the bill was a legal
one and its demand that it be paid
forthwith.
In February of this year suit was
instituted against the city in an at
! tempt to collect the account, CITY At
torney Dow demurring to the COM
plant. claiming insufficient facts
and assuming that the city could not
be held responsible for debts con-
tracted by its mayor without the con-
sent of the city council, and present
/ ing a brief covering his point. In
sustaining the demurrer, Judge NC
Croskey ruled that Mayor Jackson
had no power to contract the bill for
the city without councilmanic au-
thorization.

PULLMAN MEN IN
K. OF P. L|MEL|GHT
A. II, Metz, Judge Thos. Neiil and
Ira T.. Clark, Former Citizen,
Receive HOnors at Hands of
Grand Lodge

Ira e. Clark, for many years a resi-
dent of Pullman, now one of Almira's
leading business men, was honored
by the knights of Pythias grand
lodge of the domain of Washington at
the session held last week in Tacoma
by election as grand outer guard, the
stepping stone, through the grand
lodge policy of rotation in office, to
the ultimate position of grand chan
cellor, the highest office in the gift
of the Pythian order of the state.
A. r. Metz, cashier of the Pullman
State bank, as grand chancellor, pre-
sided during the three-day session of
the grand lodge, and handled the ses-
patch and efficiency that brought
words of commentator from every
side Not only did these two Pyth-
ians bring credit and honor to the
city of Pullman, but Judge Thos.
Neill, a mem Der of grand judiciary
committee, prepared a beautiful cere-
mony in honor of the service mem
bers that was unanimously adopted
by the grand lodge as the official
ceremony for every subordinate lodge
in the state, to be used at the opening
of each session OF the subordinate
lodges.
As tribute to his efficient efforts
as a grand officer during the past
six years and to his splendid eXempli-
fication of the principles of the order,
Mr.. Metz, upon being accorded the
title OF Past Grand Chancellor, was
presented with a beautiful K. Of p.
watch fob, set with a diamond and
neatly engraved.
The grand lodge voted $4,000 to
the next Liberty Bond drive, $500 to
the Red Cross and $500 to the Y. NJ.
&c. A. The sum of $4,000 was set
aside for the purchase, during the
next year, of site for a Pythian
home The grand lodge approved,
subject to the ratification of the SUI
preme body, the proposal to change
the minimum age limit for admit
lance to the order from q to IS
years, which would make 1t possible
TO confer the rank OF Knighthood
upon young men before they are
called to the colors.

for the information of the tractor
men and the public, to show the
amount of power required to pull
plOws in the Palouse country, repre-
senting the extremes in topography.
Mr.. Davidson is assisted by E. j..
Stirniman, recently from Iowa, who
was last week added to the State Col
lege faculty by the board of regents
as instructor in agricultural engin-
eering. The work is in cooperation
with the soils department of the
State College, and is accomplished by
means of an intricate instrument
which registers the pull on the diff
ferent grades on revolving chart.
f. NJ. G. Krainch, agricultural en-
gineer for the Hyatt Roller Bearing
Co, is attending the demonstration
| in the interests of his company, and
NJ. o. wilkins, president and man
ager of the Dealers Motor Car assO-
citation of Oregon, is gathering data
on the various tractors and trucks for
his association.
The various types of tractors, all
! drawing ploWs in number depend
ent upon the power of the tractor,
have been assigned to demonstration
plots in three groups. The flat
wheel or track laying types are OPP
Grating on the steep hills south of
| the headquarters. These machines
pillow around the field, trailing each
other, as is usually done by horse
| drawn plOws. The round wheel trac-
tors have been assigned to a field
east of headquarters, and are divided
| into two groups, according to the
number of plows they are pulling.
I FordSon Fails to Arrive
Considerable disappointment has
been expressed through the non
arrival of the Fordson tractor. which
was to have been shipped direct from
Detroit to Pullman by express. Word
received here today is to the effect
that the express company refused to
guarantee through shipment of the
tractor, making it impossible to get
the machine which has met with
much favor in Europe and Canada to
Pullman in time for the dem onstra-
ton.
A feature of the demonstration is
the excellent mechanical work of Mrs,
Roy King of Portland, wife of the
Russell tractor expert, who operated
the 1870" Russell unassisted over
the steep hills of the Cole farm. Mrs.
King is an expert operator and at
tracted wide attention, especially
from the farmers wives present.

TRACTOR SHOW PROVES BIGGEST
EVENT EVER HELD IN PULLMAN
Thousands of Farmers From All Parts Of the
Northwest Attend Big Power-F Farming
Demonstration which Closes Today.

Il would not have missed this DEM
onstration for a lot Of money. /
have read about the power farming
dem onstrations held in the Middle
West, but had no idea of their in
trinsic value to the individual farm
er until ! attended this one. 1t is the
best thing, from the farmers stand
point, ever pulled off in the West. "
This remark, from farmer who
came half way across the state to at
tend the all-NorthWest power farm
ing demonstration, was typical of
those made by hundreds of visitors,
and all expressed keen satisfaction
that the demonstration had been
made available for them.
An unusual feature was added to
the demonstrations today when one
of the powerful motor trucks made
the rounds with the tractors, pulling
a three-bottom pillow and performing
quite satisfactorily. Another motor
truck was piled to its utm ost capacity
with sacks Of wheat and driven over
the steep, unplowed hills.
A large delegation came over from
Colfax this afternoon, the caravan of
automobiles being in charge of the
ColfaX commercial club.

of which Cobb subscribed $51 ,25O.

''It was particularly gratifying to
see the response made to the call for
more wheat, and l desire again to
urge every farmer in Georgia to, plant
at least two acres to each plow, pick
ing out his best acres for this purpose
"The demand for wheat was held
up just as we predicted, and next year
it is going to be even greater than
now. The American people should
take warning from those European
countries where children are actually
starving for the want of bread and
meat.
Every bushel of wheat grown in
Georgia will mean one bushel more
that can be sent from the western
wheat belt to our own soldiers and
our allies across the sea.
at is both question of patriotism
and of self-preservation, that calls
for the growing Of every possible
bushel of wheat in Georgia the COM

wheat not specially to make money,
but to meet absolute necessity, and |
believe they will"

en- Faw's winning the medal for the
best essay at the State High School
Meet, held at Athens last week. Miss
Faw won the silver medal at the Dis

as a writer. All are delighted at her
bringing home the gold medal.
Mr.. Edwin Sage, who won the Sc
cond place at the District Meet, was
called to Athens in place of the boy
who won first place but was unaviod-
ably detained. Though at disad-
vantage, Mr.. Sage went over and won
third place in the Defamation Con-
test. This was fine, and we congrat-
ulate Edwin heartily.
Miss Louie Dean Stephens, was in
the Musical Contest, and Mr.. George
D. Anderson, Jr., was in the Spelling
