FORMER HERDSMAN
LOST ON TUSCAN|A
Alexander McAlister, HerdSman Here
for Two Years, Loses Life With
in Fifty Miles of Birthplace

Hope entertained by friends of AL
eXander McAlister, for two years a
herdsman in the employ of the d.
vision of animal husbandry, that Nc
Alister had escaped transportation to
France on the Inflated Tuscania by
reason of transfer to someSOther COM
pany than that in which he enlisted,
was abandoned Monday when j. H.
Gooding, collage florist and close
friend of McAlister received word
from the war department to the eff
feet that McAlister was on board the
Tuscania, has not been listed with
the survivors and is supposed to be
among the unidentified dead. Mr..
McAlister enlisted in Co. E, Sixth
Battalion, goth Engineers, early last
December, and left Pullman with
Charley Hanson and Joseph Knott
for Washington, ID. c., where they
were in training for several weeks
previous to sailing. Knott and Han
son have been listed among the sur
Vivors, but the name of McAlister
has not been included in any of the
lists, either survivors, lost or miss
ing, up to the present time, and hopes
were rife that he had been transferr-
ed before the Tuscania sailed.
Mr.. McAlister was employed by
the animal husbandry division for
nearly two years previous to his en-
listment, at first having charge of
the horses and later the whole of the
college livestock. He groom ed the
college animals for show purposes
and became well known to many live
stock exhibitors of the Northwest
through his connection with the col
lege's SHOW stock" In 1916 Mr..
McAlister established a record when
he went to Portland with four w. S.
G. horses, bringing back three first
prizes. one second, and two cham
He was an expert horse
man and very popular with the stu
dents of agriculture.
Mr.. McAlister was a Scotsman by
birth, emigrating to British Column
bia 10 years ago, during which time
he had not visited his native land.
His home was at Rothesay, just so
miles northeast of where the bodies
of the American soldiers were found.

restaurant at 80 cents per pound,
dressed, and can not supply the de-
mand.
AS an indication of the high pro-
ductiyeness of rabbits, Mr.. Bilder-
back cited the record of one of his
does, which, since January, 1917 has
produced $50 pounds. live weight, of
meat, worth at least II cents per

children" of the doe were included

said the Charleston man, there will
be no excuse for them going without
meat next winter" He told in detail
of the require lents for housing and
feeding the rabbits, stating that it
costs an average Of 81 cents to feed
mature rabbit during the winter
months, while the summer costs are
negligible. At present he feeds his
big family of hares alfalfa, mill
run" (bran and shorts), and apples.
He stated that four to five months
is the proper age to market rabbits
for meat purposes. and urged that
thoroughbI ed hares be raised instead
Of scrubs. Rufus Red Belgians and
New Zealand hares, he said, are bet
ter for meat production than Elem

Due to inadequate time for full
er discussion of the chicken and rab-
bit question and the unusual interest
displayed, the discussion was con-
tinued until next Tuesday, when a
number of local "fanciers" will give
their experiences for the benefit of
the Pullman public.

CHAMBER divided ON
CAPITOL BUILDING
Motion to Go On Record as Opposed
to Construction of Office Build
ing at Olympia Referred to
Committee

A we'll defined division Of senti-
ment in regard to the proposed con-
struction of new office building
for the capitol at Olympia was evil
denced by the mem bers of the cham
Der of commerce at the Tuesday SEES
sion when a motion was presented
for consideration which, if passed,
would have placed the chamber on
record as opposed to any additions
to the capitol buildings at the present
time. The motion to oppose the new
building came as the result of a
communication from the Dayton
com mercial club, which had pre-
viously voted against the plan, in
which other commercial bodies were
asked to fall in line in opposition to
the improvement.
In order to give more time for a
full investigation of the facts in the
case and the urgency of the need for
the added capitol building space, a
second motion to refer the communi-
cation to the legislative committee of
the cham Der carried, with several OPP
posing votes.
The legislative committee will
probably make its investigation this
week and report at the next session
of the chamber, when a lively dis
cussion, pro and con, is expected to
develop.
