LOCAL RED CROSS
NEEDS WORKERS
With Much Work to BE Done. Head
quarters Will Reopen Monday In
Room Over Watts Pharmacy

Red Cross headquarters were
moved again this week and are now
permanently located in the old
gauze rooms over Watts Pharmacy.
The rooms are steam heated and well
lighted and make very comfortable
quarters.
A big quota of work is on hand
and the rooms will open Monday, the
18th. Every woman's club, church
society and fraternal order in town is
urged to see to it that it has at least
one representative in the Red Cross
rooms every day when there is work
on hand, either to sew or take gar
ments home to make. There is no
choice of work now, but it is up to
the women of Pullman to get done
on time whatever is sent from chap
ter headquarters.
AS soon as the present quota of
knitting is finished knitting needles
will be stacked" as no more knit
ted garments will be needed All ar
ticles now out must be finished and
returned by January IS, together
with all remnants of yarn.
There are aprons, knives, irons
and jelly glasses at headquarters
which should be claimed and taken
away by the owners.
Many inquiries have been made
concerning hot water bottles and
other articles loaned the military
hospitals during the epidemic. The
Red Cross has been informed that il
will doubtless be some days yet be.
fore these can be released from the
quartermaster depot. Whenever this
is done notice will appear in the loca
papers and they can then be obtained
at headquarters.

LONESTAR D|ETz WILL
NOT COACH SKATERS
Former Idol Falls Sadly From Grace
and His Name WIN Not BE Com
Sidered--Long List of Appli-
cants on File

With ID football coach for next sea-
son to be selected by the athletic
council within the next few weeks,
and scores of applications already on
file, the name OF Coach William H.
(Lonestar) Dietz, does not appear on
the list, and it is considered highly
improbable, in the face of present
conditions, that the former phenom
coach will ask for reinstatement in
the position. Since the expose by
members OF the Spokane draft board
of Dietz's alleged attempts to evade
the draft the former idol has fallen
sadly from grace and it is believed
that a general objection to his en-
ployment would be registered were
he to file application.
With many excellent coaches made
free lances through the season of
comparative football inactivity, much
good timber is available for the local
position, and it is thought that no
difficulty will be encountered in Sc
Letting, from the long list of appli-
cants, a coach who will deliver the
goods.
Included in the list of applicants
are the names of four men who have
been picked on the all-American
team by gridiron experts.
The great war played havoc with
the athletic council of the college,
and the entire faculty committee,
comprising Professors Shedd, Sears,
Akers and Edwards, has left the in
stitution. The same is true of the
associated student athletic commit
tee, while the alumni committee,
comprising F. o. Kreager, w. c.
Kruegel and Il. ID. Alvord, remains
intact, although Mr.. Alvord is ex-
pected to leave in the near future
A new faculty athletic committee,
to replace the former committee, was
announced this week by President K.
o. Holland, comprising Dean H. V.
Carpenter, w. c. Kruegel, j. Fred
Boiler, Prof. P. II. Dirstine and
Prof. G. G. Warfel. The selections
of President Holland are happy ones
and meet with the full approval of
the college community. Dean Car
penter, chairman of the committee,
has previously served in that capac-
ity and has kept in close touch with
college athletics throughout the
Northwest.
President Ward Rinehart of the
associated students has named a stu
dent committee comprising Charles
j. Broughton Bert Brooks and Bert
Stone.
The three committees, faculty, stu
dent and alumni comprise the ath-
letic council, and it is expected that
the members will be called together
soon to select coach for next sea-
son.

Senators and Representatives Visit
Pullman and Are Impressed with
Great Work of State College

The friendship of the TENDERS OF
the eastern Washington legislative
delegatiin toward the State College
was aVowed by the solons during
their visit to the institution last Fri
day. At a melting held Friday morn
ing addresses were made by several
of the senators and representatives
who were in Pullman to inspect the
needs of the college insofar as they
may be supplied by the legislature,
and all expressed deep appreciation
OF the great work of the institution.
The meeting was attended by the en-
tire student body and the members of
the faculty. President E. O. Holland
opened the session with remarks con-
corning the object of the visitors in
coming to Pullman at this time and
then turned the meeting over TO
SenatOr-elect f. T. Conan Of Spo-
kane, president of the board of re-
gents of the State College, who in
troduced the solons
Senator Dick" Hutchinson. Spo-
kan's veteran legislator, reviewed the
work in behalf of the State College
during its history. Senator Hutchin-
son had the honor of introducing the
bill in the Legislature in 1890 found
ing the State College, and has kept
closely in touch with its progress
since.
The Hon. Fred Adams of Spokane,
speaker of the next house of repre-
sentatiyes, reviewed the clash in the
last legislature between the state in
situations of higher learning.
Il consider myself a host rather
than a guest on this occasion" said
Senator Oliver Hall of Colfax, close
friend of the college since its found
ing, in opening his remarks. In
former days the college was purely
local affair and an appropriation for
$4,000 was considered by the rest
of the state as an experiment and
waste of money. Today the entire
state is interested in the outcome of
these experiments and the people
send their children here in the knowl-
edge that the best to be had in an

OFFICIAL REPORT
RECEIVED Z o. n CITY
Public Service Commission Ratifies
All Water Power Co. Schedules
With Exception of Pumping
Rate

Official findings of the public sery-
ice commission on the hearing re-
Gently held in Pullman on the pro-
posed new tariff of the Washington
Water Power company for electrical
energy for different purposes we're
received this week by City Attorney
ID. G.. Dow True to unofficial ad-
vance reports, the findings ratify the
entire schedule of the Water Power
company with the single exception of
the rate for municipal power for
pumping purposes, which the COM
pany proposed to increase by over
300 per cent. In this instance the
present schedule OF rates is con-
tinued, the findings on this point,
however, being qualified by the nota-
ton that the power schedule caused
the commission no little concern,
and that it is left intact for the pres
ent, to permit the city and the COM
pany to reach settlement later.
II had been hoped that the state
commission would settle the point
definitely, and their evident attempt
to 'straddle the issue" is satisfactory
to neither the city nor the power
company, in that it leaves the mooted
point open to further argument, even
though the proposed rate is temporar-
lily denied. In case definite settle
ment is not reached with the COM
pany at once to close the issue for
several years to come and satisfactory
to the city, it is highly probable that
a restraining order Will be asked to
make possible the settlement of the
point raised by the city as to the le-
gality of any action by the state com
mission in changing the former
schedule, which antedates the forma-
ton of the commission.
The proposed schedules for cleo
trical energy. as published in The
Herald of November 20 were all rati-
fled by the commission, except the
pumping power rates, which are
made Identical with the former
rates, as follows:
One cent per kilowat hour for all
electrical energy consumed during
off peak hours. Two cents per kilo-
watt hour for all electrical energy
consumed during peak hours, with
no minimum charge.
