FEW REGISTER FOR

Less than % voters who failed
to register in time for the primary
election have qualified for the gen
eral election of November 2, al
though the books close on the even
ing of October IL At the time of
the primaries 977 voters had reg

CITIZENS INSPECT
NEW GIRLS DORMS
Visit to McCrOskey and Community
Halls Gives Local People Excel
lent Impression

Scores OF Pullman business men
with their wives visited McCroskey
and Community halls, the two new
dormitories for women at the State
College, Sunday afternoon. The
guests were greeted at the door by
the house mother and escorted over
the various floors by young ladies
who occupy the halls. The two new
buildings were rushed to completion
in time for the opening of the college
year and house approximately $50
girls. The rooms and suites of
rooms, to accommodate one, two and
in some cases three girls, are con-
veniently arranged and the young
ladies are highly pleased with the
accommodations offered. Dining ia
cilities for the girls of both halls are
maintained in McCroskey hall, while
the laundry is located in Community
hall. The tour of inspection of the
two new buildings was under the
auspices of the chamber of commerce

NORTH DAKOTA MAN
TELLS OF LEAGUE
G.. A. Monteith Predicts That Nom
partiZan League Will Lose Con-
troll of Legislation in Coming
Election

G. A. Monteith, formerly publish
er of the Beacon at Finley, North Da
kota, and ex-president of the North
Dakota Press association, stopped off
in Pullman this week with his wife
and daughter to visit relatives. He
recently sold his paper to the Nom
partizan league and is now on his
way to California, where he expects
to locate.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of The Herald, Mr.. Monteith
gave some interesting information
regarding the workings of the Non
partizan league and its present po-
litical status He says that in the
recent primary election enough of
the league candidates for the lower
house of the legislature were defeat
ed for nomination to insure a major
ity of anti-league members, and that
the same result obtained in the nomi'
nation of members of the senate to
be elected this fall. The league will
have enough holdoyer senators to re-
tain control of that body, unless some
of the holdover members are re
called, which is more than a proba-
bility. The farmers, he states, are
losing confidence in the league, as
was evidenced in the primary cleo
ton, when the vote for Governor
Frazier was cut heavily, some coun-
ties which had been strongly for him
in previous primaries, rolling up ma
jorities against him.
Mr. Montieth predicts that Gov
ernor Frazier will probably be re-
elected by small majority, but that
the legislature will be against him,
so that he will be powerless to carry
out the policies of the league. The
league has won because the state had
been misgoverned by a political ma
chine, but the farmers are now COM
ing to the conclusion that the league
program is not affording the prom
Used relief, and are deserving it, Two
are, in his opinion, the increase in
taxes and the failure of the Townley
stores to afford the reductions in
prices promised to their patrons.

To assist in solving the local hous-
ing situation Dr.. L. G.. Kinney and
F. C. Forrest this week started work
on a spacious double residence on c

FOOTBALL TRAINING
NOT ALL, SAYS COACH
State College Mentor Stresses Mould
ing of Character on Gridiron--
Talks in Optimistic Vein

Coach Gustayius Welch of the
State College football team made his
first appearance of the season before
the chamber of commerce at the
Tuesday luncheon and discussed the
prospects for a successful season
from an optimistic viewpoint. "The
coaching staff fully realizes that his
football training is not the most inn
portant part of a students work,
said Coach WEIGH. land we attempt
to instill the feeling that college
work is paramount. We realize also
the opportunity which is ours to
mould character on the gridiron and
take advantage of this opportunity
to make the football players better
students, better men and better citi-
zens. This, we believe. is as much
part of our work as turning out
winning football team This year we
hope to accomplish both" Coach

TAKE NEW CENSUS
OF PULLMAN CITY
stephenson Reports Eleven Hundred
in Two College Hill Precincts
Official Count Was 1906

The chamber of commerce is pro-
ceeding with its enumeration of the
city to secure evidence of a short
count to submit to the federal su-
pervisor of census in substantiation
OF the claim that the city was under
enumerated by the official agents
j. R. Stephenson has completed the
census on the two College hill pre-
cincts, finding approximately 100
bona fide residents in the two pre-
clncts as against 1866 reported by
the official enumerators. While the
error in the College hill precincts was
slight, according to a comparison of
the two sets of figures, it is claimed
by many that a far greater discrep-
ancy will be found in the other two
precincts and that the city count will
snow a greater population than 10
years ago. One reason advanced for
Pullman's small gain in population
during the past ten years is the
claim that 10 years ago some 400
or 500 citizens who resided outside
the city limits. in McGee flats, San
gers addition, and other additions
not included in the corporate limits
were enumerated in 1910 and ex-
cluded this year.
William Porter, chairman of the
committee named by the chamber of
commerce to take steps to secure an
official recount, this week received
a letter from W. f. McCroskey, SUI
peryisor for this district. in which
Mr.. McCroskey stated his willingness
to personally supervise a recount if
it were granted by the federal super
visor. He stated that from informa-
ton received he believed that Pull
man was under enumerated and
would use his influence to secure the
federal recount.

TELLS Of WORK OF
THE SALVATION ARMY
Mrs, Robinson Delivers Impelling Adj
dress Before Chamber of Com
merce on Work of Great
Organization

One of the most impelling and
forceful addresses ever made before
the Pullman chamber of commerce
was that delivered Tuesday by Mrs.
Allen Roe Robinson, st. Joseph, Mo-,
who was here to interest the Pull
man citizens in the Salvation Army
and it's plans for humanitarian work
She related the history of the organ
ization from the time of it's inception
in London 81 years ago to the pres
ent time, and outlined the methods
used by the organization in reaching
the hearts of the unfortunates and
again establishing their manhood
and womanhood. Mrs. Robinson gave
the B. P. o. E. organization full
credit for bringing the Salvation
Army and it's work to the attention
OF the world and making it possible
for the Salvation Army to render eff
ficient services overseas during the
war and more thorough work at
home after the war. She outlined
the enlarged plan of the organization
for future work and stated that in
stead of membership in the organiza-
tion being confined to the uniformed
members of the Army, now promi-
nent men in all parts of the country
have become associated with the
work and are giving freely of their
time and ability in the interests of
the organization.
Mrs. Robinson was formerly an Of
ficer in the Salvation Army but is
now an attorney at st. Joseph Mo.
In her remarks she took hold of the
hearts of her hearers in manner
that could not be resisted and each
of the rs business men who heard
her left the chamber of commerce
room thirty-third degree boosters for
the great organization which she rep
resents, and resolved to put Pullman
we'll over the top in the Salvation
Army quota of $4,000 during Oppor-
tunity Week, October 7 to Is.
Mrs. Robinson's graphic stories Of
the deplorable conditions which eX
list in the slums of the large eastern
cities and the heroic efforts of the
Salvation Army lads and lassies to
combat these evils brought tears to
the eyes of many of her hearers.
Every year, she said, $500 young
girls, who go to New York to work
or study, are met at the stations by
agents of the vice rings and inveigled
into a life of shame, against their
wishes. Many of these are returned
to their parents through the work of
the Salvation Army, over 500 of
these unfortunates being restored in
New York city last year.
The speaker also dealt with the
corruption of the police departments
of the eastern cities, citing an in
stance in her own city, st. Joseph,
Mo. A 16-year-old girl was kid

MUSICAL EVENT
BEST IN YEARS
Ticket Sale for Concert of Minneapo-
lis Symphony Orchestra Opens
Next Saturday Morning

Tickets for the Pullman concert
of the Minneapolis Symphony orches-
ira, which will be held in the col
lege auditorium on the evening of
Thursday, October Z, will be on sale
at Watts pharmacy beginning to-
morrow, Saturday morning
This attraction will surpass any
musical event held at the college for
a number of years and is expected
to attract a capacity audience
The faculty committee has placed
the price of tickets at a very low
price, considering the great cost of
bringing such a large organization
The price of admission has been
fixed at So. College students may
purchase tickets at $3.50 upon pre-
sentation of their student passes.
Emil Oberhoffer, conductor of the
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra,
which will play at the college audi
forum on October 7, occupies a
unique position in the musical world
today. The Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra is the only one of the great
American orchestras which has
grown to artistic maturity under the
conductor who formed it and which
still continues under his baton. Emil
Oberhoffer has been the conductor
Of the Minneapolis Symphony Or
Chestra from its inception, Is years
ago, and the unprecedented develop
ment of this orchestra from its begin
ming to its present position as one
of the greatest symphonic bodies in
the world, is due largely to his gen.
ius, tact and magnetic personality
Mr.. Oberhoffer has been called the
"poet-conductor," and his interpreted
tions are remarkable for their yiril-
ity, unusual musical insight and a
temperamental warmth which lends
peculiar charm and reveals new
and unsupported beauties, even in
familiar works. Without question he
is one of the strongest personalities
at the head of a great orchestra in
America, and in the opinion of many
of the authoritiye musicians and
critics of the country the orchestra
has but one peer in America, and I'M
der its remarkable conductor plays
with a vitality, buoyancy and origin
ality of style not equalled by any
other before the American public.
Mr.. Oberhoffer has under his baton,
a body of players which includes
many artists of the highest rank and
the personnel OF the orchestra
throughout, man for man, will bear
comparison with that of any other
orchestra before the public. Prac-
tically all the members of the Min
neapolis orchestra have been brought
from the leading musical centers OF
this country and Europe. This has
been made possible by the remark
able support of the loyal people of
Minneapolis. who have given the nee
esary financial backing to enable Mr..
Oberhoffer to build his orchestra
