HAWCROFF ARRESTED
FOR STORE BURGLARY
Attempts to Implicate Two Other
Boys Fail When Boys Prove
Alibis

A young man who gave his name
as Hawcroff was arrested last Thurs
day on John Doe warrant, charg-
ing him with burglarizing the White
drug store and was taken to Colfax
for a preliminary hearing. 1t is
claimed that Hawcroff is on parole
from the Idaho reform school. He
Is said to have admitted his guilt
and to have made attempts to impli-
cate two other Pullman youths.
Both of them proved alibis. how
ever, and it is believed that Haw-
croft alone was responsible for the
burglary, which netted some $40 in
cash and number of small articles
from the stock. At the time of the
burglary a note was left on the cash
register bearing the message: Three
bad men will get you"

FINE SPIRIT
EXEMPLIFIED BY COLFAX

That the citizens of Pullman ap-
preciate to the fullest extent the ad-
mirable spirit displayed by the peo-
pie of Colfax when they sent a cara
van of automobiles loaded with fire
fighters and equipment to the assist
ance of Pullman at the time of the
big blaze in the business district cleo
ton day. was evidenced by action
taken by the chamber of commerce
last Tuesday. Upon unanimous vote
OF the members of the organization
the secretary was instructed to pre-
pare letter of appreciation to be
forwarded to the county seat COM
mercial club and the city council.
Within a few minutes after Colfax
had learned of the blaze, which for
time threatened the entire bust
ness district, a dozen touring cars
loaded with Colfax citizens and two
truck loads of hose were on their
way to assist in extinquishing the
flames. The harmony and good feel
ing existing between the two biggest
towns of the county can not but re-
suit in good to both communities

WOULD MAKE ARM|STICE
DAY SCHOOL HOLIDAY
Representative f. Il. Sanger viii BE
Asked to Introduce Bill to that
Effect in State Legislature

Frank E. Sanger, representative
elect from this district, will be asked
by the Pullman chamber of commerce
to introduce a bill in the next legis-
lature declaring Armistice Day le-
sal school holiday. Upon unanimous
vote of the chamber at it's luncheon
Tuesday the legislative committee
was instruced to petition Represent
alive Sanger to introduce such bill.
The action was taken after Superin-
tendent Charles Henry of the local
school system had stated that under
the existing school laws it is abso-
lutely impossible for a school board
to declare a holiday of it's own Volt
ton. Some of the high school stu
dents are service men, and desire to
attend the county Armistice Day Gel
ebration at Colfax. To make this
possible the classes opened Thursday
morning an hour earlier than usual
and closed at noon, thus giving the
district the number of class hours
necessary to constitute a day under
the existing school laws.

BIG SIX" WILL FEED
HUNGRY CITIZENS
Chamber of Commerce Banquet
Scheduled for Tuesday Evening
In X. of 4. Hall

Next Tuesday evening WI occur
event in the history of the Pullman
chamber of commerce. On that even
ing, at the X of p. hall, the 800
members of the chamber will sit
down to a sumptuous banquet at the
expense of the mooted Big Six" in
Guiding F. r. Sanger, Lee Allen, f.
c. Forrest, Robert Neill, j. n. Scott
and c. A. Isaacs. While an air of pro-
found mystery surrounds the plans
for the big event, something startling
and unusual is promised by the Big
Six" while the committee of the
whole, headed by Jim" Klemgard
and Tom Martin, promises that the
chamber at large will not come out
second best in the contest of wits
which is expected to feature the big
occasion.
Secret meetings are being held by
both factions almost daily, and one
of the richest entertainments in the
history of Pullman is anticipated,
with Qualification and wit running
rampant,
The feed itself will be a banquet
fit for the kings. What ever else
may be said of the defeated Six,
they are not accused of lack of
gameness, and their promise of a
feed that will satisfy the fondest
hopes of the multitude is assurance
for 100 per cent realization.
Every member of the chamber is
urged to attend the banquet Gov
ers will be laid for 300.
The banquet is the result OF a
friendly contest staged recently be-
tween the Big Six and the commit
tee Of the whole. The "SiX" chal-
lenged the entire organization to a
membership campaign contest, with
the banquet as the penalty to be paid
by the losers. After a sensational con-
test that savored of questionable tao
tics, but added over 100 names to
the chamber rolls, the big Six
were declared losers and promptly
pledged themselves to make good
on their promise.

WHEAT TOUCHES BOTTOM
WITH S1.25 OFFERED
Thirty-two Cent Decline i'm Six-Day
Period Following Eleven-Cent
Advmce---Markets
Demoralized

The farmer who could have found
a market for his wheat in this city
Tuesday afternoon would have re-
ceived $l.25 per bushel for the pro-
duct. That was the nominal price
quoted by the local buyers, but few
of them were anxious to buy even at
that figure, and none of the farm
ers were willing to sell. During the
six-day period from November 3 to
November the Chicago markets
showed a decline of 80 cents, one OF
the most sensational slumps in the
history of the grain exchanges, and
in sympathy with the Chicago quota
tions local wheat dropped cores
pondingly. Wednesdays increase of
fraction over II cents came as
abruptly as the previous declines had
come, however, and many grain buy
ers and farmers believe that the bot
tom was touched Tuesday with pros
poets for substantial advances The
steady slump in prices, ranging from
three to nine cents, during the six
day period of depression, democrat
lied the local markets to a great ex-
tent and several buyers were entirely
wheat only on consignment.
An even dollar marks the differ
ence between the highest prices paid
for wheat in Pullman this season and
the lowest quotation offered At the
outset of the selling season few
farmers sold portions of their crops
at $2.25, the vast majority, however,
holding for expected three dollar
wheat" Almost Immediately the
market started to decline and the
farmers, unwilling to sell on a falling
market, hung on to their crops. with
the price going down and down, al
most daily, until the low mark of the
season, $1.25, was reached Tuesday
of this week.
A very small percentage of the
Pullman wheat has been sold. The
only recent sale reported Is two
carload lot purchased Saturday of
last week at $1.58.
The following figures, showing the
closing quotation on December wheat
in the Chicago exchange to No
yember 10, when an 11-cent advance
WAS noted will prove Interesting:
