A condition almost as bad pre-
vailed in Pullman country precinct,
No. 81, the booths for this precinct
also being in the depot warehouse at
$3.50. Several voters came from a
long distance to cast their ballots
and returned home after waiting an
hour for the polls to open. Finally
the election board was reused up,
the materials secured and the polls
opened, when it was discovered that
but SO republican ballots and a. like
number of democratic ballots had
been sent, together with only 80
judicial ballots, to serve the 100 reg

up call for more ballots was sent to

WHEAT SELLING HALTS
WHEN PRICES TUMBLE
Seven Cent Decline in Quotations
Tuesday Cause of General Let Up
in Selling Rush

With an abrupt decline of seven
cents in the wheat market last Tues
day the rush to sell came to as abrupt
an end and the markets have been
quiet since. The decline came after
the market had reached the highest
point of the season, with white wheat
quoted at 1929 and red wheat at
$2.27. Those prices prevailed Mon
and considerable local wheat was
thrown on the market, estimates of
grain buyers being that 20 per cent
of the crop had been disposed of be-
lore the selling rush halted.
Threshing was at a standstill from
Saturday until Wednesday afternoon
as a result of heavy rains, the second
time this season that the harvest has
been interrupted by weather condi-
tions. Several stationary outfits re-
sumed operations Tuesday noon and
combines took to the field Wednes-
day morning 1t is estimated that
60 per cent of the crop is now in
the sack.

PULLMAN KICKS ON
POPULATION FIGURES
Unofficial Returns Show Loss of 1862
in Last Ten YearS-Figures Pal
pabIy IncOrrect-Will Ask
Recount 4

Pullman is anything but pleased
with the 1920 unofficial census fig
ures as given in Sundays dailies and
will petition w. E. McCroskey, Of
Colfax, census supervisor for this
district, for full recount to remedy
the alleged error. The matter was
taken up at the chamber of COM
merce luncheon Monday and it was
pointed out that while between $50
and 200 houses have been construct
ed here in the last 10 years, and
every one of them occupied at this
time, the census figures show loss
of 1862 in population during the To-
year period. The unofficial figures,
as published Sunday, credit Pullman
with a population of only 2440, as
against an official census of 2602
in 1910.
The chamber of commerce au-
thorized the appointment of COM
mittee of three to take the matter
up with the proper authorities i'm
mediately, and delegated to the COM
mittee full power to select a man or
men to take the full census and COR
rect the federal figures. Five years
ago the city took an unofficial CEN
sus and found over 1000 persons in
the city, exclusive of college stu
dents. 1t is believed that since that
time the population has increased by
at least 500, giving thes city an esti-
mated population of $500 or more.
I'VE have been cheated out of
1000 population" stated one promi-
nent citizen as he urged that steps
be taken to correct the figures.
The unofficial count gives Pull
man the following population by pre-
ainnfc.

W.S.C. FOOTBALL MEN
START SEASONS WORK
Good Sized Squad on Hand for In
itiaI Turnout-Moe Sax Returns
and Local Stock Is Boosted

Training exercises designed to
loosen up the work-hardened mus
cles of Coach Welch's football men
occupied the attention of the coach
ing staff at the first turnout of the
season yesterday afternoon. About
dozen men were on hand for the
workout and several more are ex-
pected today and tomorrow, al
though few of the men will be at
least week late in reporting, due
to the late harvest season. Local
stock took a substantial boost when
Moe Sax, the midget quarterback of
last years freshman team, put in an
appearance and told Doc" Boiler
he was going after the regular quar-
terback job on the varsity team. 1t
was reported here the first of the
week that Sax had transferred his
affections to o. A G. to take ad-
vantage of the $25 monthly bonus
for Oregon service men, but the pep
ny quarter Cudu5Su HIS llluu anu re-
turned to the State College.
Sax was the sensation of the sea-
son last year, leading the frosh team
to many victories by means of his ex-
cellent headwork and his ability to
negotiate long runs through brok-
en- field
The entire coaching staff is now
on the job, including Gustavus
WEIGH, head coach; J. F. Boiler
trainer and physical director;
Hack" Applequist, line coach, and
Norm" Moss, freshman coach.
Among the first of the players to
put in an appearance was Captain
Fred Hamilton, tackle. Other play
ers who participated in the initial
exercises were Sax, Skadan, Bohan-
an, Kotula, Ellwart, Shields, George
Ray King, Dunlap, LOOMS, Roy and
Harold Hanley and Moran. Dunton
Sanberg, Hall, David and McGrew, OF
last years frosh team, are expected
daily as are also the Schnebly
twins and Trom9nhauser.
No organized team play will be at
tempted for several days, the next
week to be devoted to setting-up ex-
ercises, outdoor volley ball and rudi-
mentary football work.
Coach WEIGH was in Spokane We'd
nesday to attend the w. S. c. alumni
luncheon and stir up interest in the
State College-Gonzaga game, to be
played October g.. Negotiations are
now under way for practice game
with the Camp Lewis eleven, to be
played in Tacoma on October 2, and
it is probable that the game will be
scheduled. This will give Coach
Welch's men hard practice game
before they go against the fighting
Irishmen.

the census supervisor permits of a
recount that George Schroeder, prin-

OUTLOOK FOR ATHLETICS
AT ROLLINS MOST PROMISING

The outlook for athletics for the
coming college year at Rollins is en-
couraging.
With much good material for base
ball and basketball, the new athletic
director and coach, Prof. William r..
Brewster, will have the makeup of
several good teams in each of these
sports.
Mr.. Brewter will bring to his work
al Rollins not only genuine enthus-
iastic interest in college athletics, but
of successful teams in the Vermont
school with which he has recently
been connected also his experience in
army training camps.
The general policy Of the Rollins
athletic program this year, as in for
mer years, will be training for all
interested in qualifying for any Of
the college sports.
The real object of college athletics
is the physical development of the
student body as whole as we'll as
tie training of certain special college
representative teams.
With this end in view compre-
hensive program is being considered,
which will give every student oppor-
tunity to qualify for some one or
more of the college sports. major or
minor.
Miss Isabel Edwards who success
fully conducted the physical educa-
ton work for girls at Rollins last
year, including the training of girls
in swimming, basketball, ETC., will
work out an even more constructive
program this coming year, the de-
tailed plans of which will be an
nounced later.
The educational value of properly
directed physical education and bene-
fits received from training in teams
in any of the popular physical sports
is no longer matter of controversy
In the long run the best students and
the most successful men and women
of later life are those who have not
neglected the physical side of the
academy and college life.
Friends Of the college will be in
terested to know that Chancellor
Brooks in his plans for the college
will place due emphasis on this side
Of college life and give his hearty
support and cooperation to a con-
structed and l-co-ordinated pro-
gram.
Former Athletic Director, Mr.. Ray
Greene, now in Office Of the secretary
to the President, will lend his devot-
ed efforts to the success Of the above
program.
Aquatic ports will be stressed more
than ever. Aquatic contests will I've
scheduled and the increasing interest
of last year in aquatics will be cap
