BIG BENEFIT GAME
FOR ATHLETIC FIELD
High School Basket Ball Team Will
Play State College Frosh i'm Col
lege Gym Tuesday Evening

AS result of the interest shown
by the chamber of commerce in To-
cal affairs, the high school has been
provided with an athletic field. In
the past the fields used by the high
school athletes have been very un-
handy OF access and also in poor
shape for athletic work
The new field is ideally situated.
not more than a block from the high
school building The land acquired
by the chamber is the plot used a
few years ago by the Standard Lum-
Der company for its yard and office.
For the present, at least, the field
can be used only for practice pur-
poses, owing to the wor!. which must
be done in grading and filling be-
fore a regulation football field can
be laid out. However, the students
selves and in time to come, with the
work completed, Pullman high school
will have one of the best stadiums
| in this section of the country.
/ In addition to being an athletic
! field for the high school. the field
will prove favorite playground OF
| the younger children because OF It's
location in relation to the school
| buildings.
The chamber has gone sOlidly be-
hind this project in regard to fl
nances but it is the wish of the high
school to help pay as large a pro-
portion of the cost as possible. In
/ order to do this. through the CO.
operation of Director of Athletics
/ Boiler and the college authorities
basketball game between the high
school team and the w. S. c. frosh
has been arranged at the college
gymnasium on Tuesday evening
March 2, at 1880 O'CLOCK.
All money taken in at this game
will be used to apply on the field.
The high school students will have
charge of the ticket sale and have
set their goal at 1000 tickets. The
town will be divided into districts
and everyone will be given an OPP
portunity to buy ticket and thus
]
help the athletic field fund.
In respect to the game, it will be
one of the most interesting possible.
A few weeks ago the two teams
played and the high school won %
20. AS a result of this defeat the
lrosh team will fight harder than
ever, while the high school team Will
attempt to win to keep their record
clean. which at the present time con-
tains no defeats.
+, This game will doubtless be the
last opportunity the people of Pull
nan will have to see the champion
ship high school team in action. ms

FORCES CITY TO STOP
EMPTY|NG SEPTIC TANK
X. Smawley Secures Restraining
order and Work Is Halted
Claims Tank II Public
Menace

The work of the city in cleaning
the septic tank just west of the city
vos suddenly halted last week when
x. Smawley went before the SUI
,orior court in Colfax and secured
temporary restraining order, com
handing the city to desist from
emptying the filth from the tank in
to the South Palouse river. The re-
straining order was served on city
officials by Sheriff Mcclure, and is
effective until March l, when a hear
inc will be held on motion to make
the order permanent. Mr.. Smawley
complainant alleges that work OF
cleaning the tank was started We'd
nesday morning of last week. He
claims that layer of filth three
feet thick had formed over the top
and that this was broken into large
chunks and floated through a chan
mel into the river These chunks,
he alleges, formed dam in the
river backing the water. and Great
ing a condition that was a menace
to public health. He put up a bond
Of $1,000 to secure the restraining
order
Mr. Smawley recently started suit
against the city of Pullman for
$4,000 damages, claiming that the
septic tank, which is less than 200
yards from his residence, is a menace
to the health of himself and others
He alleges that at times the stencil
from the tank is almost unbearable
and that when the filth is emptied
into the river it lodges against the
trees and the water is not cleared
for days
The city has recently investigat-
ed the situation from several angles
but has taken no steps to clear the
situation that are satisfactory to Mr..
Smawley.
II these people who claim that
the tank is sanitary and not public
menace will come with me for about
10 minutes | will show them condi-
tons near my property that will
open their eyes to the true state of
affairs, said Mr.. Smawley this
week. 'Emptying the tank twice IA
year and permitting the filth to en-
Ter the river will but add to the
menace and should not be permitted
. IN the interests of public health the
city should take immediate and
drastic action toward removing a
condition which, through recent ad-
'eftlslng, is casting a stigma OF
shame on the city as well as being
menace to the health of the com
munity."
