The gift was rendered at a banquet
in honor OF Mr.. Clark in celebration
of his 73d birthday which occurred
the Thursday previous. In front of
Mr.. Clark at the banquet, which
came as complete surprise. was a
mammoth birthday cake, with 10
burning candles. The presentation
OF the gift was made by James S.
| Klemgard, another Pullman pioneer
and pupil under Mr. Clark in school
some 40 years ago. Mr. Clark is a
charter member of the Rebekah
lodge, which was organized March
), 1896. He also has the distinc-
ton of being one of the two surviv-
ing charter members of Pullman
1 lodge No. 30, l. o. O. F., which was
organized April 10, 1884, and for
2 years past has worn a veteran S
| jewel, indicating % years Of con-
, tinuous membership. The only other
charter member still living is Enos
Burns. Pullman pioneer now liv-

Mr.. Clark came to Whitman coun-
! ty in 1878 from the Willamette val
/ ley in Oregon, and took a preemp-
ton tract near the head of Wawawai

/ term as city treasurer. He is now
in his 18th year in that position and
( for many years past has been elect
ed, without opposition, by the big
gest vote cast for any official. On

mended by state auditors for the
thoroughness with which he keeps
the city accounts Despite his adj
vanced age he is still hale and hearty
and enjoys a mentality as keen as
/ that of his youth. Mr.. Clark has a
remarkable faculty for remembering
names and dates and could write

DISCOUNT SCHEDULE
FIXED BY BUYERS
Discounts Will BE Less on Good
Wheat and Greater on Poorer
Grain Than Last Year

The Merchants Exchange of Port
land and Seattle has fixed new dis
count schedule for wheat for the
1921 season which will be followed
by grain buyers throughout the dis
trict. The new schedule reduces the
discount on clean grain but increases
the dockage on the poor grades. Very
little of the latter kind is raised in
the Palouse country, however, and
the farmers of this section will I'M
doubtedly profit by the revision. The
new schedule of discounts is as fol-
lows:
Discounts for Durum, Hard Red
Winter, Red Winter, Common White,
White Club; 60 lbs. Test to be No. L.
(Our Fife, Turkey Red, Club, White
Hybrid, Early Bart, Bluestem and
Forty Fold.)

BLUE HORSE UNNAMED;
-FOUR RIDERS UNSEATED
Harry Pruitt of Lewiston Wins First
Prize in BuCking ConteSt-Weeks
Bets 500 He Can Ride Blue
Horse and Loses

Harry Pruitt of Lewiston, Idaho,
won first prize for riding ability at
the wild west show and bucking CON
test held Sunday afternoon at the
Clay Barr place, 10 miles west of
Pullman. Second prize went to Len
Mael of Pullman and third to Frank
Bedick of Pullman Over 1000 per-
sons witnessed the exhibitions of
fancy and stunt riding and it is esti-
mated that fully 500 automobiles
were parked around the big field
where the exhibition was held The
blue Hickman horse went through
the afternoon untamed, throwing
four riders. The same horse unseat-
ed all the buckaroos at the contests
held on Rogers field the Fourth of
July and local enthusiasts have hurled
def at the best riders in the North
west to tackle the horse for a purse.
Forty dollars was offered Sunday
to anyone who would stay with the
horse 80 seconds. George Weeks,
of Waha lake, Idaho, offered to bet
800 that he could ride the horse,
but after the bet was called was
thrown in eight seconds.
Bert Hovey of Montana was one
of the best riders on the field Sun
day but did not enter the contests,
combining his efforts to exhibition
riding. William Smith of Moscow
was touted as a world beaten but
failed to show expected class.
Eleven riders participated in the
purse contests and some clever rid
ing was seen.
A feature of the exhibition was a
steer riding demonstration by COun-
ty Assessor j. NJ. Klemgard of Col
fax. The county official guaranteed
to stay with his unusual mount only
80 seconds but rode the enraged ami
NAL three minutes and dismounted
only when his trousers were torn al
most to shreds.
Many people took their lunches
and picnicked all day at the Barr
place, and the event was a pro-
nounced success

Requests for Information and High
School Credentials Submitted In
dictate Big Increase

That the opening of the State Col
lege of Washington on September l9
will see the largest student body in
the history of the institution is the
opinion of college officials who are
checking up requests for information
and high school credentials submit
ted by students from all parts of the
state The four dormitOries are fast
filling but the rooms offered by pri-
vate citizens in residences are not
yet touched and it is believed that
less difficulty will be encountered in
finding rooms for the students than
last year. The various fraternities,
sororities and other groups, to the
number of 26, will be in a position to
take care of many more members
than ever before, and it is predicted
that nearly 700 students will find
places in the houses maintained by
these organizations.
The improvement this summer OF
High street and numerous side
streets on Methodist hill has opened
up many possibilities for board and
room for students in that district.
which was never before considered
available, and improvements in Col
lege Park and Sanger's addition are
expected to open up more opportuni-
ties in those districts. A mammoth
apartment house on College hill, now
nearing completion, will still further
relieve the situation.
The housing situation was dis
cussed at length at the chamber OF
commerce meeting Tuesday and the
general feeling was that much less
difficulty will be encountered in TAX
ing care of incoming families and
students than for the past few years.
A committee including D. F. Staley,
T II. FoIger and B. L. Steele was named
to list all houses which will be
available for students as well as
those which might be made habitable
by the time college opens. The COM
mittee will report back to the cham

PULLMAN SOLDIERS
RETURN FROM CAMP
Officers aud Members of Co. Is, Ma
tional Guard Returned Sunday
From Two-Weck Encamp-
menC

Anyone who saw the tanned faces
and observed the soldierly bearing
of the men Of Co. X, 16tst infantry,
as they marched through the
streets of Pullman, upon their re-
turn home last Sunday, will know
that the national guard of WASH
ington is living up to its reputation
of making men fit for the first line
of defense in any national crisis.
The return of Co. X marks the
end of the first encampment for the
local unit of the guard. The en-
campment was held at American
Lake from July to 16, inclusive,
and included the entire 161st regi-
ment of infantry total of 1900
men from all sections of the state.
The course of instruction was
quite strenuous, including besides
the eight hours of regular work,
such little details as k. p. duty,
guard duty, fatigue duty and all the
various duties known so well to
those who have seen service The
camp was commanded by Colonel w.
T. Patten, a graduate of West
Point and a true soldier. His spirit
pervaded the entire camp with the
result that government inspectors,
who were on the ground at all times,
gave the Washington national guard
very high rating for efficiency as
fighting unit
Aside from the serious phase of
making soldiers from civilians in
two short weeks, there were a great
many little incidents such as send
ing one Pullman man to the major
for l ) yards of skirmish line, and
General Victor Healey commanding
the regiment that made life at Camp
VIM. r. Mckay memory which will
linger long in the minds of all Co.
x men. In the evening the entire
regiment was free to do as they
pleased from $50 until TO- but few
took much advantage of the pass
privilege-all preferring to sleep for
the next days work. However Sum
day and Monday, July 3 and 4, were
full holidays, at which time the men
went to Seattle or to the auto races
at Tacoma To many OF the Pull
man men this trip was their initial
enc to the coast. and afforded them
the opportunity of seeing a section
of the state that was entirely strange.

Inasmuch as the konds being issued

NJ 10 years, the annual payments

The provisions of the new state

the error in the clause providing for
the method of payment was finally
discovered by Attorney Johnson OF
Portland, an attorney for bond buy

ton to pass the curative ordinance
before the bond sale could be COM
pleted.
1t is not believed that the discoy-
cry of the error will have any direct
effect on local improvement districts
