much satisfaction when they asked
him for his drivers license and
wanted to look over his car to see
that everything was as it should be.

Hinton was given one of the little
yellow slips which tells the bearer
to report to the chief Of police and
he didn't report. Yesterday Chief
of Police J. T. Endicott served city

driving q car without license plate
on thu front. Endicott accepted SIS
bail.
About noon Sheriff Roy G. Hoage
appeared with warrant, sworn to by
w. !. Clark. highway patrol officer.

SIX RULES FOR SPORTsNIEN

1. Be real spOrtsman.-There is
more honor in giving the game a
square deal than in getting the limit.
2. Make sure it's buck.-If you
can't see his horns-she hasn't any.
8. Help to enforce the game law.
Game and fish are public property
and only a game hog will take more
than his fair and legal share. Viola
tion should be reported to the nearest
deputy warden, forest ranger, or the
game protective association.
4. Respect the ranchman's prop.
erty.-He regards the man who
leaves his gates open, cuts his fences
disturbs his live stock, or shoots near
dwellings, as an outlaw. Put your.
self in his place.
8. BE careful with you camp fire
and n,atches.-One tree will make q
million matches; one matche can
burn q million trees.
6. Leave q clean camp and clean
recOrl.-Unburied garbage. crippled
game. and broken avs are poor monu.
ments for a sportsman to leave be-
hind him.

Jointly, and the Walla Walla Valley
railway, had representatives present
to ask reductions below the figures of

R. M. Bergunder, attorney for the
Seattle & Rainier Valley line, asked
the board to set a figure for that road
somewhere below the valuation ac-
cepted for purposes Of taxation for
1918. This figure was $4s3,0O0. For
1919 this was increased to $48S,5O0,
and in 1920 to $494,00O.
In the same period, despite i'm
provements made, Mr.. Bergunder
said. the value of the company's prop

basis as that presented by Mr.. Ber-
gunder for the Seattle road.
G. H. Kizer and Arthur v. Shaw,
appearing jointly for the Spokane
roads, presented the same problems
with added details as to losses in

which the board should draw its val

Olympians are preparing for the COM
ing years grind at school. Many CT
little bills" and "Marys" have been
preparing for this epochal event that
ends their joyous vacation days and
sets them at work once more on the
task OF education for some time.
School authorities are expecting to
take care of practically the same num-
Der Of children in the grade schools
this year as last year, but there is a
slight increase in attendance at the
high school.
Youngsters Like Vacation
There are few boys and girls
who take genuine pleasure n packing
up their books and starting to the
old school this morning, but despite
all the lessons taught, most of them
contemplate the beginning of the
school year in a different light.
There are, Of course several most
interesting things for youthful minds
to iwell upon each year. The new
teacher, for instance; the little girl
who SITE just ahead; or the new boy
with red hair. All of these attrac-
tion,, appear, but still youth will
''pout' and frown when mother called
early this morning from q heavy
sleep.
