Shot

Eve must break up the practice
of annoying women on the streets,
said Mayor Conway this morning
as he sentenced Fitzhugh Nutter to
nav fine of $50 and spend ten
days in Jail. "Things have come to
a pretty pass when woman can
be insuIted in the center Of the
shopping district in the middle OF
the afternoon. The next person
found guilty of such a detestable
crime, will get the full limit OF the
law"
afternoon for having molested a
woman in front of Martins drug
store. That Nutter was drunk, is
no excuse, said City Attorney AL
bert j. Kern, in answer to Nutter's
defense that he had no very clear
idea of what he had done, and he
recommended to Mayor Conaway
that the accused be given q stiff
sentence. Mike Cain, an old Of;
fender, was given five days in jail
to sober up completely. Mike has
been up several times of late.
Mike Davis drew a fine Of $40
and costs, for being drunk and dis
orderly. He was arrested last night
on Water street after he, had
raised a disturbance in the store
kept by Mrs. Joe Ferris on Water
street.

Attorney Musgrave explained
that his client was from a part of
the country where parking rules
have never been made or enforced

less manner on Main street last
Thursday afternoon. Mckinney

Campbell as witnesses but was

Great Hotel Is Uncompl.ted.

Twentieth century London will Won
der at the steel skeleton Of frames
and Orders, seven stories high that
rises above Piccadilly.
The structure was started seven
years ago. 1t was intended to be the
Park Lane hotel and would have been
one of the most elegant and best stu
ated hotels Of England. But since the
outbreak Of the war not Il stroke Of
work has been done on the structure.
Today 1t stands just as 1t stood when
the last workman left 1t In 1914.
The year 1921, with tight money,
labor troubles and high costs, Is not
a good time to start building expensive
hotels. No buyers are In sight, and
it Is improbable that any will appear.

Retaining Used Paper.

Though chemical processes for the
reclamation of printed book paper
have been In use for some time, their
efficiency is reduced by the fact that
the mechanical puIping forces the
ink permanently into the fibers, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. BY o
method recently patented, Il mixture
of ten pounds Of borax, ten pounds OF
soap, two gallons of kerosene and two
gallons Of pine oil is used for soaking
1000 pounds Of stock, with enough wa
ter to make three to six PEI
cent pulp. The heater used pulls the
stock apart gently, with a minimum
breakage of the fibers, and the process
Is continued for an hour or less, with
the pulp heated to from 165 to l9C
degrees Fahrenheit by live steam. The
separated Ink and the chemicals are
then washed away by the usual
method, and the reclaimed pulp Is
ready to be bleached.

Monte Carlos Bio Profits.

At the annual general meeting of
the Casinos shareholders at Monte
Carlo recently 1t was announced that
the receipts for the year 1920-21 were
61,0OO,0OO francs from roulette and
trent ct quarante, 5,0O0,0OO from bac.
carat and chemin de fer, and 3,OO00OO
from entrance fees, the total being
69OOO,00O francs. This is 12,0O0OON
more than last year. The expenses
were 47,000,000 francs, the profit be-
ing 22,0O0,000.
A dividend of 275 francs per share
was declared, which, with the 20
francs paid last November, makes a
total dividend of 300 francs per share.
This Is 80 francs more than was paid
last year.
1t Is said that the tips" contributed
by winners at the various tables for
the benefit of the employees amounted
to as much as 100000 francs. Thus
the grand total left" by players at
the Casino and the Sporting club
works out Mt 75,5OO,OOO francs.
But that there are chances for some
body Is proved by the feat of Mr..
Svendsen, who won $4,000 francs one
Sunday, on which day the money at
the table had to be replenished no few.
er than five times.

trict levies at less than $1,000.

trict levies at less than $1,000.
A total cut approximately $685.
600 from last years levy is noted
in the current expense fund, of
which $4,000 is due to cuts in the
estimate and about $4,000 is due
to the estimated amount of receipts
balances and rebates above the total
of three items last year.
Summing up the actual cuts
which will be possible in the amount
of money to be raised by taxation,
there is the $4,000 mentioned in
the current expense fund, the $4,000
net reduction in the road district
levies, and cut of $4,000 in Whit
man county's share of the state tax,
grand total of $93, 900 reductions
from last year.
But to offset the reductions in
some departments it is found that
there is an increase of approximately
100000 in the road and bridge fund
due entirely to the payments which
the county must make as its so per
cent on the cost of construction of
Donahue roads, an increase of APP
proximately 100000 in the general
and bond redemption school funds
and approximately $4,000 increase
in the high school fund, a grand
total increase of $141, 900, to be off
set by the grand total reduction of
$4,000, leaving the amount of tax
to be raised in Whitman county next
year at approximately $4,000 more
than for the present year These
figures do not include city taxes,
which are assumed at this time to
be approximately the same as for
the present year.
A levy of little less than one
mill will cover the increase of $48,-
600 in Whitman county taxes
In trimming the estimates for
road district work for the coming
year the commissioners made cuts
from last years levy in the differ
ent districts of amounts approx
mately as follows: District No. 3,
$4,000; No. A, $4,000; No. 5, $4,000;
No. 7, $4,000; No. 8, $4,000; No. 9,
$500; No II, $1,000; No. 10,
$1600.-Colfax Gazette.

Lofty Pole Erected by q. A. II. in
1912 for State Encampment Is
Taken Down

Interesting "reminiscences woven
about the planting of the lofty city
flag pole at Main and Grand streets
several years ago were brought to
light Tuesday when the giant pole
was removed to comply with city
ordinances forbidding the planting
OF poles in places where they would
interfere with traffic. The pole was
81 feet in height and was planted
in 1912, just previous to the state
q. A. r, encampment, which. Incl
dentally was one of the most sue
cessful ever held and brought much
valuable advertising to Pullman.
Through the solicitation of A. B.
Baker, lifelong friend of the old sol
diers and the only honorary mem
Der on the rolls of Whitman Post No.
SO, funds for the securing and plant
ing OF the pole were raised by popu-
lar subscription. Uncle Dick" Lam
INNS a pADlICCl VI. ~. n. man Vi lHlS
city, now located at Port Townsend,
was delegated by his comrades to
make trip to the mountains and
select timber that would give Pull
man the tallest single piece flag pole
in the Inland Empire. After many
hours of search Mr. Lanning selected
his tree and with the assistance of
other men the tree was felled, the
bark and limbs removed and the
pole loaded on a dray and brought
to Pullman
Soon after the pole was planted
arrangements were made for the
first flag-raising, and, with Uncle
Dick Lanning, Pat" Ryan and K.
p Allen (deceased) acting as mas
ters of ceremonies, the silken colors
were floated from the top of the
treasured pole just few days prior

STOCK JUDGERS VISIT
TO GET PRACTICAL WORK

Teams from the high schools of
Walla Walla, Waitsburg, Colville,
Garfield, Tekoa, Fairfield and Mos
cow, totaling approximately 80 men,
spent Friday and Saturday Judging
the different types and classes OF
livestock on the college farm.
AS high schools have no stock to
afford the students practical work
in judging they were extended an
invitation by Professor Hackedorn
of the department. or animal hus-
bandry, to work on the college stock.
The work done here was in the ma
ture of preparation to enter COM
petitive judging at the Western
Royal stock show to be held in Spo-
kane this month.
The men were cared for by MEM
bers of the Alag. club, who helped
in the judging work, and arranged
for the entertainment of the visiting
teams.
