FIGHTERS EVENLY MATCHED;
RECORD RECEIPTS ASSURED

NEW YORK, June 30-With a
difference in weight of about twenty
pounds when they meet in the ring
on Saturday, Dempsey and Carpen-
tier otherwise will appear almost
equal in build and stature. If both
were to mix in among few col
legiate athletes, football players
and oarsmen, probably neither of
them would be picked out as being
unusually big or formidable in gen.
eral makeup. Dempsey stands six
feet, one and one-half inches in
height, just two inches taller than
the French champion, and while
Carpenter will enter the ring at
about ITO pounds, Dempsey expects
to weigh about 100 pounds.
The champions shoulders are
broad, while Carpenters are slop-
ing in shape, but otherwise the
body measurements of the pair do
not differ to any marked extent.
Experts who have seen both men
are satisfied that they will be well
matched in speed and cleverness
but the majority believe that the
American will carry by far the
heavier weight in his blows. Dexter
ity and suppleness are claimed as
advantages for the Frenchman by
his followers but just how hard a
punch he can deliver is much of a
mystery.
Dempsey showed, in his bout with
Willard, at Toledo, that his blows
possess enormous Furnishing power
but his more recent encounters with
Bill Brennan, at Madison Square
Garden, did not demonstrate that he
still retains the forceful punch
necessary to successfully stand off a
man of Carpenters undoubted abil-
ity and cleverness.
Just how good the challenger is
or how hard blow he can land is
predetermined to the majority of
American fistic patrons, who have
seen him in action. His only bout
here, that with Levinsky, in Jersey
City, last year, did not afford much
of line on Carpenters prowess.
Levinsky, always clever boxer,
made practically no serious effort
to defend himself on that occasion
and went down and out an easy
victim for the Frenchman in the
fourth round.
Nearly 80 years have elapsed since
Queensberry rules and glove contests
were substituted for the London
prize ring code governing pugilistic
contests for championship titles. In
most of the bouts fought for the
heavyweight championship since the
change took place, there was a de-
cided advantage in stature between
the principals, but this did not al
ways carry victory with it.
Beginning with the Corbett-Sulli-
van battle at New Orleans in 1892,
the big Boston man was massive in
proportion to the 1.-the, supple and
extremely clever Californian but the
smaller man bore the big champion
down and annexed the title in the
21st. round. Corbett was nearly two
inches taller but Is pounds lighter
than Sullivan.
Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons were
more evenly matched in height and
age. Corbett was half an inch taller
and four years younger than the

and Dr.. Webb are dead, and Mr. Far
ris lives at Eugene, Ore.
While each of these four con-
tributed his part to the results
achieved, and without their joint eff
forts the college would likely have
been located elsewhere, nevertheless,
without taking from any one of them
any of the credit due him, and with
a present consciousness of the part
played by each of them, and especi-
ally by Dr. Webb, whose death was
the result of the great nervous strain
which he was under for several
years in relation to the college,
have no hesitancy in saying that it
would have been impossible to have
succeeded without the efforts and
services of Mr.. Letterman.
1t was his indomitable will that
overcame obstacles which appeared
to the others insurmountable and,
during times of discouragement il
was his confidence in our ultimate
success which gave us courage to re-
new the fight He backed his belief
with his money, at a time when very
few were able to raise money. even
for the necessities of life. The dark
err the hour, the more courage he
displayed When it appeared to the
others that the fight was lost he
would remind us that the Union
army was defeated when Sheridan
appeared and made his famous ride
to the front, and by his courage and
confidence made it possible for his
army to win the day.
1t was Mr.. Letterman's courage
and confidence that won the day for
Pullman in the most remarkable
achievement in the political history
of the state of Washington.

MRS. OSTERMANN DIED
AT FORT SHERIDAN

A letter received Saturday by Mrs
E. w Thorpe from Miss Jean Burns
a State College student now at Long
Beach, Calf, brings the news of the
death, on July IS, of Mrs. F. J. Os-
termann. Mrs. Ostermann was the
wife of Major Ostermann. former
commandant of cadets at the State
College, who left his post here for
active duty at the time Of the declar-
alton of war on Germany. Mrs. Os-
termann's death was caused by heart
failure, superinduced by the admin
istration of an anaesthetic previous
to a minor surgical operation, and
occurred at Fort Sheridan. Major
Ostermann has since removed to
Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana.
Mrs. Ostermann was well known
in Pullman and leaves many close
friends here who will regret to learn
of her sudden death. She is sur
vived by her husband and two chill
dren.

PREFACE

Events through which we live and
nave a part do not appear to us to be
OF much interest to others 1t had
not occurred to me that the events
leading up to and surrounding the To-
cation Of the State College at Pull
man would be of any particular in
terest to the present or future gem
erations, until after | had related
some of them at the last Foundation
Day at the college, when it was
suggested that | should write a short
review of the early days of the town
and college. 1t is in compliance with
that suggestion that | write the fol-
lowing very brief and very imperfect
"reminiscences of those days, and
trust that it may be of interest if
not of value, to the future historian.
l desire here to give the Hon. E..
Fl. Letterman, now deceased, a
credit which was unfortunately for
the city) withheld from him when he
was alive and able to appreciate it,
Mr.. Letterman, Dr. H. j. Webb
A. T. Farris and the writer were the
four whose efforts, assisted of course
by the citizens generally, located the
college in Pullman. Mr.. Letterman

NEW MEMS DORM. IN
Y. NJ. c. A. BUILDING
Accommodations for at Least Fifty
Students VIII BE Provided by
Alterations Now in Progress

Work was started Monday morn
ing on the remodeling of the college
Y. NJ. c. A. building, so as to provide
additional dormitory accommoda-
tons for at least 80 men students
The building is now owned by the
college Y. NJ. c. A. and is located on
property belonging to and leased
from the w, S. C. Alumni association.
The college will bear the expense
of remodeling the building and will
be recouped by portion of the rent
received from the rooms, the bal
ance going to the Y NJ. c. A.
The plans, which are being pre-
pared by Rudolph Weaver, college
architect, provide for the addition of
6 rooms, by utilizing the space now
occupied by the stage and auditor
ium. The present lobby and reading
room will be materially enlarged
and the kitchen and dining room will
also be enlarged SO as to provide ia
cilities for furnishing meals to all
the roomers. The building will be
heated by steam and there will be
two large and modernly equipped
shower baths and toilets on each
floor. The dormitory will be run on
the same basis as Ferry hall and the
women's dormitories, but will still
be used as headquarters for the Y.
M. C. A., and the alterations will not
in any way interfere with the work
of that organization. In fact, the
proposed changes will tend to facili-
tate the work of the Y. M. c. A. by
enlarging the lobby and reading
room and eventually the building Is
likely to be used as a Y. NJ. {. A
club.
A force of carpenters started Mon
day morning on the necessary altera-
lions and work will be rushed so as
tn have the new dormitory ready for
occupancy when college opens Sep
TENDER 10. The new dormitory VIII
be a big help in relieving the room
ing situation and because Of its con-
yenient location, is likely to prove a
popular place of residence for stu
dents.
The building was constructed dur
ing the war to provide Y. M C. A.
accommodations for the members Oh
the s. A. T. C. stationed at the state
College. The project OF remodeilng
it into a dormitory promises to pene-
fit both the college and the M.
C. A. R. C. MeCroskey, chairman Oh
the building committee of the board
of regents of the college, was in Pull
man last Saturday and officially ap-
proved the project. On account OF the
limited time in which the alterations
must be completed, Architect weaver
is preparing the plans as the WORK
! progresses.

EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF PULLMAN

quarter of section 5, in Novaml q
1891. 1t is on these lands that ne
main part of the townsite OF Gull
man is located.
1t Is significant fact that these
men took the land under the pre-
emption law, which required only
six months residence and the pay
ment of $1.25 per acre to acquire
title. 1t was evident that they did
not intend making this a permanent
home, but were imbued with the idea
then quite common among the early
settlers that the Palouse country was
a stock country and was of no value
for farming, but they lived to see the
land produce crops in greater abund-
ance than in the states from which
they came
The first post office was named
Three Forks from the fact n Il
Dry Fork, from the south. and Mis-
souri, Flat from the north, join the
south Palouse river here.
In the spring of 1881 Oryille Ste ~.
art opened a general store. and Bolin
Farr plated about 10 acres of his
land for a town site, and named it
Pullman, after George Pullman of
the Pullman Car company, who gave
$50 towards the first celebration of
July 4th held here.
Charles Moore of Moscow, Idaho,

December, 1882, he and Daniel Nc

CHAMBER BOOSTS
BUILDING PROGRAM
Plan Secured for Houses of Three
Complete for $500

Who will invest $3.50 in building
a house of three rooms, and thereby
render a patriotic service to the
State College and city of Pullman
That is the question which the cham
Der of commerce is putting up to the
residents of this community.
At the regular luncheon Tuesday,
the report of the special committee,
appointed to prepare plans and speci-
fications for the construction of a
small but neat type of house, was
the chief topic of discussion. Chair
man Barnard of the committee stat
ted that a plan had been secured for
a three-roOm bungalow which could
be erected ready for occupancy for
$3.50. Thte plan calls for a house
1920 feet, which includes a living
room 1Ox16 feet, a bedroom 8X10
feet, a kitchenette 6xS feet. a pantry
AXIS feet and a toilet. The house is
to be covered with stained shingles
and plastered or papered. 1t can be
constructed, including plumbing and
sewer connections for $3.50.
Mr.. Barnard stated that he was
going to build one of these houses
and hoped that several other citizens
would do likewise and thus help to
meet the acute demand for living &C
commOdations. He stated that Lone
Beach. Calf, had solved its housing
problem by the erection of hundreds
of this type of dwellings DR.. Arch
er stated that the same plan had
been followed i'm Glendale, Calf,
where most of these small houses
had been built on the back of lots,
50 that they could be used for dou-
BILE garages when the owners were
able to build more pretentious resi-
dences. Mr. Barnard predicted that
there would be an active demand for
this type of houses and that they
could readily be rented at $15
month, which would yield good in
terest on the investment.
r. II. Douglass reported that
firm Of reliable carpenters had eX-
pressed a willingness to invest their
labor in building these houses and
to receive their pay out of the rent
or when the houses were sold.
Professor Tsaacs urged that the
building campaign be pressed and
moved that a special committee OF
seven members be appointed to take
the matter in hand. The motion
carried and F It Barnard, Professor
Isaacs. Lee Allen, Herbert Kim
hrough, p. Fl. Douglass, F. p. Sanger
and II l. Hathaway were named as
members of the committee. II is
hoped to interest enough citizens to
insure the erection of a number OF
the houses this fall.

CUT PROPOSED IN
1922 CITY BUDGET
Tax Levy of Sixteen Mills VIII Raise
Sufficient Funds to Run the City
Next Year

The city council met Tuesday
cut over $4,000 from the budget
for 1922. By careful figuring they
cut nearly $4,000 from the budget
of 1921, which will reduce the levy
for city purposes from 27 mills to
6 mills. The principal items in
which cuts were made under last
years budget are as follows:
A reduction of $1,000 for material
and labor on streets; cut of $1,000
on the appropriation for parks; a cut
of $4,000 on the appropriation for
sewers; a cut of $4,000 in the ex-
penses and upkeep Of fire equip
ment; the elimination of a $500
item for the cemetery The big saw
ing of $4,000 in the appropriation for
the fire department is due to the
fact that last years estimate includ-
ed the cost of fire truck, which
has since been purchased. No APP
preparation is made for the cemetery
| because there is now some $4,000 in
the cemetery fund and it is believed
that from now ON the sale Of lots
in the cemetery will meet all ex-
penses.
There has also been an increase
of $500 in the estimated revenues
Of the city for next year, $500 of
which sum represents increased in
terest on deposits. There has been
! an increase of $3.50 in the item of
salaries to meet the pay of the new
| ly created position Of milk inspector,
and increased allowances have been
made for one or two other items.
/ The total estimated expenses for
1922 aggregate $20,S4764, as
against $29,O35 for 1921. The to-
tai amount to be raised by taxation
| in 1922 is fixed at $19,955.64. as
against S27G15 in 1921. If the bud
get stands as prepared a tax levy of
/ 6 mills will be required as against
- mills for 1921.
