SHORTAGE OF HOUSES
IS BECOMING ACUTE
Scores of Families Unable to Locate
in Pullman Because They Can
Not Rent Dwelling Places

The growth of Pullman is being
blocked because of the shortage of
houses, Scores of families would
like to more here to make their
homes if they could rent houses. But
the houses are not here.
Just how acute the situation is
can be deduced from the following
incident In the last issue of The
Herald a list was printed of few OF
the people who had engaged quarters
in the Roth apartments In this list
was included the name of J T. Lara
way. who now occupies a small house
on B street Early Friday morning
the Laraways began to receive in
quiries over the telephone as to
whether the house they will vacate
could be rented. The inquiries con-
tinued to cume in and out of curios-
ity they kept record of the number.
Up to yesterday total of % calls
had been received.
Real estate agents report that from
the time college opened last fall,
there has been a steady and increas-
ing demand for houses and for the
past month they have been swamped
with inquiries. Some of the would
be Pullmanites want to buy, but the
vast majority want to rent homes.
The buildings erected this year
will relieve the situation but little.
The new buildings include the Roth
apartment house, a house with three
apartments built by w. A. Moss on
Star Route street, the Parrish house
at the foot of Methods hill, three
small houses on the MCGEE flats. The
Hungate house and one or two others
on College hill are being enlarged to
accommodate fraternities and W, L..
LaFollette is remodeling a barn into
a dwelling
These additional accommodations
will not begin to meet the steadily in
creasing demand. The cost of build
ing is still too high to induce people
to invest their money in houses to
rent and there is little prospect that
the situation will be materially i'm
proved for some time to come.

ball game Rogers field will be the
finest and best equipped athletic
grounds in the Coast conference.

THE ARCHERS RETURN
FROM LONG AUTO TRIP

Dr. and Mrs. +. A. Archer returned
Wednesday afternoon from an auto
mobile trip to Southern California.
They started June 30, and drove a
total of 1880 miles, although the
distance between Pullman and Los
Angeles is but 1857 or Whereabouts.
The other thousand miles represent
ed side trips, including one to Juna.
Old Mexico.
They carried a full camp outfit,
stopping usually in city or town tour
list parks at night, They report these
latter to be a very much appreciated
convenience to tourists Seven and
three-quarters days were consumed
going at an average of 221 miles a
day.
Tourist parties from nearly every
state in the Union, as well as from
Canada, Mexico, the Philippines and
Italy. were encountered going and
coming, which points to the conclu-
sion that one-half of the population
of the United States goes to Cali
fornia in the winter and the other
half in the summer.
They report that much building is
in progress in many Southern Cali
fornia towns and that the crops gen.
orally are very good. The bean
growers, especially, were hard hit
last year, refusing ~ to s cents and
are now unable to sell for more than
five or six. Orange and lemon grow
ers too were complaining seriously
OF excessive production costs as
against the prices realized

FAIL WHEAT AVERAGE
UNDER ESTIMATES
Actual Yields in Fields Already
Threshed Seven to Ten Bushels
Under Pre-harvest Estimates
Grain Quotations

Ar the close of the first full week
- harvest in the Pullman vicinity
actual yields reported indicate an ay-
arage of fall wheat from seven to 10
bushels per acre under the pre-har-
..ost estimate, with indications that
the total average for the Pullman
district will be between 80 and 80
husbels per acre instead OF 40 bush
ais as estimated three weeks ago.
The reduction is the result OF eX-
,,omely hot weather just prior to
harvest. which dried the kernels to
great extent and caused some
obattering in ripe fields, and the
abundance of smut, which has cut
the weld in some fields to marked
extent. Smut is more prevalent
than at any time since 1914 and is
causing a dockage of from three to
five cents per bushel in price paid
as we'll as cutting down the yield
unite materially. The wheat is
weighing out well.
Practically all of the machines,
both combines and stationary out
fits are in the fields now and all are
running full handed, with plenty OF
help available. The operators have
been forced to increase the wages
over the figures set in advance of the
harvest. however, and the hands are
receiving from 81 to IS per day.
Many farmers are selling as soon
as their threshing is completed, the
prices paid by local buyers averag-
ing close to 95 cents. One Pullman
buyer purchased over $4,000 bush
els in three days. the biggest deals
being closed Tuesday, when he ne
gotiated for 10000 bushels, with red
wheat at 931a cents and white wheat
three cents higher.
One of the best yields reported
up to the present time is from the
Clay Martin farm, where 1900 sacks
we're secured from 65 acres, an av-
erage of a trifle over so bushels pei
acre. S. H. Breeze is getting a 30
bushel yield in a big field that was
estimated close to 40 bushels.
C. S. Vollmer secured a yield OF
80 bushels per acre on 225 acres OF
College Hybrid Nos. 10S and 128
He threshed with a stationary out
tit which is now operating on the
Oscar Kincaid farm, where the wheat
is being headed. Indications are
that the Kincaid wheat will go 80
bushels or better
Frank Henderson completed his
threshing Tuesday and sold his crop
at once. On summer-fallowed land
he secured SO bushels per acre and
on sod ground 80 bushels, the vari-
ETY. being hybrid No. lab.
The acreage of spring wheat
threshed is not great enough to form
basis for an estimate of average
Yield, but it will probably be in the
helghborhood of | 8 bushels.

luncheon of the chamber of com
merce was taken up in a discussion
OF the auto park for tourists The
discussion was started by the follow
ing report filed by G. A. Street:
Pullman, Wash,
August 8, 1921.
l.. w. Thorpe,
Secretary of G. of c.,
Pullman, Wash.
Dear Sir:-As a delegate to visit
the Park Camp Ground for one week
will say that | have been down there
every night since appointed and have
had some very interesting visits with
different tourists. The park rules
should be placed in the center of the
ground for inspection. Mr. Porter
went with me most every night
might say that some of the tourists,
the ladies, knew him well enough to
call him by name. Most Of the tour
lists, and they were there from Ken
lucky, Michigan, Montana, Texas,
Idaho, Oregon and Washington this
week, talked very favorably of our
park We should have a few lights
scattered through it, by all means,
and | really believe that question
able people should be asked to move
on after the second night There
should be one stationary tub and one
more table If you should ever APP
point me again | would like to have
you send Mr.. Porter too, as he GER
tainly knows how to approach tour
lists and get acquainted with them.
Yours very truly,
G. A. STREET.
After a motion had been made to
have electric lights installed Coun-
Gilman Duthie stated that orders had
already been given for the lights, but
that the Washington Water Power
company was waiting for permission
from the O.-W r. & \. Co. to run
q line over or under its track, as it
would be less expensive than to run
a line from Methodist hill Several
members expressed the opinion that
it would take several months or a
year to secure the needed permission
from the railroad company. Others
argued that it could be obtained
quickly. Finally the whole matter
was placed in the hands Of the com
mittee appointed to visit the auto
park during the coming week, on
which If. =. Phelps f. f. Sanger J.
r. Stephenson and VIM. Laird were
named to serve.
This committee was also author
lied TO see that the park rules are
properly posted, to provide more
tables ii necessary and the members
volunteered to see that a large sign
is placed at the entrance to the park
and proper directing signs along the
roads.

TO PREPARE REPORT
ON OIL PROSPECTS

PHOENIX. July s.-With the return
OF T. L. Macleod. engineer OF the
state land department. from the Pata-
sonia district. where he mas been max
ing an investigation OF the oil situa-
ton. Commissioner Rudolph Kuchler
said that there would be no change in
the order made a few days ago when
the state refused TO issue oil leases
in Santa Cruz. Cochise and Pima coun-
ties This ruling viii stay in effect
until Mr. Macleod furnishes the co,n-
missioner with formal report
MIR. MacLeods' report in all proba-
bility will no; be submitted FOR a num-
Der of days. due 10 the fact that
samples are TO be sent here TO be
tested The report will be based on
these tests. together with data gath
cred by Mr.. Macleod while in the dis
trict where oil has been reported.
The investigation was prompted by
the many requests for oil leases re-
ceived by the land department. After
reported strike in the Patagonia
country the land department receipts
for oil leases alone amounted 20 sew
eral thousand dollars a day. although
the state received but S1O0 a section
for a two-year lease, retaining 6 per
cent royalty should oil be discovered.
Feeling that the state was not receiv-
ing any amount in keeping with the
value if there was oil on the land as
reported, Mr.. Kuchler ordered an in
vestigation.
