Pullman OutClaSSed i'm Every Round
of MOsCOw-Pullman Horseshoe
Contest, According to
Records

The story of Pullman $ inglorious
defeat at the hands of Moscow in
the Moscow-PuIlman horseshoe tour
nament in the Idaho town last week
is told in detail by the Moscow Star
Mirror. Parts of the sad story are
as follows:
The Moscow chamber of commerce
horseshoe pitching team came back
with a vengeance Wednesday and de-
feated the Pullman chamber of com
merce by lop-sided score of 1876 to
42l in the horseshoe tossing tourna-
ment held on the courts of the Idaho
State Horseshoe Pitchers association
on south Main street.
The local men led the visitors from
the start and increased the lead as
the rounds progressed. The score by
rounds was: First-Moscow 12O,
Pullman 81; second-MoscOw 119.
Pullman AS; third-MOscow III,
Pullman 67; fourth-Moscow 1873,
Pullman S4; fifth-MoscOw 112,
Pullman II; and siXth-Moseow 135,
Pullman 81
The tourney was one of thrills
from the standpoint of horseshoe
pitching tactics. The contest was
fought with ringers and close pitch
ing, and was filled throughout with
good natured banter by players ON
both sides.

MAY HAVE GAME FARM
At STATE COLLEGE
Propagation of Wild Birds at Col
lege Poultry Plant Proposed by
Federal and State Game
Officials

AS a result of the publication
early in July of story concerning
several wild geese kept for decoy
purposes by Professor f. G. Chalfant
a game farm may be established at
the State College. The publication
of the story led up to an exchange
of communications between federal
and state game officials and Pro-
fessor Chalfant in which the matter
was discussed and sanctioned by both
w. H Ransom, United States game
warden. and ]. W. Kinney, state su-
pervisor of game and game fish.
The proposal to propagate game
birds on small scale had previous
" been considered by Professor r.
V Mitchell. head of the department
of poultry husbandry at the state
College, and Professor Mitchell
agreed to incubate 800 to 400 Chi
nese pheasant eggs during the pres
ent season. The proposal was en-
dorsed first by the Pullman Game
Protective association and later Dy
the county association, the county
game commission and the county
warden. A requisition for the eggs
was authorized at the meeting OF the
county association, when whitman
county's allotment of pheasant eggs
from the state game farm was ap-
portioned to the various communl-
ties. but somewhere the red tape
necessary to secure the eggs went
wrong and Pullman received only
so eggs for Matching instead OF the
900 that were expected.
Professor Mitchell has had con-
siderable experience in the propaga-
tion of game birds and is prooaply
as well equipped as any man in the
state to raise them successfully TO
an age when they can be liberated
He has indicated a willingness 10
undertake the work, provided the
venture is authorized by college Of
ficials.
Concerning the exchange OF com
munications between Professor Chal-
FAINT and game officials in which the
matter of a game farm at the state
College was considered, the Spokes-
man-Review of last Sunday had the

KIWANIS BOOSTS
BUILDING PROGRAM
Club VIII Foster Campaign for
More Residences in Pull
man--COmmittee Is
Named

a program of activity designed to
result in the construction of a large
number Of new residences in Pull
man was launched Monday by the
Kiwanis club and the club members
have pledged to keep consistently at
the problem until a solution is eff
fected The housing situation was
the topic of discussion at the weekly
luncheon and the club adopted that
problem as its first big community
undertaking.
DR.. r. O. Holland, president of the
State College called attention to the
fact that from so to rs additional
vocational trainees will be at the col
Iege this year to take work in en-
gineering and allied subjects and
that many of them will be married
men who will require buildings in
which to reside. Many new families
also will come to Pullman to give
their sons and daughters the edu-
cational advantages offered here.
and will seek residences.
During the past few years build
ing operations have not kept pace
with the demand. and while new
dormitOTes will take care of the
students who come by themselves,
provision must be made for taking
care of the families who would To-
cate in Pullman.
A Kiwanis committee including D.
F., Staley, George Cannon, C. e.
Witter Or. j. l.. Gilleland and j. N.
Emerson was named to outline
plan of action to be followed by the
club in fostering the campaign for
more houses. and it is expected that
the first definite step toward a So
luton of the problem Will be taken
at the next meeting, when the com
mittee will make it's initial report
on the situation
High lumber costs are blamed for
the apparent apathy toward building
held by the majority of the local
citizens, but it is believed that by
contracting for lumber and plumb
ing fixtures for a group of houses at
the same time a substantial saving
can be made.
A reflection of the building situa-
tion is seen in the statement of the
Pullman Savings K Loan association,
just issued, which shows a total Of
cash on hand, available to borrow
ers on the fifty-fifty building plan
of the company, OF nearly $4,000,
with very few requests for loans.
The organization is in a position to
assist in the construction of large
number of new residences, with the
privilege of paying off the loan on
easy monthly payments, condition
which is expected to assist materially
in the final solution of the housing
problem.

American Troops in
China-dnd Why

Empress Dowager, with her court was
forced to flee. China was compelled
to sign a protocol, in which she
agreed to punish the Boxer leaders.
to destroy certain coast defenses near
Pegin, to forbid anti-foreign socie-
ties, to pay an indemnity of $500
100000 gold and to permit the per
manent establishment of foreign
troops in her capitol as guards for
the legations
This last agreement was contained
IN Article of the Protocol and gave
the allied powers the right to keep
detachments OF their troops in China
Or the purpose of keeping open rail
communications between Pekin and
the sea, so that in case of another
rebellion, they could be safely re-
moved.
The United States, being a sigma
tory TO the Protocol, had the right
to Immediately send a suitable de-
tachment TO Pekin in order to do its
share in the necessary work of carry
ing out the provisions of Article 9
OF the Protocol but it was not until
1911 that United States troops we're
ordered to duty in China, on account
of the revolution and consequent

COUNCIL LOPS 5000
FROM DOW'S CLAIM
City Fathers Vote to Award CITY
Attorney Only $3.50 Additional
for Services in Smawley
Case

An even $500 was Topped from
City Attorney d. C. Dow's claim for
legal services in the mooted J. K.
Smawley damage suit against the
city, by the city council Tuesday
night. Mr.. Dow had already been
paid 5000 by the city, and his claim
called for the payment of an addi-
tional $3.50 This was cut to $3.50
by the council in the fourth of a
series of motions on the question
considered by the city dads.
The first motion, offered by Coun-
Gilman Hammond, that Attorney Dow
be granted $3.50 in addition to the
5000 already paid was lost for want
of second, Then Councilman
Duthie offered a motion seconded
by Councilman Yeo, that his added
allowance be $500. The roll call
showed Councilmen Duthie, Yeo and
Rounds favorable and Councilmen
Nye, Hammond and Roth opposed
with Councilman Lawler absent. On
account of tie vote the motion was
declared lost.
The third motion was presented
by Councilman Nye. and called for
an additional payment of $3.50. The
motion was declared lost for want
of second and Councilman Roth
offered a motion that $3.50 addi-
tional be allowed This motion pre-
vailed, Councilman Nye alone voting
no.
The action of the council reduces
the amount to be paid for legal serv-
ices in the near-famous case to $3.50.
as against total of $1150 asked by
Attorney Dow. The city attorney
claimed that the action involved two
separate cases, for the first of which
he asked fees of $50 and for the
second $1,000. The cases covered
period of three years and were
brought to close recently when a
jury in superior court awarded Mr..
Smawley damages in the amount of
$1,000 by reason of the alleged un-
sanitary condition of the city septic
tank, near the Smawley property.

overthrow of the Manchu Dynasty,
changing China from a monarchy to
republic.
During this second revolution our
ministers in Pekin. fearing a repeti-
tion of the Boxer uprising. urgently
requested our government to send
for their protection, legation guard

1912, the First battalion. 18th in

March II, regimental headquarters
and the Third battalion, 18th infau-
try, arrived, and on August 20 the
Second battalion was organized from

sections which were allotted to
France, United States, England ia
pan and Germany Each country was
TO be responsible that open communi-
cation was maintained through its
section, but the manner in which this
was to be accomplished was left to
the decision of the particular power.
This arrangement was made by the
military commanders stationed at
Tientsin and approved by the diplo-
matte body at Pelln When China
entered the World war against the
central powers, Germany was no
longer permitted to exercise treaty
rights, and that part of the railroad
allotted to her was divided between
the United States and Japan, since
England and France were utilizing
their full military strength against
the Huns The part taken over by
the United States adjoined the sec
tiOn already allotted To her. and we
now have more than 70 miles under
our care. This section begins a few
miles north of Tangku the railroad
station for Taku Bar. and is impor-
tant to the extent that it passes
through TOngshan, where are located
extensive railroad shops and yards,
as well as large coal mines of the
Kailan Mining Administration

illustration to use to show just how
