• The college steers, exhibited* at the
livestock shows, yon over everything
exhibited from this state, but lost j
first prize to eastern stock, older, bet- j
ter bred and having had "show care"
since they were little calves. Only '•
the steers which won first at the In-;
ternational Fat Stock Show, Chicago,
beat Mr. Foster's exhibit. He took
second, third and fourth of the two
year old steers; second, on yearling
and second on calf, defeating all 1
western exhibitors and only losing
by a small mar' o the prize stock
from the east w'n.-Li had taken firsts
in many world's snows. These steers
have been sold to Mitchem Brothers,
of Spokane, for Christmas beef and |
the price paid, while not made public
is understood to be the highest ev^r
paid for fat steers in this country
and one of the steers Is expected to i
bring close to $150 when delivered
next Christinas. The steers stood the
trip well and have been returned 1
to their feeding barn where they will I
be fed until a few days before Christ
mas when they will be delivered to
Mitchem Brothers, who take them
at the barn, hero at the college farm,
an/I \.iil slip them to Spokane, where
they will be slaughtered and placed
on exhibition in the Fulton market,
ou Sprague avenue, to be a stand
ing advertisement during the holi
days, for Washington State College
and a tribute to the care Mr. Foster
has put upon them.
PRESIDENT BRYAN'S PHIZES
Mr. Foster took President Bryan's
herd of Berkshire hogs, eight head
in all, and cleaned up all the best
prizes with them. President Bryan
was awarded champion and grand
champion on boar over two years old
and highly commended on boar under
six months. This being only a pig
three t^onths old and being In com
petition with pigs almost six months
old, failed to land a prize, but the
Judges complimented it highly. Pres
ident Bryan's bows won first and sec
ond and champion and grand cham
pion prizes for bows two years old
or over: first on sow under 18
months old; second on sow under 12
months old and, third on bow under

for the best herd of Berkshtres over
two year old. Mr. Foster brought

in cash, won as arizes, three silver
cups, one won at Spokane and two
at Seattle; and a gold medal.
■ •The exhibits have been a great
thing for Pullman and the College,"
said .Mr. Foster. We made the east
ern and western exhibitors sit up
and take notice and we got many
nattering compliments from stock
.liri and pudges on our exhibits. I
am well satislied with the results of
the trip, although it meant much
hard work."
NEXT TUESDAY'S GAME
It is up to the people of Pullman
to see that there is a large attendance
at the football game between W. S. C.
and Puget Sound University at the
college grounds next Tuesday, Octo
ber 19. This is bound to be a good
game and the visiting team conies a
long way and the expenses are heavy.
| Pullman citizens owe it to the college
to patronize these games liberally and
assist in making the athletic depart
ment self-sustaining. Give the team
i a royal send-off next Tuesday. It
I will be time and money well spent.
George Cox has so far recovered
from his illness that he is able to
be up and around town but is still
quite weak and will be unable to
work for several weeks.
Harry Muir is carrying the middle
' linger of bis left hand wrapped up as

be permanent.
Lewis W. Smalley. "the potato
[king" has been appointed receiving
I clerk in the county treasurer's office
at Coif ax, and will make his home In

I is a good one, carrying much respon
sibility, but paying a good salary,
and Mr. Smalley's many friends are
j congratulating him on his appoint
, ment.
D, H. Putmaa Is in Seattle on busi
ness this week.
Henry Young and family expect to
move to Los Angeles, California, next
week, and will spend three years
there. Their departure from Pull

The football team from the Uni
versity of Puget Sound will be
with us a part of next week and
do battle with Coach Kienholz's
trip-hammer areista, on Tuesday
i afternoon October 19th. The Uni
'■vernity boya had an off year in
11908, met many defeats and few
1 victories but their "old stand-by"
Dr. Nace, back as head coach, and
several new men of no mean abil
ity on the squad this year, they
expect better results as soon as
the bunch gets working together.
Decker, their halfback, weighs
170 pounds, played three years on
th» U. team, He would be a star
in any company. T. Beardsley at
right half is a new man and a
line smasher, always good for a
few yards. Thomas, the new full
back, is no stranger on the Uni
versity of Missouri gridiron and
has evidently had some one to
show him. K. Atterbury and Met
calf are the two best ends P. S. U.
has had for some time and man
ager Neal C. Jamison says, "They
are both dandies." Case, at
guard will keep at least one man
busy. Van Marnin on the other
side of the center, and Christian
sen is also a good man. Green
and Boore play the tackle posi
tions well and W. Beardsley at
I quarter is a field general, who
keeps the opposing side guessing
all the time.
We expect a good game and
feel that it is the duty of every
member of the college to be on
the side lines, not only to en
courage the home team but show
the visitor that we love true sport
and can appreciate a good play
no matter who makes it.
Coach Goldsworthy, Captain W.
8. C. '06, will bring the Cheney
State Normal here for a game
with the second team October 30.
Prof. Huston has direct charge of
the second team and ho is getting
some good work out of them. Some
of the second team men have
never had football suits on before
but they are learning rapidly and
we believe that Prof. Huston will
be pleased with their actions when
they meet a team of their own
class.
HI«H SCHOOL FOOTBALL NEWS
Strong Team Being Trained and
Good Results Expected. Thanks
giving Games
The Pullman high school football
team has received three offers for
the Thanksgiving day game. The
Coeur d'Alene high school wants
them to go there, Pomeroy high
school wants them to play at Pome
roy and the Huston school in Spo
kane has hade an offer for the game.
None of the offers have been accept
ed y«t for they are waiting for the
result of the games to be held next
week when they can compare the
strength of the three teams with the
Colfax high school team which was
tied by Pullman. The Moscow high
school is also bidding for a game and
they will probably be played in a few
weeks.
The team is making great head
way and is becoming faster than
when they played Colfax. They are
now being coached by Holt Uoone
of the W. S. C. team of last year.
Captain Wexler has a large squad to
pick the team from and many of the
candidates are showing up unusually
well. There will be a few changes
in the lineup with Garfield high I
school here Saturday and a fast!
game is assured. The local team
is going after the county champion
ship and deserves the support of the
whole town. They will play the Gar
field high school on Rogers field Sat
urday.
Th<? work on the new addition to
the Palace hotel goes raerrily on. Mr.
Lou Bartlett, the contractor this week
put in operation a concrete mixing
machine and from the enormous pile
of brick and other material on the
ground it looks as if the large addi
tion will soon take form.
C. R. Moys, the wealthy farmer,
who lives southwest of town, near
Almota, had an exciting runaway
this week, in which the tongue was
broken out of his rig. No one was
seriously injured, but there was
enough excitement to last Mr. Moys
for several months.
Who ever paw better weather than
the Palouse country has been enjoy
ing for several weeks? Eastern peo
ple who came here during the past
few months are in love with the cli
mate.
Gray Smith leaves Sunday for Cal
ifornia where he takes a position
with the Southern Pacific railroad.
Mr. Smith has many friends here to
whom his departure will be cause for
genuine regret.
Royal Neill, son of Thomas Neill,
narrowly escaped death last Sunday
wh<n a gun in the hands of the flor
ist in Neill & Son's conservatory, was
discharged and the ball passed
through the fleshy part of Roy's leg.
The injury is a painful one, but it
is thought no serious or permanent
injury will result. Roy and his com
panion were shooting at a target
when in some way the gun was ac
cidently discharged with the above
result.
The Dare DeviU. What Next?

the Ebbert farm, which lms been

property was sold by others. Col. J.

The sale of personal property o(
