VOLUME XXVIJI
DEARTH OF CANDIDATES
FOR CITY OFFICES
_—
Filing Period Closes With No Coun
cilmanic Aspirants Will Hold
Caucus to Fill Ticket
The time for filing notices of can
didacy for the nomination for munic
ipal offices closed last Friday even
ing, with no announced candidates
for the five councilmanic jobs, and
some fear is felt that It will be a hard
task to get five competent men to
take upon their shoulders the munic
ipal problems. Each of the retiring
.councilmen is emphatic in his state
ment that he will under no consider
ation be a candidate for re-election,
and, while several good men have
been suggested for the positions,
each has declined as soon as he was
approached. A general caucus of
voters has been called for next Mon
day evening in the city hall, at which
time the situation will be discussed
and an attempt made to secure the
consent of five good men to make the
race for the various councilmanic po
rtions. It will be necessary to nomi
nate the candidates by the sticker
method.
, Up to yesterday noon 206 voters
had qualified for registration for par
ticipation in the primary election,
which will be held November 9, or
about one-sixth of the total voting
population. The books will remain
open until the day of the primaries,
to open again the day following and
close 10 days after the primaries,
not to re-open until after the elec
tion. The city election will be held
December 7.
The registration in the different
wards is as follows:
Ward 1 (precinct 41) —57.
Ward 2 (precinct 51) —51.
Ward 3 (precinct 64) —61.
Ward 3 (precinct 72) —37.
The announced candidates for city
offices, whose names will appear on
the primary ballots, and all of whom
are candidates for re-election, are as
follows:
For mayor Harloy Jackson.
For treasurer—J. S. Clark.
For attorneyM. S. Jamar.
For clerk—Matilda F. Gannon.
Aside from these positions, two
councilmen are to be elected from
the First ward, one for a One-year
term and the other for three years;
one from the Second ward for three
years and one from the Third ward
for two years, as well as one council
man-at-large.

TWENTY-TWO MEN
ON OREGON TRIP
Coach Dietz Takes Full Team of Sub
stitutes to Buttle Against O. A.
C.—Reporters Will Send
Detailed Play
Two full teams of football men
left last night for Corvallls, Ore.,
where Saturday afternoon they will
do battle with the team from Oregon
Agricultural College, branded by
many as the strongest team in the
conference this year, not excepting
Dobie's layout. Accompanying the
team were Coach W. H. Dietz, Physi
cal Director. Bohler, and a dozen en
thusiastic rooters, the latter in
charge of "Pug" Barnes, the peppery
rooter king. The delegation was
given a wonderful sendoff by the
student body, and went on its way
fully Impressed that every student,
fan and citizen stands solidly behind
the coach and the team, win or lose.
While neither Captain Clark nor
Zimmerman will be able to play, both
were taken on the trip. Fishback
will be sent in at left tackle to re
place Clark, and It is probable that
Carl Dietz will be sent to left end in
place of Zimmerman, Dick Hanley
playing Dietz's position at right half.
Dietz will be acting captain.
The tentative lineup as announced
by Coach Dietz prior to departure
was as follows:
Loomis, right end; Applequist,
right tackier Stites, right guard;
Langdon, center; Finny, left guard;
Fishback, left tackle; Dietz, left end;
Durham, quarter; Dick Hanley, right
half; Bangs, left half; Doane, full
back.
SubstitutesClark, Zimmerman,
Brooks, Bartow, King, Herrid, Al
Hanley, R. Boone, Spencer, C. Boone
and McGregor.
William V. Nessly. as a representa
tive of the associated students, and
H. Mcß. Hart, representing the Crim
son Circle, will wire a detailed report
of the game, play by play, every five
minutes. The returns will be re
ceived at the college, gymnasium,
where a dance will be In progress. j
PULLMAN. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15. 1915
WASHINGTON STATE WINS FROM
OREGON UNIVERSITY, SCORE 28-3
Coach l)iet/.'s Men Show Speed and
Veisalality of Attack That is Rev
elation to Fans—Oregon
Has No Chance
By starting with • wonderful rush,
driving their heavier opponents
steadily before them, showing re
markable team work and the effects
of conscientious and wise coaching,
and completely outclassing the op
posing eleven at phases of tlie game
which were expected by many to
bring an Oregon victory, tho Wash
ington State College football team on
Saturday outplayed and outfought
the heavy team from tlie. University
of Oregon and won by a score of 28
to il . It was a wonderful battle, full
of thrills and surprises, and 1200
supporters of the team made the
most of the victory. Sweetness was
added to the result by virtue of the
considerable amount of apprehension
felt by tlie state college rooters be
fore the game as to the real effect
iveiiess of tlie new coaching methods
introduced this year by Coach Win.
H. Dietz, but since tlie contest Dietz
and his team of fighters are heroes
in every sense.
It was a beautiful game for W. S.
C. supporters to watch. The power
ful line plunges which almost invari
ably brought a gain for the team, the
sudden checking of every attack
commenced on the Oregon side, the
sensational end runs by halfbacks
and ends and the clever handling of
the ball throughout the game
brought joy to the hearts of hun
dreds of persons loyal to the team
and repaid them ten-fold for the
fear that had crept into their hearts
during weeks of waiting for the
opening of the season.
Team Starts Fiercely
From the moment that W. S. C.
secured the ball in the opening
Quarter the team had the Oregon
men at its mercy. At no time in the
game was there a probability that
the Webfooters could cross the state
college goal. In the first quarter the
team started a fierce drive down the
field, taking the ball to the very
shadow of the Oregon goal by a ser
ies of powerful drives and lightning
runs and then bucked it straight
over the line, less than seven min
utes, after Dietz kicked off to Ris
ley. From that time to the close of
the game the Oregon team was al
most helpless. Their line gave way
before the charges of the state col
lege linesmen and their backs were
unable to gain on any plays. After
W. S. C. secured the ball in the first
quarter and started its wonderful
drive, the Oregonians seemed be
wildered and very seldom did they
comprehend a play in advance and
stop It.
In every quarter of the game W.
S. C. annexed a touchdown. Dur
ham, Dietz, Bangs and Doane took
the ball far down the ' field in the
first quarterd, resorting to short end
runs and line plunges, and Doane
plunged over the line for a touch
down. In the second quarter a for
ward pass and a series of line bucks
took the ball to within 20 yards of
the goal and a short pass, Bangs to
Dietz, put the ball over the line. In
the third quarter the team continued
the plunges until they brought the
ball to Oregon's six-yard lino and
I Zimmerman took R l>vox, around
' right end. Zimmerman also con-
I tributed the next touchdown, when
i in the last quarter, he intercepted a
forward pass from Beckett, intended
for Cornell, and raced 70 yards to
carry the ball over the line.
Every Man a Star
It would be hard to pick stars
from the W. S. C. team for Satur
day's game, for every man was work
ing hard and effectively at every
minute. In the backfield Doane did
some wonderful work and was re
sponsible for gain after gain on his
fierce plunges. Bangs played the
Best game of his career at the col
lege and scores were brought to look
upon him as all-Northwest material
for this year. Dietz was effective at
all times and repeatedly pierced the
Oregon line for / five or 10 yards.

Durham handled the team in splen
did fashion and his work in return
ing punts was sensational. Boon*
was sent Into tho fray late iv game
and proved to bo one of the hardest
men on either team to stop, his
plunges and dodging netting yard
after yard. Hanley played an ex
cellent game at half jpuid Seldom
failed to advance the ball.
The line was one of the big sur
prises of the contest. With the fa
mous body blocking on which Coach
Dietz has dwelt so steadily, the W.
8. C. lino was Invincible. Time after
time the linesmen opened up several
immense holes at the same time and
the backs usually found them. Not
a man on the line can be said to have
been out-played by his opponent, de
spite a considerable weight advant
age on the Oregon side, Clark, Ap
plequist, Finney, Stites, Loomis, Zim
merman, Langdon, Fishback, Brooks,
Herrod, and King held against al
most every attack and time after
time broke through to throw the
Oregon runner for a loss. The run
ning story of the game shows that
Beckett was the only opponent who
could get through the state college
line. The ends did mighty nice work
and were down on every kick, prac
tically always holding the runner in
his tracks. A mighty typical ex
ample of real nerve was shown by
Captain Ace Clark, who . played
through the latter part of the first
half with a dislocated shoulder, pre- j
ferring to remain in the game rather
than tell of the injury. At the end
of the half Clark was removed,
though very much against his will.
Straight Football Played
It was almost all straight football
in the contest, though hundreds were
looking for much open work, consid
ering that with Oregon having the
weight advantage Dietz would not
try to gain at the straight game. It
was merely, however, a contest of
skill in the old game, with the W. S.
C. team showing far better coaching,
better spirit, greater charging abil
ity and greater co-operation. With
the line holding the Oregon men
firmly on every attack and the back
field men picking the holes made by
the line, the whole eleven worked as
a well-oiled machine and the Ore
gonians simply fell before the power
ful attacks and splendid team work.
Slugging Is Seen
The most unpleasant occurrences
of the game were the repeated re
sorting to slugging and "roughing"
on tho part of the Oregon players.
Beckett aroused the ire of the crowd
on two occasions by his personal at
tacks on aW. S. C. player. The men
declared that on every occasion
where It was possible the Oregon
men "roughed it" and considerable
of that work was seen from the side
lines.

GOOD ATTENDANCE
AT NOON LUNCHEON
The chamber of commerce lunch
eon Tuesday drew another large at
\ tendance and proved even more sat
isfactory than the one served the pre
vious week. It was decided to start
the campaign for now members at
once. D. F. Staley and W. L. rerun
walt wore appointed leaders of the
two groups Into which the organiza
tion will be divided. The contest
will continue for two weeks, at the
end of which time the group having
secured the most new members will
be banqueted at tho expense of tho
losing side.
D. F. Staley was selected to repre
sent the chamber at the convention
of the State Good Roads association
at Ellensburg October 21-27. It
was decided to employ workers to set
up the signs which have been pre
pared, designating the roads leading
to Pullman from all directions.
The committee on building report
ed that they have been conferring
with the city council, trying to work
out a plan by which the old pumping
plant can be removed from the city
hall and tho lower floor of the build
ing remodelled to, accommodate the
offices of all the city officials. The
idea is to remove some of the present
partitions in the upper story, locate
the stairway on the outside of the
building, and divide the second story
Into a large council chamber or as
sembly room, a dining hall and a
kitchen.
SNYDER BOY INJURED
John, the four-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Solon Snyder, suffered
severe injuries to his hand last Mon
day when the member became caught
in a wringer operated by gasoline
power. Three ligaments in the hand
were torn and tho flesh was scraped
from the bone. The boy was taken
to the hospital, where he remained
until yesterday. He is now doing
nicely and will not lose the use of
the hand.
GRAIN QUOTATIONS
AGAIN ADVANCE
.Market Shows Substantial Gain Over
Last Weeklncreased Selling
Attends Advance in Pierce
Increased selling activities have
attended the advance in grain quota
tions of the past few days, and sev
eral sales are reported. Yesterday's
quotations show an increase of from
two to four cents on wheat, two and
one-half cents on oats, and five cents
on barley over those of last week.
Many farmers are still holding their
entire crop, maintaining that prices
are due for a substantial climb be
fore spring, and others are selling
only enough of their holdings to
liquidate their debts. As a general
rule, the farmers are In much better
condition to hold than last year,
when many were forced to sell to pay
their obligations. The 1916 barley
crop is nearly all sold, although only
a small percentage of the wheat crop
has left the hands of the farmers.
Yesterday's prices were as fol
lows:
Red Russian wheat 77s
Club wheat 82c
Fortyfold wheat <*6c
Oats, per cwt $1.02 >*
Barley, per cwt $1.20
BOY LOSES EYE
While playing with an air gun
Sunday, James, the 10-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. George Dunning, ac-
cidentally shot himself in the eye.
Dr. L. Q. Kimzey was called and
removed him to Moscow, and later to
Spokane, where It was found Impos
sible to save the eye. A specialist
removed it on Monday and the boy
Is in the hospital recovering nicely.
CONCRETE BRIDGE
The county has started work on
the construction of a concrete bridge
across the South Palouse river at the
east end'of Main street. This has
necessitated the closing of the street
and the best way of getting around
the obstruction is by Maiden Lane
and across the lower part of the col
lege campus.

NUMBER 2
TAX LEVY FIXED
FOR NEXT YEAR
For State and County 18 Mills Will
Re Required Mill Less
Than This Year
At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners last Monday
the tax levy for 1916 was fixed at
13 mills, segregated as follows:
—Current expense, 2.2486
mills; school, 2.4030; road and
bridge, 0.9163; Indigent soldiers,
0.0137; total, 6.5814. The state
levy Is 7.4186 mills, making a total
for county and state purposes of 13
mills. This is one mill less than the
levy of 1916.
My close figuring the commission
ers cut $10,000 from the budget of
estimates, as follows;
Treasurer's office, estimate cut
from $8700 to $8000; assessor, from
$9920 to $9000; county superintend
ent, from $4240 to $4140; prosecut
ing attorney, from $4000 to $3600;
sheriff, from $11,300 to $10,300;
engineer, from $5000 to $4000;
commissioners, from $2900 to
$2600; health officer, from $1600 to
$1500; court house, from $74 80 to
$6000; superior court, from $13,410
to $11,000; Justice courts, from
$950 to $700; poor farm, from
$3500 to $3200; elections, from
$6050 to $6000; Indigent relief,
from $9920 to $9000; mother's pen
sions, from $3500 to $3000. In all
other cases the original estimates
were left unchanged. The | total
amount of estimated current ex
penses as amended by the commis
sioners is $141,920. Deducting from
this amount the sum of $26,750,
which represents the total estimated
receipts by the various offices In the
way of fees, etc., there remains
$115,170 to be raised by taxation to
».ke care of the current expenses or
the county for the , year. This is
some $16,000 In excess of the
amount raised for that purpose last
year.
This year the total valuation of
the county as returned by the state
tax commission amounts to $43,644,
--836, as against a total valuation of
$44,473,962 as returned last year, or
a decrease of $829,126. This de
crease in valuation is due to the
lowering of the railroad property
valuation in this county by the tate
tax commission to the extent of near
ly a million dollars, or $882,109.
Property ln the county other than
railroad property is listed at $32,
--697,273 this year, which is $189,
--133 In excess of last year's valuation.
DISEASE AFFECTS SWINE
Several farmers in the vicinity of
Pullman have lost hogs from disease
recently, and every effort Is being
made to confine the disease to those
herds which are already affected. In
one case hog cholera was discovered
to be the ailment, and the herd was
promptly placed under strict quar
antine. In other herds the disease
has been diagnosed as contagious
pneumonia, and one farmer lost
nearly 160 head of swine from this
cause. Several farmers who have
pigeons have killed the birds, believ
ing that they are carriers of hog
diseases. Every precaution is being
taken to prevent the spread of the
ailments. '
