COUNTY PAPERS
SUPPORT ILL
And Resent Attack Made On
Pullman Candidate for
Superior Judge.
(Farmington Independent)
Failing to find a weak point in the
professional career of Honest Torn
Neill, candidate for superior judge of
Whitman county, the friends of I'ick
rell have now assailed Neill's person
al character. This is the lowest act a
politician can stoop to do, and the on
ly flaw they can find is that he is
broadmlnded enough to sympathize
with the "under dog," as the saying
is. Tom Neill lias never been domi
nated by party boss, corporation or
any combination of capital, and upon
his personality his traducers arc
making their fight. If there is one
public officer who should be liberal
minded enough to give all men a
square deal, that man should be
the judge of the superior court.
When the day of election comes you
will be called upon to choose a man
for this high office and remember
that Honest Tom Neill of Pullman is
a man who will deal out justice to
all men, whether he be rich or poor,
guilty or innocent, and a man who
will not bow his head to any polit
ical boss or corporation on earth.
The Independent refrains from in
dulging in personalities about any
candidate for office, even when the
case warrants it, and when politi
cians stoop so low as to traduce a
man for sympathizing with suffering
humanity the voters should rise as
one man and elect him to office in
opposition to the ring politicians
and bosses.
(Garfield Enterprise)
Perhaps it is because of our limit
ed knowledge of civics that we have
gained the impression that the atti
tude of Henry Canfield, both imme
diately prior to and since his resig
nation from the Superior bench, has
not been what the voters who elect
ed him had a right to expect. We
had though! that when he jumped
his job he- was through. His friends
were willing to overlook the fact
that after having asked to he elect
ed to the judgeship of this county
he for no unavoidable reason tossed
the honorable position aside unfin
ished. However, he was entirely out
of place when at the time of his
resignation he ( played his part in a
silent and sleek little political ar
rangement which brought about the
naming of his successor. On his
part it would have been but common
courtesy and fair play to have sub
mitted this matter to the considera
tion of the county bar. When he
now follows this procedure with per
mitting bis personal animosities to
lead him into mixing into the pres
ent campaign for the judgeship he
assumes a position that is generally
distasteful. Mr. Canfield quit his
position on the bench and moved to
Spokane. It is quito probable
that inasmuch as both the candi
dates who are now seeking the judge-
Ship are' broadly known throughout
the county the people will be com
petent to form a reasonably sane
opinion without any more of the
quality of guidance that he has at
tempted to thrust upon them in the
recent past. This is especially true
inasmuch as his attitude as recently
shown is entirely at variance with
his statements made during the cam
paign of two years ago. From what
we can learn neither of the men who
seek the office have done anything
'd particular during tho past two
years to cause Mr. Canfield to re
verse his opinion in regard to their
qualifications, and this is exactly
"hat he has done.
(Palouso Republic)
As predicted at the time of Judge
" W. Canfleld's resignation as super
lor Judge of Whitman county, Interest
"i the campaign centers around the
Election of a Judge. J. N. Pickrell,

trading genera] attention in the
county. Former fudge Canfield, now
practicing law in Spokane, made an
attack on Neill a few days ago
through the columns of the Spokes
man-Review, which had the effect of
creating more feeling than would
have otherwise crept into this cam
paign, Many people, friendly both to
Judge Plckrell and to Mr. Neill be
lieve that it is up to the Whitman
county voters to select a superior
judge, inasmuch as the law does not
provide that a resigning jurist shall
name his successor.
The result of Canfield'a attack on
Mr. Neill has been to stir his friends
into greater activity.
Prominent Pullman citizens have
taken steps to contradict the state
ments of Judge Canfield and a long
statement lias been prepared and
signed, President E. A. Bryan of the
Washington state College, heads the
list.
Similar statements are signed by
E. S. Burgan, republican, president of
the First National Bank; J, S. Klem
gard, democrat, vice-president of the
Pullman state Bank; Jay N. Emerson,
manager of the Burgan-Emerson com
pany; D. C, Dow, city attorney; the
Rev, W. G. M. Hays, pastor of tie-
First Presbyterian church; C. A. Price
of the Pullman Land Company; B.
F. Campbell, manager of the Pull
man Implement Company.
The flattering vote which Mr. .Will
received in and about Pullman at the
primaries is pointed to as proof of
his popularity and the esteem lin
which he is held. \

Engagement of Popular Pullman
Couple Announced at Party
Wednesday Evening.
Aboul sixteen young ladies of
Pullman gathered at the home of D.
B. Putman Wednesday evening In re
sponse to Invitations Issued by Miss
.Maud Putman. The nature of the
affair was unknown to the young la
dies until time for refreshments
came, when at each plate was found
a dainty place card, each bearing the
photographs of Prof. C. A. Isaacs and
Miss Hattle Mcßea. It then dawned
Upon tho assembled guests that, it
was an "announcement" party and
that tin' young people whose- photo
graphs appeared upon the place
cards were tin- ones to be congratu
lated. The dainty luncheon was for
tho moment forgotten while we'll
wishes and "I told you so's" were the
order of events, the bride-elect be
ing the recipient of many congratu
lations and well wishes.
At tie' same time a like proceeding
was taking place at the place of resi
dence of the groom, where a num
ber of young men had gathered, en
tirely Ignorant of what was to take
place.
Both Professor Isaacs and Miss
Mcßea are well and favorably known
in Pullman. Mr. Isaacs is professor
of mathematics at the State College,
and Miss Mcßea was until recently
employed as lead trimmer in the
millinery department of the Burgan-
Emerson store. While no definite
date for the' happy event has been
named, it is probable that it will
occur during the holidays.
ORCHARD TRACTS ON MARKET
Palouso Country Improvement Co.
Plats New Tract Near Pulman.
The Palouse Country Improvement
company has platted and placed on
the market with the local real estate
men 100 acres of orchard land about
a mile west of Pullman and ad
joining the famous J. B. Holt apple
orchard on the south. The tract
was divided into twenty lots, aver
aging about live acres each, some of
which will make very desirable loca
tions for residences. A drain tile
will be installed to drain the surface
water from all low places. That or
chards are a most profitable invest
ment in and around Pullman has
been proved beyond a doubt by J. B.
Holt and other successful orchard
and it is probable that the new addi
tion will prove a popular one with
the investors. A blue print of the
tract, can be seen at the office of the
Palouse Country Improvement com
pany or at any of the local real estate
offices.

PULLMAN. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21. 1910
W. 5. C.
Will Meet University of Idaho in Annual
Football Game On Rogers Field
This Afternoon.
"I have not seen tho Idaho team in action this season, but
am convinced from what I can hear thai they have the best
backfield they have had in recent years. So much depends tip
on the backfield and ends that the W. S. C. team will have to
lie busy nil the time or Idaho will score without warning. VV,
S. C. lias the advantage in the weight of lino, but four of the
seven men are novices at the college game, If they behave like
old-timers tho line will be a factor to help overcome the Idaho
backfield advantage.
"In short it will be a good, fast game, with a low score, with
ai least an even chance of the crimson and grey being on the
long cud."—Manager J, 11. Jones, of \Y. S. C.
Everything is in readiness for the
big W. S. C.-U. of l. football game
this afternoon and the city is filled
with visitors from neighboring towns
and cities who have' come to Pull
man to witness the premier athletic
event of the season at the State Col
lege. This will be the only game of
the season on Rogers field and the
people will turn out en masse to help
their college win from the huskies
from across the line-. it is hard to
conjecture what the result of the
big contest will be, both teams be-
Ing confident of victory and in fine
mettle for the game. The only line on
tlie' Idaho team is the game with
Gonzaga College of Spokane last
week, when the Idaho hoys were the
victors to the tune of 16 to 0, with
comparative ease. The W. S. C. team
lias played no practice' game with
outside schools, but the' way they
have been showing up in scrimmagel
shows that Idaho will be up against
one of the strongest teams that ever
represented the Crimson and dray.
Coach Osthoff has been working
the boys hard, but has had only one.
chance to meet any team other than
the second team. While the second
team has been well hammered, the
style of play is essentially the same,
so there has been no chance to judge'
ability in meeting shifty formations.

High Thursday gave some chance,
hut Coach Cave asked that his men
should not be played too hard on ac
count of the Palouse game Saturday.
One thing that gives our team that
lighting spirit is tho possible loss of
two or our best men from the game
Friday. Nelson, our fast end, has a
had knee ,and Paddy Buck at half
has a bad leg, due to the Infection of
a scratch. Bradley and Ageton are
still out with bad shoulders. How
ever, the men may be able to go into
the game Friday. At present Deo
Caddis is playing Nelson's position.

to accommodate the Idaho rooters
and it is estimated that at leas) 800
will come from that town. The spec

with all possible speed to give the vis
itors who came down from Spokane

GRAIN MARKET AT STANDSTILL
No Change in Quotations by Local
Buyers since Last Week.
Quotations on grain of all kinds
and grades by local buyers are the
same as last week, and Indications
point to the fact thai many farmers
are holding their grain for a better
market, The local quotations today
ere as follows.
Red Russian 35
Club and Hybrid 67
Forty Fold 69
Bluestem 71
Fife and Turkey Red 68
Barley 85
Brewing Barley 00
Oats, per 100 1,20
F. W. Robinson, general freight
agent for the Southern Pacific and
O. 31. & N. lines, has given out the
following statement in Portland.
"The farmers in the large wheat
producing districts are holding for
better prices, and as a great percen
tage of the growers are able to do so
this year's crop has not started to
move to a large extent. With a gen
eral shortage of crops throughout the
country it would seem that the prices
would soon become more attractive
to the farmers. 1 look tor a strong
movement within the next few weeks,
Then we will he taxed to our capacity
in supplying cars to move the crops
to this port."
That less than one-third of the
main crop of Pullman and
vicinity has been sold is the opinion
of grain buyers there. Farmers are
certain that the price will advance
and are holding, As the Farmers
Union warehouses charge no fees until
January 1 it will cost the farmers
nothing tee hold their grain until that
time.
li is said at Walla Walla thai not
over 10,000 acres of stubble will be
turned under this fall tier spring sow
ing in that section. tittle fall grain
will be sown in tin' hills around Eu
reka Flats and the other light land
sections, as the farmer has not been
given a chance to kill he weed pests.
Fewer farmers are raising wheat
: and barley crops t w years out of
every three yearly, ami the prediction
is freely made that within a few
years grain will be sown on tin same
I:, I, I every other year only, or some
other method of crop rotation de
vised. Two grain crops hand run
ning are too heavy a drain on the
eel, farmers say.

COLLEGE TIMBER
W BEING STOLEN
$1,000 Set Aside to Investi
gate Wholesale Theft of
College Timber.
What scnis to be a big timber steal
has leaked out here in reference to
7 section! of land in Kittitas County,
owned by the state college, being a
part of the college endowment, from
which much timber has been stolen
and at one time, according to infor
mation given by a resident, 9000 ce
dar poles were taken. This land lies
In Township 10, range 13, cast, and
borders in the Ranler reserve,
Prof. R. W. Thatcher was sent out
by the college during tho summer
to ascertain the facts regarding the
grab, and has made tho following
report:
"Each alternate section in this part
of Kittitas county is owned by the
Northern Pacific railway ami tho
whole township borders on the Ra
ider forest reserve. From any high
point In this territory it is possible
to pick out tracts of land that belong
to the state college by their desolate
appearances. Practically all vegeta
tion on them has been destroyed by
the logging and subsequent fires,
while the railroad and forest reserves
are covered with luxuriant timber.
It appears to be a common opinion
among the' residents of this locality
Hint the state college land Is being
exploited by the Cascade Lumber Co.,
ami to us.' a common expression, that
the col lego Is 'easy picking" for any
unscroupulous persons or firms."
Of the total amount of seven sec
tions, there are three sections of tlm
l.'r now- absolutely worthless.
The Stat.' College itself has nothing
to do with the management of Its
lands, the disposal resting with the
land commissioner of the state.
To conduct their investigations of
the timber stealing from college lands
in the Cascades the. board of regents
have set aside $1000 college money.
Nearly 100,000 acres of timbered
land belonging by grant to the col
lege will come under the scrutiny
of the investigators, most of this
land being in th.. Cascades and west
ern Washington,
Because of the peculiar arrange
ment by which the state land com
missioner has absolute charge of
these college lands tic board of re
gents of tin- Institution endowed
must take extraordinary measures to
become possessed of Information re
garding them.
"The sale of these lands, the sale
of the timber on the lands or the
lease- of any part of these lands all
rests with the state land commission
er and the board of regents is not in
formed of the business transactions,"
stated President Bryan. "The board
has Bel aside $1000 to hire compet
ent cruisers to go over the college
lands, amounting in all to about
100,000 acres. What action will be
taken can not be determined until
more Information is a' hand."
An effort will be made to bring
more Information in regard to the
management of college Imd before
the regents.
