I A Silver Cup for Our High School
Football Champions
—
f- , Prof. Ellis has called our attention to the fact that no tro
phy has been awarded our High School Football Heroes of last
pall- Cups have been given to victorious Track and Debating
'teams of the Whitman County High School Association, but
none to our uncouquered Football squad.
' v This is not fair to the boys who so successfully represented
Pullman on the gridiron last Fall.
|0 We have, therefore, placed an order for a Beautiful Silver
Clip, to be awarded to our Champions of 1910, ami to eventually
become the property of the Whitman County High School who
can win and successfully defend it for three consecutive years,
Home Team has the first year's victory to its credit, we
hope iI may becomes the owner of the Cup

Washington Agricultural College
has been engaged in a great work for
several years past, that of analyzing
the soils of the state of Washington,
including also those of the Inland
Empire. It has recently republished,
hi Bulletin No, 34, a statistical record
of its work for the use of farmers.
The lands in the Inland Empire are
agricultural in such good case that
there is no need whatsoever to hide
any facts concerning them and it
were well if all fruit and other farm
ing lands would press into their serv
ice these statistics, giving the buyer,
especially the man from the east
and from other countries — the man
whom it is desired to attract into this
country in order to upbuild it, an op
portunity of knowing exactly what is
necessary for its scientific cultiva
tion.
For instance, the four chief con
stituents of soil are lime, potash,
j phosphoric acid and nitrogen; the
lime being chielly valuable, however,
in increasing the ease of tilth. Some
lands, notoriously those of certain
parts of the Kootenay in British Co
lumbia, but within the Inland Em
pire are deficient ln nitrogen. Hence,
the settler is told by all sellers hav
ing a real Interest In the country
which they are exploiting that It is
advisable to lay down that land in
clover for the first year, plowing It
in on the second, thereby affording
the necessary nitrogen. No time is
lost in the long run, although appar
ently one year is wasted. If the set
tler is not told this he will discover,
after the lapse of a few years, that
his trees are starving for the lack of
nitrogen and he will be disgusted
with the land, which Is really good
and actually among the best fruit
land on this continent, because of
(he concealment of the truth at the
beginning of his enterprise. The
district in question will get a black
eye because of the limited business
ability of those promoters and be
cause of their bad faith.
Some land is deficient In lime,
some In phosphoric acid, some In
potash; but such facts are too often
left to the settler to find out for him
self, with the consequence that set
tlement is discouraged rather than
promoted in the long run. The Pull
man Agricultural College is doing Its
best to supplement this needed In
formation, but it is not generally
known that its literature on these
matters Is accessible to any appli
cant, also that the college will under
take, in reason, the analysis of any
soil sent to it. —Inland Herald.

RALPH HOLGERSON
DECLARED INNOCENT
Testimony Which Convicted Him
Proves Unreliable Case of Mis
taken Identity.
Ralph Holgerson of Tacoma, who
was found guilty and ordered ex
pelled by the hoard of regents late
Thursday night for complicity in the
raid on Stevens hall has been declar
ed Innocent, fully exonerated and re-
Instated In the school. v l ,
The three who confess to having
perpetrated the raid are John F.
Foran. captain of the ball team,
a sophomore in the mining school,
whose home is in Seattle; Horace E.
Smith, senior in the mining depart
ment, from Spokane, ami Stanley 11,
Knapp of Seattle, junior in the veter
inary science department.
Tho names of the real culprits
come as a surprise to all. While Mr.
Foran was at first among those sus
pected, evidence was slight and he
was in line to be cleared. The other
two names had never once been on
the list of suspects.
The boys could not believe llol
geraon would be expelled on such in
correct testimony, else, they declare,
they would have cleared the matter
sooner. They had never intended
letting an Innocent man suffer, and
when they learned that girls in
Stevens Hal! testified positively that
Holgerson was one of the party, they
could stand it no longer.
Their Story.

ing the girls' dormitory shortly be
fore midnight when one of the trio
suggested going into the dormitory
and overturning beds. Before stop
ping to think of the seriousness of
the escapade the other two consent
ed. They entered the dining room,
went upstairs, went into five rooms,
overturned the beds, throwing the
girls out, and hit by way of the din
ing room, after trying several doors
that were locked.
Action of Regents.
The regents thanked the three
self-confessed raiders for what they
termed "your manly actions," and.
as a re-ward for their confession, they
were not expelled, but indefinitely
suspended. This means they can
again enter Washington State Col
lege or some other state school or
university, while If they had been
expelled this would have been im
possible.
