WHEAT PRICES SOAR;
FARMERS JUBILANT
European War Scare Sends beat
Skyward, Although Oats and
Bailey Remain at Low
1.1 el,
Prompted by the European war
scare which followed Austria-Hun
garia's declaration of war against
rvia, wheat prices have been
climbing skyward at a lively clip
during the past few days, and Pa
louse country farmers are jubilant.
Since last Friday wheat prices have
advanced six cents per bushel, the
greater part en the' advance being
noted in the quotations of Wednes
day and Thursday. Fortyfold wheat
yesterday reached 72% cents in the
local market, the highest price for
many weeks, with club at 71 ft cents
and red Russian at 70 cents. Just a
week ago today fortyfold was quot
ed at 66 cents, club at 65 cents and
red Russian at 64 cents, with appar
ently no hope for a raise, and early
this week several Pullman farmers
contracted their fortyfold wheat at
69 and 70 cents, when the market
showed a quotation of 68 cents on
that variety, they receiving a price In
advance of the market on account of
the excellent quality of their pro
duct.
With the market advancing at an
almost phenomenal rate, the farm
ers are showing little inclination to
contrail their crops, evidently an
ticipating a still greater increase in
prices as the Eureopean war cloud
gains volume. Oats and bailey are'
unaffected by the conditions which
sent wheat skyward, and both of
these products remain at a low mark.
Oats were yesterday quoted at 85
cents per hundredweight, with feed
barley at 75 cents per hundred
weight and the brewing grade five
cents higher.
Very little threshing has been
done in the vicinity of Pullman, al
though In the western part of the
county threshing machines are going
full blast, considerable grain has
been cut in eastern Whitman, and
some fields have been threshed.
Next week will see harvest opera
tions on in earnest in all parts of
the county.
Many separator explosions, caused
by the overabundance of smut in the
wheat, have occurred In western
Whitman, no less than 29 of these
explosions, some of them followed
by disastrous fires, having been re
ported. Smut is also very much In
evidence in this part of the county
and the threshermen will undoubted
ly experience the same difficulty
when operations start here.

PRESIDENT ENOCH A. BRYAN
SENIORITY IN PRESIDENCY OF ALL
STATE INSTITUTIONS
(From The Povv Wow)
On an October da) in I "till. Will
iam of Normandy assembled the vic
ini ious sun i\ era of his army, count
ed them, made' record of i hose liv lug,
I,resent, or accounted for, In order
that he might know how many good
soldiers his victor) over Harold had
cost him. The cost was heavy.
Hastings was a real battle for those
days and the English had not yield
ed to William the Conqueror without
v mighty struggle.
William desired that the Hastings
battlefield should have- a suitable
monument, so be caused to be erect
ed thereon Battle Abbey, and In Bat
tle- Abbe) he' enrolled the' names of
the' survivors of Hastings. This is
the famous Roll of Battle Abbey. In
following centuries, it came to pass
that many famous families of Eng
land pointed with pride tee the name
en an ancestor whose name was In- ,
scribed in the Roll Of Battle Abbey. |i
It is with one' of these families
that this article has to do.
One of the names em the Roll is
that of Baldwin de Brionne, viscount
of Devon in the- Conqueror's time.
W'ido de Brionne, another of that
name, conquered a seigneury in
Wales. Time went on. The con
quered Saxons and the conquering ;
Normans gradually grew into one
people— the English race of today.
The descendants of Baldwin and
W'ido de Brionne were quite numer
ous. Eventually the family name
became "Brian." Later, still in the
Middle Ages however, it became
"Bryan." One of thee Bryans was a
judge in the- court of Queen Eliza
beth. The name became quite well
known in England. In Scott's Ivan
hoe, Brian de Bois-Guilbert is the
preceptor of the Knights Templars.
Two brothers of the Bryan family
came to the Colonies in I 738. The
descendants of one of these moved
southerly, and westerly, out through
the Carollnas It. Is probable thit
William Jennings Bryan is of th's
branch of the- family. The family
and descendants of the other moved
northerly, out into Pennsylvania and
Ohio. It is of this branch that Presi
dent E. A. Bryan is a member.
Grandfather Bryan of the- north
ern branch, lived in Delaware on the
Brandywlne when tbe Revolutionary
war began. The day before the Bat
tle of Brandywlne, In which Lord
Howe Inflicted a defeat upon Gen
eral Washington, the latter and his
staff took dinner at the Bryan farm.
In a branch of the family in Indi
ana, the table used upon this occa- j
•ion is still preserved. Several sil-j
ver teaspoons, captured in an engage
ment on Chesapeake Bay, are also j
preserved.
On the maternal side, was Grand
father Beabout, whose home at this
time was over in New Jersey near
the Monmouth battlefield. He had '
some experiences of his own. Mon
mouth is remembered as the battle j
ill which General Washington he
can '■ angered at General Lee and
ordered him to tin- rear. Devout
churchman though ho was, on this
occasion, says the historian, General
Washington "swore till the very
leaves of the trees trembled."
It, was em this occasion that Lee
was captured by the Hessians. At
the time- of the capture he was
quartered at the homo of Grand
father Beabout. The Hessians stole
Into the American territory, quickly
effected the capture and retreated
hastily* leaving In the rear one of |
their comrades to gather up certain
belongings which they had left.
Grandfather Beabout was wroth.
Not only had the Hessians raided his
home unceremoniously and taken
therefrom a distinguished guest, but
It may be- safely guessed that they
also took sundry chickens and cattle
and trampled down fields and
knocked down fences. He had
bound to him in service till he was
21, a "bound-boy" who was is. He
told the bound-boy that, if he- would
capture the Hessian, he would re
lease him from service.
So the bound-boy, a hero whose
name has not been handed down,
armed himself with an old flint-lock,
bestrode the old gray mare, and
charged down the road after the
Hessian, win, had just departed. Ho
captured him, brought him back, and
he and Grandfather Beabout deliv
ered their prisoner to General Wasn
ington.
Following their advantage at
Brandywlne, the English swept
through the country, driving out all
the cattle they could find. They took
Grandfather Bryan's cattle, leaving
the family in quite straightened cir
cumstances so far as live stock were
concerned. A little later, the Bryan*
left their home em the Brandywine
and went to Pennsylvania, where the
older Bryan established a small
woolen mill. President Bryan's
grandfather em the paternal side was
at, this time a lad of 14, and went
with his father to Pennsylvania.
There the boy grew up, married a
Scotch-Irish girl, and they raised
quite a large family. One of these
children. President. Bryan's father,
became a minister. Others were
physicians. The town of Bryan,
Ohio, is named for an ancle, who was
a surveyor.
While the father of President
Bryan was a student at old Jefferson
College—now Washington and Jef- i
ferson — Daniel Webster on one oc- i
casion delivered the graduation ora
tion. He began with a long citation
la Latin from Virgil. At one point
in the address, he said:
"When yet the howling of the wolf
could be heard from the college
halls, old Dr. Anderson was teaching
his boys ln Jefferson College."
Dr. Anderson was the first presl

Assistant Football . Coach at
W. S. c.—Heavy Schedule
Arranged
(.'ouch John K. Bender will have
au able assistant in rounding out
the 191 I W. S. C. Coothball team in
Edgar 11. (''Eddie") Klenholz, a
member of tho 1913 graduating
class, who this week accepted the
position which was tendered him by
college officials. Klenholz will be
Instructor in agriculture and horti
culture in the elementary science de
partment and director of elementary
athletics ln addition to his duties as
assistant coach. Coach F. W. /.ink,
who last year had charge of the ele
mentary athletic activities, has been
promoted to assistant to Coach J. F.
Bohler in tho department of physical
education.
Kienholz is well qualified for his
position as assistant football coach,
as well as his position as instructor.
For three years he played a half
back position on the varsity team,
and is one of the few men who have
left college after having won honor
letters in all the branches of ath
letics, he having won his letter in
baseball, track and basket ball as
well as football, He was an excep
tional student, having graduated
with honor, thereby putting some
healthy kinks in the general theory
that the best athletes are not the
best students. Since graduation he
has been athletic coach at the North
Yakima high school, where he has
also taught agriculture, and met
with great success in both phases of
his work. Kienholz will be remem
bered as the best punter since the
days of Joe Halm, and made possible
many a victory for W. S. C. with his
handy toe work. He is an aggressive
hard working player, and should
prove a big success as a coach.
Coach Bender Is well pleased with
his selection, and predicts that he
will make good.
Probably the heaviest football
schedule In the history of the col
lege has been arranged for Bender's
proteges this fall, nine hard games
having been already scheduled, with
one or two more almost sure to be
scheduled later. The squad, as
usual, will play every team In the
Northwest conference, the policy of
the college being to carry a heavy
schedule in all branches of athletics
as the only fair means of giving all
the contestants a complete tryo'it
for the respective teams during the
year. This policy also proves an in
