VOLUME XXVII
GAS SUPPLY FOR PULLMAN
PROPOSED BY SEATTLE CO.
'.■ 11. Burnett and Associate Ask
I franchise From Council for In.
; V gtallation and Operation of
Big Gas Plant Will He
Granted
Pullman Is assured of a gas plant
in; the very near future. At the
meeting 'of the city council Tuesday
evening an ordinance was presented
{or consideration by L. H. Burnett
aid associates, connected with the
United, States gas Service company
of Seattle, by the terms of which a
50-year franchise would be granted
to the petitioners for the operation
of a gas plant, the gas to be fur
nished to all residents at a rate of
•ji.4o per thousand cubic feet, with
10 cents per thousand feet deduction
I for payment on or before the tenth
r o! each month. The petition, which
met with much favor at the hands of
the counclloien, was given first
radii, then turned over \£o the
public affairs committee for further
, lurotlgation and consideration, and
■:' will undoubtedly be reported back
"atrorably with the addition of sev
eral minor amendments, one estab
lishing a graduated tax for the
franchise, and another specifying
that the grantees must put up a bond
to guarantee that work on the plant
will }be;; started within a specified
time, probably 90 days.
_ The' agent who appeared per
sonally before the coincll to present
the request for franchise, outlined
the plans for the construction of the
plant. It is proposed to put in a
plant that will serve a population of
,10,000 people, so constructed that
additional units, each capable of
taking care of an additional popula
tion of 2500, may be installed from
time to time as the increased popu
lation warrants. The initial cost of
the plant would probably reach
175,000, and 12 men would bo car
ried on the pay rolls. The agent
stated that In" all cases where it is
; Possible, local people will be given
the preference when situations are
to be filled.
The sincerity of the petitioners is
.indicated by the fact that they have
Jnst completed the Installation of a
Plant at Auburn and that another is
.now under way at Bremerton, to be
completed by June 15.
|| Tne ordinance granting the fran
chise, which is now under considera
tion by the council, is as follows:

The selection of Satterthwaite
and Kennedy will fill all the vacant

and will give Pullman a corps of
high school Instructors that would
be a credit to a town twice Its size.

CONFERENCE BASEBALL TITLE
1 TO STATE COLLEGE TEAM
Bender's Men Win Two Sizzling
Games From O. A. C. in Con-
Conference Series—Hartman
Pitches Hectic
Another notch was. cut in Coach
Johnnie Bender's baseball champion
ship stick this week when his Wash
ington State College team emerged
victors from the conference cham
pionship series with O. A. C, taking
two sizzling games, both contests of
a calibre to please the most exacting
fan, by scores of 4-2 and 4-3.
While every man on the XV. S. C.
team is a hero in the eyes of the
fans, to Pitcher Al Hartman, Ben
der's star southpaw, goes the lion's
share of the glory, with second hon
ors to the veteran Dave Kuehl,
catcher. Hartman pitched both
games, the second of which went 12
innings, and never once -'wavered,
being at all times master of tho situ
ation, and pitching magnificent ball
every one of the 21 innings. That
he was wonderfully suported by
Kuehl is proved by the fact that not
one passed ball was chalked up
against the catcher in either game,
and not a man on the O. A. C. team
was able to pilfer a base during '.lie
21 innings.
Williams pitched both games for
O. A. C, and his work was good
enough to win nine out of ten times,
which makes W. S. C.'s magnificent
victory even sweeter.

big league pace, and errorless ball

NUMBER 35
behind them, not a score was reg
istered in the first game, played on
Monday, until the last half of the
sixth inning, when Satterthwaite
singled, advanced to third on two
errors in the 0. A. C. infield, inci
dentally the only miscues they made
during the game, and crossed the
plate when Dave Kuehl sent a neat
sacrifice fly to deep center field.
The upset in the visitors' Infield was
undoubtedly occasioned by the
voluminous burst of rooting that
broke out iv the sixth inning from
the hundreds of student fans, but
the visitors steadied again in the
seventh and Bender's men, were re
tired in one, two, three order.
Again in the eighth, however, the
rooting brigade got in Its work, aud
this time It was Williams himself
who showed the effect of the
"panning," with the result that
three runs crossed the plate. Bohler,
first up, swung on a wild pitch for
his third ' strike and took first.
Schroeder singled and Satterthwaite
connected for his second hit, scoring
Bohler. Tully cut loose with a siz
zling single that scored both
Schroeder and Satterthwaite, and
the game was won.
O. A. C. made a bid for honors in
the final period, when a base on
balls, an error and a two-base drive
were responsible for two runs.
