Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1888-12-01

| SARGENT ~ NELL, HuD rs.
The 0. r. & n. has recently re-
duced its freight rates to this and other
territorial points from the East, via
the Union Pacific and Oregon Short
Line, to the same basis as that charged
by the Northern Pacific. So much for
a healthy and genuine competition in
our railroads.
As will be seen by their advertise
ment in this issue, Messrs. N. S. Hunt
and VIM. Buckley, of this city, have
formed a partnership and will start
lumber rd here, near the Northern Pa
cifc depot, at once. They will keep
full stock of lumber, and also sash, doors,
blinds, etc, all of which have been or
! dered from manufacturers.
"A thoroughly competent school
principal who wants him? Call on or
address the HERALD.
An artist, gentleman named Eel
lows, was in town the other day, making
sketches of Pullman and its prominent
buildings for an historical work of the
territory soon to be issued. We didn't
catch him soon enough to ascertain just
when, how, by whom, or for what pur-
pose the volume was to be printed, but
the redoubtable book-agent will unques-
tionably be along in due season to en-
Tighten us all.
VIM. Vedder, believing that fine
stock is one of the best of investments
for the farmer, has just purchased of the
Washington Importing Co, of this place,
thoroughbred short horn bull of the
famous Cruikshank strain. 1t is only
about eight months old, but is a James
dandy animal. This Importing Co., BY
the way, is one Of THE institutions of
Pullman and Whitman county. Mana
ger Hollinshead is no novice in the bust
ness, and you can rely upon whatever
he recommends.

The city council has just had
quantity Of letter-heads printed at this
Office, on the back of each sheet Of
which is a description of Pullman's ia
cilities and advantages as place of
business and residence, and also a brief
account of Whitman county. The idea
is good one, and will scatter needed
information regarding this lively spot
far and wide. ANY of our merchants de-
string this matter printed upon their
stationery will be accommodated at

H. G. DePledge, who has filled the
position of superintendent of the North
ern Pacific elevator interests here for
some time past, has resigned that place
to accept the cashiers desk in the Bank
of Colfax, recently rendered him. He
enters upon his new duties next Wed
nesday. Merit always wins. Mr. De-
Pledge is a gentleman Of enterprise and
strict integrity; and, while regreting
his departure from Pullman, his friends
will nevertheless join in congratulating
him and the bank upon his advancement,
so to speak.
The new roller skates have arrived,
and the Rink will be open tonight (Sat-
urday). Come one, come all and have
good time. The ladies will serve supper
from to 8, at 25 cents each.

The elegant supper served by the
Pullman ladies on Thanksgiving night,
was a grand success financially and 9th
WISE The long tables laden with tooth
some viands and spread in very attract
i've manner, were tempting sight and
well might the ladies be proud of their
efforts. All praise is due them and their
gentlemen assistants for the admirable
manner in which the affair was conduct
ed. We learn as we go to press that the
net proceeds amounted to $106.75. The
dance was also right jolly affair, par
ticipated in by some 40 couples.
