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

Charles Fl. Dodd, the veteran agri-
cultural implement dealer, visited Pull
man, Wednesday. He thinks the town
is one of his boss points, and we should
not "wonder." Good agents here.
"A nice, paying business in Pullman,
established several years, can be bought
at a reasonable price. A fine chance for
securing a trade in which there is no
competition. Call on or address the
HERALD for particulars.
The many friends of Archie White
will regret to learn that he is again i'll,
this time with a serious attack of pneu-
monia. Recovering from the measles,
he came outdoors too soon and contract
ed a cold, resulting in the present sick
ness.
Auction sale bills promptly execut-
ed at this Office. Or any other bill.
The Tacoma Real Estate journal
observes that "the new town of Pullman
seems to be going forward rapidly the
present year, putting up fine school
building and erecting innumerable
etc" Correct, sir; there are
no flies roosting on Pullman or its peo-
pie.
The Methodist society is about to
move its church building to the lots do
mated by the Messrs. Moore. Really,
however, the society would like to get
down from the hill. Yet, ga city set
upon hill cannot be hidden Likewise
a church. In the valley it might be
otherwise.
Rev. Mr.. Davies, of the Congrega-
tional church, delivered his farewell ser
mon last Sabbath. He intends to re-
move either to California or the Sound
country, but has not, we believe, fully
decided which. Mr.. D. is gentleman
of fine abilities, and valuable acquisi-
ton to any society.

N. S. Hunt reports that the chick
en-thief is abroad and that he is per-
son Of discriminating taste, having Sc
lected and carried away half dozen or
SO of his (Hunt's) valuable Plymouth
Rocks last Sunday night. OF course
its wicked to steal, yet the present alti-
tude of egg prices is liable to tempt a
man to do most anything.
That case of smallpox reported as
at Colfax in last weeks HERALD proves
to be fact. 1t is well quarantined, we
are told, but nevertheless it behooves us
as a town (as we have said before) to
see that this dread disease does not en-
ter Pullman. Our city authorities have
the responsibility attached to them in
this matter. Let us have quarantine
or fumigation.
Board by the week or month. APP

The large number Of fruit trees sold
here by nurserymen this fall indicates a
most praisworthy movement on the part
of our farmers toward extensive orchard
cultivation in the future. There is no
reason why Whitman county should not
raise all the apples, plums, pears and
cherries needed for home consumption,
and much more. Prunes, too, would
probably do well here; at least, they are
worth the trial.
The filing on the Main-st exten-
sion eastward has been completed, and
the street is now open for teams and
traffic the entire length. Ina very short
time this extension vilfbe all built up
with business houses and residences,
several contracts having already been
made to that effect. The lots are now
owned by Pullman men entirely, and
they propose to sell at nominal prices to
all who who will build on them. 1t is a
fact that there is but little choice be-
tween any of these lots; every one of
them is desirable piece Of business
property. The structures to be erected
in the spring will be mainly of brick, SO
we are informed land they should be,
to beautify the town, to lessen the dan
