The apples on J. Crawford's trees
are so thick that he has to pluck them
off for the hogs to keep the branches
from breaking.
Add. Ezel returned from Medical
Lake last Wednesday evening. Mrs.
Reed remained in Spokane Falls until
Thursday evening.
"A business man in Pullman practi-
cally admits that he would have made
from 500 to $3.50 if he had read the
HERALD Of last week.
e. r. Smith, of Snake river, will
irrigate his orchard by means of ny
draulic ram, which will raise the water
from the river. The ram was ordered
from Chicago through Farlss Bros. and
arrived here Thursday.
Harvest and threshing has com
menced and the farmers are agreeablY
surprised at the yield. The crop will be
up to an average; wheat that only stands
Is inches high, and which at one time
was considered worthless, is turning out
from 20 to % bushels per acre and OF an
excellent quality.
"A grist mill would be benefit, not
only to the town, but to the farmers; in
fact the latter would receive the most
direct benefit. Now, it is evident that a
mill will not be built here unless we do
something to encourage it. If the peo-
pie of town, and the farmers, each do
their share we can secure one this fall
Let us have a mill.
Mrs. Buchanan will move to Colfax
next week, having formed partnership
with Mrs. Wann, Of that place, to engage
in the millinery business. Mrs. Blu
chanan's millinery stock will be moved
from her building on Grand street to
the HERALD block and conducted by
Miss Grace Phillips as a branch of the
Colfax store. We wish the ladies an
abundance of success.
In 1916 it took just one bushel Of
corn to buy one pound of nails, now one
bushel of corn will buy ten pounds Of
nails. Then it required sixty-four bush
els of barley to buy one yard of broad
cloth; now the same amount of barley
will pay for twenty yards of broad cloth
It then required the price of one bushel
Of wheat to pay for one yard Of calico;
now one bushel of wheat will buy twenty
yards of calico.-E1.
Bill Nye, to newspaper patrons;
"Don't attempt to cheat an editor out
Of a years subscription of his paper, or
any sum. Cheat the minister, the
neutrality-suspicious. if you have any
regard for your future consequences,
don't fool with printer. He will get
even with you, and more too. You will
be put up for Office some time, or want
some public favor for yourself or some of
your friends, and just when your luck is
a thing of beauty and a JOY forever, the
printer will open up on you and knock
your air castle into cooked hat at the
first round"
"A town is nothing if it cannot be
up with the times. Accordingly, few
of Pullman's ladies feeling that the
prosperous future of their town is at
stake, have organized a Chautauqua
society, the object of which is to take
the regular Chautauqua course, while,
in connection with this they are to pur-
sue the study of natural history, keep
posted on the doings of our government
officials at the national capital, digest
our new state constitution and familiar
ize themselves with any subject worthy
of their attention. Mrs Walter Windus
was chosen as president, and the ladies
will soon be in ship shape order for work.
The city dads believe that the town
cannot afford to expend money at pres
ent on water works for protection against
fire. The first duty of a town is self
protection; fire is a towns worst enemy
and every means should be employed to
fight it when it comes. Two thousand
dollars would be sufficient to thoroughly
equip us with the necessary means of
protection. Will nothing be done until
there is a surplus in the treasury
sufficient to defray the expense? 1t Is
false economy that puts off this i'm
portant matter for a day. Every one
acknowledges the need of accessible
water in case of fire; then why not have
it? 1t is easy to raise the money with
out making it burden to anyone
Will the matter be indefinitely postponed
until after the town is in ashes?
Last Thursday evening, from six to
