attendance. The party INDUCED in
dancing, to the best of music by Prof.
Harris, until II o'clock.
M. A. helms is canvassing the town
with several books, for which he has the
agency. He makes Moscow his head
quarters. NJ. A. has every requisite for
success as a book agent.
Those who are acquainted with the
tide land question in all its bearings,
and who have no "ax to grind" express
themselves as well satisfied with the
solution adopted by the constitution.
The republican Legislative ticket is
composed of men of honor, integrity and
ability, and are temperate in their habits.
No one need be ashamed to vote for
them. They will be credit to Whit
man county in the legislature.
The population of Whitman county
has been increased by three births since
our last issue, namely: to Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos. King, on the 10th, boy; to Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Severe, on the 14th,
boy, and to Mr.. and Mrs. johnson, boy.
"A. T. Fariss is in favor of abolish
ing the Office of lieutenant governor,
auditor and commissioner of public lands.
The constitution gives the Legislature
the right to abolish these offices, there
fore, if you think that the constitution
provides for too many officers vote for
Fariss.
Miss May Mcconnell returned to
Moscow, last Sunday evening, to resume
her duties as a teacher in the public
schools of that place, which opened Mon
day morning. Miss Mcconnell has given
the best of satisfaction as a school
''marm," the patrons of the school being
unanimous in their praise.
The people Of the United States
use nearly 1000, 100000 postage stamps
annually, nearly enough to put two
girdles around the earth at the equator.
They pay nearly s4O,OOO,0OO for them.
The La. est sales are made at the New
York 'tof1ice, Chicago being the
second largest consumer Of stamps.
Pullman needs a few more store
rooms. There is not an empty room in
town at the present time, and parties
contemplating putting in business
will not build until they know that the
business will pay. We cannot expect
any new firms to come IN unless we make
room for them. Let us have a few more
brick buildings.
The constitution provides for hay
ing all the questions to be voted on
printed on one ticket The voter must
scratch off that for which he does not
want to vote and write the name Of the
place he wants for the capital If you
vote the ticket as printed without
scratching off what You don't want, you
will lose your vote.
The people OF Pullman were very
much disappointed when it was an
nounced that Hon. John 3. Allen could
not come to address them on the issue of
the day, last Saturday. He was taken
sick at Colfax and was confined to his
bed until Monday evening. He stopped
over night at Pullman on his way to
Davenport, and made few remarks in
the republican club-room.
When rightly understood, the consti-
tuition deals with all matters effecting
the people in a manner, that in time,
will be recognized as wise and of supe
rior craftsmanship. If any one thinks
he has an objection to it he should not
vote against it on account of that obiec-
ton until he has made sufficient inquiry
from those who are acquainted with its
provisions, as to be convinced, beyond a
doubt, of the existence of that fact to
which he objects.
We are informed that the state
ments which have appeared in the HER
AID from time to time relative to the
yield OF wheat in this vicinity, are con-
sidered by some who are not acquainted
with our section of country to be exag-
gerated. That several farmers had a
yield of 60, and at least one had 61 bush
els, and quite a number over so bushels
per acre of wheat this season we can
substantiate by the af1idavits of the gen.
tlemen themselves. However, their word
is sufficient as they are all men of YER
acity.
The first copy of the illustrated
weekly of the Pacific coast has reached
our table, and we must say that it sur
passes all our expectations. Nopietoral
journal in the world is superior to this
number of the West Shore, and the
thought that it is to be weekly visitor
is very pleasant one. The number be-
fore us contains graphic sketch, in
colors, entitled Running a Gauntle of
