Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1889-06-15

Moscow is now agitating the ques-
ton of boring an artesian well and for
that purpose the council is considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of bonding the city for
$4,000.
A party of Pullman bellies, of both
sexes, INDUCED in quiet little basket
picnic in the groves of the Palouse last
Sunday, and of course enjoyed them
selves in frst-class style. Those CON-
posing the party were the Misses Fariss,
Hungate, Tewalt and Harris, and Messrs.
Richardson, Allen, Davidson, Olmsted
and Hungate.
&C. Q. Martin, well known as one of
the earliest pioneers of this section along
with "Uncle DAN" Mckenzie, and now
a successful fruit-grower ct Wa-wa-wai,
called Tuesday to subscribe for the in
dispensable HERALD. We like to get
acquainted with these old members of
civilizations advance guard, especially in
this way. Come right in, gentleman.
A HERALD representative went to
Colfax last Saturday, called on J. G.
Fullerton and, as result, he the HER
AID man now carries his arm in sling
"a few minutes more and it would have
been entirely off J. G. is good at adj
vertising the Staver & Walker goods
when he gets the man in his "parlor,"
but nothing will corral them better than
a good ad. in the HERALD.
-Thos. H. Kaylor brought in sam
pie of fall wheat from his farm q half
mile north of town which would surprise
the farmers of any other country but
the Palouse. From one grain there are
SO stalks and each stalk has an average
of rs grains or a total of $3.50 grains.
The sample is not selected one, but
fair average of $40 acres. 1t stands
five feet eight inches high, and Is only
in it's bloom.
-Farini & McMahon's circus was the
event of Wednesday. The town was
crowded by visitors from the country; the
old folks came to see the artesian well
while the childern( y took in the circus.
OF course some of the children had to be
escorted by their parents to the circus,
which was quite proper. The HERALD
representative had complimentary ticket
and hence felt under obligations to go.
The performance was exceptionally good.
The east-bound N. P. passenger
train, last Friday evening, killed
valuable Durham Cow belonging to W.
o. Booth, two miles east. On Sunday
evening tue same engine, at the same
place, ran into and killed two steers be-
longing to farmer named Blodgett.
The scene Of the accident is a short and
sharp curve in deep cut, where the
engineer cannot see the rails trains
length ahead. Keep your cattle away
from the tracks.
The law requires that sign boards
be placed at theinterseotion Of all county
roads. Not dozen can be found in the
county. Those whose duty it is to at
tend to this matter excuse themselves by
the plea that it is impossible to keep
guide boards up as campers use the
posts for fuel What is the matter with
using metallic posts? They can be Sc
cured and placed upon the ground at an
expense very little greater than those
commonly used in other places.
From our Yakima exchanges we
learn that w. W. Stone, of Ellensburgh,
E. A. Hollinshead, of Pullman, c. E.
Bel, of Tacoma, and Jos. E. Smith, of
Endicott, and others, are working up a
poultry and pet stock show for the
state of Washington this fall. The ex-
hibition will include all kinds of chick
eHs, turkeys, geese, ducks, guineas, pea
fowls, canary birds, pigeons, guinea pigs,
rabbits, etc. North Yakima is sug-
pested as the DOint for the show.
