What is the matter with the mail

The streets of Pullman can be made
comparatively dry, even in the wettest
season, by having three drains on each
street, one on each side and in the mid
die. They should be dug at least four
feet deep, narrow at the bottom, and
then filled to about one and one half feet
of the top, with rock, the size of goose
eggs, this should be done before the
streets are macadamized.
Toby Newton, who was stopping at
the Empire House, was aroused from
his slumbers at an early hour Monday
morning, to find his room afire. He at
once gave the alarm but before any one
came to his aid he had the flames under
control. 1t was caused by defective
flue. No damage was done, to speak OF,
but had the room been unoccupied it
might have been disastrous.
Have you seen the Cutters at Knapp,
Burrell & Company's? They are daisies

Great credit is due the firm Of
Hunt & Buckley, for the liberal spirit
shown in furnishing lumber to the city,
for side walks, at cost. 1t is certainly
an exception to the rule of dealing with
a city or county. This firm realized
that the walks were for the benefit Of
the town, and being interested in the
welfare and advancement of Pullman,
they did more than could be expected
from them. It is due to the firm Of
Reaney & Enos, who also made bid
for the contract, to say that they were
actuated by the same spirit, and that
their bid was but trifie higher than
that of Hunt & Buckley.
