county for which the legislature is to be
asked, as defined by the convention,
takes two tiers of townships each off Of
Spokane and Whitman counties running
the entire length of the counties east
and west. This will leave Pennington
in Whitman county.
The Boston Herald says: ut should
be remembered that the four
blizzard states have just come
into the Union" Boston will have to
give up boasting of its learning and
intelligence if the editor of its leading
paper persists in advertising his pro-
found ignorance of the climate OF Wash
ington.
Regarding the comparative cost Of
running street railways the Electrical
Review says: upon close calculation
the cost of line running fifty cars op-
Grated with horses is $3OO75 a day; OPP
Grated with electricity the cost is $69.50.
Tht difference is $4.62 per day on each
car" On this showing Pullman, no
doubt, will select the electric system.
Thomas L. Munroe has purchased
Mr. Nye's interest in the hardware firm
Ct Carpenter & Nye and after the first of
December the new firm will be Carpenter
s& Munroe. A tin shop will be added to
Iksae business, under the management Of
Mr. Munroe which is a sufficient guaran-
tee that the quality and workmanship
win be A. Il. Here's success to The new
firm.

The delegates of the Washington
Farmers Alliance, in annual meeting
assembled at Rosalia, have memorializod
the legislature to compel by law the
carrying of grain to the coast at the rate
of one cent ton per mile, with cor
responding reduction on all other classes
Of freight. To make appropriations for
a plant to manufacture sacks at the
Walla Nalla penetentiarY, and to en-
act the Australian system of balloting.
"A COMMITTEES has been appointed hv
the Astoria chamber OF commerce to cir
culate among the citizens and see if they
are willing to give $4,000 as q bonus for
the erection Of a -four mill in that city,
with a capacity of 125 barrels day.
The Pioneer says: There is no ques-
ton but that the bonus of $4,000 can be
raised, and very quickly, too. No hest
fancy should be allowed in raising that
amount, as with a trifing effort the sum
can be secured inside of day. A -four
ing mill will be a big start in the direc-
ton OF securing other needed enterpris-
es, and we should by all means secure it
at once"
y The above shows what other towns are
willing to do for grist mill, and if
Pullman wants to keep her place in the
fr5nt ranks of progress she must do as
r6thers do or "get left"
Christmas approaches. The most use
full and ornamental presents are found
at the furniture store. Come while the
stock is fresh.
Three bills have been introduced in
the Legislature to locate the agricultural
college in Whitman county, one by
.;tapbenson III the house; one by Hutch
ylnson and one by Lawrence in the senate.
The bills by Hutchinson and Lawrence
are the same. They provide for COM
mission Of three persons to be appointed
by tho governor within 30 days after the
passage Of the bill, to select suitable
location; the lands chosen not to exceed
100 acres, and at a cost not to exceed
$50. They are to report to the governor
on or before June Is. A Amajority Of the
commission may select a sito. The
Stephenson bill is substantially the same
except that the report is to be made to
the legislature, or if it has adjourned,
then to the governor, and $40 per acre
is the limit fixed for the cost of the site.
Whitman is likely to get the college.
1.-THE Town of Flowing Wells" is
cognomen that can be properly and
truthfully applied to Pullman. Anoth-
or artesian well was struck this week on
R. Lanning's property on Grand street.
At depth Of 80 feet the water com
menced to flow but as the drill was still
in hard rock it was decided to bore
through to the sand strata. The deeper
it was bored the stronger did the water
flow until it was about as strong as that
of the other we'll which is 55 gallons
minute. At this writing the drill has
not gone through the rock and it is ex-
pected that when it does the water will
rise much higher than in Mr.. True's
