Another gushing artesian well has
been struck. This one was bored by
Mr.. Shupe in Reaney's addition to Pull
man, and is flowing nearly as much
water as the best of the others 1t is
the deepest one of eight now IN the town,
being l30 feet in depth. It appears to
be different vein from the others, as
no sand was brought to the surface by
the water. When the vein was first
struck the water came from the drill
hole with a rush. The striking of this
well makes Reaney's addition more
valuable than before, as there is water
in sufficient quantity and Of sufficient
force to supply the entire fat. The well
is in the park around which the res
| idence lots are for snt,.
The town erante1 to IeKenzie &
Baird aa franchise efsS,s~poles and
string wires on all the streets and alleys
and public places in Pullman for electric
lights. The plant to be on, the ground
inside of forty days and to be in running
order in ninetydays. The order for the
plant was telegraphed to the house at
San Francisco and we are informed that
Pullman will have electric lights about
Christmas or New Years. The system
purchased is Thompson's, one of the
finest in the market. The HERALD is
pleased TO know that home capital will
be invested in this enterprise, which
cannot fail to be profitable investment.
Everyone should give the enterprise aid
and encouragement, until at last it is
firmly established.
Postmaster Lobaugh is kept busy
early and late handling the large amount
of mail now received at the Pullman
office. There is so much mail trans
ferred here that it curtails Mr.. Lobaugh's
time, and he can not give the proper
time to the city mail, hence there is con
siderable complaint. The cause cannot,
however, be remedied until the postofice
department allows Mr.. Lobaugh more
help. This should be attended to at
once, and thus keep the Office up to the
demands of the town. 1t would try the
patience of q Job to attend to the Pull
man mai! alone, and then it would try
the patience of another Job to wait for
his mail until Mr.. Lobaugh has had time
to attend to the distribution. Let Mr.,
Lobaugh have an assistant at once.
Senator Watson g. Squire should
be reelected. This is the wish of the
majority of the people Of the state and
should not be disregarded by our legis-
lators. Senator Squire has a good
record in the session Of congress just
ended. He has been tried, and has
been found true to the interests of the
state, and active in the work of obtain
ing salutary legislation for his constitu-
ents. Why should a senator who has
done himself and the state such credit
be thrown over merely to crafty the
ambition of a new and untried man?
Moreover, in all fairness, Senator Squire
should be reelected. 1t was his mis-
fortune to draw the short term, and it
would seem to be only justice to elect
him again for that reason aione.-Ga-
zette.
