Saturday evening was well attended
and each feature of the musical program
was decidedly well carried out. The
| juvenile band won much applause.
Archie White and wife went down
to Portland to attend the graduating
exercises Of the Portland medical college
where Will White has been studying,
They will return In about two weeks ac-
companied by DR.. Will White.
Mrs. F. E. Carpenter has just received
large stock of spring millinery goods,
direct from the east, and the ladies are
requested to call and examine them.
This stock will be sold as cheap as is
possible for the best quality of goods.
Al. Reaney has ordered trees to
plant several acres of his addition, and
will lay it out in park. This will not
only add to the attractiveness of the
town, but will enhance property in Rea-
ney's addition. 1t is move in the
right direction.
On Sunday night some unknown
parties burglarized Staver & Walkers
safe at Colfax, but only obtained about
nine dollars. There are several suspi-
cious characters in Colfax and Moscow,
and it might be well for every one to be
on their guard.
Martin Kaylor and G. G. Raby, on
Tuesday morning, started for Spokane
Falls with buggy and team, which M.
G. True had sold in that city. The trip
was any thing but a pleasant one as
the roads were in very bad condition.
Martin returned Friday evening, and
Raby remained with the view of getting
situation.
The concert and dramatic enter
tainment brought out quite a crowd
Tuesday evening. The muisc was of
that high class which is characteristic OF
Pullmans musicians, and the drama,
"The Last Loaf" was well performed by
the home company. The plot Of this
play is hardly up to the standard of the
ones previously presented by the com
pany, but it contains many good points
and they were well brought out by the
actors.
New York; mourns the loss of %
hens and rooster, the loss being caused
by the midnight depredations of mink.
John Kerr, with his characteristic good
ness OF heart, raided "N.ow Yoriz's" hen
house for the purpose Of killing the
murderous mink, and succeeded in put
ting an end to the animals life, but in
so doing lost his hat, and it was carried
down stream by the swift current of the
mighty Palouse. "New York" bewails
the fate of his fowls, but John refuses
to be comforted when he thinks of his
$3.50 hat"
The regular monthly delegate con-
vention of the farmers alliance, met
here Yesterday in the opera house, and
over 100 delegates were present. Mat
ters of Importance to farmers were dis
cussed, and much interest was manifested
in the proceedings by those present.
The next meeting will be held at Colfax,
on the last Friday of April. Before ad
iournment, resolutions were passed ten
dering the thanks of the convention to
the citizens of Pullman for the courtesies
shown and to A. ReaneY for the use of
the opera house, and also to the juvenile
band for music furnished. The dele
gates expressed themselves as being
surprised that boys SO young as those
in the band could be taught to play as
well as they do in SO short time.
J. E. Ballaine is now engaged as
travelling correspondent for the Spokane
Spokesman. In Mr.. Ballaine the Pa
louise country has friend, and we may
look for the interest of this section to be
duly represented in that paper. Here
tofore the Spokane papers have doomed
the Big Bend country as if that was the
section on which Spokane relied for
support. The result of this has been
detrimental to that city as well as to all
of eastern Washington. The intending
settler, naturally, came to the conclusion,
after examining the Big Bend country,
that if that was all the agricultural
support Spokane had, they did not care
to invest there, and also concluded that
if that section was the best that eastern
Washington could show, they would,
and did, look elsewhere for location.
No man ever examined the Palouse
country without fully realizing that it
had no equal, as an agricultural country,
anv where in America, and it emigrants
are to be induced to locate in our state
they must be shown the best we have
Every one that comes here adds to Spo-
kane's future, and the policy of that
CITY should be to send Immigrants down
the S. & P. road where they can see a
country that will please them, and by
this means keep them in eastern Wash
