are already building new school houses.
and the city of flowing wells " will soon
be in the ranks. The plans will be per-
fected during the coming week, and
everything got in ;eadiness for the i'm
mediate construction of the building.
Messrs. Harvey and W. J. Windus
have visited Spokane, Medical Lake, and
other towns this week, inspecting the
different styles of school buildings, and
by careful study of the advantages of
each will be able to make suggestions
that viii make it possible for the Pull

demands it.
H. G. Ashenfelter the gentleman
who has the contract for building the
new schoolhouse was in the city this
week, and completed all arrangements
to begin work as soon as material can
be placed on the ground. The matter
Of bonds was arranged to the entire sat
isfaction of the board of directors. The
irregularity being simply the signing of
firm names as surities when individual
names are required by law. This was
easily adjusted and everything is now
satisfactory.
There are many reasons why you
should celebrate in Pullman. There are
more attractions here than will be found
in any other town in Eastern Washing
ton. There is the agricultural oQllege;
the only artesian wells in the state; the
only chalybeate artesian water swim
ming baths in the United States. All
these and many more will make it pos
sible to pass delightful day in Pull
man.
F. D. and Len G. Richardson are
having lumber hauled to the lot near the
school house, where they will erect
handsome $4,000 house for their mother
who, with her daughter, will remove to
Pullman from st. Louis, No, about the
middle of July.
"A free bus will be run to the col
lege site all day on the Fourth, that
visitors from outside towns may have a
close inspection of the best place for the
college in the state The view of the
town from the college grounds is also
fine.
The next meeting of the Pullman
Building & Loan association will be held
on the first Tuesday of July, at which
time officers will be elected, and the year
ly expense fees collected. The meeting
will be held at the usual hour.
1t is thought that the fremen will
be obliged to give up the dance which
they had planned for the Fourth on ac-
count of being unable to engage hall.
Owing to some trouble Reaney's hall
cannot be hired.
The rains continue to fall, and the
crop prospect grows apace. Wheat, and
especially that sown last fall, is looking
the best, and giving promise of the larg
est yield ever known even in the Palouse.
Al ReaneY has the plans for his
new house ready. The building is to be
fine one, which will prove an ornament
among the many nice ones already in
Reaney's addition.
Nearly every town in the Palouse
country will celebrate the Fourth, but
PulIman's celebration will be better
than all.
/ Mcconnell, Chambers & Co. have
just put handsome new truck on the
road. They will now haul their own
freight.
