CHALYBEATE CITY.
Pullman, the Healthful, with It's Ele'
ments Of Prosperity.
The Location of the Agricultural College
was an Inspiration.

Walla Daily Statesman, visited
Pullman one day last week. That
he was impressed by the beautiful
city of flowing wells is made evil
dent by the article which appeared
in his paper last Friday, and which
we re-publish below:
There is no town in the state of
Washington better situated for bus
mess and with a more glorious fu-
ture before it than Pullman, in Whit
man comfy, the finest agricultural
country in the world, with adjacent
mountains clothed in the finest
timber and undeveloped mineral
resources with liberal and enter
prising citizens, its foundation is
laid on rock.
Many cities | could mention ten
times its age have not a quarter
the conveniences that Pullman has.
Two great railroads concentrate
there, and an immense business is
done. Buildings Of brick and stone
are being erected as rapidly as pos
sible, and fire limits being estab-
lished in the business portion it is
not probable the country will be
mortified by accounts Of its destruct-
ion by ''the devastating element. "
! A more pleasant and healthful
location for a city could not be
chosen, the business portion being
/ level and the residence on gently
sIoping hills. 1t reminds me of
the celebrated inland watering
health resort Of Bath in England,
and the terraced streets, when all
built upon, will render the likeness
still more apparent. And a great
advantage is the whole of the city
can be taken in from any point of
view
Like Bath and Cheltenham it's
waters are becoming famous all over
the land. In sinking for artesian
water tremendous flow came forth
combining all the chaly beate prin-
ciples that have made the above
cities so famous. This water is al
ready supplied tothe highest points
in the city, and the system of water
works provided by George Suther-
land, of Walla Walla, leaves no.
. thing to be desired. Large and ex-
tensive bottling works are already
in full blast, thirteen different kinds
of healthful drinks being manufac-
tured and shipped to all parts of the
= world. The natural water itself is
far better than even the famous APP
polonarls, and analysis by the great
chemists demonstrate that it con-
tains more health-giving properties
than it does.
In spite of the jealousy of rival
!, localities and their futile efforts to
steal the agricultural college from
Pullman it still remains, and is
making great progress and every
thing possible is being done to carry
out the ideas Of the last legislature
Of the state in its original integrity.
No better site could possibly have
been selected for availability, health
or convenience. 1t is easily aces
sible, easily reached from every di
rection and situated in the midst of
the garden spot of the state. The
citizens of Pullman are equal to the
occasion and have more friends be-
hind them to see justice done than
perhaps they are aware of.
Several important manufactures
are already a success and others
well underway, among them being
g furniture, sash and door factory.
L know OF no better place for man
OF enterprise and industry to cast
his lot in and grow up with than
Pullman at the present time. There
Is not vacant house in the town.
and residences are let and occupie d
as soon as erected. Town property
is reasonable in price for they have
had no boom, and the people sit
down upon all attempts to create
one. The town is progressing fast
enough to satisfy everyone, and
boopa results only in creating arti
fetal issues that ultimately react
to the detriment of any place and
leaves impressions behind it is very
hard to counterfeit.
According to an old axiom that
success depends more upon the peo
pie than upon country Pullman
must necessarily prosper for they
have an energetic class of citizens
here that would make paradise of
a sage brush desert. They are not
willing to let its prolific surround
lngs do all its work, but take their
coats off and pitch in themselves"
