from Mr. p. L. Sherman stating that the train

Arc Lights for the Streets.

The city council has decided to have
arc lights for the streets, instead of the
incandescent lights as was at first ex-
pected, and Mckenzie & Baird have Or
dered the necessary machinery to make
the change. This is proper move, for
the incandescent system for street light
ing is a poor substitute for lamp, and
where that system is in use the citizens
are required to carry lantern to find
the lights. The place for the incandes-
cent light is indoors, and Pullman is
too progressive to use them on her streets.
1t is proper to have the best light or go
in darkness, and with incandescent street
lights town is in a state of sem1-dark-
ness. In sixty days the arc lights will
be burning in Pullman.

Hose Company No. 1.

The short, sharp blasts from the mill
whistle last Wednesday evening, at five
O'Clock, gave warning that something
was wrong in the east part of town, and
a few seconds later, when the shriller
screams Of the fire whistle were added,
a hurrying crowd made for the mill,
where it was discovered that the North
ern Pacific pump-house, located few
rods east of the mill, was on fire. Water
was handy, and this aided by numerous
hand fre-extinguishers, soon put the
flames under control, with no serious
damage to the building.
Where was the fire company?
Nothing allied the company. When
the first alarm was given three or four
members made a dash for the hose-c cart,
and as soon as the door leading to it
could be unlocked, it was hauled to the
hydrant on Main street, near Schrader
q Burns wood shop, where connection
was made The fve-hundred feet of
hose reeled on the cart were stretched,
but would not reach the scene of action,
and a dray was sent for an additional
tive-hundred feet, which was found in an
lron-bound box in the council room.
When this was obtained, and the whole
of it connected it was found sufficient
to reach the building, and in just eight
cen minutes minutes from the time of
the first alarm the nozzle-men we're ready
to direct a stream on the building, but
as the fire was thing of the past this
action was unnecessary.
Eighteen minutes may seem like a
very long time for company to be in
getting a stream of water on a fire, but
considering the difficulties with which
they had to contend, it was doing very
well, and the call has served to place the
hose. etc, in a position where it can be
gotten at in a more expeditions manner
next time.

The Guy Dramatic Company.

The Guy Dramatic Company has de-
cided to give that beautiful drama,
Among the Breakers" in Reaney's hall
next Friday evening, January %. The
company has given the drama in Guy
with good success, and should be greet
ed with large audience on its appear
ance here. The principals in the play
are all from and in the vicinity of Guy
city, and are under the direction of
Messrs E. Rice and j. NJ Hagan. The
Pullman Dramatic Union put this play
on the boards year ago, but this will
only serve to awaken deeper interest
in it this time. Give the Guy company
a good audience and they will, no doubt,
reciprocate by giving the audience a
GOOD time.

For Dividing Whitman County.

The Palouse City scheme for the di-
vision of the county is to take strip
13 miles wide off the east side of the
county from north to south, and they
are opposed to any other scheme for di-
vision. They claim they do not want
division for the purpose OF eS5ting the
county seat at Palouse, but the facts
will not bear them out in this assertion.
Pullman is in favor of county division
on principle, and while no steps have
been taken by our people, yet when the
time comes, Pullman will be heard from.
The sentiment here favors a division so
as to give the north end chance for a
county of their own. They were the
first to move in the matter md in all
fairnesss they should have their wish.
They are SO situated that they cannot
conveniently go to Colfax, to 90 so they
have to travel long distance. We are
therefore in favor of an east and west
division on the north, the southern line
thereof to run one mile north of Gar
field until it reaches the range line Is
miles west Of the state line, thence south
one mile to the township line, and
thence west on the township line to the
west side of the county, and as many
townships off of Spokane county as the
people there may desire. A delegation
of the business men from Palouse City
T., D,,lI0,C,, III Ir1aiY ~
confer with our citizens on division
north and south, they advocating their
present lines. Our people stood on the
position that they would agree to no
scheme that would deprive the northern
people of getting their county. To
show that Pullman did not want division
for the purpose of getting a county seat,
it was offered, in writing, that if Palouse
City would agree to take as the northern
boundary of the second new county, the
southern boundary of what is known as
Steptoe county, namely, line one mile
north of Garfield, Pullman would 60 in
with them for division north and south,
and would agree to give Palouse City
the temporary county seat. The delega-
ton from Palouse was evidently satisfied
with the proposition and returned home
with the promise that we would hear
from them, up to date no wordshas been
received from them but on the contrary
we were informed by outside parties that
the Pullman proposition was refused
with scorn, and delegation immediate
ly went to Colfax from Palouse City to
make a combination with the Colfax
people to assist them in their scheme Of
division. Does this show that Palouse
wants division from principle? Does it
show that they w: di~;e 81 III
Colfax will favor the Palouse City
scheme and use it as a weapon to kill
division on the north, well knowing that
unless Pullman unites with Palouse
City, no division is possible. Pullman
made the offer mentioned in good faith,
and if Palouse City thinks she can run
the matter without our assistance she is
at liberty to do so, but when it may be
too late she will realize her mistake.
Division may come without Palouse get
ting even she honor of the temporary
county seat. Pullman has not as yet
asked for division, although she may be
forced to do so. In the mean time the
northern part has our sympathy for
division on the north.

The Graham Orchestra.

A mistake in dating the posters for
the dance of last Wednesday night was
the cause of the disappointment, and the
failure of the orchestra to appear on that
evening. The company came to Pull
man Thursday expecting to play for a
dance that evening, thinking that they
were billed for here at that time. and Mr..
Graham felt very bad to think the mis-
take had been made. The orchestra will
return to Pullman next Monday even
ing, however, and play for dance, and
everyone can come out at that time with
out fear of disappointment. The dance
will be in Reaney's hall

The Senatorial Situation.

Olympia, WASH, Jan. IA, 1891
Editor Pullman HERALD.
Nv Dear Sir: While l sit in the lobby of the
grand Olympia hotel surrounded by citizens
from all parts of the great state of Washington,
who are earnestly engaged in discussing the SEN
atorial fight and other matters of importance
which are to come before the legislature now in
session in this city, my thoughts are turned to
NV own dear old county of Whitman and her
loval citizens. and wonder that the matter of
the election of U. S. SENATOR which is of so
little importance to the people of Whitman and
many other counties of the state of Washington,
compared with other matters pertaining to our
interests. should so much engross the attention
and take up the time of the Legislature which is
costing the taxpayers of our state not less than
twelve hundred dollars per day.
| am more than ever convinced that the con-
stitution of the q. s. should be so amended as
TO provide for the election of U. S. senators by
the direct vote of the people.
The election of senator is the all absorbing
topic among members of thelegislature and pol
iticians who are here working in the interest of
either candidate.
OF course Senator Squire and Judge Calkins
are the only candidates who have declared war
and are making an open fight, yet dare say
that if a deadlock should occur by a vote for
these two candidates, dark horses" will be
entered for the race, several of whom are in
training and anxiously awaiting the opportune
moment. OF the last mentioned, John F.
Convey. Nelson Bennett and Judge Burke are
supposed to be in readiness to carry off the
cherished plum.
| The democratic members are taking things
easy, and are evidently getting mnch satisfac-
| ton out of the apparent evenly divided Squire
and Calkins forces. In fact it would seem al
present as though the democrats would be able
| to hold the balance of power, and be able to
name either Squires or Calkins for the champion
The Worlds Fair Association is in session
here and has been doing good work in the way
of perfecting the organization, and arranging
! plans for the great work to be accomplished il
! having Washington properly represented at the

and presented to the legislature, providing fo
