WHY THE NEWS WAS
SUPPRESSED.

New York Sum
1t was Southern town, and while
not overgrown. there seemed to be
plenty of activity. Happening to pick
up copy of one OF the two we ekIies
published there, and finding nothing
in the shape OF .2i.sms' in the local
columns. l was led to wonder what sort
o. newspaper men the editors was.
Meeting one OF them the anne day l
asked:
Doesn't anything ever happen
here?"
There must be run-a-wyas, rows, !,

"Ana are you too lazy or too short

Tho most persistent croakers about hard

Justice Stiles Visit.

Judge Theodore L. Stiles, of the state
supreme court, was in Pullman last Sat
urdaY. He dropped into the city Fri
day evening without warning. and Sat
urdav morning asked to be shown the
town. This was done, and he spent
some time in looking over the agricul-
tural college site, and in examining the
artesian wells. He found much to in
terest him ID the city of flowing wells,
and Pullman, as wheat market was a
revelation to him. At ten o'clock he left,
via Colfax, for Spokane.
Mr. Stiles said that the object OF his
visit was to look over Whitman county.
of which he had heard SO much, and he
seemed greatly pleased with the whole
country in general, and Pullman in
particular.
A HERALD representative was in con-
versation with the judge during the ride
from Pullman to Colfax, and during the
talk it was learned that the college case,
which was appealed from Pierce county,
would, if allowed to take its course, come
up in the latter part of the session, but
that the attorneys for the regents could
possibly make 1t second or third in the
list if they should take action to that
end. Mr.. Stiles left Colfax for home at
three o'clock Saturday.

Whitman Railroad Notes.

| 1t is probable that Rosalia will be on
the main line of the Northern Pacific in
the near future. Not that the town will
be moved, but when the Missoula cut
off is completed over 100 miles can be
saved by striking the Palouse branch
near Pullman and then running up to
Spokane. A glance at the map will
show how this can be done.-Rustler.
I Our passenger train was taken eff
Sunday night and we are now served
with stub train to Pullman. The n.
L. officials make hay when the sun shines
and hope they will have a better thing
OF 1t running to Juliaetta, on a side hill
than on to Genesee. When jim Hill
gets here with his Great Northern the
n. P.'s name will be Dennis.-Union-
town Journal.
The new train service recently put on
the Spokane & Palouse is a source of
much annoyance and inconvenience to
all citizens of this section. The mixed
train put on at Pullman delays all travel
to and from towns on the Genesee branch
two hours or more on every trip. Pass
engers miss connections and mails are
delayed and hindered by the change.
A vigorous kick is heard on all sides.
A rapid growing country certainly de-
mands better railroad facilities, no worse.
1t is hoped that the road will inaugerate
a change at once.-Lewiston Teller.
Last Tuesday we were treated verv
suddenly to very unwelcome change
of train service. Done, so to speak. sin
the twinkling Of an eve" There was
no warning given, officially, the first
thing the citizens knew was the appear
ance of "bcb-tail jerk water" coming
up to the station with passenger coach,
mail and baggage-car and caboose at
tached. There is no definite under
standing whether this tram makes con-
nection with the Spokane train at Pull
man or not. The only resource is to
get on the ''jerk-water," go to Pullman
and find out. Since the change this
town, Cotton, Uniontown and Genesee
citizens do not get their mails unit
away into the night, and consequently
it throws them back day in their bus
mess correspondence. The ''ierk-water''
is never on time from Pullman. There
is a righteous howl of dissatisfaction go
ing up from Cotton and Uniontown over
this ill-treatment, and steps are being
taken, we understand, to induce and
assist the Union Pacific to at once com
plete It's proposed branch through Union
Flat from Colfax to Lewiston, bv wav Of
Genesee and Steptoe canyon The right
of way is already secured for a good
part of the distance and the route is an
extremely easy and feasible one. Pull
man and Moscow NAV buy off regular
trains from the Palouse main line to run
on Moscow branches, but the purchase
of the main line service from Genesee
will be to their financial sorrow. If
money can build a Colfax-L Lewiston road
it will be running inside of year. The
citizens in this section of the Palouse
are not to be humbugged by railroad
corporations with 'jerk-water'' trains
running to suit the changes of the wind
and the fancies of citizens on other
hnes.-New State News.

Miss Hungate's Party.

Miss Maud Hungate was the recipient
Of very pleasant party at her home
two miles south Of town, last Friday
evening, her friends remembering that
Saturday was the twenty-frst anniver-
sary of her birth. The Palace Hotel
bus was chartered, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Oimsted, the Misses Moody, Ringer,
Allen and Watson, and Messrs. Richard
son, Harvey, Allen and Windus we're
conveyed to the Hungate residence
therein, and all of Friday evening, and
until Saturday, Miss Hungate's birth
day, was ushered in; the house was
made to resound with the merriment of
the company, and when the party broke
up it was with wishes of "many happy
returns of the day" for the charming
young hostess.

State Board of Equalization.

The state board of equalization, con-
sisting Of Auditor Reed, Secretary Weir
and Land Commissioner Forrest, con-
vened yesterday morning, says the
Olympia Olympian. The task of equal
lzlng the assessments of the various
counties promises to be more than ordi-
narily difficult, and is certain to consume
the entire session of 90 days allowed by
law. The board will meet daily at 10 a.
M, and each day the roll of the counties
will be called for complaints. Dates will
be fixed for hearing representatives of
counties and particular interests.
Auditor Reed is chairman of the board
and Secretary Weir, secretary. W. G.
johnson was chosen clerk and stenog-
rapher.
At yesterdays call of the roll, many
gentlemen were present from various
parts of the state. Grievances of several
counties were stated to the board. Spo-
kane asked for % per cent. reduction
on all but its railroad assessment; King
applied for 20 per cent. reduction Of
its real estate valuation; COwlitz wanted
25 per cent. reduction; Lincoln applied
for reduction. Several counties have
officers here for the purpose of compar-
ing their assessments with others, so as
to ascertain if inequalities exist, and to
make complaints if thew find that other
counties have any advantage in the re-
turns made.
Whitman county has assessed its rail
way roadbeds at $4,000 per mile, which
is higher than any octher ounty's vaIua-
ton, and it has sent commissioner here
to see that the assessment is not reduced.
On the other hand, the Northern Pacific
company had delegation here yester-
day, headed by Tax Commissioner Fer
nald, of st. Paul, whoee object is to Sc
cure a reduction of it's assessment in all
counties in which it has mileage. The
company will ask to have it's roadbed
assessed at from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile,
to conform to assessments made in other
states through which it's lines run. 1t
is claimed that unless a reduction is
made as asked, the question as to the
power OF the state to tax the Northern
Pacific roadbed uRder its charter, will
be carried into the courts. Wednesday,
October 7, has been set apart for hearing
arguments as to railroad valuation.
The banking interests Of the state Will
be heard on Monday, October 8. King
county will have special hearing on
Friday.
The state assessment table is now
complete, the last returns having been
received yesterday. The real estate and
railroad track assessment is 1904, ,571,-
895; personal, S52,215, ,764; total, 1885,
1874
The following figures taken from the
personal property returns exhibit wide
difference in values: The number Of
horses, mules and asses range from $50
in Skamania to 81, ,271 in Whitman, with
an average value running from $12.78 in

Why They Trade in Pullman.

A Colfax dealer IN general merchan-
disc sent out a circular last week CIV
ing prices of goods, which prices it was
claimed were fully 45 or 30 per cent.
under their regular prices.
- No wonder the farmers trade in Pull
man.
The prices of the leaders given in the
circular are not one cent lower than the
regular prices of the Pullman merchants.
This fact was learned by visit to sew
eral stores in town. You can trade
cheaper in Pullman than in any other
point in the Palouse country.

Committee,

CoLFAx, Sept. 30, 1S91.-(Special
Correspondence. Senator Charles
Faulkner, of West Virginia, spoke Fri
day evening to an audience of about
$50. The stress of his speech was laid
upon the tariff issue and was devoted
almost entirely to showing how injurious
to the farmer the protective policy was.
But the meeting was not an enthusiastic
one and of course democrats were disap-
pointed, as they had expected to have a
rallving time The address lasted two
and half hours.
An entire new lot of pavements have
been constructed during the week, in
stead of the rickety things that served
for walks almost since the town was or
ganized. The entire city is receiving a
general retouchlng, and with the several
brick blocks erected during the summer,
it begins to look metropolitan.
Joseph Hardisty, pioneer of the Pa
louise country, died Saturday. He came
to Washington thirty years ago and
settled on his farm eight miles south
west of Colfax in 1869.
In the Superior Court Wednesday,
Judge Sullivan rendered Judgment for
$785 against Tuttle & Robie, of Cakes
