While the city council are getting a
move on in the way OF spending money,
why do they not take some action in re-
gard to improving our h9rbor? There is
where We could get more than value re-
ceived for every dollar expended. They
are empowered to levy, in addition to
other taxes, ten cents on each one humid
red dollars of the assessed value OF all
real and personal property within the
city, the money to be expended in harboI
Improvements within the city limits or
within a two mile limit outside. This
levy would raise, with the present assess
ment: 5000 annually, which, with pri
vate enterprise, could set on foot work
that would be OF inestimable value.

EDITOR HERALD: Isn't it time the
city council were making haste little
slower in the matte of running the city
in o debt? they have rushed at every
possible means of spending money, like
bull at ihe red rag, and now they pro-
pose "blowins in" five THOUSAND dollars
on a wooden nondescript building, that is
called, by courtesy, city hall. without a
thought, apparently, of the matter as a
business move i'll the present condition
OF our finances.
On the 3lst OF March we had warrants
outstanding, and drawing ten per cent
interest, 33,32S.97. and have issued
since, up to the I'd inst, S9,662.43 addi-
tlonal warrants. On the same date,
March 81, the cash in the hands of the
city treasurer vas $1S9-.lJ, and he has
received to the I'd inst, 81, 62S. 50; so that
on the I'd of this mont. there were $43,-
4706l worth of warrants outstanding,
drawing ten per cent interest. If we put

much more out at ten per cent interest,
and will also mean that our warrants
will be all the longer reaching par, and
that the laborer will have to take, at The
present rate of discount, SO cents for
each dollar, or else only do 80 Cents
worth of work when the city should be
getting one dollars worth, or to sum up:
Five thousand dollars al ten per cent

Col. John G. Lee, a for mer army officer
and a resident of Philad elphia, WAS found
dead yesterday morning in his room at the
Hoffman House, where he had been staying
for the past FIVE mouths.
Col. Lee was born in Paris, France, in July,
1857. His father was Lieut.. THEODORE Lee
of the United States Navy, and q second cou-
sin of Gen. Robert Il. Lee, while his mother
(now Mrs. &. S. MoultOn of PariSl bears the
same relation to the late Gen. George B Mo
Clellan. He was also a nephew of Horace
b.. Fry of this CITY. He studied medicine
and was also graduated from II military school
in Europe. He was over 6 feet in height,
of handsome and commanding presence, and
q most delightful cOnversationalist. He was
also an accomplished linguist, being able to
read and speak several languages Auently.
He contributed interesting letters of travel to
Philadelphia newspapers, and at the time Of
his death was engaged in editing his diary of
travel in Asia, Of which he kept a careful re.
cord.
About four years ago Secretary Bayard ten.
dered him the appointment of Secretary of Le-
cation to Turkey, which he declined in order
to accept the more active post of Military In.
%structor in the army of the King of Korea.
He went to that country over three years ago
and returned to this in June last. Since then
he has resided at the Hoffman House, where
many friends testify to his charming narra-
ton of his travels. 1t was his intention to
make this CITY permanently his home. When
he was only :wenty-two years old he was APP
pointed COroner's Physician in the City of
Philadelphia, aud afterward published his
experience in that Office, thereby throwing
light on many subjects connected with the
duties of the Coroner. He also edited the laws
of the different States defining and governing
the duties of Coroners, and affixed to the title
page Of the book the quotation, " Is this law?

Lee was never married.
He was last seen alive in the hotel corridor,
and was then apparently in his usual health
and spirits. Yesterday the door of his room
was found locked and fastened. When it was
forced open Col. Lee was found dead in bed.
From the appearance of the body it was evil
dent that he had died ON Monday night.
Death was evidently due to cerebral apoplexy.

To Celebrate July 4th.

Every business man in Pullman is of
the belief that the town should have an
immense celebration on the 4th of July,
which is not many weeks away now.
The town has had much to rejoice
over during the past year. July 4th
1890, the work of rebuilding the city
was commenced, and from chat day on
nothing but victory has crowned the
efforts of the citizens in everything
undertaken.
Pullman will celebrate, and it will be
celebration that has never been
equalled in Eastern Washington, and
it is now time to commence the arrange
ments.
The HERALD would seggest that a
meeting be called and committees ap-
pointed at once
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1891-05-02

To the bustling, thriving, energetic town of
Pullman, the citizens of Oaksdale extend COR
gratulations, and unite with them in rejoicing
over the victory of Whitman county in general
and that town in particular, in securing the re-
port of the committee in their favor for the loca-
rien of the Agricultural college and school of
science. If true merit was the standard upon
which this location was made, the selection,
though a surprise has been wisely made. Pull
man possesses advantages superior to that of
any other place. save and except Oaksdale, and
succeeded in securing the attention of the COM
mission, while Oakesdale did not, and this in a
manner, accounts for the locating of the college
at the artesian city. 1t is a well established
theory that, that which benefits one part of the
body polite, has, at least, reflective beneficial
influence of the whole body, and this applies to
this question well.-Sun.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1891-05-02

The selection of Pullman for the site of the
agricultural college reflects great credit on the
good judgment and impartiahty of the commits
sioners. The choice was made more promptly
than was expected, and Pullman itself was hard
ly prepared to believe the good news when it
came. There had existed an impression that the
commission would first select county, and then
give few days to considering the advantages
offered by the different towns 1t is just as well,
perhaps, that the other policy was adopted, for
the engendering of strife and jealousy between
rival towns was avoided.
Pullman is an ideal town for school of agri-
culture and science. No fault can be found
with its railroad facilities for it is on branch
lines of both the Union and Northern Pacific
Tie richest soil in the world keeps the earth in
almost perpetual verdure around it, and within
stones throw of the college there viii be acres
of grain of unsurpassed yield and quality.
Within few hours journey the students will
find opportunity to get practical lessons in min
