Record Of Happenings of q Week
in Pullman.
What People are Doing and how
They are Doing it.

The reports of big yields OF
wheat are numerous this season,
but probably the best yield report
ed is that of e. P. Thurston, who
lives few miles east of this city.
From one field of fifty acres of Red
Russian wheat Mr.. Thurston got
an average of 73 bushels, the wheat
being of excellent quality. The
threshing was done by the Shaw
outfit, and after the threshing was
completed the field was measured
with tape line, SO that the report
Is not guess work. Mr.. Thurston
markets his grain at Johnson.
-Tasor, the young son Of Hon.
w. /. LaFollstte, was considerably
bruised and shaken up at his faith
er's farm, a few miles from this
city, Thursday. He was riding the
hay fork used in unloading hay
from the wagon to the barn, when
the rope attached to the fork broke,
dropping the fork and the boy dis
tance of twenty five feet to the
ground. Tabor came out with only
one rib broken, very fortunate es-
cape under the circumstances.

The GOHuELL CUTOFF.
N. P. Right of Way Agent Obtains
Deeds.
Indications are for Building the
Pullman Conne11 Cutoff.

1t is evident that the Northern
Pacific must intimately build the
line of road from Pullman to Con-
nell, thus cutting off over 100 miles
of haul from the Palouse country to
tide water, and eliminating some
of the stee pest grades on the line.
This branch will prove OF immense
profit to the railroad, and as it is
profit the company is looking for,
the cutoff will certainly be con-
structed. The company has al
ready expended large sums on the
surveys, and interest in the work
has lately been renewed by the
activity of the company's agents in
the purchase of right of way. d. N
King, of Tacoma, right of way
agent for the Northern Pacific, hat
been in this vicinity for severa
weeks obtaining deeds to rights o.
