Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1902-08-16

The water works are owned by
the city; they are at this time build
ing new reservoir which will be
completed in a short time, and will
furnish gravity power strong enough
to put water over her largest build
ings. The water is supplied by an
artesian well, of which the city has
some II il operation.
The city is also we'll supplied with
all the different secret societies,
nearly all Of which are represented
here. The Odd Fellows own large
brick block, which is a credit not
only to the local lodge, but to the
city.
The city is also supplied with an
electric light plant, which is thor
oughly up-to-date in every respect.
There are in Pullman two news
papers. The Herald, which is the
pioneer paper, being established in
1888, and owned by the Allen
Brothers. The Ifibune, established
i'll 1891, and edited by Mrs. Minnie
Sargent,
Pullman is not destined to be-
come, but actually is now the rail
road center of the entire Palouse
country, having five direct. lines
leading from the city; and in addi-
ton to this there is no question but
that new railroad will be built this
coming year, the Northern Pacific
having purchased right-of-way for a
cutoff running from this city to
connect with the main line at Con-
nell, which will serve to greatly
shorten the distance to coast points,
and which will cause the grain of
the entire Palouse and Potlatch
countries to find tide water via.
Pullman.
We would say that there are
number of new industries needed,
among which we will mention: saw
mill, box factory, planning mill, iron
foundry, beet sugar factory, cold
storage plant, straw box factory,
nursery, fruit and vegetable can
merry and evaporator. This coun-
try has resources enough to main-
tain ten, yes one hundred times its
present population, and the oppor-
tunity was never greater for those
who wish to secure good farms, or
for those who wish good business
locations than the present The
people are practically out of debt.
The present prospect for crop and
fair prices is practically assured,
and farm land and city psoperty are
cheap. There has never been
time in the history of Washington
or Pullman when the opportunities
afforded capitalists for investments
were greater than at present. Pull
man is and always will be the rail
road and commercial center of this
great farming, fruit-growing and
stock-raising country. In this city
will be built the mills and the bus
mess Adjustments that will be re-
quired to supply the wants of this
great community; and now is the
accepted time. To those people
with capital, push and enterprise,
we say "Come!"
For any further information, as
to price of land, or any other adj
vantage offered you, you are invited
to correspond with Harvey & Welty,
prominent lawyers and real estate
men Of the city.
And to give final emphasis to the
grand truths concerning the import
ance of the trade, commerce and
manufacturing of Pullman, we now
ask the privilege of introducing to
all our readers the representative
establishments of the city, and III
SO doing we flatter ourselves that
more satisfactory method of leave
taking could not be conceived for
unquestionably there must be a
strong desire on the part of those
into whose hands these papers fall
to become more thoroughly familiar
with the individual character Of
community that evinfes such aspir-
it of modern progressiveness, ana
courageously pushes aside every Cd
stacle that dares to obstruct tue
fruition of its ambition to become
