The announcement by the county
assessor of the population of the var
ious cities and towns of the county has
caused a good deal of surprise in some
localities, and especially in the county
seat itself. Colfax hardly realized that
Pullman was so near to robbing it of
its claim as the metropolis of Whit
man county. From both Colfax and
Palouse comes wall as they realize
how far and how fast Pullman is out
stripping them in the race for popula-
ton, and they raise the claim that
1.-THE college is responsible for it. -
The college is, it is true, responsible
in very large measure for the great
growth the city is making, but not in
the way that Colfax and Palouse
charge. The college itself is located
outside the city limits. Both dorm
itories, housing their hundreds of
young, men and young women, are
outside the city limits. These young
people were, therefore, not counted in
making up Pullman's population of
1884. Had this dormitory population
been counted Pullman would now be
in first place by a good, strong lead,
and we would probably be just as much
entitled to count them as Colafx is to
count the county officials who are
there temporarily. If Colfax and
Palouse will take day off and come
to Pullman to witness the building
operations that are being carried on,
the dozens of new and handsome
homes being constructed, they will nc
longer doubt that Pullman is the COM
ing city of the Palouse.

WATER.

Never has there been such strong
possibility of the Northern Pacific
building line from Lewiston or from
some point on its Clearwater branch to
Grangeville, as now that the indie
pendent electric line is practically as
sured. The past couple weeks have
seen exciting times in and about Lew
iston.
The six miles leading from Lewiston
to Tammany and up the gulch are re-
garded as the key to the situation
The Northern Pacific secured a right
of way through there about seven
years ago, and did little work on
the grade, but since then has done
nothing and its right of way was con-
sidered abandoned and much of it
taken up by the Lewiston & Southern
Electric Railway Company.
A couple of weeks ago several par
ties of Northern Pacific surveyors
were rushed to various strategic points
in the Clearwater country, one party
becoming especially alive along this
abandoned right of way, indicating that
the Northen Pacific intended to fight
for this right, with the purpose, either
themselves, of building or of blocking
the proposed electric line, for which
$500, 900 has been raised in Lewiston
and vicinity, and the constructing OF
which has been assured by an Englisf
financing syndicate.
The electric line people countered b!
putting a force of men at work on ;

glass became general in private houses
