A Year to be Proud of.

Pullman has no complaints to
offer over the treatment accorded
her and her citizens by the departed
1904, 1t has been a year of pros
perity and of great material advance
ment, and everywhere the hand Of
progress has left its mark.
Two modern brick business blocks
have been completed during the
year, third enlarged and made in
to a two-story structure and the
foundation laid for a fourth.
A SI2, 900 church edihce has been
carried we'll along towards compile
ton, and not less than 800, 900 ex-
pended in new residences, some fifty
having been erected or being now
in progress of erection.
In the way of municipal improve
ment, we have the completed sewer
system, the many additions to the
water system and the mile or so of
new sidewalk.
Our people have during the
twelve-month, come into possession
OF two magnificent city parks, the
one of about IS acres of natural
grove, through popular subscrip-
ton and donation, the other,
| Reaney's park, Of two blocks in the
heart of the city, covered with a
planted grove, by purchase author
, lied by.yotc of the citizens.
: The property owners have vie,
with one another in the improve
ment of residence property, anc
with thousands of square yards OF
fresh paint, new fences, we'll grassed
lawns and growing trees, the spirit
of the times has been manifest.
Neither calamity nor disaster has
visited us as people, and the new
year is entered upon with the inn
petus and enthusiasm gained
through departing year of profit
and progress.
Here's to 1905: may the realiza-
ton prove as brilliant as the pros
pect.

NUMBER 15
The Growth of a City.

The Colfax Gazette quite prop
erly announces that the receipts of
the post office are always a good
indication of the run Of city's
business, and then quotes figures
that show that the county seat post
office has increased its receipts dur
ing the year by $425, 90, the 1903
figures being SIo,52 %, and the
1904, $Io,o53.o3. the increase being
about four per cent.
For the four quarters of 1908 the
receipts of the Pullman post office
were SI69S.65; S1559.96; $I52r.35
$2o35.oo. Total, $6SI5.o7. In
1904 the figures were $2Iro 90;
$I749.S5; $r665,64; $2346.96.
Total, $78S2.35. The increase of
1904 over the previous year was
thus $1o67. .2S, or per cent increase
of about 16.
Thus taking the post Office
figures as an index of the progress
of the city, Pullman has outstrip-
ped Colfax four to one.
Another interesting comparison
is this: To do business of $Ioo5o.-
90 at Cofax, Uncle Sam spent in
rents, salaries, ETC., $Io,698, leav-
ing the government net profit of
but $262.o3. At Pullman, to do a
business of S7882. IS, the expenses
of the government were $5o25,
leaving net profit of $2857.35 to
Uncle Sans credit.

WHY WOMEN ARE PRETTY.

According to an English special
ist who has made careful study cf
the subject. the reason why women
are better looking than men is be-
cause they are more indolent and
are not called upon to use their
brains as much as men are. Hard
intellectual work and assiduous at
lention to business, he says, are
harmful so far as physical beauty
is concerned. As proof that his
theory is correct he points to the
Zaros, whose home is in British
India. Among them women hold
the place which in other countries
is occupied by men, The FARO wo-
man manages the affairs of state,
goes into business on her own ac-
count and does not wait for a pro.
posal of marriage. bat proposes her
self, whereas the FARO man has
nothing to do but cook the meals
and look after his children. The
natural result, says the scientist, is
that the men of this singular tribe
are very pretty and the women are
usually plain.
