POPULATION ESTIMATE.

The state of Washington has a pop
ulation of 874, 80, according to the es-
Inmates of the statistical department
of the secretary of states Office. In
1900 the state had a population of 519,
1O3 a gain of 356, 436 in five years.
The estimates were based largely upon
the school census, although other mat
ters were taken into consideration.
The number of school children as
shown by the school census of 1900
was compared with the population as
shown by the federal census to obtain
the proper multiple for determining
the present population from the years s
school census.
The estimates, which cover the pop
ulation of all counties and cities in
the state, were prepared for the edi-
tion of Is, 900 volumes of the statistical
work now ready for distribution.

CITY DIVIDED y
INTO WARDS
Council Passes Ordinance Cutting the City
Into Three Wards.

Hereafter, instead of being resi-
dent of North Pullman precinct or
South Pullman precinct, as the case
may be, you will register as from the
first, second or third ward, according
to the part of the town in which you
put in your nights.
The long threatened warding of the
city was accomplished by he city coun-
Gil Thursday evening, when the ordi-
nance establishing the ward boundaries
was introduced, read first, second and
third times, and Immediately placed
on final passage, becoming law by
the votes of Councilmen Henry, White,
Hubbard and Baker.
Mayor Staley and Councilman Dix
on were absent from the meeting, and
Councilman Priest was called to the
chair of the presiding officer. A
couple of sidewalk petitions were re-
ferred to the proper committees, num-
erous bills allowed, and minor matters
disposed of, the warding ordinance
was read for the first time.
The ordinance provided for the
creating of three wards, ward No. l
to be all that part of the city south
of the o. R. & N. track and east of
Grand street; ward No. 2, that portion
lying west of Grand street and south
of the o. R. & N. track, and west of
Star Route street mad north of the o
R. & N-~track; ward No. 8, the bal
ance of the city, bounded on the west
by Star Route street, and on the south
by o. r. & N. track.
This division throws the main busi-
ness district of the town, with Metho-
dist hill to the first ward, giving to
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1905-08-19


the second those business houses on the
west side of Grand street.
The third ward is composed wholly
of residences. Star Route, the divid-
ing street, being the one upon which
the Christian and Methodist churches
are located, the east side of the street,
with the two churches named being in
No. 3, while the west side with the
residences of E. S. Burgan, Pres.
Brayn, Prof. Waller, N. E. J. Gent
ry and others, are in the second.
Without discussion as to the merits
of this division, the ordinance was
ordered placed at once on final pas
sage, Councilman Carpenter, protest
ing that he had been given no oppor-
tunity to investigate the proposed
warding or the justice of the lines as
given in the ordinance. After the
explanation that the ordinance had
been drafted under the watchful eye
of the mayor, it was passed by the
votes of Councilmen Henry, White,
Hubbard and Baker, Councilman Car
penter declining to vote.
Immediately following the passage
of this ordinance, a second one, provid-
ing for the election of two councilmen
from each ward, and one councilman
at large, was passed. At each annual
fall election a councilman is to be
elected from each ward for the tern
u Two years, the councilman at large
to serve for one year. This will not
interfere with the tenure of office OF
the present councilmen, however, as
Councilman White is the holdover
from ward l; Councilman Henry from
ward 2, and Councilman Carpenter
from ward 3.

The little steamer, Mountain Gem,
was put on the Snake river Saturday
by the 0. R. & N. Co., and has since
been running from Riparia to the or
chards at Wawawai and Almota, thus
relieving the congestion of fruit at
those points. The steamer draws but
eighteen inches of water, and while
she can not load heavily at the present
stage of the water, will probably be
able to carry down all the fruit. She
is now taking down about two carloads
each other day from the LaFollette or
chards, as well as quantities from the
other growers.
The Y. w. c. A. of this city will
be represented at the convention at
Seaside, Ore, September 5th to 18th,
by Misses Anna Talyor, Gertie Mae
Kay, Elma McCann, Elma Spaulding,
Lora Green and Stella Wilson. The
young ladies will also take in the
Lewis and Clark fair while away.
Monday there came break in the
hot weather, and light showers fell
Wednesday night. Not enough rain
fell to materially interfere with the
harvesting operations, but the air was
greatly refreshed A few hours rain
fall, to settle the dust, would make
the harvest field more tolerable.

good condition. Flax is ripe and is
being cut.
The weather is all that could be de-
sired for the harvesting of grain.
Winter wheat cutting is nearly COM
pleted and considerable threshing has
been done, with very good yields both
in quantity and quality. The cutting
of spring wheat is we'll along; prob
ably three-fourths done, except in late
localities, in some of which it will
linger until the end of the month.
From present appearances the yield
will be medium one, of excellent
quality, the falling off from the early
expectations of an unusually large
yield being due to the injury from hot
winds, which in some districts was con-
siderable. In other districts, how
ever, there was little or no injury, and
in such cases the yield will be heavy.
The warm weather ripened oats rap
idly. Cutting is we'll along, except on
the lowlands of Skagit county, where
it has only fairly begun. The crop
promises to be a very good one, al
though not unusually heavy.
PALOUSE COUNTRY. - Colfax-
Harvesting and threshing are well
under way. The yield is short one
fourth but will grade high. The fruit
crop is short from one-half to three
fourths and is of inferior quality be-
cause of long continued heat and
drought. Rosalia--Fully four -ffths
of the crop is cut. Threshing is in
full progress. The yield is about the
same as last year. The continuous
hot weather is injurious to gardens and
sugar beets. Tekoa-Fall wheat is all
cut. The quality of wheat and oats is
good; the yields are medium.

MYERS BROTHERS
SEPARATOR BURNS
Roy Myers Badly Burned In Sepa-
rator Fire Caused by Smut
49,, and Dust.

Roy Myers, who was severely
burned about the face and hands
through the explosion of separator
at Endicott few days ago, has re-
turned to Pullman and is fast recover
ing from the effects of the accident.
Myers Bros. machine was making
the season in the Endicott country, and
r oy was standing on top of the sep
arator when the explosion, induced
probably by the accumulated dust and
smut, occurred, wrecking the machine
and burning him badly in the sheet of
flame that enveloped him.
The separator was a total loss,
though fairly we'll insured.

IMPORTANT LAND
CASE SETTLED
Pullman Attorney Wins Hard
Fought and Important Case
for His Client.

Thomas Neill, attorney for Jacob
Slaght, of Palouse, has received notice
from the Supreme Court of this state
that the judgment of the Superior
Court in favor of Slaght has been
affirmed. This is another victory for
Mr.. Slaght in his long fight with the
railroads in defending his home. Com
mencing in 1887 with contest in the
land department of the United States
to the present time, the question of
title to his land has been in the courts,
and in every case, and in al! stages of
the different cases, Slaght has been
successful.
The railroad company claimed the
land as lien land, and after the land
department had decided against them,
it then commenced suit in the state
courts alleging that the land department
had committed an error in law in de-
Gliding that Slaght had the right to make
proof on the land. This case went
through the state court and to the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
After the latter court had decided in
favor of Slaght he then commenced a
suit to eject the railroad company from
the land, unless they commenced pro-
ceedings to condemn for right of way
purposes within a reasonable time.
Many interesting and intricate ques-
tions of law were raised by the com
pany against Slaght's right to main
tain the action. Judge Miller, of
Dayton, tried the case in the Superior
Court, and had at one time announced
his intention to decide the case against
Slaght, but at the earnest solicitation
of Attorney Neill he granted rear
gument which resulted in his giving
judgment for Slaght, requiring the
company to either commence condem-
nation proceedings within 80 days or
vacate all that portion of the right of
way claimed by the railroad company
across the land, except a strip 25 feet
wide for it's main track and 100 feet
square for its depot This is the
judgment which the Supreme Court
has affirmed.
The land involved is part of the
townsite of Palouse and is very valu-
able. A number of large warehouses
are located on the ground awarded
Slaght, and in condemnation proceed
ings these warehouses will be consid-
cred part of the property to be taken,
and will have to be paid for at their
full value.
The case, however, can be taken to
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and if the railroad company
appeals it may be several years more
before the case is finally determined.

Andrew Clyde, who ran a saw mill
in Pullman in the early days of the
town, is reported as having been muir
dered in Mexico recently The Palouse
Republic tells the following story of
the crime: "Clyde had been mining
in Mexico for some years and had $500
in gold dust on his person when he
was murdered, which makes it plain
that robbery was the object. The de-
tails of the tragedy received here are
meager, the only news coming through
letter received by Mrs. Frank L.
Moore, of Moscow, a sister of the
murdered man. Clyde had started
out from camp on burro to the near
est settlement of any size, consider
able distance away. A few days lat
er his burro was found running loose
and a search was made for the man.
The search resulted in finding the body
with head entirely severed and the
money and everything else of any value
which he carried, missing. The dis
trict where the murder occurred is a
wild one and such occurrences are not
infrequent. 1t is practically impos-
sible to trace the perpetrators of the
crime. "
j. J. VanBruggen bought a new
single driver a few days ago, and
Thursday drove a few miles into the
country to exercise his new acquisi-
ton. All went we'll till the horse
concluded to get along without driv-
err, and taking the bits between his
teeth, started out to make mile in
two minutes. He soon ran up against
a hill side, throwing Van from the We
hicle with disastrous results, as he
landed on his head, putting his think
err out of business for a while. Time
and liberal applications of arnica will
make Van a new man again, but the
buggy will have to be gathered up in a
gunny sack.

Another dry and warm week has
been added to the long period of
drought that has continued practically
unbroken for thirty days. In the
western counties the weather was only
moderately warm, but in the eastern
counties the week was hot throughout.
The warm weather was beneficial to
corn, tomatoes, melons and hops. Corn
has seldom done so we'll as it has this
season, particularly sweet corn in the
western counties. Hops have made
very satisfactory development; the
burrs are now of fair size and growing
we'll. The insect petss are under con-
troll. Melons are being shipped in
great quantity and of excellent quality
from the Yakima country. Early po-
tatoes have done well, but the dry
weather is having bad effect on the
late crop. Root crops, especially
beets, are doing we'll. Gardens are
suffering from lack of moisture and
apples and prunes are dropping quite
badly from the effects of the heat.
Pastures, particularly on uplands,
are becoming very short and dry. A
second crop of clover has been cut in
the western districts, and secured in
