The building of half mile of road
under the supervision of experts from
the U. S. department of agriculture
will soon be commenced, the road fin
ally selected being that stretch lying
near the Northern Pacific "Y" east of
town. 1t was first intended to do the
work on the read from the city north
to the Kitzmiller place, but as this
would be a new road bed, with all the
grading yet to do, the engineers
thought it would be unwise to put the
maeadam on it until it had had time to
settle. Commissioner Ruply states
that the Kitzmiller road will be grad
ed and the rock work done on it this

1t comes TO the Herald from an au-
thentic source that that municipal or
nament known as the city attorney
was actively engaged for number of
days in making overtures to one Dan
Griffith in an endeavor to get said
Griffith to leave the state. 1t was
presumed that Griffith would be dan
gerous man to have around when the
Burns case came to trial-that is. dan
gerous to Burns, a client of the citv
attorney, and of course the interests of
the man who has been charged with
violation of a city law are paramount
over the attorneys other client. the
city of Pullman, whose laws the attor-
ney is under oath to uphold, and who
collects his salary each month for such
presumed unfolding. How we can ex-

was vulnerable TO the demands of thu
people, the case at hand would warrant
the bringing of impeachment proceed.

AS a matter Of real convenience and
accommodation to the public, a union
depot, built just between the tracks of
the two lines of railway in this city,
if worthy of the consideration of the
Pull for Pullman club. 1t would also
be of immense value to the roads
themselves, and the Herald believes
an effort put forth right now would
