Never before were the people of
Pullman so aroused as they are today
over the attempt of the city council to
thwart the right of the majority to
rule, and denunciation of the act is
heard on every hand, and from men
who had not before interested them
selves in the problem of city govern
ment. Men resent being corralled
like cattle, and branded as belonging
to political boss or bosses, and none
but political shysters in the throes of
a fast approaching demise would have
attempted so desperate game.

The Palouse harvest is now practi-
cally at an end, only few small crops
here and there remaining to be
threshed, and nearly all the threshers
have pulled in for the season. While
the fall was an exceptionally wet one,
and greatly hampered harvesting ope-
rations, the damage to the crop was
not great. and the rising prices make
the crop a rich one for the country.
Added to this, the'yield of fruits anc
vegetables of all kinds could hardly be
better, even in so favored a country
as this, and ready market is nov
found for every variety of produce.
