A magnificent new house of wor-

improvement assured to Pullman. COM
mittees from the local church now
being hard at work making the ar
rangements preliminary to building.
The new structure, which will cost
above SIS, 900, will be constructed of
stone and brick, and will be one of the
most commodious in the Inland En-,
pire. The site has not been definitely
decided upon as yet, although present
chances are that the old building will
be torn down to make room for it.
Several sites near the business center
of town have been discussed, and the
corner of Alder and Paradise streets,
now occupied by Drinkwater's black
smith shop, meets with much favor,
and may be the one finally decided
upon. 1t is proposed to make a free
library and reading room on the
ground floor or basement, in which
case it would be essential that it be as
near the business center as possible.
The committee having the financing
of the new church in charge is COM
posed of Prof. Fulmer, E. s. Burgan,
G. W. Reed, S. C. Roberts. Mrs. r.
W. Thatcher and Mrs. G. F. johnson.

A committee on decorating and fur

after the interior furnishings and deco
rations once the building is erected.
The definite location of the building
will be decided within a few days, and
it is expected that active work can
be commenced within a month.

Seven heavily laden coaches drawn

Walla Walla Union, with the Pull

ed to stand the company will be forced

value of the OILY for every carload car
ried over the Alton Road during two
years at an open 6 cent rate-a rate
used over three competing railroads for
from ten to fourteen years! The trial
judge refused to allow proof that the 6
cent rate had been filed by the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois, and was, therefore,
a illegal rate" He refused to allow
proof that linseed oil, for instance, was
carried at cents, and other bulk CON-
modities as low as cents. He insisted
that IS cents was the only legal rate for
oil, when no one had ever paid it, and
when it was authoritatively sworn that
it did not apply to oil.
The case has been taken on appeal to
the higher courts to which we must look
for that calm judgment which will res
cue the rights of the citizen from the
field of public clamor and from the DO
main of vindictive politics.
These paragraphs summarize a state
ment from James A. Moffatt, president
of the Standard Oil Company of Indi-
ana, which follows, and this is supple
mented by editorials from leading news
papers all over the country. While pub
lie opinion is generally adverse to the
Standard Oil Company, as it is to all
trusts and big corporations, it would
seem that in this particular case the
railroad and not the Standard Oil Com
pany is at fault. But as the case is to
go to the Supreme Court, "a tribunal
that is beyond the sway of passion and
prejudice" it only remains to await its
decision.

SWANvILLE'S GOLD HOME DAY"

Swanville has ever known was Old Home
Day, Aug Doth. In the afternoon there was

cleared for dancing, but the hall was too
crowded for comfort. Reyes orchestra of

midnight ice cream, cake and coffee were
served. Much credit is due the young peo-
pie who worked so long and faithfully for
the beauty and success of the whole affair.
The dainty dance orders and tiny bouquets
at the tables made pretty souvenirs which
will long be cherished by the participants.

In repeatedly calling attention to the
condition of our present school build
iugs and the needs of the schools, the
school committee is only performing a
duty that naturally devolves upon it.
This committee is entrusted with the
care Of the buildings and supervision
of the schools under special act of the
Legislature, and its members are chosen
by ballot at our municipal elections. It
may safely be assumed that they have
the interests of the city and of the
schools at heart, and that they are bet
ter informed on the matters entrusted
to them than the average citizen. In
fact, the average citizen, and even
those who have children in the schools,
have manifested very little interest in
them. The few citizens who have in
Spected the school buildings have ex-
pressed surprise as to their condition
and recognized the necessity for i'm
proved conditions. 1t is generally con-
coded that the limit has been reached
in rearranging the present buildings
and that only new building will meet
the present requirements This has been
made very. evident by the recent pub

citizens and the city government to the

all that it is authorized to do. 1t has
