C0QnERCIAL CLUB
ELECTS new OFFICERS
The School House Question and
Free City Delivery are Dis
cussed by the Club.

Tuesday evening, pursuant to the
call issued by President Neill, the
Pull-for- Pullman club met in Marx
hall, the annual election of tfficers
occurring at that time. Mr.. Neill
was reelected president, and Wilford
Allen was elected secretary, the exc
cutive committee elected being COM
posed of Messrs. G. w. Reed, j. M.
Palmerton, w. H. Harvey, j. M.
Klemgard, D. F. Staley, E. S. Bur-
gan, H. V. Carpenter, w. j. Roberts,
and Chas. A. Brewer. The term of
Office of one member of this committee
expires each month, the term of the
first named expiring April 1st, the sec
ond May 1st and SO on, the successor
of the outgoing member being elected
at the regular meeting on the first
Tuesday Of each month.
The club then discussed at length
the school house question, the solv-
ing of the problem of providing the
three new ward school buildings being
a task that the club has undertaken.
Various plans for financing the build
ings were proposed, and a committee
was appointed to devise feasible
proposition and present it to the club
at its meeting next Tuesday evening.
The buildings, which are to be of
birch, will cost approximately $4,000
each, the district only being able at
this time to build one of them, and it
is likely that some plan will be de-
vised of disposing of stock to build the
trict till it is able to purchase them
outright. The committee having this
in charge is composed of D. F. Staley,
c. A. Brewer, E. S. Burgan, w. j.
Roberts, W. H. Harvey, L. W. Lam
ming and Thos. Neill.
1t was announced that the receipts
of the Pullman post Office had now
passed the $1,000 which entitled the
city to the free delivery system, and a
resolution was unanimously adopted
urging the city council to meet all the
requirements of the department re-
garding the numbering of residences,
repair of walks, ETC., that the system
might be installed at the earliest pos
sible moment
The club will hold its regular
monthly meetings in the Marx hall
and all Pullman citizens who believe in
helping with the upbuilding and bet
terment of the city, are urged to at
tend

SEASON OPENS WITH THREE
VICTORIES.

The baseball season opened for the
State College team with three practice
games in the Lewiston country last
week. Two games were played with
the Normalites and one with the
Charleston high school. The Normal
boys were too easy to make the game
interesting but Charleston had pitcher
who made the collegians fan wind
fourteen times. A game will be
played with the Butte league team at
Moscow, today. The snow and rain
of the past week has prevented any
practice outside but it is believed that
the boys will give the leaguers a
close run despite this fact.
-Eldred f. Jenne, who is doing
work at Cornell University this year,
will enter government service in the
bureau of entomology April /. His
special line of work is the codling
moth, which he so successfully handled
while at the State College. Mr..
Jenne was selected from large num-
ber of candidates by the head of the
department at Cornell, who made this
selection at the request of the head of
the bureau at Washington.

Geo. Layman bears all the evil
dences of a badly defeated prize fighter
these days, and it all came about
through his desire to deprive the busy
bee of the store of sweets which it
had laid away last season. In com
pany with a couple of other parties,
George had discovered a swarm of bees
in a crevice in the cliff near Wawa-
wal, last Saturday, and was indust-
riously prying off the rocks to get at
the honey, when a ledge of the rock
upon which he was standing broke,
throwing him face downward upon the
rocks below. He was badly bruised
and shaken, and several bad gashes
were cut in his face by the sharp
basaltic rock. He was carried to
Wawawai and a physician summoned
to patch him up, and time will repair
the most of the damage done. We
have not learned what became Of the
bees.

LAND FOR STATE COLLEGE

Prof. Severance has returned from
Connell, where he went last week to
select tract of land that had been
offered by the citizens of that place
for an experimental station. A tract
Of so acres on the farm of w. r.
Beckley, three miles north west of
Connell, was decided on by Professor
Severance as an ideal tract for the
purpose of the college, the 80 acres
being as level as a floor. The college
authorities will Immediately put
forces to work to prepare the land and
to put the station into actual opera
ton. Professor Severance has out
lined the following items as the ones
to be determined by the work of the
local station:
First To determine the best meth
cd of handling the summer fallow.
Second-To determine the possihil-
lty of cultiyating fall sown wheat to
conserve the moisture.
Third-To determine the adaptable
Ity of the soil there to crops other than
wheat.
Fourth-To determine the effect up
on the succeeding wheat crop of grow
ing a cultivated crop, like sorghum,
on the summer fallowed, compared
with wheat grown on a clean summer
fallow.
Fifth-To determine the possibility
of growing an alternate crop of fodder,
(non-cultivated) as compared with
bare summer fallow.
SiXth-To determine the possibility
of growing certain perennial grasses.

The caboose on the Northern Pa
cific freight going to Lewiston jumped
the track yesterday morning when
about a mile beyond the junction, and
the conductor and brakeman were
pretty seriously shaken up by their
ride over the ties. The conductor had
one leg broken, but beyond that the
damages are not supposed to be SER
ious. The injured men were taken to
Spokane for treatment. The caboose
remained upright on the ties, but
was later rolled into the ditch to clear
the track for the passenger train.

Restriction of output 20 conform to whatever
decline in the consumption develop is the
policy which, avowedy. the large interests in the
iron and steel trade purpose to pursue. Any accu-

direction is already being taken. With a stock OF

the Steel Corporation is blowing out furnaces. At
this writing fourteen are idle. The Columbus steel
plant and furnaces have been shut down. the steel
plant being on sheet and tin plate bars. A large
percentage OF the tin plate and sheet mills are idle
and It is possible that the Bellare furnaces and
steel works, which are on the same product may
be next to 10 work.
"A number of Eastern pig iron furnaces will
blow out, and 1t is understood that the principal

DIRECTORS IN SESSION.
Segregation Proposal Under Discus
SiOn-BOndhOLders Protected.

The directors of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company yesterday took the initial steps toward
the working out of the promised plan for segre-
eating the company's investment holdings, a
plan which represents the decision Of the Union
Pacific to withdraw definitely and finally from
the field Of speculative enterprise After the
meeting the following official statement was
issued:
Upon the call of President Hartman. a meet

Ralroad company was held to-day. At his
suggestion the question was considered of so

therein should best accrue to the Union Pacific
stockholders and their interests be best pro-

take the matter up IN conjunction with the ex-
ecutfve committee of the Union Pacific board
Such s committee to report to a subsequent meet
ing of the full board of directors.
When plan is decided upon 1t is intended to
submit it 10 the stockholders for their ap-
proval. The full committee is as follows: T.

Walton Goeet, New York.
Mr.. Hartman says that in whatever is done
the convertible bondhoders will be fully pro-
tected.
From other authoritative sources it is learned
that the holders Of preferred stock. the divi-
heIQ on winch Is limited 10 / per cent Il year,
viii. like the holders of the convertible bonds
share in the benefits OF the plan with the COM
mon stockholders, who now get per cent a

Whether or not the Southern Pacific stock
now held by the Union Pacific will be trans
ferred by the latter TO the projected holding

still an open question, with the probabilities in
favor Of the Union Pacific retaining its direct
control Of the properly. the Central Pacific,
which is part Of the Southern Pacific system, is
the line over which the Union Pacific gets from
CEden TO the coast al san Francisco.
4 is said that the directors hope to have the

Central's stockholders, in that case the Union
Pacific would no longer be IN direct control OF
the 2S5,000 shares of Illinois Central stock

his injunction But the working out of the
plan seems likely 20 be extremely difficult
and complicated task. requiring considerable
time, and & vas thought IN Wall Street yester-
day that the chances we're shat the plan could
