LOST FOOT IN COMBINE

While working with the combined
harvester on the Frank Hungate farm
II miles from town last Wednesday,
Geo. N. Henry, pioneer resident of
Pullman. and vicinity, became en-
tangled in the shafting, so seriously
injuring his left leg that amputation
of the leg just below the knee was
necessary.
Mr.. Henry was working on the sep
arator when a set screw in the main
shaft caught the bottom of the left
pants leg, and twisted the foot around
the shaft, breaking abe bone above
the ankle in several places. and ter
rlbly lacerating the flesh. Tendons
and muscles were wound around the
shaft, and Mr. Henry assisted in free-
ing himself from the machine by TAX
ing out his pocket knife and cutting
loose some of the flesh. -
The injured man was at once brought
to town, where he was, operated upon
at Che Harris hospital, til Q leg being
.akei. off below the knee. He recov-
cred well from the shock of the injury
and amputation, and is now doing as
well as could be expected under the
circumstances.

OROFINO MAN DIES IN
PULLMAN,

Alfred c. Letter, laboring man SO
years of age, died at the Harris hos
pital Thursday night following an OPP
Grafton to remove pressure from the
brain. Letter was taken to the hos
pital several days ago, being in a
semi-comatose condition from brain
pressure, the skull showing injuries
that were supposed to be the cause.
When the surgeons operated upon him,
they found large tumor on the brain
that was largely the cause of the
trouble, although there were also de-
pressions in the skull caused by in
luries formerly received by being
thrown from horse. The tumor had
gone too long before the operation,
and some of the brain tissue had be-
come involved, so that it was impos-
sible to save his life.
Leffler came here from Orofno some
weeks ago, and worked in this vicin-
ity for some time, although in at least
one instance he lost his job because of
having queer" spells that are. now
accounted for by reason of the tumor.
His brother, who came up from Oro-
fino, says that Leftler has ben injured
number of times about thee head,
which accounts for the formation of
the tumor. The body was shipped
back to Orofno for burial yesterday.

wheat DTRRKET
~ GROWS STRONGER
Price of \ q. Now Quoted at
7f Cents Per Bushel in
This City.

The local wheat market is strong.
having reacted from the drop of a
week ago, No. of Forty Fold and
Blue Stem now being quoted at 70 and
Il cents. On this basis Club and Ar
cadia are 50 cents, and Red Russian 67
cents per bushel. These prices are
from one to three cents higher than
have been offered at many non-com-
peting points, Thursday S quotation at
ColfaX being 68 cents, while here it
was 70.
The independent buyers are operat
ing on the Northern Pacific almost ex-
clusively, the competition from this
source making it possible in many in
stances for wheat for shipment over
that road to bring the top notch price.
yesterdays limit of n cents being for
wheat on that line for shipment to
Seattle.
The harvesting operations that have
been badly interferred with since the
commencement of harvest, are now in
full swing again. with all weather
predictions favoring continued good
weather. The rains were not as dam
aging to grain as had been feared, and
buyers say that if the grain that stood
out in the shock is not threshed till it
is well dried out, it will undoubtedly
not be injured in grade. Overripe
wheat left standing for the combines
is somewhat bleached, and will be off
in grade, and some bundles that lay
fiat on the ground in the shocked fields
will show sprouts, although if these
are kept separate from the balance of
the bundles the damage will be imma-
terial.
Oats were late anyway. and are
not damaged, the bulk of the oat crop

SEWER CONTRACTOR LEAVES.

Henry Sacher, the contractor who
was recently given the contract for
the laying of the sewer from the CITY
park district, has taken a sudden but
complete leave of Pullman, and thrown
the burden of his contract. which
amounted to $4,000. upon his bondsmen,
c. M. Waters, Geo. Ewing and Neil
Stewart Sr.
I The reason of his going is unknown.
but other contractors say that his bid
was too low on the sewer work. and
that he did not wish to carry out the
contract. Sacher was indebted to
number of Pullman merchants, with
whom he forgot to make settlement be-
tore leaving. c. M. Waters had a
bill of over $40 against him, and has
attached some furniture belonging to
him, while M. D. Henry has attached
his tools for Sl3 account owed him.
Sacher's residence property and other
lots around the town were decided to S.
w. Stroup, of the Court saloon. in
settlement of a whiskey bill owed
there. 1t is also said that Sacher
cashed $40 check at the Carischs sa =
loon the night before he left, there
being no funds in the bank to take care
of the check when it was presented.
Sacher was an excellent mechanic,
and had the saloon not been a tempta-
tion that was overpowering, he would
have been good citizen. What the
bondsmen will do toward carrying out
the contract has not been learned.

COMMUNICATED.

The local W. C. T. U. opened a free
reading room in Pullman for six
months as an experiment. The last
monthly subscription will be due Sept.
13, and the six months is up Oct. 13.
1t is no idle boast to say that the
reading room is a success, and should
be continued, but it will take another
subscription to do this. The w. C.
7. u, had they the means necessary,
would like to get large reading
room, and in connection with it run a
rest room for women. especially coun-
try ladies, where they could leave
their chilrden while trading and rest
while waiting. which would benefit
Pullman in business way but if we
can have only one place. ] am sure,
the mothers would say to provide for
the boys first.
With the large army of young men
which will soon be here, are the peo-
pie of Pullman willing that there shall
be no place except the saloons and
pool rooms to receive them? 1t is up
to the people of Pullman to say wheth-
er they will advance or retrograde in
this matter. A small subscription
from each is all that is necessary to
carry on this work, so please make up
your minds what you wish to do, and
let US know when we take up the last
months subscription.

TOLD OF THE NORTHWEST.

Messrs. Robert E. Gay and II. E..
Goldsworthy returned Wednesday from
their trip through the EASTERN states,
the trip having been made under the
auspices of various commercial bodies
to advertise the resources of the Inland
Empire.
The following report of the trip is
furnished the Herald by the young
gentlemen:
We left Pullman for our trip east
shortly after Commencement and trav-
eled via the Northern Pacific, making
our first stop at Mason City, Iowa,
and spent most of the summer in this
state. We found the country and
climate in this region very different
from ours, but the people are very
much like our own. In fact we were
treated with courtesy and hospital
ity which even the people of the North
west would find it hard to surpass.
1.-The country is mostly gently roll
ing prairie, thickly studded with beau
tiful clumps of trees and bushes. Ev-
erythlng was green, their miniature
forests, their fields. fences and all,
and oh, so beautiful. Wherever we
went we found corn, corn, corn, good,
bad and Indifferent. but all of it green.
In that region there is very little of
the gray and brown coloring so COM
monty seen in our Western landscapes.
"The rainy season in the middle
Western states is in the summer time,
but this summer was exceptionally
rainy. Thunder storms were very
frequent and there were a few cy-
clones. The days and nights were
quite warm and although the ther-
mometer does not register quite as
high as in Pullman, the heat is much
more oppressive, owing to the much
greater humidity of the climate.
"On July we gave our first lecture
on our subject 1.-THE Great North
west" The attendance was good, and
the audience apreciative. Everywhere
we went we found people very greatly
interested in this region and in spite
of the fact that the summer time is
not the lecture season, we had fairly
good audiences. We made our own
dates and advertised quite thoroughly
with press notices, window cards and
house-to-house dogders, and as we
dealt with churches, we usually had
half dozen or more people in each
city pushing the advance sale of tick
cts. In lecutring one of US worked
at the lantern while the other one
lectured. Goldlsworthy gave the first
half and Gay the last half with no
intermission whatever.
Following is sample press notice
received in eastern papers
Mesrss. II. E. Goldsworthy and
Robert E. Cav, two college men from
the state of Washington. gave very
creditable lecture on "The Great
Northwest" in the Congregational

HOW MUCH THE PEOPLE READ.

Ten billion. three hunrded and
twenty y-seven million, one hundred and
forty three thousand, one hundred and
twenty-eight copies of newspapers and
periodicals were published in this
country in the year 1905, according to
a census bulletin for that year just
published. -
That product was an increase of
very nearly one third over the five
years preceding. Another point made
clear in this census bulletin is that
the number of establishments in the
printing industry is larger than that
reported for any other industry in the
United States. The census bureau
justly says:
The product of this industry con-
tinues to be contributed by great
numker of small establishments, .ac-
J ccya3lfsniag noteworthy results with a
small capital, operated by men of in
dependent thought and action, and con-
tributing materially to the intellectual
and financial growth of the country. I"
The capital invested in this business
in the census year was over 1886, 900,
600. The industry then ranked seventh
among the industries of the United
States, coming next to lumber and
timber, and ahead of woolen and cot
ton manufactures. In 1905 the total
value of advertising receipts was
placed at $1.79 for every man, woman
and child in the United States.
Another significant census fact re-
lating to newspapers and periodicals is
that they lead every industry in the
United States in the decrease in the
employment of labor by children,
most significant and creditable fact.
More than 900, 900 tons of paper
were used by newspapers and period
icals alone, and the spruce, poplar and
hemlock used in making the paper rep
resented the average timber product of
nearly 100. 900 acres, exclusive of logs
and pulp imported from Canada.
Of all the figures connected with the
paper industry, the most significant is
that seven-tenths of the total were
derived from or consumed by the daily
newspaper. OF this. there were 88
copies per capita of population pub
lished in 1905.
No country in the world has ever
shown any figures approaching these
that indicate the tremendous consump-
tion of reading matter by the people
of the United States. Seattle P.-I.

6cses for Next Year at
Fifteen Mills.

The city council at its session
Thursday night fixed the tax levy for
the coming year at fifteen mills, of
,b;ch amount 6 mills is for the in
debtedness fund; mills for bond in
torest fund; mills for sinking fund;
9s mills for current expense fund, and
!. mills for the sewer fund.
This levy is exactly the same as last
years levy except that no levy was
made for the park fund, the park in
debtedness having been fully paid by
the 81 mill levy of the past years, and
nroyision is made this year for Ii
levy for sewer purposes, levy that
was not made last year. This leaves
the total levy at Is mills, as against
is mills last year.
The reading of the treasurer's
monthly report showed the following
condition of some of the principal
funds; A total of 500, 1896. .43 in war
rants was outstanding against the gen.
eral fund. with $1636 q in the indebtss
edness fund; water fund warrants to
the amount of S2995. 2l were outstand-
inc. with Sl08. "a in the water fund
the receipts in this fund from water
rents during the month were $617. so.
The current expense fund was behind
1853. 90. and there was $209. 16 in this
fund.
Chairman Mcguire, of the board of
health, reported that there was a rum
or of number of cases of typhoid
fever in town, although no cases had
been reported to the health officer as
the the law provides.
M G. N. Gaddis reported the compile
NSlion of the work of plating the town

Of names. The report was accepted,
and the bill ordered paid.
An ordinance was passed providing
for the putting up of the house num-
bers, requiring that the numbers be
placed on each house or place of busi-
ness at once. Where the city puts up
the numbers, a charge of Scots will be
made, but resolution later passed
makes it possible for any householder
I 80 go to the city clerk and get the
4 proper numbers for 25cts, and tack
them up himself.
Another ordinance passed makes it
unlawful to tack or paste signs or
bills on any public or private prop
erty, or to destroy any public prop
erty within the city limits.
The clerk was instructed to adver-
tlse for bids for the laying of sewer
along Grand street.
Under the call, bids for the macad-
amizing of East Main street were
opened, that of A. r. Boyd being the
only bid presented.
e Mr. Boyd made a lump bid of S.,
0OO for the work, and the bid was re-
ierred to the special macadamizing
committee with power to act. The
boyd bid amounts to So. 10 per front
