Perhaps the most dangerous street in
the county is the one at the corner of
Railroad and Star Route streets Just
below the Christian church. At that
piont there is an almost perpendicular
Jump-off of eighteen or twenty feet
with the Northern Pacific track lying
beneath. If team should run awav
on coming down Star Route it would
in all probability dash over that yawn-
ing precipice. Death would be in
evitable. There is absolutely no pro-
lection whatever-not even an arc
light at night. At present there is
nothing there to prevent one from
driving over that abyss should the
night be dark and stormy. Could not
fence be placed there or some other
action taken to protect the lives of
our citizens?

by Kaiser, requires the penitentiary
grain bags to be sold to grain growers
at about cost. If we are not mistak-
en- this provision is incorporated in
the bill which has done public service
a number of years. Still. the matter
is always of interest to the producers
and they will welcome the passage of
this particular bill if on no other
grounds than that it will tend to make
sack prospects brighter for few
years. 1t is not the cost. however,
that grain men are worrying over. it
is the distribution.

Communicated.

The question as to whether the open
saloon under careful police surveillance
is not the best means of controlling
the liquor traffic is one about which
there are honest differences of opinion
and which in some cities is clearly a
debatable one. But there are certain
reasons which it seems to me make it
clear that there should be no saloons
in Pullman.
First, there are in Pullman more
than two hundred young men under
the age of twenty one years, who are
for the first time away from the res
training influence of homelife and the
wise counsel and control of their par
ents. New environment and the sud
den removal of the restraining influence
to which they have been accustomed
make them particularly susceptible to
evil influences and particularly apt to
contract vicious habits. Pullman
should take pride in protecting these
young men.
Second, saloons in Pullman must
necessarily make special efforts to en-
courage the drink habit among the
young men of the city. We have no
large class of miners, lumber jacks,
factory hands, or other men with APP
petites for drink to provide patronage
for saloons here. There are not enough
men of mature years and fixed habits
in Pullman who are addicted to the
liquor habit to give profitable returns
to a single saloon. The saloons must.
therefor, continually strive to cultivate
the drink habit among our young men.
1t is said that men who have acquired
the passionate appetite for drink will
get liquor whether we have saloons or
not. Granting this, should we toler-
ate in our midst the saloons whose
very existence depends not upon sup
plying the cravings of few already
uncomfortable appetites, but upon a
constant effort to develop and stimu-
late the passion for drink among our
young men.
Third, the growth of Pullman as
city would be favored by the removal
of saloons from our midst. Pullman
must compete with all the other sur
rounding towns for the incoming citi-
zens. The one point wherein Pullman
has the advantage over all the other
towns of the Palouse country is her de-
STABILITY as residence city. Give
Pullman the further advantages of
freedom from saloons and more we'll
TODD people who are looking for
place to build themselves comfortable
homes where they may educate their
children and live among the pleasures
of college town, will come to our
city than to all the other cities of the
county put together. We would well
come any industry which would bring
fifty laborers and their families to the
city because of the increasd trade they
would give. 1t is no idle guess that
II saloons were out of Pullman more
than fifty families of well-to-do
people, who would add much more to
our trade and civic growth than does
the ordinary factory hand, would come
to US within the next two years, and
in increasing members as our advan-
tages grow and become more widely
known.

HANDSOME RESIDENCE BURNED.


The handsome two story residence
belonging to Mrs. r. Horton was de-
strOyed by fire last Saturday. Almost
the entire top OF the building was en-
velOped in flames when the fire was
first discovered at l AS p. m. and it
looked for a while that several other
buildings in that neighborhOod would
also be consumed by the angry flames,
and but for the valiant work of the
fire company, such would have been
the case. Scarcely had the fire been
gotten under control when another
alarm was sounded and it was found
that the old Pass store on Depot
street was on fire. Proper efforts
soon extingulsned the fire and a few
whispers OF regret were heard that the
old building did not burn.
On Monday night, a couple of tene-
ment houses just across the railroad
opposite the Grenada Hotel were
burned.
