CONVENTION.

Rev. Willard H. Roots, pastor of
st. James Episcopal church in this
city, leaves next Monday to attend the
three hundredth anniversary of the
founding of the Episcopal church in

white child born in America, was bap-
TIED as was also the Indian princess,
Pocahontas. The general convention
of the church will be held in Rich
mond during October. The house of
Deputies will meet in the church made
famous by the speech of Patrick Hen
ry, and where Presidents Washington,

Y. M. c. A. WILL ASSIST STU
DENTS.

The College Young Mems Christian
Association is preparing to carry on an
aggressive campaign among the stu
dents this year. A start will be made
by meeting new students at the train
when they first arrive, and showing
them to boarding and rooming accom-
modations. During the registration
days an information bureau viii be
conducted for the purpose of setting
aside some of the mysteries which al
ways surround a new student while he
is enrolling.
AS usual, the Association will con-
duct and Employment Bureau through
out the year. The people of Pullman
are urged to make all possible use of
this feature Of the work as there are a
large number of students who are
obliged to earn a part Of their expens-
es while in college, and anything
which will help them in the pursuit of
their course will do much to promote
the cause of higher education. Stu
dent labor must be employed princi-
pally on Saturdays, although there are
some students who are willing to work
during the afternoons of the other
days. When any help is wanted, COM
municate with the chairman of the
Bureau, whose name will
be announced later. Meanwhile, if
there are any permanent positions to
be filed, the secretary will be glad to
know about them Immediately, as
many applications for such are being
received already. Call up the Regis
trar' S office or address Stanley T. Shaw.

BRINGS GOOD RETURNS.

Although the price of land in the
Palouse country has advanced by leaps
and strides during the past nine years
Palouse land continues to be a very
profitable investment for the farmers.
When land began to reach the $50 per
acre mark it was prophesied that the
high mark as an investment bearing
profit for the small grain farmer had
been reached and that a good rate of
interest could not be made on land
purchased at prices above $50 per acre.
There is much evidence at present
that land in this locality can advance
to the 500 mark and prove a much
more profitable investment, with less
labor, than in localities where 500
values have become an accepted fact.
One example can be cited right ada
cent to Rosalia. Last year f. M.
Campbell purchased a tract of land
from Andrew Calhoun, paying $50 an
acre. The tract was sown to oats and
threshed several days ago, yielding IS
bushels per acre. This at the present
price of oats means $50 per acre. or
one half of the purchase price of the
land.
This is only one individual instance,
but dozens of others can be cited an
}roaliy where the average yield of
wheat is from 35 to so bushels pei
acre, which at present prices means d
return of $24. so to $35 per acre. In
deed, this year the field Of wheat that
does not go from 80 to IS bushels per
acre is decidedly below the general
average. These facts considered it
seems no eXaggeration to aver that the
Palouse country ranks first as a farm
er's bank account builder. There may
be many fertile isolated tracts in the
universe, but facts and figures sub
stantiate the statement that for small
grain production the Palouse country
has no equal on Gods green footstool.

Evident Intention of the New
Law is to Bolster Up Pc
1itical Interests of the
Booze Party.

The majority of the city council
took advantage Of the people when
they were sleeping Thursday night to
change the ward lines till the average
citizen could not tell the next morning
What ward he was a resident Of, and
the peculiar shapes of some of the
wards leave many yet in doubt as to
where their voting precinct lies In
fact, under the new ordinance, a ward
map of Pullman bears a striking re-
semblance to a Chinese puzzle. and
will require about as much mental
effort in the solving as would the puz-
zle.
1t is very evident that the intention
Of the promoters of this gigantic Job
is to defeat the will of the people at
the coming city election, and to give
to the saloon better chance to re-
main in Pullman a year longer. -
The old ward lines were established
by this same party two years ago. the
saloon interest debating the running
of the lines at that time. Under those
lines the first ward was overwhelming
ly wet. " and the third ward as
strongly "dry, while the second
ward, upon which depended the destiny
of the saloon question, was pretty
evenly balanced, the 'wets" carrying
it at the last two elections by decreas-
ing malorities. This year the chang
ing sentiment has put the second ward
In the dry column, as a poll evidently
showed the booze party, and as last
resort. the re-warding job was put up
and forced down the threats of the
people without giving them chance to
say whether they liked it or not.
The sections of the ordinance estab-
fishing the. bounds of the wards read
as follows:
THAT the ward to be designated as
First Ward, shall be comprised of all
the property lying and being within
the following described limits; Be
ginning at the corporate limits on the
center of High Street, running thence
North along the center of High Street.

PROCEEDINGS OF
CITY COUNCIL
J. +. Cochran Gets Contract to Con
tract to Construct Grand
Street Sewer.

All members of the city council
were present at the regular session
last Thursday night except Mcguire
and Duthie.
The city engineer reported the Moss
contract on the reservoir extension as
practically completed, although there
were some leaks in it that he would
insist upon having fixed before the
work was accepted.
Bills as follows were read and or
dered paid
0. A. Amos, burying dog, rs.
}. S. Clark, freight etc, S54.
X. Lanning, street work, $50.
Ray Douglass. street work, SLIGO.

r. N. Fincher, labor, SLIPS.
j. F. Cochran, balance on water
main contract, S25.
Will Fitzgerald, labor, S..
F. E. Wilson, labor, SIS.
The bill of J. II. Frazier, for 1896
e, balance due on unearned liquor IL
cense, was read, no action being taken
further than to refer the bill to the
finance committee. This bill is for
the balance that was due on the Fra
izer license at the time the license
was revoked on January 18th. last, the
license still having four months to run,
and no refund having been made by
the council.
The College Park addition company
petitioned the council to lay water
main to the new addition, guarantee
ing a 10 per cent interest on the in
vestment till such time as the revenues
from the line would equal that amount.
A sewer was also asked for along the
same lines. The proposition was ac-
cepted, and the fire and water commit
tee was instructed to complete the
contract.
A communication from S. C. Rob-
erts was read stating that his resi-
dence on East Main street had been
built on the original grade as estab-
lished by ordinance. and that the ma
cadam was now being put on the street
in front on a different and higher
grade, putting him to considerable ex-
pense in raising his premises to con-
form to the new grade, and asking
that ne be given some relief in the
matter. The communication was re-
ferred to the proper committee.
The petition of residents of High
street asking for the vacation of 18
feet on each side of the street was
granted.
A communication from County Clerk
Todd informed the council that a new
trial had been denied in the Mathews
alley case.
-Four ordinances. one prohibiting
fighting or disorderly conduct on the
streets, another prohibiting the carry
ing of concealed weapons, another the
skating rink ordinance, and the fourth
the re-warding ordinance, were read
and passed. The skating rink ordin-
ance provides for 500 yearly license,
prohibits children from entering, and
minors between the ages of II and q

Pullman; thence southerly along the
corporate limits to the South corporate

THAT the ward to be designated as
the Second Ward, shall be comprised
of the territory lying within the fol-
lowing lines and boundaries, to-wit :.
Commencing at the center of High
Street, on the South corporate line Of
the City of Pullman; thence North on
High Street to the center of Main
Street; thence easterly to the inter
section of Main and Alder Streets :;
thence northerly along the center of
Alder street to the center of Olsen
Street; thence northerly on Kamiaken
Street to the center Of the Palouse
river; thence westerly along the Pa
louise river to the corporate limits Of
the North boundary line of the City on
Pullman; thence westerly to the West
corporate line of said City. thence
South along said West corporate line
to the southwest corner of the city
limits of the City of Pullman; thence
East along the South corporate line of
said City to the place of beginning.
"That the ward to be designated as
the Third Ward. shall consist of all
that portion of the City of Pullman
within the corporate limits thereof not
hereinbefore described, as included in
the First and Second Wards of said
City of Pullman. "
The first ward is now shaped like an
immense fire shovel, the body of the
ward lying west of High street, and
including Methodist hill. while the
handle is a strip consisting of two
rows of blocks that reaches nearly
across College hill, practically cult
ing the third ward in two. This
"handle" puts Councilman Baker, at
present representing the second ward,
into the first ward. Military hill is
cut off from second ward and attached
to the third ward, while the north side
of Main street is cut out of the first
ward and attached like wart to the
second ward. This move throws all
of the three saloons into the second
ward. Geographical lines were not
followed in the division, and glance
at the map of the city shows the un-
fairness of the warding.
The ordinance was passed over the
protest of Councilman Fulmer, who
asked that it go over till the next
meeting and that a map showing the
proposed new lines be prepared. The
councilman voting in favor of the or
dinance were Scott and Staley of the
lst ward, and Lanning and Baker of
the second.
The ordinance is now in the hands

The bid was referred to the proper
committee, which has full power to act.
