Thursday morning Mr.. Carish called
upon the city clerk, and was refunded
$2l0, the amount of the license fee that
was unearned when the license was
revoked. In settlement of this bal
ance, warrant had been drawn for
the amount, but that no cry of injus-
tice could be raised, the cash for the
warrant was provided by Councilman
Fulmer, and he will hold the warrant
till it is paid in regular order.
The Carish's disposed of practically
all their stock of liquors before clos
ing. much of it being carried away by
the bottle. What disposition they will
make of the building we have not
learned, but it is in an excellent To-
cation, and should find ready rental
for some legitimate business.

PULLMAN SALOONS ARE
NOW ANCIENT HISTORY
Last Of the City's Booze Emporiuns Closed
Its Doors Permanently Last
Wednesday Night

The long fight waged by the anti
saloon forces in Pullman won its full
victory when the Carish saloon, the
last surviving establishment for the
sale of intoxicants, closed its doors
permanently at eleven o'clock Wednes-
day night in pursuance of the order of
the city council revoking it's license to
take effect at that hour.
The last day of the last saloon was
a busy one for the establishment itself,
and many of its customers celebrated
as they thought fitting to the occasion,
and jags of assorted sizes were in evil
dence, although the closing hours were
attended by no unseemly disturbances.
Promptly at eleven O'Clock the pro-
prietors invited the fifty odd guests to
depart, and the key was turned upon
the saloon rule in Pullman.

SUSTAINS CHADWICK'S DE-
CISION.

The supreme court passed upon the
Pullman registration case in which an
effort was made to change ward bound
aries of the town prior to the last city
election in "wet" and "dry" fight.
The decision of the superior court fav-
orable to the dry element is affirmed.
The case was of chief interest from
the fact that it involves the right of
Governor Mead to proclaim the bank
ing holidays of last October. Judge
Chadwick's hearing of the matter had
been in progress for two days on holi-
days proclaimed by Governor Mead
during the October financial stress.
None of the parties, including the
court, however. were aware of the
holiday proclamation until het arrival
of the daily newspapers from outside
towns, whereupon court was adjourned
and the final decision was not rendered
until after the holidays were over.
The supreme court, however, side
steps" this feature by assuming that
the governors holidays were legally

Should Take Small Farms.

Homeseekers now coming to the In
land Empire with the annual recur-
renee of colonist rates from the east
should bear in mind the advisability of
taking small farms rather than ac-
quiring large tracts of land. The fu-
ture of this country is for the small
farmer and success will depend to
large extent on the ability and energy
of the settlers in cultivating tracts of
from to 100 acres.
The difficulty of procuring labor to
carry on operations on large farms has
taught many the necessity of undertake
ing no more than they can accomplish
with the help of their own families
and one or two hired hands in their
rush season. And small farm prop
erly cultivated, with every square foot
of ground utilized, will yield far better
returns than larger tract which can
not be cared for as it should be.
The small farm plan brings settlers
closer together. creates desirable social
conditions, enables better schools to
be maintained and in many other ways
works to the advantage of the people.
There is tendency on the part of
some persons to extend their farm hold
ings. but the prevailing movement is
toward the other plan. and it should be
encouraged. Review.

Must Have More Rooms for
Teachers

Editor Herald The people of Pull
man have responded very kindly indeed
to everything have asked of them
thus far for the success of the Inland
Empire Teachers Association, which
will meet in Pullman in a few days.
We will have about 500 teachers here
Sunday or. Monday to Friday afternoon.
inclusive. We will have an addition
al 400 or 500 teachers who will be here
Wednesday afternoon to Friday after
noon, inclusive. have Accommodations
enough for this first group of five hun
dred who will spend the entire week in
Pullman. do not have enough of
rooms however, for the second group
of five hundred who will come OIL We'd
nesday afternoon and evening.
Now, the college vacation begins
Wednesday, April 8. at pm. The
rooms occupied by students who go
home for this spring vacation | need
very much indeed for this second group
of teachers who come Wednesday. The
people of Pullman can help me great
deal if they will inform me of the ad-
ditional rooms that will be open on
Wednesday and Thursday evening to
these teachers.
Meals for the teachers. week of
April to 10, is another problem that
| must have help on. The Y. w. CA.
of the the college will serve noon
lunch at the college buildings Monday
to Friday, inclusive. The ladies of
the Christian church will serve meals
at noon and supper Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday. Many Pullman people
who furnish rooms to the teachers will
also furnish meals. A number, how
ever, who have agreed to furnish rooms
do not wish to furnish meals also.
Now, if all these people in Pullman
who are furnishing rooms to teachers
will kindly give breakfast at the rate
of 25c, to the teachers they room. it
will help US out very much indeed If
this is not done many of the teachers
will have to walk three quarters of a
mile down town for breakfast and
then walk back up the hill again to the
college buildings. These people can
get their noon meals at the Christian
church or with the Y.W.C.A. girls.
They can get their evening meals We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday at the
Christian church or at the hotels and
restaurants. If those who take room
ers could possibly give supper also on
Monday and Tuesday to the teachers
that room with them it would be a
great help.
So hearty has been the response of
the Pullman citizens in everything
asked of them thus far for every meet
ing of this kind, that | believe they
will respond heartily to this further re-
quest. Yours truly,
H. C. SAMPSON.

reasonable means of learning that hol-

it was not sufficient ground for setting
aside the judgment of the lower court.
The application for writ is therefore
denied and the judicial findings of the
