THEY DID RIGHT.

THE commissioners of Whit
man county deserve credit for
their action in buying an cleo
trio light plant for the court
house. The revelations shown
in regard to the prices charged
Whitman county are startling.
That the county should be taxed
$83. 70 per month, the year round
for electrical lights in a court
house where work is almost all
done during daylight hours, is a
surprise and the commissioners
were right in refusing longer
to be held up for such prices.
The fact that the electric
light company offered to make
a fiat rate of $50 per month,
which is $685. 70 per month less
than what has been charged the
county, proves conclusively that
the prices heretofore charged
were eXorbitant and unjust. If
the guarantee that the expense
of operating the plant will not
exceed $50 per month holds
good, the county will save more
than $500 per year on its light
bill alone, which will pay for
the plant in less than two and
a half years.
Another startling revelation
was the charges for water used
in the court house. That this
should average more than $40
per month, while the rate to
hotels in Pullman is but S. per
month, shows that something is
wrong. This was clearly proven
when the commissioners threat
ened to install their own water
system and the price was re-
duced from $46.70 in February,
to $40, in March. That the
county should be charged $76 for
water in August when the July
bill was but $12, is further con-
elusive proof that the charges
are unjust and not based on
amount consumed. The quicker
the county commissioners take a
stand for economy and refuse to
permit the county to be held up
by favored interests, whether
private or municipal corpora
tions, the better the tax payers
will be pleased.

OUR POLICY.

THE HERALD is. first of all, a
newspaper in the fullest sense Of
the word. 1t is not, and never
shall be an organ, either of any
faction, party or sect. It's first
object shall be to print the news
correctly and fearlessly, telling
things as they actually happen
and putting no false color or con-
struction on its news reports.
Its second object shall be the
upbuilding of Pullman, Washing
ton State College and Whitman
county, in general, and that part
lying tributary to Pullman, IN
particular. 1t shall strive to be
benefit to Pullman and every
legitimate business enterprise
therein. The management has a
friendly feeling for every inter
est of Pullman and has no enc
mics to punish.
To give a good, live, clean news
service and to work constantly
for the betterment of conditions
in Pullman and vicinity will re-
uuire all of the time of the ed
itorial and reportorial staff and
will leave no time nor space for
petty quarreling, cowardly and
undetermined slurs, nor attempts
to injure some one who may not
like the management or employ
es of this Office. Suchwork only re-
fleets discredit upon those stoop-
ing to such little practices and
can do no good. 1t hurts the
town to have the columns of a
paper filled with slurs against its
citizens and such will not be per-
mitted in the columns of the
Herald.
This paper will not notice nor
deign to reply to attacks OF a
personal nature upon it or the
management or employees. The
paper and all who are connected
with it are deemed capable of
caring for themselves without
STOPPING to petty quarreling
with those who may be jealous
of the success which is sure to
attend an enterprise which de-
votes its time, energy and atten-
ton to boosting" and has no
time to devote to knocking"
With this platform we come
before the people of Pullman
and vicinity, asking your support
and assistance to build up a
great town and to advance the
interests of every property hold
er in the town and surrounding
country. We expect to ma Ike the
Herald an institution of which
the citizens of Pullman will be
proud and to publish a paper
which they will never be
ashamed to send to friends in
other states, because it will not
contain anything which will
cast discredit upon Pullman or
worthy citizens of the town.

WITH a new railroad almost
certain to build into Pullman this
year, and half a million dollars
to be spent for improvements
and maintenance for Washing
ton State College, the outlook for
the coming city of the Inland
Empire could not well be i'm
proved. Pullman seems destined
to become the greatest railroad
center as we'll as the greatest ed
ucational center in the Palouse
country.

THE RAILROAD COMMITS
SION.

THE HERALD is in receipt
of the annual report of the state
railroad commission of Washing
ton, for the year 1908. The re-
port covers 573 pages and makes
a large book. which is full of in
teresting information. That the
commission has done much good
for the state is believed by all
who have familiarized them
selves with what the commits
sion has accomplished. thas dis
covered the actual cost of every

view takes the only logical stand

mile of railroad in the state and
the value of all of the railroad
property, including rolling stock,
real estate and equipments, and
by doing this uncovered a lot of
property that has escaped taxa
ton. The value of the railroad
property for taxation purposes
was found to be much larger
than had previously been sup
posed and the state has been
saved a vast sum in railroad
taxes. This, alone, would pay
the cost of the commission for
half a century, if it had done
nothing more.
But the commission has estab
lished its right to enforce con-
nections between various roads,
to make rates and to enforce
Joint rates on several lines. This
point, the one upon which the
real value of the commission
hangs, was decided in favor of
the commission by the state su-
preme court and settles, for all
time, the question of the rights
and powers of the commission
and it means that the rate max
ing power is to be given to the
commission instead of remaining
with the railroads to fix rates
arbitrarily, without regard to
justice or right, as has been the
case in the past.
Another act, of great import
ance which the commission has
done is the establishing of an
inspectorship for tracks and
equipments for the railroads of
the state. A. w. Perley, the in
spector, is Whitman county
man and one of the best engi-
neers ever employed in the state.
He is thoroughly conversant
with the work and understands
just what to do. Mr.. Perley ac-
companied the recent demonstra-
ton train on the O. r. & N. and
inspected tracks and equipments
at every stop made by the train.
In conversation with railroad
employees and officials the Herald
editor learned that Mr.. Perley's
work has been of almost inesti-
mable value to the state and has
saved the railroads thousands of
dollars. He has forced the rail-
roads to improve their tracks
and equipments with the results
that there has been fewer
wrecks, all trains are in better
condition, the tracks are cared
for better than ever before and
the loss of life and property has
been greatly reduced.
Whitman county is we'll repre-
sented on the commission. J. C.
Lawrence, one of the most eff
cient members, was a resident
of Whitman county since long
before Washington was a state,
and Mr.. Perley was for many
years a resident of this county
and was one time chairman of
the county central committee of
the republican party.

Main. in the Pfalz and Rhine where
/ was born. lived 40 years and gained
my experience in this branch as
vineyardist and orcharGisj, wine and
champagne producer.
Good vintages, for example 1898
Rhine wine Riesling Auslese. two
years old, we have by public auctions
received as high as $4,000 mark for
1900 liter. that is about 010 600 for
300 gallons. This excellent quality
wine went to New York, where there
is always good market for choice
and highest priced wines.
II soon found that the unfavorable,
too warm climate in California during
the winegrape harvesting is the main
fault of the vinegar tasting and SMELL
ing wines and the thought occurred to
me that in the more northern states
with about the same ATTITUDES and
elevations above sea level, as the
winegrape growing districts in Ger
many and France, the climate must
be better adapted for raising quality
wines. l have studied thoroughly the
United States weather reports of the
states of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho during the last three years and
found that various counties or dis
tricts of these states under considera-
ton of the elevation, large water
courses, quality of soil slope, rain
fall, temperature and sunny days,
must be better adapted to raising
quality wines. as the beautiful Cali
fornia with its too warm fall climate
and its dry wines containing also too
high percentage of alcohol.
Considering the different soils,
sandy loan. clay, alluvial. volcanic
| ash, top and sub soils, irrigated and
non irrigated lands. slopes elevation,
sunshine, temperature and rain condi-
tons principally between the months
of May and October. | would say that
If the best adapted winegrape va
rieties for setting out are chosen, then
in many parts of oregon, Washing
| ton and Idaho, by right treatment and
care, there can be grown quality
wines from Rhine, Moselle, Pfals. etc,
in Germany and with the Bordeaux
Gironde. Medoc and eventually cham
payne in France. The district named
| may perhaps even excel them. In
making this statement it must be con-
sidered that danger. like in other
countries and states, arising through
the phylloxera dreaded pest, is abso-
lutely excluded in the sandy volcanic
ash soil in eastern Oregon, Washing
ton and part of Idaho, because the
phylloXera can not exist in sandy
soil"

The city of North Yakima through
it's generous citizens has not been
slow to respond to the many calls
made upon them from time to time
in support of the various religious
interests that up to date have been
represented here. And It is not for
us to establish ourselves as censors
regarding what shall or shall not be
the limit of operations for the future
but as a medium of public express
sion we have the right to an opin-
ion.
On inquiry we find that the Saliva
ton Army has been established in
this city for seventeen years: already
owns the property where its work Is
carried on and plans the erection of
a large and more suitable building in
the near future.
Its work i'm relieving the necessities
of the poor and distressed was per-
haps never more efficiently under
taken than by the present officer in
charge. During the winter just past
hundreds of dollars worth OF provis-
ions, clothing and fuel were dis
tributed under Captain Jenkins ad-
ministration.
Now that the heaviest work for a
season is at an end and people OF
small resources are better able to
care for themselves the Volunteers OF
America have appeared in the field
with the expressed intention of es-
tablishing a post In this city Inquiry
reveals the fact that their methods
of work are similar to those followed
by the army. If this is so their work
is good. and we have no disposition
to criticize the character or method
of the work they do. On the Other
hand, il their work is needed in ad-
dition to what the Salvation Army is
doing they should be supported.
But we do qucstior the ACCESSIBILITY
of dividing the interest in work OF
this kind and in a city of this size Ir
dividing the work the cost of admin
istration must be increased and al.
most surely double. The two meet
ings on the same block sound to the
casual observer like a ianger rather
than note of harmony, while. o.
course the people generally attracted
by such meetings are very natuall,
drawn by something new.
Many of those who make up thu
mighty audiences on the street W.
may not hope to reach, but we dare
to express the hope that the business
men of the city will remain stauncf
in their support of the army worl
which is being so ably pushed for
ward by Captain jenkins and his as
sociates.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they Cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
il is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition. hearing Will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh. which is
nothing but an inflamcd condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
