A Stricken Family

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ira E. Henshaw were shocked to learn
of the sad bereavement of the family
this week when Kathryn, the little
daughter, not quite three years old,
died from scarlet fever, with which
several members of the family have
been suffering for some time. The
little girl died Thursday night and the
funeral was held from the residence
Friday afternoon. Owing to the con-
tagious nature of the disease services
were held at the grave only, but these
were largely attended by The many
friends of the stricken family. Rev.
M. H. Marvin, pastor of the Method
ist church. conducted the services.
There were a number of beautiful
floral offerings.
Ora May, the seven year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henshaw, is also
i'll with the same disease and when
the funeral was held Friday afternoon
it was thought that she would not sur
vive, but there is a marked improve
ment in her condition and hope that
she will get well is being entertained.

PULLMAN IS BEING
WELL ADVERTISED
State College and Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Co.
Help the Town

1t IS doubtful if the people of Pull
man fully realize the value of the ad-
vertlsing the town has secured from
the farm demonstration trains recently
run by Washington State College.
Every place the train stopped Pullman
was advertised as live, wide-awake
and moral town. The fact that this
is the home of the Washington State
College is generally known, but the
fact is not brought home to them in
any other manner like it is by these
demonstration trains and farmers in
stitutes. Those accompanying the
train were asked many questions about
Pullman and the college and there is
little doubt that as a result of this
advertising and the bringing home to
the people the Importance of this
school, that many families will come
to Pullman to reside permanently in
order that the children may get the
advantage of the big college.
An amusing incident occurred at
Walla Walla when a banquet was
given those with the party and num-
ber of Walla WalIa citizens by r.
B. Miller, general freight agent of
the O.R. & N. at the close of the trip.
Professor Thatcher in responding to a
toast dwelt at length on the scope of
the college, is work and is plans. He
reminded the people that this is a
state institution, supported by the
state and national governments and is
not local institution. "Many people
speak of it as Pullman College, in
stead of Washington State College,
seeming to think it is local institu-
tion and overlooking the fact that it
is a state school. " said he.
A little later Captain Whitney,
fruit inspector of Wala Walla county
was called upon for toast and he
said: "We take off ou hats to Pull
man college. 1t is great institu-
tion. and during his talk he mention
ed Pullman College" several times,
never once calling it Washington
State College. The incident caused
much amusement as Captain Whitney 8
talk followed that of Professor Sever
ance and showed that the habit of
calling the big school pullman Col
lege" has been formed to such an ex-
tent that people do it unconsciously.
All along the route such experiences
were found. Pullman and Washing
ton State College are so closely ident-
flied that people forget the town and
college are seperate institutions. One
is associated with the other and in
speaking of either one the other is
brought to mind. When a newspaper
prints an item about Washington
State College the article appears under
a Pullman date line, thus bringing
the town prominently before the read
er. All Of this helps to advertise the
town, which is benefited thereby.

TO PRESERVE APPLES
Willis Ford Has New Method of Keeping
Apples During Winter.

Wednesday Willis Ford brought to
Pullman fine load of Rome Beauty
apples which were as we'll preserved.
fresh and sweet as if just taken from
the trees. Mr.. Ford presented this
office with box of the apples and ex-
planned how they had been treated.
He said:
81 have tried many methods of keep
ing apples during the winter months
but none of them have been as success
full as a new method | am now using.
| pile the apples in windrows on the
ground and cover them with boards,
overlapping the joints so that no
water will run through the cracks
onto the apples. The apples froze
last winter as hard as bullets, but
the frost left them gradually and they
were not softened nor injured in the
least. You can see that they are
hard and finn in prime condition and
as sweet as if just picked from the
trees. | tried covering with earth,
but this gives them an earthly taste
and spoils the flavor and they rot
much worse when covered with earth
or straw then when merely covered
with boards so that no water reaches
them."
Mr.. Ford has a fine farm south of
Pullman and is one of our most sue.
cessful farmers. He raises large
quantities of vegetables, fruit and
other products in addition to his grain
crop and is strong advocate and prac-
ticioner of the diversified farming idea.
He has 10 acres of bearing orchard
which brings in snug income every
year.

IMPROVEMENTS
Pullman Business Men Improve Their

Valuable additions have been made
to two Pullman business houses this
week, by the addition of more light
Harry Austin, proprietor of the Club
barber shop, has had new front
placed in the building. The old front
was torn out and a new plate glass
front, reaching almost to the side
walk replaces it, This gives much
better view of the interior and adds
much to the appearance of the shop.
The Burgn-Emerson Company cut
hig hole in the wall on the east side
of their building at the end of the
grocery counter and have put in a
big plate glass window, which gives
much needed light for that part of
the store and improves the general
appearance of the interior of the big
store room.

LAND VALUES
GOING UP
Farmers Fear to List their
Lands For Sale. Sos per
Acre Refused

So great is the demand for farm
lands IN the vicinity of Pullman that
farmers have been withdrawing their
lands from the market, fearing that
they will sell for less than the actual
value of the lands. Two cases of this
kind are reported in the last few DAYS.
One farmer was in attendance at a
sale and in conversation with local
real estate agent said: "Sell my
land for $65 per acre and | will step
down and out. "
Two days later the agent called the
farmer up on the rural telephone and
asked if he would allow commission
on that price. He replied that he
would not; that $65 per acre was his
net price and the lowest he would
take. The agent told him that he
would have man there the next day
and it was agreed that 81 per acre
would be added to the price in order
that the agent might get his commits
sion. The farm consisted of 2l8.
The next day the agent drove out,
accompanied by the prosective buyer,
who, after looking over the land, de-
cided to take it and offered a cash
payment of $500 to bind the bargain
and tc pay the remainder, all in cash
as sUon as the abstract was secured
and the deed made out. Then the
farmer backed out and refused to sell
and the prospective buyer, deeply dis
spointed at not being able to get the
land at S66 per acre returned to Pullman
and is still looking for desirable
farm.
The other case is one in which 800
acres of land was listed with local
firm for sale at $50 per acre. The
owner listed it until January 81, but
last week was found buyer who
would pay cash for the entire tract,
but the owner took advantage of the
clause in the listing contract ending
the offer January 81, and would not
let the land go at the price named.
Either of these farms would have been
considered we'll sold at $40 per acre
less than what was offered two years
ago, but today the owners spurn an
offer that was far beyond their fondest
dreams until within the last two years.
Land near other towns is selling for
from sos to 800 per acre and none of
it is better than that offered near
at much less than the prices
obtained in other places. AS was
pointed out in the Herald in a recent
issue land can now be bought near
at a lower price than near
any other town in the Palouse country.
Land has been selling near Rosalia,
Pennington, Garfield and Palouse at
from $65 to $125 per acre for long
time, yet the land is not any better
and much of it is not as good as the
and near Pullman, and it is admitted
1y all that the towns near which this
and is located do not compare with
Pullman in size, Importance or future

KINCAID GETS $500
Former Pullman Citizen is
Awarded Heavy Damages
Against Traction Co.

W. w. Kincaid, for many years a
farmer living near Pullman, won his
suit against the Walla Walla Traction
Company last Monday. The following
special dispatch from Walla WalIa
tells the story:
Walla Walla, Wash. b. March 20.
After extended deliberation this after
noon, a Jury in the case of W. w.
Kincaid vs.. the Walla Walla Traction
company awarded the plaintiff $500.
for injuries received while driving a
city waterwagon last summer. Kincaid
sued for SIS, 900.
At the time he was injured he was
driving filled sprinkler tank at Pa
louise and Whitman streets. In max
ing a turn the hind wheel caught on
rail that projected above the surface,
broke the axle, turning the heavy
tank on the driver and causing d COM
pound fracture of one leg.
An interesting incident connected
with the case was the introduction of
a small wagon which Attorneys RAIDER
and Barker used to show that the turn
could not have been made in the man
ner sworn to by the driver. Attorneys
Sharpstein then showed the jury that
by making an IS" shaped turn in
stead of one turn, the hind wheel
could have been made to track outside.
No notice of appeal has been filed,
but it is probable that the case will
be taken to the higher court.

PULLMAN
CONVENTIONS
Excells All Other Palouse
Country Towns for Large
Gatherings and Sports

Pullman has we'll earned the name
the Convention Town of the Pa
louise. " No other town or city in East
ern Washington excepting, possibly
Spokane, entertans so many conven-
tions and gatherings of people every
year as Pullman. 1t is doubted that
Spokane equals Pullman in number
of conventions although it entertains
some larger gatherings than the col
lege city. But it is admitted that
Pullman entertains more conventions
and gatherings of large crowds for
sports than all of the towns in the
Palouse country combined.
This season will be no exception to
the general rule. Beginning with
April there will be a continued round
of gatherings here until after COM
mencement day at the college. June
20, and then the annual summer
science school for teachers will con-
vene. During April there will be a
number of baseball games. the meet
ing of the regents and board of con-
troll, assembling of architects and con-
tractors and agents for all kinds of
materials and equipment to be used in
the additions to the college. People
from all parts of the state are drawn
here during the spring and summer
by the fetes, games and exercises at
the college. May will be one contin-
ual round of gatherings, for there
will be the great interscholastic field
met when 1000 high school Students
from 35 Eastern Washington high
schools will meet here in the greatest
track meet ever held in the west
This will be followed few days later
by the meeting of the winners of the
eastern and western Washington in
terscholastic meets. when all of the
leading high schools of the state will
be represented.
The great May musical Festival,
the greatest annual event in the state
in music circles. will bring hundreds
of music lovers to Pullman for several
days. Then there will be the usual
number of track meets between W.S.
C. and other schools and colleges of
the northwest and this will be follow
ed by commencement week, which
always brings hundreds of visitors to
the town.
Less than week. after commence
ment the annual summer science
school for teachers opens and will be
in session for six weeks. The attend
ance at this school usually brings 200
and 300 teachers from various parts of
this and neighboring states. who
spend six weeks here and many notable
educators will be drawn to Pullman
during this school.
All of these with the addition of the
contractors. builders, steam filters,
iron workers and other expert mechan-
les who will be employed on the col
lege buildings this summer means that
Pullman is assured of another lively
and profitable summer season.

FARM HOME BURNED
Levi Barton Loses Home by Fire. Mrs.
Barton Sick in Bed at Time.

Barton Sick in Bed at Time.
Monday afternoon the farm home of
Levi Barton, on Wilbur Gulch, about
six miles from Pullman. was burned
to the ground. Mrs. Barton was in
bed suffering with illness when the
fire started, the origin being a mys-
terry. The children were playing about
the yard and Mr.. Barton was at work
in the field. Mrs. Barton although
quite i'll, got up and telephoned to
neighbors. who ran in and assisted in
saving the household goods. Mr..
Barton reached the house soon after
the first alarm, but there was no hope
of saving the building and only a por-
tion of the contents were saved.
The loss will probably reach $500
with but 5000 insurance. This was
carried with the Grange Insurance
company, a fraternal organization
under the management of the State
Grange of Washington.
Mr.. Barton was in town Tuesday
arranging for a residence in which
he will house his family until he can
build another house, work on which
cannot be started until after the spring
crop is in the ground. Mr.. Barton
seems to be peculiarly unfortunate.
this being the third time he has burn
ed out and every time with insurance
covering but a small portion of the
loss.

and Mr.. Reid valued him at more than
$3.50.
