LEST WE FORGET"

That the big banquet of the
Pullman Commercial Club was one
OF the greatest events for the up
building Of the town is admitted
by Pullman citizens and people
throughout the northwest. The
Spokesman-Review pays the town
and club a handsome compliment
III the editorial which is republish-
ed in this issue. A Spokane bust
ness man clipped this editorial out
OF The Spokesman Review and
sent it to the Herald with his com
plimcnts and congratulations upon
the work of the club.
Let us keep this movement in
mind and not forget it in a few
days or a few weeks. The banquet
has brought Pullman prominently
before the public Of the northwest
in a more favorable light than it
has been seer in a long time. II
is the beginning Of harmony with
out which no town can advance
and prosper. 1t is up to us to
keep the movement going, now
that it has been fairly launched
and started in the right directions.
Not only should we meet together
in harmony, but we should be
constantly on the alert TO better
conditions. Personal strife and
bitterness should be relegated to
the rear and if the $50 men who
met at the new Palace Hotel We'd
nesday night of last week, will
work together for the upbuilding
Of Pullman they are bound to at
tain success.

The State Of Idaho is following

pertinent stations throughout the

said that "counterfeiting is the

in all methods of progress. 1t had
the first experiment stations scat
tered through the state; held tho
first farmers Institutes ana ran the
first demonstration trains. That
other states are following its ex-

RECORD CROP AND PRICE
j. w. 0fiield Expects Immense Fruit
Crop and has Sold ut
Record Price

J. w. Ofield, the pioneer fruit
grower of offield's bar, across the
river and two miles below Wawawai,
was in town Monday When seen by
a Herald reporter Mr.. Offield was in
high spirits. Questioned at to the
outlook for fruit he said:
Il have every reason to believe my
yield this year will be the heaviest
have ever had. We have just fin
ished pruning and find the trees in
xcellent condition. None of the fruit
in my orchard was killed and we will
have to thin peaches. apricots and all
of the fruits to keep the trees from
breaking. While an immense amount
of damage has been done i'm many
orchards my orchard has not been
injured in the least. In fact we have
seldom suffered from frosts, our or
chard being peculiarly sheltered and
protected from the cold"
Asked as to the outlook for prices
Mr. Offield said: Il have sold my
crop for this year at an average of
10 cents per box more than | ever
got for fruit. The indications are
for higher prices or buyers would not
be contracting now at such an ad-
vance. | have contracted all of my
fruit crop to White Brothers & Crum
who pay me 10 cents per box above
the highest price | have received in
many years. For me the outlook this
season is exceptionally bright
Mr. Ofield was one of the first
men on Snake river to engage in
commercial fruit growing. He has
an orchard of 20 acres which brings
in an annual income worth many
thousands of dollars. He has sold
as much as $1,000 boxes of fruit
from his orchard in a single season

A number of Pullman citizens
have acted OH the Herald s sug-
gestion Of sending copies of this
paper to friends in the east. A
large number of last week s is
sue were bought by local people
to be sent to friends in other stat
es and this is a worthy example.
1t shall be our aim to publish moth
ing but good about Pullman and
to print a paper that will be an
honor to the town. A newspaper
carrying slurs against citizens
whom the editor does not like,
hurts the town when sent to other
places and conveys the impression
that the town is a place where
fractional fights and personalities
are regarded as of more import
ance than the upbuilding of the
community. We shall aim to have
something in every issue that will
reflect credit upon the town, and
Pullman people can do nothing
better than TO sen several copies
of the Herald to other points each
week.
