the only public function which the ex
plorcr will attend until the North poll
controversy is settled. 1t was bril-
liant affair and some 400 citizens frorn
Portland and South Portland were
present.
Although seemingly worn out from
his long railroad journey from North
Sydney, c. b., the dauntless Arctic
traveller sat at the head table, the CEN
ter of attraction, with a contented
happy smile lighting up his careworn
face
1t was but an hour before midnight
when the guests sat down. The hall
was tastefully decorated with red,
white and blue. and band stationed
in balcony enlivened the scene with
patriotic airs. In the center of the
head table rested a snow white candy
image representing the North pole with
the Stars and Stripes flying from it's
apex while all about little white snow
men were dragging miniature sledges.
The menus contained photographs of
Peary and the Far Northland.
Commander Peary sat at the center
Of the head table clad in the same neat
blue suit, which he wore at the recep-
ton. An unexpected ovation was ac-
corded the man who is at home at last
while the banquet was in progress.
AS he started to leave the hall a great
cheer began and as he passed between
the tables he was cheered again and
again.

CHURCHES FRATERNEZE
Methodist and Christian Organizations
Continue Friendly Relations.

The friendly relations which have
existed so long between the congrega-
tions of the Methodist and Christian
churchs of Pullman continues to be
cemented and proves that there is no
rivalry nor i'll feeling because of de-
nominationalism between the churches
of Pullman. When the Methodists
sold their old church building and were
waiting for the new edifice to be
built, the Christians showed that they
are we'll named by offering to share
their magnificent church building with
the Methodists and for many months
the two congregations wUrshipped to-
gether. Now that each has a fine
church builling the relations which
were formed while both were occupy
ing the same house. continue.
Thursday afternoon the Ladies Aid
Society of the Methodist church enter
tanned the ladies of the Christian
church at an "at home" in the base
ment of the new Methodist church
which has a fine ladies parlor fitted
up for just such purposes. The affair,
while largely informal. was one of the
pleasant events of the season.
Friday evening the Epworth League
of the Methodist church entertained
the Christian Endeavor of the Chris
tian church in the basement of the
Methodist church and an enjoyable
time was had. proving that cit is

missed

COLLEGE BOOK
STORE IS SOLD
J. H. Greaves & Son, of Gen
esee, Buy Two-thirds In
terest in Business.

The Pullman Stationery and Drug
Company has sold two thirds-interest
in its drug and stationery business,
known as "The College Book Store"
and the Corner Drug Store" to G. J.,
and J. H. Greaves of Genesee, Idaho
Grant Clark will retire from the busi-
ness here but Ira Clark retains a one
third interest. In the. deal Ira Clark
takes the drug and stationery business
of Greaves and Son at Genesee, Idaho,
as part payment for the business here.
Grant Clark is now at Genesee look
ing after the store there and Mr..
Greaves and his son are here arrang-
ing for the invoice of the business.
Probably no business in Pullman is
better known than the one which is
about to change hands. Clark Brothers
have had charge of the business for
many years and it has increased from
a small beginning to a business of
mammoth proportions during their
management. Greaves and Son are
both we'll known here and will be well
coined to Pullman. The deal is now
being closed and the transfer will be
made as soon as all the preliminary
details can be arranged.

Fred Humphries Arrested

The grand jury at Colfax returned
an indictment against Fred Humphries
of Pullman, charging him with garnd
larceny for the alleged theft of num-
ber of sacks of sugar from Frank Bur-
net of this place. Humphries was ar
rested about two months ago. but R..
H. Kipp who was then prosecuting
attorney, ordered the case dismissed
for lack of evidence. " The grand
jury investigated and decided it had
sufficient evidence to return an in
dictment and Humphries was arrested
and taken to Colfax where he gave
bonds for his appearance in court
when the case is called for trial.
