MIR. HARRIGAN's DEATH

The death of MT. Hartman, an- nouncement of which was held back until after the closing of the stock market, was not unex- pected. It was predicted that he came back from Europe, not for rest as al- legged, but to die at home. He was evidently victim of too great activ- ity-the pressure of his countrywide plans was too heavy.

ASK NEW TIME CARD
Pullman Commercial Club Asks
Change of Time on o. II. q n.
and New Card on n. =.

A petition addressed to the Off
cials of the Northern Pacific railroad
has been prepared by the Pullman
Commercial Club and will be pre-
sented soon. The petition asks that
the old train service in operation on
this branch two years ago be rein
stated. That service consisted of
three trains each way daily. One
train left Moscow early in the morn
ing and ran through to Spokane, re-
turning that evening, thus giving an
opportunity to go to Spokane and
return the same day.
Another train yeft Lewiston in the
morning on about the same time as
No 10 while another left Spokane
in the morning at about the same
time as No. leaves. Two other
trains left Lewiston and Spokane
at 11o'clock at night and passed
Pullman at 2:40 and o'clock a. M.
This is the service the club wishes
to have reinstated. The petition is
signed by many commercial travel
ers as well as business men.
A petition is also being prepared
and will be presented to the o. r.
& n. company asking that the train
be delayed at Moscow so that people
coming from Spokane to Moscow on
the electric line may make connec-
tions with the o. r. G. N trains for
Pullman.

By Thomas Neil
Address delivered at the
Commercial Club
Banquet

Prior to moving, Mr.. True com
menced boring for water, and struck
the artesian basin, and when the
water came up and spurted in the
air about ten feet every citizen real
lied that the town was bound to
reach the 1890 mark in few years.
For the next two years Fullman's
artesian water was advertised in
every available manner, and was the
one great asset depended upon to
build he town
The town. was fairly started on the
road to prosperity when in 1890
the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany commenced to build line from
Whelan to Lewiston, leaving Pull
man on the Genesee branch, and it
looked as if there was no hope for
us, and to add to our adversely the
entire business portion of the town
burned on July 3, 1890.
Business men intended to move
to Whelan, and the prediction was
freely made that Pullman was doom
ed and would never be as good as it
had been. At this critical juncture,
DIR. Webb f. II. Letterman and my
self prepared and sent out to the
President of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company, and also to the
General Freight Agent, a telegram,
which in substance was that the To-
cal officials of the road were build
ing the branch from Whelan for
their own personal gain and sacri-
ticing the best interests of the COM
pany. and that the matter should be
Investigated, and the work on the
Whelan branch stopped until the in
vestigation was made, and that if
the road was built from Pullman,
that We would guarantee between
Pullman and Moscow, more freight
than any ten miles of their entire
system. These kilograms appeared
to the agent so ridiculous that he
by young man who was not in
the employ of the company, and to
our delight, we received answers
the following day, stating that the
matter would be looked into. and as
evidence of their good intentions
work was ordered stopped at
Whelan. In about a week from that
time We were told to secure a right
Of way from Pullman to Moscow,
which was done, and then we were
told that we would have to secure
about five acres of ground in Mos
COW for depot grounds. In view
of the fact that Moscow was doing
all in her power to promote the
road from Whelan and had made
concessions of free depot grounds
and right of way from Whelan to
Moscow this requirement seemed
to be made to put the blame on Pull

RAILROAD COMMISSION
COMING NEXT MONTH
City to be Honored With a Visit From
the Entire Membership

The state Railroad Commission
will visit Pullman some day in Nav.
Every member of the commission
Will be here and may remain several
days. The board is now on a tour of
inspection of all the railroads in the
state and will come to the Palouse
country some time next month. In
fact the members will be here twice,
for they are making separate in
spection of each line of road in the
state and will come here first over
the Nohthern Pacific and after go
ing to Moscow will return to Pull
man and go from here over the
Genesee branch of that road.
Later the commission will inspect
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company's lines and will come to
Pullman on the Colfax-Moscow
branch of that road. The exact
dates OF the visits are not known
at this time, but Com missioner Law
renee has promised to notify Pull
man people through the Herald and
the commissioners want to meet
every one who has any complaint to
make against any of the railroads
in this state
The object of the trip is to in
spect every mile Of road in this state
and to meet the patrons of these
roads at their home towns and hear
any complaints of poor service or
other grievances which patrons may
have against the railroads. The com
missioners are coming direct to the

towns and asking them to make

the O. K. & ~, and one each over
the Electric and Northern Pacific
roads. The four trains of 1908
made a total of II stops and the
average attendance at each of these
stops was 1856, and the total for the
n stops was 1,910.
So far, in 1909, two demonstra-
tion trains have been run and these
have made 33 stops in Washington.
The average attendance at the 80
stops was 407, as compared with 1876
last year, and the total for the 33
stops was 13,425, as compared with
11,910 for II stops in 1908. The
grand total of attendance at the de-
monstration train visits for the two
seasons reaches the total of 25,335.
Dairy Schools
In addition to these works for
the interest of agriculture there
have been the regular short courses
for farmers in the winter which
have been held at the college in Pull
man. The dairy course has been one
of the most important, having held
three terms of 10 sessions each, a
total of 80 sessions. The average
attendance per session was AZ and
the grand total of attendance for
the 80 sessions was 1854, making
grand total of attendance at the
institutes, demonstration trains and
dairy schools, for three seasons, So
21&.
That this number of people from
the rural districts should be visit
ed by the institute or experiment
station staff or should come to Pull
man to secure educational advantage
es on agricultural topics, gives an
idea of the vast amount of work that
is being done by Washington State
College in the matter of educating
the farmer and improving conditions
in the rural districts. With insreas-
ed facilities the work is to be en-
larged and the scope of usefulness
extended in many directions in the
next two years. That the farmers
appreciate this work that is being
done for them is proven by the in
creased interest shown.

FARM HOME BURNED
AIan Riley, Pioneer Farmer, Looses
House and Household Goods
By Fire Tuesday

Tuesday afternoon the country
home of Allen Riley, near Whelan,
was destroyed by fire. Mr.. and Mrs.
Allen were at home, but the fire is
said to have caught in the roof and
the upper part of the house was
mass of flames when discovered.
Nothing could be done to save the
building and it was with difficulty
that one bed was saved. There was
no insurance.
Mr.. Riley is one of the pioneers
of that section, having taken the
land on which he lived as a home
stead in 1877. A portion of the
house burned Tuesday was the ori-
ginal homestead house, but several
additions had been made to it. The
fire is supposed to have caught
from defective flue.
