Attention is called to the new ad-
vertisement of the First National
Bank of Pullman, which appears in
another column of this paper. This
shows a splendid condition, condi-
ton never before equaled at this
season of the year, and proves that
Pullman citizens and the farmers
surrounding the town are prosper
Gus. With deposits of $410,644.90,
and loans and discounts of 1894
ISIS the condition of the bank is
seen, at a glance, to be splendid A
comparison of the deposits for the
same date for the past four years is
interesting On March 30, 1907, the
deposits were $158,651.53. The in
crease in three years is nearly 800
per cent.

Big Bank Deposits.

In another column will be found
the statement of the Pullman State
Bank at the close of business on
March 80. This is fine showing
and proves that our financial insti-
tutions are in splendid condition.
The deposits of this bank are $780,
232.S9, and it has loans and dis
counts showing a profitable bust
ness, the total assets of the bank be-
ing $472,614.34. Under the able
management of J. s. KLEIN gard, act
ing manager, and a strong and con-
serVatiye board of directors, the
bank is in flourishing condition. and
ranks among the strong financial
institutions of the county.
Adding the deposits of the Pull
man State Bank and the First Ma
tional Bank, and a total of more
than 100000 is found. More than
three quarters of a million dollars
in wealth stored in the two banks of
Pullman at a time of year when the
deposits are supposed to reach low
ebb, speaks more than volumes of
written advertisements, for the pros
perity of the best town in the Pa
louise country, and the best farming
section on earth.

PLAN ANOTHER RIFLE CONTEST
Washington State Colleges ViCtori-
Gus Rifle Team Trying to Ar
range Big Meet.

Captain E. F. Emmick, secretary
treasurer of the Washington State
College Rifle Club, which has won
the Am erican Rifle shooting cham
plonship, is now trying to arrange
contest with strictly western
schools and universities, and has
sent a circular letter to II of the
leading schools of the west, ask
ing them to participate. This team
recently won the national champion
ship in a contest in which 45 col
leges participated, making two con-
tests won this year. The first was
with 10 colleges and universities and
is the one in which Idaho protested
the claims of w. S. c., but the pro-
test was thrown out as having no
merit.
Since that time As of the leading
colleges and universiti have had a
contest, in which one days shooting
was held by each and w. S. c., won
with 1852 out of a possible 1000
points. Amherst college, of New
--ampshire, was second with 1912.
Idaho only made 1906, being 46
points behind w. S. c.
Invitations to join in the forma-
ton of rifle contest organization
have been sent to the following
schools; Universities of Arizona.
California, Nevada, Idaho, Washing
ton anw Wyoming; State Agricul-
tural college of Colorado, Kameha-
maha schools of the Hawaii Islands,
New Mexico Agricultural college;
Agricultural College, of Utah and
the Oregon Agricultural college.
These, with w. S. c., would form an
even dozen schools which would par
ticipate in the contest. Captain EN-
mick hopes to receive favorable re-
plies from each of these and to have
a strictly western organization form

Il honestly believe that the gra
old Palouse country is destined
become the great apple product
district of the Northwest" said
Fielding Nader, deputy state 81
erintendent of schools, and we
known in Pullman. where he
connected with the State College f
many years. Mr.. Nader was he
this week, enroute to Charleston al
Asotin, in the interest of the scho
work. He has been travelling over IL
state for several months, and, b.
ing a close observer, has made
study of conditions in all parts
the state. In conversation with TIL
Herald reporter, Mr. Nader said:
81 have visited almost every coun
ty in the state. | have seen the BIZ

have visited the Wenatchee, tho
Yakima, Sunnyside, Prosser. Kenne-
wick and other irrigation belts,
where fruit growing is the leading
industry and | find that none of
these surpass the grand old Palouse
country for the quality of apples.
believe that, taking one year with
another, the yield per tree will be
almost as large here as in the irri-
gated districts and, barring the
coloring, our apples here are as fine
appearing and much better tasting
fruit than that grown under irri ga
ton. Taking the matter of invest
ment, | am fully convinced that the
same amount of m oney, care and at
tention devoted to fruit growing
here will produce better returns than
in the irrigated districts where such
high prices are being paid for land.

tricts Then think how much more
land you can buy here at 500 per
acre than in those districts where
it sells for $1,000 to $4,000. If our
people here would devote the same
amount of work time, care atten-
ton and scientific knowledge to
apple growing as they do in the dis
tricts where land sells for from 10
to 25 times as much per acre, / be-
lieve that the results here would
be astonishing. No one will deny
that the apples grown here are bet

producing districts in the west, and
when that time comes land values
will advance to many times the
prices obtained now"

NJ. w. Evans Returns.

NJ. w. Evans, of Washington, d. c.,
who spent last spring and summer
here, engaged in experimental work
for the government department of
agriculture at the State College
farm, has returned from Washing
ton, where he spent the winter. Mr.
Evans will devote this season to eX-
pertinent work with field peas and
alfalfa seed investigation. He will
have Is acres of the college farm for
his work, and will plant 10 varie'
ties of field peas. He will also devote
some time and space to developing
strains of timothy especially adapted
to eastern Washington soils and
climate. Last year Mr.. Evans made
a great success in raising field peas
and demonstrated this to be one oil
the most profitable crops that car
be grown here.
The State College and experiment
station work in cooperation with the
governm ent experts in striving tC
produce better varieties of grains
and other crops. Bulletins on the re-
suits of Mr.. Evans work will be
printed by the State College for dis
tribution among the farmers of the

Repairing the Railroad.

All the men who can be secured
are at work on the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation company's lines be-
tween ColfaX and Pullman, repairing
the road and trying to get it into
condition for regular trains. But
one train each way, daily, is being
run, and it will probably be several
weeks before the old service of two
daily trains each way is resumed.
The road bed is in bad condition
and slow time must, of necessity.
be made by the trains over the line.
The one train now running is used
as a construction train as we'll as
for passenger and fregh service.
No effort is made to make connec-
tons with the main line trains. II
takes from two to four hours to
make the run of % miles between
Moscow and ColfaX. The mixed train
is used for the distribution of ties
along the road and the passengers
frequently get off and pick butter
cups or walk along beside the train
as it moves slowly along while sec
ton men are throwing off the ties
to be used in reconstructing the
road. 1t takes much patience to ira
vel over this road now, but the of
ficials promise that conditions will
be improved as fast as possible.

AL. REANY DEAD
PIONEER OF PULLMAN DIES
SUDDENLY AT BREWESTER,
WASH, FUNERAL NEXT SUN
DAY.

AL Reaney is dead. This an
nouncement will bring sorrow to
hundreds of citizens of Pullman and
vicinity who knew and loved and re-
spected the pioneer who probably
did more than any other man for
the upbuilding of Pullman. Reany S
addition is the best residence sec
ton of Pullman and Reaney's park,
presented by Mr.. Reaney, who plant
ed the trees, arranged the ground
and dedicated the park to the pub
lie, is one of the beauty spots of
the Palouse country. In his death
the state has lost noble and public
spirited citizen and hundreds who
knew him intimately have lost a
staunch and valued friend
The cause of his death has not
been learned. He was here less than
two weeks ago and emed in excel
lent hath. He returned to his home
at BREWSTER, Wash, and the first
known that he was i'll was when a
telegram was received here an
nouncing his death. He died sudden
ly last Sunday. The body will be
shipped to Pullman and the funeral
will be held from the Christian
church at o'clock Sunday after
noon. The Odd Fellows will have
charge of the services. Mr.. Reaney
was a member of the local Odd Eel
lows lodge for 2S years, having join
ed at Pullman in 1882.
Just when Mr.. Reaney came to
what is now Pullman, the Oldest
settler cannot tell, but it was more
than 80 years ago when he took a
homestead where college Hill
residence district is now located, and
this included the land where the park
stands and where Mr.. Reaney'
fine home, now owned by ]. S. Klein
gard, was built by him many years
ago. During the hard times follow
ing the panic, Mr.. Reaney lost most
of his property and he left Pullman
and went to the Okanogan country
where he engaged in the cattle bust
ness. He later went to Brewster
and secured some land, and only re-
Gently got out of debt. On his last
visit to Pullman he announced to a
friend that he had quit paying inter
est, the first time in As years.
The death of Mr.. Reaney will
bring genuine sorrow to hundreds
of his old time friends, for he was
a man whom to know was to love,
and we are all better for having
known him. The funeral next Sun
day will, no doubt, be largely attend
ed. lnterment will be in the Odd Eel
lows cemetery. Mr.. Reaney leaves a
Wife but no children. His mother
tiand two brothers, Frank and An
drew and his sister, Mrs. Marion
Spawn, survive him.

John Melvin Buys Land.

John Melvin has bought the G. w.
Nessly tract Of 65 acres adjoining
Pullman on the northwest. In fact,
portion of the land is within the
city limits, there being nearly 10
acres in the city. The land lies in
Farr's first, second and third adj
ditions and was plated, at one time,
and lots sold there for as high as
$500 each, in the boom" days,
when the Military college of General
Walker was established on Military
hill Most of the land lies well, and
it is all fertile farming land, with
the exception of few rocky points
and a small amount of scab, there
being probably five acres of waste
land on the entire tract. Mr.. Mel
vim plans to improve the land and
make it valuable tract 1t has been
plated into tracts varying from
five to eight acres and will be an
ideal place for suburban acreage for
homes and fruit tracts.
The price paid was only 500 per
acre, and Mr.. Melvin took possession
of the land this morning and will at
once begin improving it. There is
nearly 40 acres in alfalfa and the re-
mainder is good pillow land, which
has been in grain for the past few
years. The land lies in strip a lit
tie more than half a mile long and

WANT DEMONSTRATION TRAINS.
railroads Anxious To Run Trains
Through Farming Sections
Again This Year.

That the farm demonstration train
opreateG by Washington State Col
lege and the railroads last year and
the year before resulted i'm great
good to the agricultural interests of
the state, is the claim of the railroad
companies, and it is desired that
more trains and more extensive work
be done this year than ever before
Professor II. w, Thatcher, director
of the experiment station and head
of the agricultural department of
the State College, is being urged by
the railroad people to announce dates
for operating trains over both the
Northern Pacific and Oregon Rail-
road & Navigation company lines.
r, b. Miller, general freight agent
Of the @. X. & ~, has written me
four times, urging that we run
trains over his roads and offering
every inducement that the railroad
can put forth" said Professor
Thatcher. "Now, the Northern Paci-
fic is urging that trains be run over
its lines and all declare that great
results which have been highly be-
neficial to the agricultural interests,
were secured by the efforts of for
mer years. ! don't know what to
do about ii. We have so much work
that we cannot spare the men now.
but hope that after the college
closes in June to be able to send
trains over all of the roads. The
farmers want these trains; the rail
roads are anxious to furnish them
and assist in the work and we are
anxious to supply the lectures and
the exhibits, but it seems impossible
to do this now"
In the past two years a great
awakening among farmers, fruit
growers, dairymen and stockmen has
resulted from the efforts of Wash
ington State College in holding farm
ers institutes and running farm de
monstration trains through the agri-
cultural sections. The farmers turn
ed out by the thousands to see the
exhibits, hear the lectures and learn
from the experts employed by the
college, how to improve conditions
on the farm. The results of these les
sons is seen throughout the farm ing
section The farms are better till
ed, better crops are produced and the
soil is being replenished and better
farming methods used, as a result of
the teachings carried to the farmers
doors by the late College an expert
ment station. Thousands of acres
of corn will be planted this year as
direct result of the boys corn grow
ing contest conducted by the State
College and the railroads last year.
Farms are being cultivated more in
diligently and better crops are be-
ing raised as a result Better live
stock is being kept on the farms and
better conditions exist in the agri-
cultural districts as a result of the
demonstration trains and the edu-
cational work along agricultural
lines conducted by the college in
past years.
