LAWLER WILL WEAR
A BRAND NEW HAT
Proves Best Guesser ON Openinp
Price of Different Varieties of
Grain and Wins Headgear
Offered by Herald

U. G. Lawler. representing the In
terror Warehouse company, will wear
brand new S. hat as a consequence
or his good judgment in estimating
the opening prices in Pullman on the
four leading varieties of wheat. The
headgear\ was offered by the Herald
to the grain buyer whose estimate.
made several weeks prior to the
opening of the market on the new
wheat, proved most nearly correct
and Mr.. LAWYERS guess was just
3 "a cents off the opening prices on
the different varieties. r. w. Amos,
local agent for Nj. II. Houser, is sec
ond, with ga cents to the bad.
while the other grain buyers missed
the mark as follows:
c. A. Price, purchasing for the
Ford Grain company, Z "a cents: w.
NJ, Chambers. Independent buyer,
10 Ia cents l.. A. Manning, Kerr
Clifford Co., "a cents; l.. r. Miller.
Campbell-Sanford-Henley Co., Ia
cents; N. f, Gentry, Puget Sound
Warehouse Co., 26 ga cents, and Ira
Nye, 81 "a cents
BY the terms of the contest as pub
lished in the Herald previous to the
grain season, the opening price on
each variety of the four standard
grades of wheat, red Russian, club,
fortyfold and bluestem, was to be de-
termined by the price paid for the
first of that particular variety sold
to any dealer in Pullman The first
red Russian was purchased August
12. and the price paid was SO l-3
cents. The club variety made It's ap-
pearance on the local market Aug
ust >, and the price paid was ga
cents. Fortyfold sold for 66 cents on
August 3rd, and the first bluestem
m arketed in Pullman was on August
%, when T. w. Amos purchased
about 700 sacks from P. S. Lacey, the
price paid being II cents.

PULLMAN TEAM In STATE
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE LEAGUE
Strong Probability That Local High
School Will Be Represented in
State Debating League.

The Pullman high school will prob
ably be represented in the state high
school debating league this year, in
addition to having a team in the
county league. Pullman has never
before entered a team for the state
championship series but has devoted
it's attention to the county debates.
Having won the championship in the
latter series for two successive years
the school now feels able to send a
team against the larger schools.
The state league is divided into
three districts with prominent
educational worker at the head of
each. A prize of $50 is to be given
the winning team in each district
Pullman is in District B, Prof F. O.
Kreager being in charge of this dis
trict.
Tekoa, Colfax, Palouse, Garfield
Spokane and other schools are also
in this division. To Spokane is gen
orally conceded the championship In
this district, but the team from that
school was last year defeated by Ro'
salia, whose team in turn was de-
feated by the county team from the
Pullman high school.
The question selected for the state
league is Resolved, That the Con
servation of Our Natural Resources
Should Be Function of the State
Rather than of the National Govern
ment."
This is the same question used II
the Whitman county series last yeal
and. as the Pullman team won while
upholding both sides, the prospects
for a few victories in the state lea
que are bright.

VINEGAR FACTORY
NEARS COMPLETION
f)perations viii Start About Next
Wednesday. Seasons Output will
Reach 1000 Barrels.

Work on the new vinegar factory
Of the Pullman-Leo Product company
is progressing rapidly and the ma
chinery which was ordered some time
ago is being installed. Practically
all of the machinery is in place and
only small shipment from Spokane
is yet to arrive. 1t is expected that
everything will be in readiness for
the opening of the factory on the 9Th
Of this month. Workmen ake now
erecting three large 14x15 feet
tanks and work will be started the
first of the week putting up the gem
orators.
Mr., j. 0. Leo, manager of the new
factory, stated yesterday that the
output for this year would run from
1900 to 1000 barrels, this, of course,
depending on the fruit crop in the
vicinity. The factory has tank
capacity of 100000 gallons
The managers will not contract for
fruit but will purchase it as it is
brought in. Arrangements have been
made with White Bros. e. Crum, of
Lewiston, and Fish q Co. of Chicago,
however to have the factory supplied
with the Gull fruit from the orchards
Of these two companies.
Mr.. Leo has arranged with the
Idaho Mercantile Co.. of Lewiston,
Idaho, to furnish that company with
vinegar. The Idaho company con
tracted with the local factory only
after they had inspected the product
here and found it to be of much
better quality than they had former
ly secured Several carloads of pas
tuerized fruit products will be ship
ped to Spokane and be put on the
market there. Mr.. Leo is confident
of getting at least his share of the
business in Spokane and other near
by places, he having several carload
shipments to make as soon as the fac
tory is running.
The vinegar from the local factory
will be put up in attractive barrels,
this company being the only one in
this country to have a distinct pack
age for its products. The barrels
will be painted at the factory and
will have the name of the manufac-
turers painted on them. The man
ayers expect this feature to also be
of Importance in securing trade.
From the present outlook the Pull
man-Leo Products company seems to
have an unusually bright future be-
fore it and it will undoubtedly do
great deal in advertising the Artesian
City.
