LONGEST MACADAM ROAD
IN WHITMAN COUNTY
FulIman Farmers Build Mile of
Macadam Road West of Town,
Completing Three and
Half-mile Stretch.

Pullman has the longest macadam
road in Whitman county, the mile
stretch recently constructed by the
farmers west of town completing a
stretch of tirst-class macadam road
three and a half miles long. The
road was macadamized from Main
street to the Savage place several
years ago and the recently construc-
/ ted highway is from the Savage
1 cornor to the Bloomfield place. The
Improvement was made possible by
cash subscriptions and labor by the
farm ers themselves.
Robt. G. Lyle, of the Evansville
district, and incidentally one Of the
best boosters in the Palouse country,
was behind the project, and in one
| afternoon secured pledges from the
farmers of sum sufficient to macad-
amize a full mile of road To get
the work started J. S. Klemgard
pledged 5000 and A. E. Olson, A. F.
Carruthers, Nat Bryant, r. G. Lyle,
Joe Robertson, G. o. Kellogg, Max
Hinrichs, the P. c. |. ranch, and
Walter Snyder 500 each, but after
the Improvement was assured other
farmers subscribed cash and labor,
which materially cut down the sub
scription of the first ten.
The entire expense, with the ex-
ception of the cost of crushing the
rock, which was done by the county
crusher, was borne by the farmers.
Five hundred loads of crushed rock
were required to complete the work,
the macadam being laid eight inches
deep. Twelve days were consumed
in crushing the rock and from twelve
to fifteen teams were required to
haul the rock as fast as it was
crushed. The total cost of macad-
amizing the road a trife less than
mile, was $908.5O.
The farmers who worked out all
or a part of their subscription were
paid at the rate of 81 a load for
man and team, four and five loads
being hauled by each team every
day. The work was under the SUI
pervision of Robt. Lyle.
The subscribers, with the amount
subscribed, were as follows:

Clarkson Bros Store Robbed

Burglars entered the Clarkson
Bros store last Saturday night and
made a successful getaway after re-
lieving the cash register Of $25.25.
Entrance was gained through an up
store. The burglars reached the
window by means Of the sheds in the
rear Of the store and crawled
through between the bars on the
window. The bars are only about
eight inches apart, and the burglars
must either have been excellent con-
tortionists or very much understood.
There Is no clue to the perpetrators
of the burglary.

ASK LOWER FREIGHT RATE
ON PALOUSE APPLES
Fruit Growers and Dealers Of Whit
man County Ask O.-W. II. s.
N. Company for Lower Rate
on Apples to Eastern
Points.

The following request for lower
freight rate on Palouse country APP
pies shipped to Eastern points has
been sent, through the Pullman
Chamber of Commerce, to the Cen
eral Freight Agent of the Oregon
Wash gton Railroad & Navigation
Company:
General Freight Agent. O.-W. r. G
/ N. Co.
I'VE hereby present you request
from the fruit growers and dealers
OF Whitman county for lesser rate
on greater minimum weight per
carload of apples from Whitman
county and the Palouse country, to
Chicago, New York, Boston and the
Atlantic sea board. From the ex-
/ periences of the past, your petition
ers have the following figures to Of
fer:
There was shipped from the Pa
louise country, or more strictly from
Whitman county, in the year 1910,
336 cars of apples. This represents
about one-half the total yield. or
this 1886 cars at least 60 per cent
went to Chicago and Eastern points.
On basis of 10000 minimum, at the
rate Of $1.00, this SO per cent pro-
duced a revenue for the railroads Of
$50, $4,000. These figures are based
upon carrying $40 boxes, 48 1-2
pounds per box, or $1,000 pounds to
the car.
I'VE claim that II there had been
a rate OF IS cents on a 10000 mini
mum that at least the same number
OF cars would have been shipped,
and that the increased shipment Of
tonnage would have yielded a rev.
enue to the railroads OF $4,000, or
net increase of $4,000. This
would give the grower and the
dealer an opportunity to market at
least one-fourth more of his crop,
and we believe that they would be
pleased to load the cars to a capa-
city of 10000 pounds.
I'VE further claim that this would
tend to encourage the grower to
give more care, and thus to produce
more and better stock. We are seek
ing to encourage and to establish
| the apple industry in this section Of
| the country Our apples will keep
longer can be shipped farther, and
are of a much better flavor than are
the apples of the irrigated sections.
! We do not ask you to cut out the
| S1.00 rate and the 10000 minimum
car, as we consider this rate neces-
sary to take care of the small car
load buyer. But we do ask you to
give the Palouse grower as much
consideration as you give the Yaki-
ma Valley grower and dealer, and
we are convinced that a rate of 50
cents is actually necessary to put our
apples on the market in Boston and
Eastern points. 1t will take care of
one-third more of our present crop.
1t will increase the output; 1t will
increase the revenue to the railroad,
and it will, we believe, help to do
away with the shortage of refriger-
ator cars by the loading to the full
carrying capacity"

In speaking of the matter OF road
improvement to the Herald man, Mr..
Lyle said:
1.-THE farmers are always ready and
willing to subscribe money toward
the improvem of the public high
ways. The subscription list for the
road Just recently completed had not
been in my hands a half day until
the success of the project was as
sured. A very significant fact in
connection with the subscriptions for
this road was the large number of
renters of farms who willingly sub
scribed cash and labor toward the
Improvement. We kept close ac-
count of every detail Of the work OF
matchmaking the road in the hope
that our figures might assist other
localities in getting basis on which
to estimate the probable cost.
While the total cost to US was
$908.50 It must be taken into con-
sideration that a large amount OF
the crushed rock had to be hauled
three miles and half A shorter
haul would considerably decrease
the expense on that item"

GRAIN MEN ESTIMATE
ON OPENING PRICE
opinion of Pullman Grain Dealers
Differ to as to Opening Quota
lions on New Crop of Grain
Herald Offers Prize.

Opinions of Pullman grain dealers
differ considerably in their estimates
or the opening quotations on the diff
ferent kinds of grain. Below are
given the estimates of the different
d callers and the Herald will give a
% hat to the tuyer whose estimate
proves most nearly correct. The
price paid for the first load of 1911
grain sold in Pullman to any dealer
will be taken as the opening price on
that particular kind of grain. AS
several of the buyers made no esti-
mate on oats, barley and hay, the
four standard breeds of wheat only
Will be considered In awarding the
prize, and the dealer whose estimate
on these kinds of wheat averages
closest to the price paid for the first
load of each kind will get the hat.
In cases where the dealer has
quoted a range of price (for instance
so to 65c) the average of the two
extremes will be taken as his esti-
mate. The market on the 1911 crop
will probably open about August 1.

AVIATION STILL LARGELY
TRUSTING LUCK.

An article on the flying machine
printed a short time ago pointed out
that the greatest danger that now
confronts the aviator who does not
court death by doing stunts" in the
air is defective piece in the ma
chine. Tuesday at the Chicago meet
two men were killed, both accidents,
it is said, being due in all probability
to "some unexpected flaw" in the
machine.
Possibly death and disaster are neces-
sary accompaniments of the develop
ment of any science so new and so
hazardous as that of flying through
the air; but it does seem that many
of the accidents that are now wit
messed might be avoided. Certainly
they should lead to more care in
building and in testing the machines
after they are built. The strain upon
them must be terrific. Yet there
seems to be little attention paid to
testing them out after flights. Avia-
tion, as yet, is largely trusting to luck

whole spirit of Socialism in a nutshell.
Rev. DR.. Kent was wont to say that
Socialism was nothing more nor less
than true Christianity made possible in
our everyday life and business, a line
of politics that was as we'll adapted to
the office and country house as the
home, the church and the pulpit. Any
minister OF the Gospel who is sincerely
filled with the love of God and hu-
manity, and who devoutly believes in
the teachings of Jesus, who has the
courage to study Socialism, will newt
ably arrive at the same conclusion and
will preach Socialism as the answer
to the Lords Prayer. come to US in
these latter days. Socialism is the
lule of God against the rule of gold
Many ministers are preaching 1t as
such. L. p. WILD.

MRS. LINCoLN'S COSTUME
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The semi centennial of the first year
of the civil war has revived the recol,
lection of many interesting and stirring
scenes, but in this general connection
an incident of q different character is
recalled today. 1t was just fifty years
ago that the wife of President Lincoln
made her first appearance at social
function of real magnitude, and the
newspapers of that day were filled with
descriptions of the manner in which
the first lady of the land conducted
herself, how she was received, and,
most impressive of all, what she wore.
She had journeyed up to Long
Branch, which was one of the leading
resorts of the war period, and on the
evening of her arrival, August II, 1861,
dance was given at the Mansion
House (which assumed the proportions
of a ball. Pictures of her in the cos
tune she wore, taken by the civil war
photographer, Brady, vividly recall the
reign of crinoline which distinguished
the period of our grandmothers, and
bring home to us the fact that the
extravagances of fashion are not CON
fined to the age of the jupe- -culotte, the
sheath gown, and the hobble- skirt.
The amplitude of the skirt, extended
by hoops which gave the wearer the
appearance of an inflated balloon, must
have made it extremely difficult for
any great number of couples to dance
on the average ball room floor. In
point of fact, Mrs. Lincoln did not
dance, but when she entered the ball
room she wore-as the chroniclers of
the times inform us-"an elegant robe
of white grenadine, with a long, flow
ing train, the bottom of the skirt
pulled with quillings of white satin"
Her arms and shoulders were bare, ex-
cept for an elegant point lace shawl
which was thrown over her shoulders.
She wore a necklace and bracelets of
pearls, and a headdress of wreathe,l
white wild roses. In short, she was
the most richly and completely dressed
woman in the room.
The whirligig of fashion spun
around less rapidly in those days than
now, when the means of communica-
ton with Paris and London are so
much more rapid, so the reign of the
hoop-skirt extended far into the post
bellum period. The woman of today
would look aghast at such a costume
but so would have the women at Long
Branch on that August night fit
years ago if anyone had appeared in
any of the clinging gowns which the
present day regards as supremely
nodish.
The study of the civil war period is
giving us light on q great many things
besides siepes and battles

she was there as a delegate Of the
Universal Peace Union.
From that time until this she has
missed few of the meetings of the
big peace congresses, and in Septem-
Der next she will go to Rome as dele
gate TO the meeting of the Peace Bu-
reau.
When Mrs. Lockwood attended the
Paris conference in 1889 she made one
OF the opening speeches in French. In
this speech was embodied the thought,
first suggested to her by Alfred H.
Love, which she Incorporated in the
form of a resolution she presented to
the then Senator, afterward Secretary,
Sherman, and subsequently to President
Hayes This resolution, quoted by An
drew Carnegie IN the deed of gift to the
Peace Foundation, was passed by both
houses of Congress February 4, 1885, but
was not ratified until June 5, 1890.
