PULLMAN POSTOFFICE
INSTALLS CANCELER
only Machine of Its Kind i'm Whit
man County Is Installed i'm Uncle
Sans Local Establishment.

An automatic stamp canceler and
back stamping machine was this
week received by the Pullman
postotiice from the postal depart
ment. The machine is one of the
latest and most up-to-date models
and greatly facilitates the work in
the postofiice. 1t is the only stamp
canceler in Whitman county and was
granted by the postal department up
on the showing by Postmaster Allen
that the local office handles a sufflc-
lent amount of mail to warrant its in
stallation. The proceeds of the Pull
man pOstoffice for the last quarter
in 1910 were greater by big margin
than those of any other postoffice in
the county. This was the first time
in the history of the two towns that
the receipts of the local postoffice
had exceeded those of ColfaX.

A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
MAY BE INSTALLED
Firemcn Change Plans of System,
Which VIII Reduce Cost to $500
Adoption by City Council
Probable.

In all probability the plans of the
fire department for a fire alarm sys-
TEN will be adopted by the city coun-
Gil at the next meeting of that body
The original plans of the department
were for the installation of tele-
phone in the home of each member
of the fire company and at the fire
stations on the different hills, the
alarms to be turned in from the CEN
trail office of the telephone company.
This system would have cost in the
neighborhood of $500 and was not
favored by the councilmen.
The system now proposed by the
fire department, and which is meet
ing with much favor at the hands of
the city dads, is for the installation
Of four-inch electric bells at the
homes of the fremen, with large
gongs at the fire stations. A code of
signals would be arranged for the
different hills and the business sec
ton and as soon as a fire broke out
the location would be communicated
to the fremen by means of the code,
different rings representing the vari-
ous parts of town. The proposed
system would be so arranged that the
alarm could be turned in from the
telephone central Office, from the
city hall or from any of the fire sta
tions
The estimated cost of the system is
about $500, or $500 less than the
cost of the first proposition submitted
by the fremen The city council
has turned the matter over to the
fire and water committee, which win
report at the meeting next Thursday
eve ming.

Colfax, Wash, Feb S.-The re-
ducing of the salaries of county Of
ticers by the Whitman county COM
missioners caused a clash in the pro-
scouting attorneys Office Tuesday,
when Paul Pattison, the newly cleo
ted prosecutor, offered the commits
sioners his resignation.
Mr.. Pattison was elected on the
democratic ticket with the county in
the seventh class. The commissi on
ers put the salaries back to the
eighth class, reducing Pattisons sal
airy $500 a year
Mr.. Pattison gave the commission
ers choice of three plans. He told
them they could pay him the salary
he was elected to get, give him a
deputy at 500 a month or accept his
resignation.
The commissioners allowed the
deputy at 500 a month.
Mr.. Pattison was elected on a plat
form agreement that he would run
the office without the cost of dep
uty. The county officers put in
claims for their regular salaries to-
day and are expected to protest if
the claims are not allowed in full.

Do NOT LIKE ACTION.
OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Proposition of County Commissioners
for New Enumeration to Decide
Class of County Does Not Please
Farmers.

The action of the county commits
the effect that new census be taken
by the county assessor and his depu-
ties at the time the assessment for
taxes is taken in the spring of 1911,
for the purpose of determining the
class of the county, is not agreeable
to the Farmers Union and Grange.
These orders have taken an active
part in the scrap to decide whether
Whitman county remains in the sew
enth class or is reduced to the eighth
class and they condemn the action
of the commissioners as unfair and
unjust.
The members of the farmers Or
CARNATIONS base their refusal to &C
cept the proposition of the commits
sioners upon the ground that the pro-
posed census would be taken by par
ties whose salaries would be affected
by the lowering of the class of the
county The resolution as adopted
by the commissioners and presented
to the committee from the Farmers
Union, reads as follows:
Whereas, There is a difference Of
opinion as to whether the salaries of
officers of Whitman county should be
paid in accordance with the salaries
allowed the officers of a seventh or
eighth class county, under the laws
of Washington, and the board believ-
ing that there is a reasonable ground
for doubt in the matter recommends
and authorizes the county assessor to
enumerate the inhabitants of the
county by and with the assistance of
the deputy assessors at the time of
the assessment for the taxes is taken
in the spring of 1911; and further
ut is ordered that all salaries be
paid in accordance with the compen-
sation as provided in counties of the
eighth class until such enumeration
is completed"

The resolution was adopted by the
commissioners by vote of two to
one, Chairman Samuel Ellis and A.
p. Miller voting for it and M. w.
Whitlow registering his vote against
the resolution. Prosecuting Attor-
torney Pattison was called upon for
an opinion in regard to the legality
of the proposition and stated that he
considered the resolution within the
powers of the commissioners.
Several members of the Farmers
Union were present at the meeting of
the county commi ssioners, Pullman
local being represented by J. S. Klein
gard.

The good old stars and stripes will
soon be waving from the flag staff of
every school house in the vicinity of
Pullman. A. B. Baker always
friend to the old soldier, has made
this possible by his donation to the
local members of the G. A. R. of
flags in sufficient quantity to supply
every district within a radius of 10
miles of this city. These flags will
be distributed by the old soldiers to
the various school boards with the
request that they be foated from
every school house.
The first flag will be placed on the
school house at Evansville next
Monday. On that day the old sold
iers and their champion, Mr.. Baker,

SPECIAL COOKING CLASS
At STATE COLLEGE
Domestic Science Department OF
State College Announces Special
Saturday Glass for Farm
Women.

The domestic science department
of the State College plans a new line
Of work beginning on Saturday of
this week, February 18th. All farm
women who are in town on that day
are requested to go up to the domes-
tic science building at II o'clock,
where Miss MacKay and Miss Hunt
will conduct for them special cook
ing class demonstrations and lee
lures. The work will last from II in
the morning until about 3 in the af-
ternoon. Luncheon will be served
at the building so the ladies need
not go down town for dinner. Miss
MacKay is making a special effort to
plan this class to make it of practical
benefit to the women who are manag-
ing farm homes and farm kitchens.
If sufficient interest is shown, these
classes will be conducted on every
other Saturday. The ladies who at
tend will have the privilege of say
ing what the work is to be, inasmuch
as the department desires to take up
lines of cooking in which the ladies
themselves are most interested and
wish information.
In order to get the work started a
few personal letters have been sent
out, asking the receivers to make a
special effort to attend the class this
week. 1t was impossible to send let
ters to all the women in the COM
munity and it is wished that every
farm woman will feel free to come
and to bring with her a friend if
convenient. The work will be inter
esting and worth while. The class is
planned for Saturday because more
of the women are in town on that
day than any other in the week. Miss
! MacKay wishes to arrange the classes
so that the ladies will have plenty of
time to do their Saturday shopping,
and vet make the class period long
enough for them to really accomplish
something in the way of cooking ex-
periments.
The work will be conducted in the
regular laboratory and every lady
present will try out for herself the
recipes given and at the same time
have opportunity to ask as many ques-
lions as she may wish regarding any
particular problem which she is
trying to solve in her own kitchen.
No town women are invited for
the reason that they are convenient
to the college and can take advantage
of it whenever they wish. This is
not true of the farm women, and ac-
cordingly this special class is planned
entirely for their benefit. 1t Is
hoped that the ladies of the farming
community about Pullman will show
their interest by coming in and let
ting the department know what kind
of work they wish.

DEDICATION RECITAL ON
LEWISTON ORGAN
DIR. Ernest A. Evans and Prof. GittIe-
son, of the State College Faculty,
Delight Large Lewiston
Audience.

The music lovers of Lewiston were
afforded an unusually delightful treat
on the evening of Feb. 3rd, when the
congregation of the First NJ. Il.
adjoining towns heard for the first
time the inspiring tones of the new
pipe organ recently installed by the
w. w. Kimball Company of Chicago.
While the instrume nt is somewhat
smaller than our own college organ,
those who have seen it pronounce it,
with single exception, the finest in
the Inland Empire, outside of Spo-
kane.
The committee in charge of the
purchase and installation, after due
consideration, paid us an appreciated
compliment by inviting DR.. e. A
Evans to dedicate the new instru-
ment, the first pipe organ ever built
in the Lewiston country. And it was
dedicated in such mastery manner
as will not be forgotten by those
whose good fortune it was to hear
the program.
DR.. Evans was assisted by Profess
sor Gittleson on the violin, and for
two hours the large and appreciative
audience listened to program, con-
sidered by many of those who heard
it, as one of the most delightful
musical entertainments ever given in
Lewiston. Both men were in excel
lent form, and the playing of each
was refreshingly free from any show
of affectation or attempt to play to
the galleries.
The opening numbers were, in the
case of each performer, characterized
by more or less mechanical stiffness,
due in great measure to the fact that
they had no opportunity to acquaint
themselves with the sound and touch
of the new instrument and the effect
of a strange auditorium. Judging
from the enthusiasm and apprecia-
ton shown by the audience, such
blemishes as might have been evident
to an observer familiar with the style
of either DR.. Evans or Professor
Gittleson, were apparently quite I'M
noticed by those who on this occas-
ion heard them for the first time.
The first number on the program
was an overture, one of DR. Evans
own compositions, which, from the
standpoint of real art compared very
favorably with the overtures of bet
ter known composers. This was fol-
lowed by a triple number on the or
gan, the first part of which was one
of the most beautiful of all the or
gan selections, and was rendered
with rare interpretative power. The
second selection was the Bacarolle
by Offenbach, followed by the Pre-
lude to Act III of Wagner's Lohen-
grin. In his rendition of this beau
tiful prelude it became apparent to
all that back OF an excellent, almost
