Cost OF Living Scars.

The cost Of living in Pullman has
evidently entered into a contest with
the famous aviators to see which
can attain the highest altitude and
from present prospects it appears
that it would be a safe bet to place
your money on the cost of living.
Milk, which for the past year has
been sold for cents a quart by To-
cal dairymen, was advanced to s IL
cents the first of the year. Wood is
selling at $3.50 per cord, the highest
price ever paid in this city for that
fuel. and coal is bringing $40 ton.

PULLMAN IS FIRST TOWN
IN WHITMAN COUNTY
Postoffice Receipts Show That Pullman
Leads Colfax by Nearly $500.

Further evidence that Pullman
now leads all of the towns of Whit
man county is shown by the receipts
of the pOstoffices of the two towns
for the six months ending December
81. Pullman leads Colfax by more
than $40, and ranks first in the
county 1t has long been conceded
that the postoflice is the best index
to the prosperity of a community and
Pullman offers the best index pos
sible. During the past 10 years the
receipts of the Pullman office have
shown a steady gain, showing that
the growth is not spasmodic or due
to any fluctuations, but to continued
growth of the metropolis Of the Pa
louise country. The gain for the six
months ending December 81, over
the corresponding six months of
1903, was 1l.8 per cent, while tho
gain Of December, 1910, over Deem
Der, 1909, was 1873 per cent.
The receipts for the six months
ending with the beginning of the
new year was $76499O, while the
receipts for ColfaX, for the same
period was $71O9.SS, making the
gain of Pullman over Colfax $540.S2.
The receipts of the Pullman Office for
the months mentioned is here given,
in comparison with the same months
of 1909:

Month

Rival towns claim that the State
College is largely responsible for the
large postoflice receipts at Pullman,
but these figures show this claim to
be not founded on fact. The heav-
lest gains We're in August and Dec
ember. The college was closed dur
ing the entire month of August and
for nearly half of the month of De-
cember. Any one doubling that
Pullman's postoffice handles much
more mail than the office at Colfax
need only visit the depots of the two
towns and see the amount of mail
delivered from the trains to see that
Pullman leads ColfaX by many tons
of mail each year. A large portion
of the State College mail is sent free
of postage. This is true of the bull
letins issued by the experiment sta
ton and large amount of mail for
the government work. If all of the
mail going out of Pullman were paid
for at the regular rates Pullman
would lead ColfaX by $4,000 to $4,000
per year in postof1ice receipts.

PULLMAN Is THIRD CLASS TOWN
ColfaN Gazette Attempts to Mislcad
Public and Bclittle Whitman'S
Largest City.

In its last issue the ColfaX Gazette
published list of the towns in Whit
man county and tho class in which
they belong and purposely, it is be-
lieyed, placed Pullman as a fourth
class town. The Gazettes article is
dated from Olympia and shows that
Whitman county leads all counties
in the state in number of incorpor-
ated towns, having 6. The Gazette
says two of these are third class and
names ColfaX and Palouse as the two
third class towns in the county. All
others, including Pullman, are placed
as fourth class towns.
The Gazette has either intention
ally misrepresented the facts or is
shamefuly ignorant Of conditions.
There are four third class towns in
Whitman county, namely ColfaX,
Pullman, Palouse and Tekoa. Pull
man has been in the third class for
seven years and Tekoa was voted in
the third class at the November cleo
ton.

COMMISSIONERS IGNORE
DEMANDS OF FARMERS
Retain Whitman County in Seventh
Class Despite Protests of Farm
ers Union and Grange.

One of the first acts of the Joint
convention of representatives of the
Farmers Union and Pomona Grange
held at Colfax last Tuesday was the
unanimous adoption of the following
resolution:
Whereas, in 1906 the commission
ers advanced Whitman county from
the ninth to the seventh class; and,
Whereas, Such action was based
upon the affidavit of N. d. Showalter.
county school superintendent, that
the population of the county was
more than $4,000; and
Whereas, such affidavit was based
upon the school census; and,
Whereas, The state law provides
that counties having a population of
between $4,000 and $4,000 shall be
in the eighth class; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Farmers Educational and CO.
operative Union of America of Whit
man county and the Pomona Grange
OF Whitman county, in join conven-
ton assembled, believe that it is the
duty of the county commissioners to
reduce the classification of the coun-
ty in accordance with the law and
the population as shown by the fed
eral census, and we hereby request
them to take such action at this
time"
resolution was also passed favor
ing an increase in the salaries of the
county commissioners, prosecuting
attorney and superintendent of
schools in counties of the eighth
class.
j. M. Reid of Pullman, r. C. Nc
Croskey of Garfield, j. C. Farr of
Albion, A. j, Chase of Tekoa, and
Geo, W. Case, Jr., Of st. John, were
appointed as committee to present
the resolutions to the board of coun-
ty ommissioners, The commit tee
went before the board at $50 D. m.
and presented the petition supple
mented with brief arguments in it's
favor by Reid, McCroskey and Case.
Commissioner Ruply made
frank statement to the effect that
personally he would regret to see the
classification of the county reduced
because he believed the effect would
be unfortunate, but that as there was
satisfactory evidence to show that
the population is less than the 49,
600 required to keep the county in
the seventh class, he felt it to be his
duty to abide by the requirements of
the law and voted to grant the petit
ton. Commissioners Mccoy and
Ellis voted against reducing the
classification, but did not offer any
explanations.
When the committee reported the
action of the commissioners to the
joint convention, it was unanl mousIy
decided to continue the fight, and
ample funds were pledged to carry
DE matter into the courts If neces-
sary. Among the delegates were
heavy taxpayers from all parts OF the
county and they were unanimously
in favor of continuing the struggle
to the last ditch.

OATS AND BARLEY DROP
of Corn From Eastern
States Causes Slump in Quota
lions on These Products. ~

Local quotations on wheat have re-
manned steady for the past week,
the only difference being raise OF
one cent bushel on the club, hybrid
and Red Russian varieties. Oats
have suffered a decline of from to
cents a bushel and barley about the
same amount, the reduction in quo
tations being attributed to the fact
that coast buyers have shipped in
large amounts of corn from eastern
states, principally Nebraska, the
price paid for that product being
only $23 per ton. 1t is proposed to
mix this cereal with oats or barley
for feed purposes. Very little, If
any, wheat has been sold in the vicin-
ity of Pullman during the past week,
and as the bulk of the oats and bar
ley had been disposed of by the
farmers, the slump in those products
will not affect the Pullman tillers Of
the soil.
Local quotations yesterday were as
