The following article by N. W.
Durham appeared in the Spokesman
Review;
1t was the evening of the impress
sive parade of the Grand Army of the
Republic at Pullman. The heat of
a summer day had passed into the
pleasant GOODNESS of the long June
twilight, with hardly zephyr to lift
the silken folds of the flag which
Charles Dickens pronounced the
most beautiful of all the emblems of
the nations. With a fife and drum
corps at their head, shrilling out the
old airs which stirred the patriotic
hearts of millions so years ago, the
veterans in blue had filed slowly
past, some of them still erect in SOL
der bearing, others bent with age
and the long after effects of wars
dreadful hardships.
Came then the well drilled cadets
from the State College, in their
suits of khaki-erect, rugged, with
the quick, firm step of youth, and all
the strength and hope and courage
that are the accomplishments of 20.
Not all the veterans had gone in
line. Yielding to the fatigues of a

HAD MONEY ENOUGH
AND SMALL SURPLUS
All Bills for G. A. II. Encampment
VIII BE Settled as Soon as
Presented

The general committee in charge
Of the G. A. r. encampment met Sat
urday evening and again Monday
evening to audit bills and cast up a
balance and have come to the graft
flying conclusion that after all bills
are settled there will be a small sur
plus remaining, providing the cots
which were bought from Wenatchee
can be sold at $1.30 each, which is
the actual cost, plus freight AS the
cots are as good as new, there Is lit
tie doubt that they will all be sold
at this exceptionally low price, and
already a number of them have been
ordered.
The most gratifying part of the
business is that it was not found
necessary to draw against the $500
in the treasury of the local post OF
the G. A. r., which was pledged in
case of necessity, but which the com
mittee agreed from the very start
ought not to be drawn upon except
as last resort. Any persons hav-
ing unpaid bills against the encamp-
ment are requested to present them
at once, in order that the committee
can prepare a complete statement of
the receipts and disbursements for
publication.

Well Guarded Secret

II has leaked out that two popular
members of the Senior class at the
w. s. c., who received their diplo-
mas yesterday, were man and wife,
having been married at Occur
d'Alene on January 10. They were
e. T. Love and Miss Anna Elizabeth
Schneider, and so well had they
guarded their secret that not one of
their friends or classmates even sus-
pected It. The bride is the daughter
of wealthy farmer Of Plaza and
the groom is from Ohio and has been
taking the course in agriculture.

IL costs too much and therefor have
not asked for any more of it.
Since we started to put down this
concrete paving in 1909 our citizens
nave not wanted any other kind and
have confidence in it and believe
that time will prove that our con-
crete paving is as good as any.
Yours very truly,

18TH COMMENCEMENT
WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE
DIR. Hart of Harvard Gave Fine
Address Full of Wholesome Adj
vice and Quaint Humor

The features of the Commence
ment exercises at the College yester-
day were the impressive professional
march and the address by Professor
Albert Bushnell Hart, Eaton pro-
fessor of science of government at
Harvard University a former in
structor of President Bryan. He
took for his subject, What Are You
Here For?" and answered the ques-
ton by saying, ITO secure an educa-
ton" He then entered into a dis
cussion of what an education really
means, holding that the mere acqui-
sition of facts does not constitute an
education and that unless one knows
how to apply the facts they are as
useless as boulders. He urged that
the purpose of an education is to
turn out all-around men and women
His address was wholesome rather
than brilliant and the sound advice
given was relieved by touches of
humor which added charm to his
words.
Governor Hay made few re-
marks in which he eulogized the
work of the College and expressed
his deep interest in it's welfare.
President Bryan conferred the de-
grees and awarded the medals and
honors won by the graduates, a com
plete list of whom will be found on
page eight.

Mayor Shaw, Councilmen Henry.
Price and Haynes and several citi-
zens went up to Spokane yesterday
TO inspect various kinds of paving
and find out the cost of paving ma
chinery, as there is quite strong
sentiment in favor of having the
city buy the necessary machinery
and do its own paving instead of
having it done by contract.

following editorial comment:
Pullman covered herself with
glory last week in entertaining the
state encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic and its auxil-

for a city of Pullman's size. and

ECHOES OF ENCAMPMENT
COME FROM MANY POINTS
Visitors Unite In Prasing the Enterprise and
Hospitality of Pullman and Express Their
Gratitude for Courteses Received

long, warm day of summer. many of
them had sought the indulgence of
chairs and benches along the line of
march, and it CHANGED that ! stood
by the side of one of these A mist
was in his eye and a tremor in his
voice, and it was easily seen that he
was living again in the past, and
that a flood of solemn memories
was rolling in upon his heart.
1t was young fellows like these
who went to the front in 1861.
Regiment after regiment as youth
full as they, | saw in those great
days. And now you see us in age
and infirmity!"
But the memories that surged on
the hearts of the old guard at the
Pullman encampment were not all
as wistful and pathetic as these.
There were recollections of soldier
laughter over remembered esca-
pades. HumOr was not lacking, and
over all you felt the comradeship
that comes from the embattled ranks
of war as it scarce can come from
any other relation in life. 1t was
an occasion of heart-stirring re-
unions-the coming together, many
/ of them after decades of separation
of veterans who had marched and
| fought in companies and in regi-
ments from Maine, from Iowa, from
old Ohio. From the platform in the
pleasant park call after call was
made, asking if survivors were
present from this regiment or that
and thus many comrades were again
brought together, to live over again
host of stirring incidents.
The encampment was complete
success. | heard scores of veterans
pronounce it the finest ever held in
| Washington. II have never seen
such hospitality, east or west" said
OIICs opCdhIliS vi tic ClltCi
and provision made for their COM
fort by the generous people of Pull
man. The veterans and members OF
affiliated organizations of the q. A
R. were guests of the town-guests
| in the fullest sense of the term
After the hotel accommodations had
been exhausted hundreds were taken
into private homes. Other hundreds
were sheltered in tents. More than
5000 meal tickets were distributed
by the committee, whose members
worked night and day to shelter and
! feed the old boys in blue and theil
wives, sons and daughters.
To meet the expense the citizen:
raised a fund of $4,000, comparable
TO 100000 in city the size of Spo-
kane.
The encampment of 1912 has
passed into history, but It's pleasant
memories will linger to 'he last in
| the minds and hearts of those who
shared in the royal hospitality Oi
the beautiful and progressive col
lego town.

My Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of May 25
Will state that We have large
amount of concrete paving called
"Dollarway" and so far it has given
crete paving was put down in 1909.
IN 1910 we put down over 10000
square yards of it and in 1911 over
$4,000 square yards. and We are go
ing to put down more of it. While
this is still new pavement l be-
lleve that if the concrete is put
down right in the first place that
tms pavement should wear as we'll
as any This pavement came
through very severe winter and
mink that was very good test for
It. This pavement complete cost us
ABOUT $1.15 per square yard. 1t is
also easy to repair if necessary. The
concrete should be covered with a
layer or hot bitumen which helps to
protect the pavement and keeps it
IRON being slippery and also dead
Gus the noise. In some places on
tue paving that we put down last
year the covering of bitumen has
eome off and this makes the paving
'ook Dad In some spots. The pave
uent should be perfectly clean and
ury when the bitumen Is put on.
Last fall we had so much work to
nnisn and We ran into lot Of wet
weather. and I think that is the
cause of the bitumen coming off in
some spots. The pavement is all
i'snt and it will be only a small
s4pense to cover the spots where the
Si'umen has come off and put on a
~" layer of 1t. I don't think that
'ais concrete paving is any more
"ppery than brick. We are going
pave street with hill on it this
sumner and next to each curb on

we have some brick pavement
s.e' Our Main street was paved
''u prick in 1898 and that has
zen good satisfaction. Our people

streets paved with asphalt block,

MOI. .'ory' We also have one street of

tried, and l should deem it a kind

it has been found satisfactory.

IF BURDICK FAILS TO GET
EVIDENCE.

''If Burdick doesn't bring in
something definite, 1 am going to
call a grand jury myself, even II
the other judges don't agree with
me-"
This was the decisive statement
of Judge Chapman this morning
on the alleged $500 Crashules ex-
tortion, in which court house en-
ployes are believed to be involved.
H. p. Burdick, special prosecu-
tor, has been talking to some of
the parties in the case. He will
not be able to go to Wilkeson to
see the Crashules before Monday.
Judge Card today seemed to be
swinging around to a grand jury
as the only solution of the case.
Judge Clifford is not definitely
opposed and Easterday is decided
ly for 1t.
Definite reports have reached
some of the Judges that the
Crashules case is not the only one
of it's kind. Burdick is only en-
powered to sift this one. A grand
Jury will be necessary to demon.
strate whether or not two at least
of county officials have not been
grating on helpless prisoners.

Berens charged that Denham
had started the prosecution as a
result of q personal quarrel The
jury was out three hours.
The Country club Is too touchy
about its old geraniums, thinks L.

The business, encouraged by
municipal cooperation, Is a win
ner. And 1t has opened a new
avenue OF usefulness to the num-
cipality.
Want City Land.
Right now the city has three
large concerns making overtures
for sites for manufacturing. They
want to deal with the city, not
with any private enterprise.
And the city is going to try to
meet them and assist them to de-
velop.
When Mayor Fawcett was in Of
flee he declared that the property
that ought to be I'm the hands of
the city for ocean docks and ter
minals Is the vacant N. p. plot
across the city waterway. It con-
tains nearly 100 acres. The city
already has six lots near the nth
street end on the middle waterway
and small manufacturing indus
tries are ON them.
Commissioner Freeland has
been working on the idea for
months. Recently he has secured
the active cooperation of Mayor
Seymour. They saw Vice Presi-
dent Mutt of the N. p. with ref
erence to acquiring the land two
weeks ago. They expect to meet
with President Howard Elliott ana
go over the matter this afternoon.
Put Wharves There.
II the city can get this property
1t is proposed to put wharves
along the waterfront for the ocean
business to come with the OPEN
ing of the Panama canal.
Inside will be plenty of room
for the development of great man
ufacturing plants sufficient TO sup
ply such as will come for several
years.
The revenues to be derived
from the wharves and from the
leasing of the manufacturing sites
would soon cancel the debt caused
by purchasing the land and would
then be source Of lasting revenue
to the city to reduce taxes.
Extend Waterway.
When more wharfage is requir-
ed the middle waterway can be ex-
tended to join the Wheeler-Os-
good waterway and added facili-
ties will thus be secured.
This plan involves no $3,000,-
600 scheme. A few hundred thou
sand dollars at most, it is figured,
would be all that was necessary
for the present and the property
would be Immediately available.

Editor Times
Last night the people OF Gig
Harbor had the pleasure of hear
ing Bob" Hodge of Seattle in his
canvas for governor.
He had a very enthusiastic audi
ence. The people have come to re-
alize and know that its's high time
to put A MAN into the governors
chair that is of the people, by the
people and for the people.
The people here feel that it's
time that a government of lawyers,
by lawyers, for special privilege.
HAS TO STOP, and that we have
a man in Bob Hodge WHO WILL
STOP 1T.
The people have become wise
through patience and long suffer
ing and have learned to know a
hawk from handsaw," and are
going to make Hay" while the
sun shines.
Hay, we know, is dried grass,
and is best preserved by being
slowed away for future use.
The people KNOW that Bob
Hodge has a Haymaker in either
hand, and that he can deliver the
goods.
It's time to let special privilege
know that the people have the last
think, and that the average man.
whether farmer, tradesman, pro-
fessional man, laborer, has nothing
to hope for from the SNUG, smooth
harpies that think no man can as
pire to office unless he has bank
|or Doodle to back him.
We have truly been the veriest
|of Jobs In our patience with de-
ceit and promises unfulfilled.
Big Business is not all there is
to consider. The average man,
woman and child come first, and
it's that kind of people Bob Hodge
stands for, THE MAN before the
dollar.
Hence we are for Bob" Hodge
and Bob" LaFollette first, last
and all the time.
