STREET PAVING WORK STOPPED
ON ACCOUNT Of BAD WEATHER
contractors will he Allowed Thirty Days in
which to Complete the Work After the
Weather Moderates Next Spring

Work on Pullman's street paving
Will be at standstill until next
spring, according to ruling of the
city council made at their regular
meeting last week. when an extension
OF time was granted to the Federal
construction company. The council
granted permission to the company to
discontinue work until favorable
weather sets in next spring, and the
company will not be liable to the $40
per day penalty provided in the con-
tract for each day after the stipulat-
ed time for the completion of the
contract. The company is given 30
days after the commencement of OPP
erations in the spring to complete the
work.
The extension of time was granted
upon the application of w. f. Han
rahan, in charge of the local opera
tons for the company, who gave as
a reason for the inability of the COM
pany to complete the paving on sched-
uled time the scarcity of labor during
the harvest season and the suisse
quent unfayorable weather.
The following recomm endations in
regard to the action of the council on
the application were presented by
City Engineer l.. " Edwards
Hon. Mayor and City Council, Pull
man, Wash.
Sirs:
! have been requested by Mr..
Scharf, the superintendent for the
contractor, to make a recommends

tension of time for the completion
of the paving on Districts 10 and II.

The official count by the county
commissioners of the returns from
the recent general election showed
several errors in the unofficial re-
turns, although the changes were
not great enough in any instance to
change the result as announced in
The Herald last week. The lead of
c. l.. Shaw of Palouse over ID. ID.
kimball of this city, for coroner,
was reduced by the official count
from 229 TO is. This error was
caused by the counting of one of the
Palouse wards twice in the unofficial
returns, Mr.. kimball received the
highest vote of any candidate of
either party in this city.

opportunity to get we'll acquainted
with labor conditions of this section
and on that account doubt if have
sufficient information to make an
absolutely fair recommendation to
the contractor and the property own
G }, However, if the city council
feels that the weather conditions
nave been unusually unfavorable;
that the contractor has offered sui,
flcient inducements in the way of
wages, etc, to get men if they were
to be had; and that he has exercised
the proper amount of diligence in
looking up men, it is nothing but
justice that he be given an extern
sion without any penalty attached,
although this would not be living
up to the letter of the contract
If the above conditions, in the
opinion of the council, have existed.
! recommend as follows:
Cd That the work be closed
down after November IS, to be re-
sumed again at suitable date in the
spring, said date to be decided upon
sufficiently in advance to give the
contractor ample time to get force
and equipment on the ground before
the actual date arrives.
(2D That the contractor he given
an extension of thirty 800 working
days without penalty in addition to
the ninty COO days originally allot-
ted.
CD In any case | recommend
that no pavement be allowed to go
down during the remainder of the
winter months.
Yours truly.

HANDLE IN BULK
ISaTHE SLOGAN
Adopted by the Tri-State Convention
of the Farmers Union Held at
Walla Walla Last Week

l.. G. Crow, state president of the
Farmers Union, was In Walla Walla
last week, attending a tri-state CON
vention of the organization. He re-
ports an attendance of over 200 dele
gates from all parts OF Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington, and says that
the meeting gave practically unani-
nous Endorsement of the proposition
to substitute elevators at railway sid
ings and steel tanks on farms for the
storing and handling of the grain
crop, and the abolition of the use of
sacks. The matter was introduced
by the resolutions committee and
discussed at length. The decision of
the delegates was to adjourn to give
more consideration to the maCters
leaving it in the hands of an inter-
state committee meanwhile for fur
Their study, and to meet again at 4
later date to take definite action, IL
such a course seems advisable.
An alternative proposition much
favored by the farmers was the in
PRODUCTION of cotton bags made la
the south in competition with the
Jute bags made from fiber grown In
India. A sample of cotton bags was
shown. The price of the cotton bags,
1t was said, was cents, as compared
with IL cents for the jute bags now
in use. 1t is lighter in weight and Is
an American-ma de product
The Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union is extensively or
ganized throughout the south, just
as it is in the northwest" said j. p.
Hill of Rockford, one of the dele
gates, and our brethren there are
seeking a market for their cotton
bags, just as we are seeking a mar
ket for our wheat. If we could adopt
this bag it would help them as well
as ourselves"
Some of these bags have already
been ordered. 1t is said one feature
of using them is that 1t would make
necessary a much smaller needle and
finer grade of Irvine, resembling
those used in flour mills, rather than
the large needles and twine now used
in the harvest fields.

the recommendation of the city en-
gineers, the Rush & LaPlant bid was
accepted as the lowest The bid of
the Spokane firm in detail was as fol-

the official contract has not yet been
made by the city officials.
Three of the bidders were present
at the meeting of the council.

A GREAT PLAY At
COLFAX THEATRE
Walker Whiteside VIII Present
THE Typhoon," the Latest Dra-
matte Success.

1t is hardly likely that theater-
goes are likely to see during the cur
rent theatrical season a more ex-
quisitely beautiful production of
strange and unusual play than that
which Mr. Walker Whiteside will re-
veal at the Ridgeway theater In Col
fax, Wednesday, November 20.
1t is THE Typhoon," a play that
appears to be as irresistible in its
compelling character as the storm
from which it takes its name. To
give an apt title to play Is consid-
cred by most people in the theatrical
business quite as great an achieve
ment as to secure a competent cast
for its presentation, and 1t would ap-
pear that Mr.. Whiteside has done
this in applying title to the work
of Hungarian dTamatist which has
brought to him the most substantial
success of his long and most interest
ing career. The scene of THE Ty-
Phoon" is laid in Berlin. Washing
ton, London, Vienna, or any other
capital where diplomatists assemble,
would serve as well The characters
are a singular intermingling of
japanese diplomats and students,
with artists, authors and other I'm
portant personages in the Bohemian
life of the German capital 1t may
be imagined that the dramatist has
brought these together In a compel
ling way, since the play has been de-
clared the most remarkable given to
the stage in more than a decade. The
splendid company which aided Mr.
Whiteside so muck in the great sue

be the last word in stage embellish-

FAMOUS CLERGYMAN
GIVES ADDRESSES
l'r. Washington GLADDEN. Delivered
Lecture to Appreciative Audience
Last Saturday Evening

Thanks to the enterprise of the
Twentieth Century Club the people
OF Pullman and the students of the
college have had the privilege of
hearing DR.. Washington GLADDEN.,
who gave lecture Saturday evening
and preached a sermon Sunday
afternoon.
Dr. GLADDEN. opened his lecture by
saying that the main ideas of his
address were suggested to him by
THE Great Analysis" book recent
ly published. In this book, the au-
thor raises this question: suppose a
part of England, say, the county of
Yorkshire, were to become unexpect-
eddy detached from the rest of Eng
land and turned into one of the plan
cts and the inhabitants were forced
to work out plan of life. Under the
circumstances how would they go
would be to take an account of the
natural resources of the country, the
religions, the races, the nationalities,
and try to work out some scheme to
bring about happiness and prosperity
for all the people. This is the scien-
tific way of handling big problem.
With this Introduction, DR.. Glad
den proceeded to suggest that we go
about solving some of our earthly
problems on similar scientific basis
At the present time we suffer from
poverty, disease, crime, ignorance.
and superstition. All these show that
we are not working with the laws of
the universe, for the world order
stands for health. physical, moral
and spiritual.
DR.. GLADDEN. then attempted to
solve our problems in a scientific
manner, on large international
scale. Let there be commission APP
pointed, made up of the ablest men
of the world, to study the resources of
the world so that they might be util-
lied for the good of all. Let other
commissions be appointed to study
the problems of poverty, disease,
crime and ignorance, and see If some
way can not be found to do away with
them. They are not necessary; they
stand in the way of progress. Why
not get rid of them? 1t can not be
done? Why not? Take the question
of religion. Intelligent men are
agreed that all religions have much
in common. Let us all unite on these
fundamentals and cease wasting our
energy on the non-essentials.
DR.. GLADDEN. believes that it Is
possible to have a universal common
wealth of good will. He does not
mean that we should have one gov
eminent, or that we should give up
our Municipalities, nationalities and
languages. He stands for unity but
not uniformity. All we would have
to give up would be our petty jealous
les, hatreds and other vices. Let us
study the causes of these vices and
LET us eradicate them, and the uniVer-
sal commonwealth will come of IT.
self
In conclusion, DR.. GLADDEN. made
strong argument for universal peace.

WILL YOU HELP
A WORTHY CAUSE?
Twentieth Century Club Needs Sup
port of Community to Carry on
Its Good Work

The Twentieth Century club, which
has given to the people of Pullman
so much entertainment free of charge
has issued the following open letter.
Ladies and Gentlemen
The Twentieth Century club comes
t. you asking for your moral and
financial support The aims and
ideals of the organization are not I'M
known to you. 1t invites noted men
and women of the country into our
| midst and their addresses help to
broaden our views. In addition to
lectures the club brings art exhibits
and concerts. These entertainments
have been free 10 all and no one has
| ever been turned away because OF
lack of money. To pay its expenses,
the club depends on the generosity
of its friends. In order to meet all
the obligations of this year the club
needs $500. If you are In sympa-
thy with the work and purpose of the
club, help it to the best of your abil-
lty. If you do not the club will go
in debt and disband at the end of
the year. Can the college and the
city of Pullman afford to let 1t die?
Mr.. w. G. Kreugel will be glad to
receive contributions for the club.
If the needed amount OF money
should be raised by December /
every number of the clubs program
will be made free to the public If
the money is not secured the club
will be forced to charge an admis-
sion fee to one or two of it's enter
tainments and the officers will make
up whatever deficit there may be
at the end of the year. But all those
who contribute as much as a dollar
will be admitted free to everything,
regardless of whether admission
be charged or not. Let it, however,
be understood that if the club is
forced into charging an admission
because the students, faculty and the
people of Pullman are unwilling to
support 1t, the club will go out of ex-
istence at the end of the year.
The Twentieth Century club is not
a commercial organization and will
not commercialize itself. On the
other hand If you do support the
club the officers promise you for
next year an even better program
than this year.
Here is the clubs program for the
year:
DR., Washington GLADDEN..

Roosevelt Manager
Says Ohio Settles
First Ballot Talk

COLUMBUS. Ohio, May 22.-"Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be nominated on the
first ballot at Chicago" said Walter F.
Brown, the Roosevelt manager in Ohio,
here today. There Is every evidence
that Taft Is impossible, and that evil
dence is contained in the vote of yes
terday in Ohio. which was victory for
the progressive cause.
mo other reactionary will be accept
able to the people who have voted
against Taft. The nominee will be a
progressive. OF course, the most con-
spicuous progressive today Is Roose-
with at least thirty votes from Ohio
Roosevelt will have enough votes to
nominate him without getting single
vote from New Jersey or South Da-
In a personal message to Roosevelt,
Brown said: :,
possibly thirty-three.'
L. C. Laylin, Taft's manager, claims
the President has carried the First,
second, Third, sixth and Fifteenth, and
possibly the Thirteenth and Seventeenth.
a total of ten sure and a possible four
teen. Laylin refused to discuss the
possibility of Taft's withdrawal as a
result of the Roosevelt landslide In Ohio,
and dismissed the subject with this COM
ment:
Ohio"
In many quarters, however, there was
much gossip that Taft would withdraw
and that Senator Root, of New York.
would be backed by the Taft forces In
the convention.
The Washington times., 1912-05-22

Last week he declared hatlv in Ohio
that that States result would settle
the nomination. II he adheres to this,
he would decline to fight for Jersey. But
nobody seriously expects this. A NOM
inal campaign will be put up while .he
political managers consider what Is the
right course to follow in making the
Taft collapse as easy as possible.
There continues wide divergence In
the claims of delegate strength by the
opposing sides. With 1,0I6 delegates In
the convention. $50 will be necessary to
nominate. The Taft people, counting
everything South. contested and unin-
structed, claim enough barely to con-
troll In maxine this claim they as
sumo to get fully 100 delegates that II
is positively known they will not con-
troll, and that will be for Roosevelt. The
Roosevelt claim Is that Taft has not
over 1S1 delegates that he may fairly
rely on to vote for him on the first
ballet.
Senator Dixon lists 46S delegates as
absolutely for Roosevelt, and adds to
this seventy-two pledges from unin-
structed delegates. This would make a
total of $50: and then South Dakota s
one. and New Jerseys twenty-eight are
sdded, this would put the colonel far
past the winning post.
The Taft organization comedies Roose-
welt 286 delegates, or twice as many as
Roosevelt comedies to Taft.
