SCHOOL CHILDREN
EXHIBIT FLOWERS

The exhibit of cut flowers by the
school children of Pullman was held
at Whites drug store last Saturday
afternoon, and while the mum Der of
entries was cut down by the heavy
frost of the night before, there was
a very good display of SWEET peas and
asters. The judges were Mrs. Ew-
ing, Mrs. Mccain and Mrs. Goodyear
and after a careful examination of
the entries they awarded the prizes
as follows:
Asters First, Hollis Hughes; sec
ond, Florence Melvin; third, John
Wilson.
Sweet peas-First, Julia Wool
man; second, Phillis Delmore; third,
Ida McCune.
Much interest was manifested and
the flowers, which were displayed in
the show window, were inspected by
many citizens. 1t is probable that
next year quantity of the very best
seed will be secured and furnished
free to the youthful but ambitious
florists.

Vote

Yes-Dow, Nye, Haynes, Sanborn,

And thus ended the conucilmanic
jangle concerning the Improvement
OF District No. IA, which for the past
three weeks has been a bone of con-
tention between Mayor Shaw and the
members of the city council. The
mayor and his following in the city
council emerged from the fracas
somewhat battle-scarred, but winners
by good odds, in a battle which has
been the principal center of interest
locally for several weeks.
The district in question was the
principal business before the meet
ing of the council Thursday evening,
and the above result was attained
only after the matter had been dis
cussed pro and con at some length.
Previous to the meeting last week
the council had been divided four to
three in favor of the contract, which
called for paving the entire district,
and the contract was awarded the
Warren Construction company by
that vote. Mayor Shaw refused to
sign the contract on the assumption
that the vote of the council had been
obtained by misrepresentation in
that majority of the members had
agreed with the property owners to
vote for a macadam improvement.
Several attempts were made to effect
a settlement but to no avail until
Thursday evening, when Councilman
Sanger and Dow, who had previously
voted in favor of the paving, Joined
the anti-paving councilmen in their
vote to rescind the contract.
Frank Allen of Spokane, attorney
Tor the Warren company, was pres
emit at the meeting, and stated to the
council that while, in his opinion, he
'ould force Mayor Shaw's signature
BY legal process, he had no desire to
DO anything contrary to the wishes of
The people, and that he would abide
Dy any agreement reached by the
council. This statement, probably,
vas the cause of the motion to re-
! SEND the contract, and the fairmind-
edness of the corporation attorney
brought peace to turbulent city
council and joy to the hearts of the
Interested property owners and to
Mayor Shaw.
City Clerk Henry was ordered to
fe-advertise for bids on a basis OF
No blocks paving and the remainder
Macadam and an effort will be made
% award the contract and complete
me Improvement before winter.

borne out. Among noted speakers we
see the great Irish lawyer-orator Quin
O'Brien of Chicago. He gives two ad-
dresses on Knights of Columbus day,
it being their second annual tri-state
outing occurring this year on July 10
and 20.
Women's Day.
We note on July 25th Women's Day
advertised. The women of the Inland
Empire are conspiring to give great
demonstration under the capable gen
eralship of Mrs. H. w. Allen of the
successful efforts they are now MAX
ing in the many avenues of activity
now being touched and enlivened by
them. That great orator, Mrs. Crane,
will be the speaker of the day, assisted
by one of the prominent workers of
Seattle.
Swedish-American Day.
On Saturday, July 26, and Sunday,
9th, occur the Swedish and Occur
d'Alene days. The entire afternoon
of Saturday is given to field and water
sports. The main events of the Occur
d'Alene regatta, so successfully pro-
duced July 4th, will be in evidence.
Max Anderson handles the field sports
and Captain A. G. Stahl the water
carnival. The orator of the day is that
fluent speaker, writer and educator,
DR.. Andreen of Illinois.
Victor Berger to Speak.
The declaration of the manager that
the Chautauqua platform Is unbiased
non-sectarian, non-partisan, is vindi-
Gated when such men as ex-Congress-
man Victor l.. Berger are asked to ex-
plain the doctrines of the Socialists.
Last year this cult was represented
by Charles Edward Russell. Berger
is man of great strength and will no
doubt be listened to with great inter
est even by those who will not agree
with him. Other lecturers on almost
every conceivable topic are in evil
dence. The usual schools, such as
Arts and Crafts, Music, Expression
and the like, are to be conducted by
well known instructors. We note four
orthodox preachers for the IL o'clock
services on each Sunday.
Other Entertainers.
Among the readers and entertainers
they have struck the high water mark
and are getting such people as Frances
Carter of New York City, Maude Will
lis, who last year captivated the entire
assembly, Flossie Dillon of Inland EN-
pire fame. We note special days by
the Washington State college, Univer-
sity of Idaho and Lewiston Normal.
Musical Features.
The musical features are very
strong. Lachmond of New York, plan
list, Herbst of Germany, violinist,
Madame Herbst-Wright and others be-
ing on the program We note that our
friend Morris, cartoonist of Spokane
will lecture and we must not overlook
Annette Lochmond who dances and
sings and interprets the classics.
Tennis Tournament.
For those inclined to outdoor life
and do not take to water, entertain
ment on land is provided. The second
annual open tennis championship from
July Both to August I'd will be held.
On August 8th and 9Th the business
mems tournament will occur.
Special rates have been granted on
the railroads and eating facilities on
the grounds will be of the best.
