PULLMAN PEOPLE
AT MOSCOW FAIR
Mammoth Hog Made a Hit i'm the
Parade and Thorpe Won Fat
Mans Race

Pullman was well represented aft
the opening of the Latah county fair
at Moscow last Tuesday. A large
number of citizens went over by
train and automobiles. The Pull
man section of the big parade made
decided hit. The leading feature
was mammoth hog, which had been
constructed to advertise the Pullman
Hog Show November 1929. The
band went over in bus drawn by
eight horses and decorated with
signs advertising the Hog Show and
bearing the official m ottor, Letter
Root"
Lee Allen should have won the
mule race at the fair grounds, but
was boxed and when he tried to turn
out and pass the mule in front of
him, his mount stopped and refused
to start again, despite a prolific flow
OF his choicest arguments and ex-
hortations. E. w. Thorpe, however.
redeemed the reputation of this city
by winning the fats race in a walk.
There was a big crowd at the fair
and the Pullman Hog Show received
some valuable advertising.

CITY WAREHOUSES;
FILE NOTICES
First Sign of Approaching Election
Is GiVen--tive Councilmen to
BE Elected in December.

The first intimation of a coming
city election was given yesterday
when City Clerk George N. Henry
and City Treasurer j. s. Clark, who
have served the city four and eight
years In their respective offices, filed
their notices of candidacy for re-elec-
ton. These men have for a number
OF years served the city in a double
capacity in that they have been an
infallible sign that a municipal cleo
ton was approaching, and this year
has proven no exception. They are
always the first to file notices of
candidacy and from the time of that
event until after election there is
generally something doing.
Only two councilmen, J. NJ. Pal
merton of the second ward and f. e.
Sanger of the Third ward, hold over,
the remaining five city fathers and
the mayor are to be nominated at
the primaries Nov 4. This condition
is brought about by the temporary
filling by the council of vacancies
caused by the resignation of Coun-
cilmen II. l.. McAlister and B. +.
Campbell, both of whom would have
been holdoyers. The other council
men, Lawler and Dow of the First
ward, Nye of the second, Haynes
of the Third and Sanborn at
large, together with Mayor 4. Il.
Shaw, will retire at the end of the
present year or be reelected. The
time for filing notices of candidacy
expires October 4.
The registration books close Oc-
tcber Is and up to the present time
only $50 voters have qualified.

City Council Accepts Bid of Warren
Construction Company for linz
proving District 14-ActiOn
Is Unanimous

By a unanimous vote of the city
council at a special meeting of that
body held last Monday evening, the
bid of the Warren Construction COM
pany for improving district No. IA,
was accepted and work on the i'm
proyement will start at once.
The question of the improvement
of the district has been the bone of
contention between Mayor Shaw and
several members of the city council
for the past two months and has
aroused much interest. The council
first voted to pave the entire district
and accepted the bid of the Warren
Construction company on that basis.
Mayor Shaw refused to sign the con-
tract with the company on the
ground that the interested property
owners had been promised a ma
cadam Improvement if they would re-
frain from presenting a remon-
STRANGE. The council was about
evenly divided on the matter and
much internal strife and some i'll
feeling resulted.
At the meeting of the council two
weeks ago the city fathers voted to
rescind the contract calling for paw
ing in the entire district, and new
bids were called for on a basis OF
part paving and part macadam. The
bid of the Warren Construction com
pany was the only one submitted
and this was accepted. In the pre-
vious estimate this company had
named $153 as its price for bitum1-
Louk macadam, which was consid-
cred unreasonably high, and was
Probably a big factor in the action
OF the council in accepting the bid
for paving the entire district, which
would cost only II cents per
square yard above the macadam
price. The second bid submitted by
the company. however, was 1928
per square yard on the same kind OF
niacadam.
After the bid had been read, the
following motion was made by Coun-
Gilman Lawler, and seconded by
Councilman Sanborn:
THAT Paradise street from Olson
street to the east line OF Pine street,
and Pine street between Paradise
street and Main street, be paved
with standard bithulithic with two
inch. top and four-inch stone base.
That Paradise st. from Pine to Main,

r.! Forbes was one of the fast
passing pioneers. He would
drive in sleights along frozen riv-
ers for the lack Of better roads,
and through forest, on bitter whit
er. miles upon miles, making ap-
pointments and preaching to scat :
tered settlers, and out of such
work came many flourishing
churches.
Brilliant, erratic, big-hearted,
he was one Of the old fashioned
Methodist preachers, whom to
know was to love. He will long be
remembered and talked about in
many, homes. OF late years he
