PULLMAN WILL GREET VETERANS
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
Excellent Programs Arranged for Eighteenth
Annual EnCampment to be Held Next
Week. Many Visitors Expected

All arrangements are completed
for the eighteenth annual en-
campment of the Veterans Associa-
ton of Whitman and Latah Coun-
ties. which will be held here Thurs
day, Friday, and Saturday of next
week, and three days of happiness
and enjoyment are in store for the
old veterans, over 100 strong, who
will partake of Pullman's hospital
ity on those days. For ten consecu-
tive years Pullman has enjoyed the
visit of the old soldiers, and several
years ago this place was designated
as the permanent meeting place of
the Civil War veterans. No effort
has been spared in making arrange
ments for the most successful meet
ing in the history of the association
and the eleventh consecutive meeting
in Pullman bids fair to eclipse all
others.
Many features have been provided
to add to the enjoyment of the old
soldiers, among which are a free
street carnival and martial music by
drum corps from Reno Post of Spo-
kane, which will be com posed of two
flies and a snare and a bass drum
mer, all veterans of the Civil war
1t was originally planned to have a
mammoth clam bake, but the COM
mittee has found it impossible to Sc
cure the clans in sufficient quantity
at this time of the year, and big
bean bake will be provided as a sub
stitute attraction. There will be
beans for everybody and there will
| be no charge. On Friday afternoon
the w. S. c. cadet corps, under
| Commandant C. r. Bennett, u. s. A.,
will pass in review before the boys
of 81" and the 400 officers and men
will execute Butts manual. This at
| traction will take place on the col
| lege parade ground, no place large
enough for the entire six companies
| having been available elsewhere, and
arrangements will be made to trans
port the old soldiers to the parade
grounds in autom obiles. On the last
two days of the encampment, Thurs
day and Friday, the motion pictures
depicting the battle Of Gettysburg,
said to be among the best army pic
lures ever shown, will be the attrac-
ton at the Pullman theater, and all
old soldiers will be admitted free of
charge.
Aside from the old soldiers, many
members of the w. R. c. will be pres
ent, and the second days program
will be in charge of the local w. r. c.
The programs for the three days, as
arranged by the program committee,
of which DR.. E. T. Patee is chairman,
will be as follows:

RELIC Of 0LDEN TINES |
Sale on 18th Proximo at Site of Old
Pioneer Mills Recalls
us u Renaissance .a.

The sale Of the . manufacturing
plant of the Emerson: Engine Com
pany, at, the foot of Duke street,
will take place Saturday, April Is.
The sale will be virtue Of a decree OF
the Circuit Court for the city in the
chancery causes of the Central Metal
an Supply Company vs.. the Emer-
son Engine Company.
The plant of the company was
placed some years ago on the site OF
the Old Pioneer Mills, long an old
Landmark of Alexandria.
The Pioneer Mills were constructed
in the early ffties and until the
breaking out of the civil war q fine
brand of flour was turned out of the
mills They were fitted with machln-
lery which at that time was regarde1
as modern, and the demand for wheat
by this plant ma:e Alexandria a
grain market.
During the civil war army biscuits
were ground at the mills and some
time after the close Of hostilt!es 1t
was used by the late George Y. Wor-
thington, J. T. Beckham and other
commission merchants.
The city of Alexandria for many
years had a large claim upon the prop
erty for taxes, and in 1892 the Deis
Manufacturing Company, Of Canal
Dover, Ohio, made an unsuccessful! al
tempt to induce the city to turn the
bullying over to its representatives
and to pay for the removal OF the ma
chinery of their planning mill to this
! CITY. The Cdr,mon Council granite;
the request, but the Board of Alder
men refused to concur. The Del:
Manufacturing Company the s'mi
wear located their plant at New Alex
Iandriz, It was destroyed by fire De
cember, 1892.
The Pioneer Mills remained dorman
for many years, and during lorna
do September %, 1896, it was badly
1:mage5, and in June, OF the follow
inc wear it was given its coupe az
grace by fire.
/ A few years ago the Emerson Com
pany constructed its plants on the OK
site.
