FORMER PULLMANITE
FOOLED BY ROBBER
h. ID. Priest Has Peculiar Experience
With Highwayman Near Spokane
Goes In Search of Holdup
Artist

E. d. Priest, formerly in the butch
er business in Pullman, had a pecul-
lar experience with a highwayman
near Spokane last week, which, but
for a chance of fate, would have cost
him in the neighborhood of $500.
Mr.. Priest was returning from Spo-
kane to his home a few miles out
of that city, and was accompanied by
his hired man. The night was a cold
enc and when they reached the tim
Der Mr.. Priest decided to walk
through and catch the buggy again
on the other side. Reaching the
road on the other side of the timbe
Mr.. Priest failed to find the man who
was driving the team, and after
short wait that individual put in an
appearance a1d explained that nc had
been held up and robbed of $22 Mr..
Priest had $500 on his person and
after congratulating himself on his
narrow escape the two drove on
home.
They decided to return to the scene
of the holdup, however, and attempt
to catch the criminal. Aiming them
selves with pair of six-shooters
apiece, they started on the man-hunt
and soon met another man driving
their way who also had been relieved
of his pocket change by the gun art
ist He was prevailed upon to join
in the chase and the three men pro-
ceeded to the scene of hostilitles.
Before they were aware what was go
ing on a gun was thrust in their faces
and they were com manded to throw
up their hands. In the excitement
incident to the unexpected command
each member of the trio forgot his
mission and Inree pairs of hands
pointed skyward. One of the guns
was discharged in the air as the hand
holding it went up, and right there
the party broke up, each man run
ming in different direction and each
with his hair standing straight up
The three man-hunters again came
together after a time and resolved
hereafter to leave the hunting of
criminals to officials who are paid for
this hazardous service.

This gives a grand total of 1885,
$1,000 spent in buildings and i'm
provements in Pullman during the
past year. 1t is an impressive record,
full of encouragement to local resi-
dents and of deep interest to people
who are looking for progressive city
ir which to locate.
The most encouraging feature of
the situation is that this is not an
improvement spasm which will end
suddenly and completely. The indi-
cations are that the record will be
sustained if not eclipsed during 1914.
The completion of Wilson hall and
the new Mechanics Arts building and
other contemplated improvements at
the college will probably require an
expenditure of at least 100000. The
work of paving and improving the
streets promises to be continued and
extensive improvements to the water
system have already been planned.
Three new houses Will be started In
College Park addition as soon as
spring opens up and a number of
property owners have signified their
intention of building houses during
the coming year. A brick garage is
certainty and several store build
ings are am ong the probabilities of
the next few months.
There is nothing unnatural and no
suggestion of a boom in these i'm
provements and building operations.
Pullman is growing steadily and
there has been a healthy demand for
houses. The pay roll of the college

MUCH BUILDING, IMPROVEMENT
MARKS PULLMAN'S PROGRESS
Over S35O,OOO Spent on New Buildings and
Improvements During Past Year---lol4
Promises Even Better Results

The year of 1913 has been a not
able one in the history of Pullman
because of the remarkable prosperity
and progress of the city during the
IL months which have just ended.
The record of growth and improve
ment made in the past year by Pull
man has been equalled by few cities
of similar size in the United States.
There have been years in the past
when more money was expended in
the construction of new buildings at
the college, but the fact that the bulk
of the improvements this year were
made by the city and individual resi-
dents is a very encouraging feature,
for it indicates that the com munity
Is waking up to the Importance of
keeping pace with the magnificent
educational institution located in it's
midst.
Comparatively few citizens, even
among those who have kept close tab
on local affairs. fully realize how
much has been accomplished or the
aggregate sum of the money which
has been invested in permanent i'm
provements in Pullman during 1913.
For their information and to give
the people in other sections an ade-
Quate idea of what is being done in
the home of the State College, The
Herald has prepared the following
record of the improvements which
have been made here since the first
of last January:

wINTERING THE SMALL PIGS
animals win Not Do Well and Return
Good Profit Unless Few Precau-
lions Are Observed.

Many small farmers buy fall pigs
and fail to make them do we'll. but do
not know the reason, writes ]. Brown
In Orange Judd Farmer Fail pigs
will not winter we'll and make good
pront unless several restrictions are
carefully submitted to. First, make ar
rangements to let them have access
to out of doors whenever they are dis
posed to go out. Pigs shut up indoors
languish. They want to run out when
the weather is severe, even il they re-
turn at once some days. Swine carry
SO much OF a coating of fat that they
will stand more cold than many sup
pose. frequently the kind-hearted
owner closes the doors and expects
pigs to go on growing. But they re-
fuse. The larger the pigs when severe
weather comes on the better they will
do. OF course, If you live where the
climate is mild this does not apply.
But all young animals must have
plenty of exercise.
Second-Do not let them work or
lie in heating manure. The warmth ap.
peals to them. They spend too much
time In 1t, and they rush into the cold
only to be attacked by lung and
other kindred troubles. The roofing
over Of manure in summer will not
harm. Give plenty of bedding and a
sleeping room where draft cannot
blow over them, and let it be dry.
Dampness is detrimental to swine any
time, but especially so in winter.
Third-NIilk is likely to be scarce in
winter, and for this reason many per
sons are not situated right to take on
young pigs. They need milk because
they are young, and all the more be
cause the weather is trying to diges
tion. Persons with young swine that
do not grow forget some of these
things A hot slop (not too hoD win
ter mornings is relished by all pigs
and seems needful where pigs are
making their best growth.
Fourth-Constipat that enemy
of all animals, is more than likely to
attack pigs that are deprived of green
! food and under stress because of any
lack of nutrition. 1t must be guarded
against. Give fruit, vegetables, sods
branches of apple trees, bran, mid
dlings. molasses and a small dose Of
wood ashes.
