MARKET DAY BARGAINS
ATTRACT PURCHASERS
Hundreds of Farmers and Their
Families Take Advantage of
Reduced Prices Offered by
Pullman Merchants

The success of the market day
held under the auspices of the Pull
ran merchants last Saturday exceed
ed by far the most sanguine expec-
tatlons OF its promoters, and tnou-
sands of dollars worth of rcrcban-
disc were purchased by the many
farmers and their families who came
to take advantage of the attractive
bargains. Every store vas packed
with purchasers all day and the
prices placed on the goods were ,ow
enough to convince the most skep-
teal that buying at home pays, at
Least where the home merchants are
as progressive as those Of Pullman.
Many sacks of sugar wer, sold at
S0.25 per sack and as an added in
ducement the merchants paid 25
cents per dozen for all fresh ranch
eggs which were brought in. al.
though the prevailing price was only
20 cents. The great success of the
market day has caused the launch
ing of a plan to hold these special
sales once each month, and this plan
will undoubtedly materialize.

COLLEGE SUB-STAT|ON
WILL Be ESTABLISHED
By Vote of One Hundred and Twenty
five to Three, Electors Author
iZe Extension of Municipal
Limits

BY vote of 1875 to 3 the qualified
electors of the city of Pullman on
Tuesday authorized the extension of
the city limits to permit the estab-
lishment of a postal sub-station IN
the Auditorium building on the col
lege campus, and the station will be
established as soon as the necessary
red tape can be unwOund, and Will
undoubtedly be ir working order at
the opening of the school year IN
September. A postal sub-station can
be established only within the cor
porate limits of city or town, ana
the annexation to the municipality or
strip of the college campus on
which the Auditorium building Is
located was necessary to the installa-
ton of the college station. The sta
ton was authorized by the postal de-
nartment several months ago, and
no time will now be lost in installing
the office necessities. A clerk from
the local office will be placed in
charge.
Precincts ~ and GA, the two Col
lege hill precincts, carried unani-
mously for the extension, 81 votes
being cast in the former precinct and
as in the latter. In the Second ward
(,rooipo+ 5D only IA votes were
cast, and 13 of these were favorable
to the extension of the city limits
or q votes cast in the First ward
10 we're in favor of the extension
and the only resident of the territory
proposed to be ahnexed cast his pal
lot in favor of the annexation There
was no opposition to the extension oil
the municipal limits, and the ilght
vote cast was occasioned by the lack
of interest in the election.

The second annual Rural Life Con-
ference at the Washington State Col
lege opened Tuesday with nearly 200
persons, about half of them women,
attending. A keen interest in the
Improvement of rural social condi-
tons was evidenced and the discus
sions following each address were
spirited and showed a wide range of
view. Tuesday morning the visitors
were taken on an automobile tour of

"A wonderful change in the views
of the farmer and the farmers boy
toward the vocation which they are
following is now taking place" said
j. A. TOrmey, head of the w. S. c..
extension department. In conneC-
ton with my work during the past
year | have travelled $4,000 miles
and have attended farmers meetings
in 80 different counties of the state.
All these meetings | have met 170,-
600 farmers and the optimism which
| have encountered, as well as the
general feeling of satisfaction eX-
pressed by these farmers has been a
revelation to me. In direct contrast
to the feeling of the farmers boys of
years gone by is that expressed to me
by the youthful soil tillers to whom
put the question of future vocation.
Thousands of these farmers boys
proudly replied I'll be a farmer.
Never during the past 40 years have
country people viewed life as they
do now. The farmer is beginning to
realize that he is doing good work
and is appreciated and that feeling
is causing him to become cOntented
with his surroundings.

Socializing Agencies

The first address OF the opening
session was delivered by Mrs. jose
phine Preston, state superintendent
Of schools, who took as her subject
"SOcializing Agencies Now at Work
in Washington. Mrs. Preston
enumerated several examples OF
rural isolation encountered during
her terms as county superintendent
of Walla Walla county and later as
state superintendent and outlined the
work which is now being done in this
state to relieve these conditions.
Some of the greatest agencies now
existing for bringing rural people
closer together and making country
lie more attractive are the Farmers
Union, the Grange, and the commun-
held during the past year. The
building Of seryiceable cottages for
che rural teachers has been instituted
i'll this state and according to Mrs.
Preston this plan is proving a potent
factor in making the life Of the rural
teacher more desirable and is paving
the way for securing more competent
teachers for the rural districts. The
community center plan was explained
by Mrs. Preston. AS an example of
the need Of socia! organizing in the
rural communities the speaker cited
extracts from survey of Long
Beach district, on the West Side. The
report on this survey stated that two
distinct factions were found in this
community, the dance faction and
the church faction, and that it had
been impossible to get the two ele-
ments to cooperate for the good of
all. Mrs. Preston pointed out that
what is needed is leadership to bring
these elements together.

OPEN RIVERS WILL
HELP WHITMAN CO.
81 D. Lyman Predicts Wonderful
puture for County After Columbia
and Snake Rivers Are
CanaliZed

with the completion of the Cello
,oots in the Columbia river next
January the Northwest representa-
avps to the National Rivers and Har-
h,rs congress will institute an &C
five campaign to improve and de-
velop Snake river, with the ultimate
Wow of canalizing the Columbia and
Snake rivers from Lewiston to Port
land, thereby opening a new channel
for the marketing of the great out
nut of grain in the Palouse country,
which, according to w. d. Lyman of
Wulla Walla, director of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress for the
state of Washington, will spell pros
Derity for this county in capital let
ter. Professor Lyman spoke before
an open meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce Tuesday evening, and
while the attendance was small be-
cause of numerous conflicting attrac-
tons, interest was keen, and at the
close of the meeting it was unani-
mously voted to draft resolutions to
be sent to the Northwest representa-
tiyeG in congress, urging support of
the bill introduced by Senator Wes-
ley L. Jones, which carries an appro-
priation of $4,000 for a survey of
the Snake river. This bill, according
to the speaker, is the opening gun in
the Development of the Snake river,
and in his opinion the forerunner of
prosperity, reduced transportation
charges on grain and produce and
new era in the life of the Palouse
country farmer.
To show the reduced transporta-
t0E charges which would accompany
the canalization of the Snake and
Columbia rivers. and the plying of
their waters from Portland to Lewis
ton, Professor Lyman presented sta
tistlcs to show that the cost of
transportating a ton of freight by
boat Is 81 for 1860 miles, while the
same amount will carry a ton of
freight by rail only 126 miles, 10
miles on a macadam road and only
lohr miles on a comm on dirt road.
IN discussing plans for the opening
Oh Snake river, Professor Lyman
states that the fall of only three feet
per mile in the river will make de-
'elopment work on the waterway
aiIficult, but that competent engin-
GERS have reported that the construc-
uon OF four dams and canals, at Ri
paria' Five Mile, Pine Tree rapids
ana Palouse rapids, will check the
current and provide a depth of water
suillclent to transport any boat that
can come through the Panama canal.
1hess dams would also provide
water power which in itself would
prove big factor in the develop
ment OF the Inland Empire.
hand in hand with the develop
iuent OF these two waterways, accord
ns 10 Professor Lyman, would
come the construction of good roads
'7auihg to the waterways and the
substitution OF large automobile
trucks for wagons for transporting
e'aln and produce to the river.

MASONS MAKE MERRY
IN TANGLEWOOD W|LDS
Two Hundred Masons and Their
Families Enjoy Picnic Tuesday
fternoon-"I .eans" and
Fats" at Baseball

Eats, talks and sports in profusion
constituted the program for the 200
Masons and their families, who on
Tuesday afternoon enjoyed a picnic
in 'Tanglewood," on the college
campus. a mammoth basket dinner
was served cafeteria style and George
II. Watt, worshipful master, supplied
the flow of oratory which is essen
tal to successful gathering. Pro-
lessor Watt outlined the develop.
ment of the order of Masons, and
stated the object of the gathering as
IN commemOration of st. John the
Baptists day, one of the two days
which are annually observed by the
order. This day was June "a, and
the postpOnement of the festivities in
honor of the occasion was occasioned
by the inClement weather Of last
week.
The featherweight Masons and the
Masonic heavyweights INDUCED in
OF baseball. Frank E. Sanger was
slated to pitch for the Fats" but
after he had uncorked a few twist
ers and fast ones and proved that his
surplus avoirdupois has not hamp-
cred his pitching arm, which in
former years had won many battle
hn
as a professional and U. u. Lawler
was sent to the slab to tame his
elongated brothers. Lawler pitched
good ball, but the slim Masons were
pretty handy with the stick and held
the Fats" to an 8 to 8 tie. The
Lean battery was Folger and
Weaver. The personnel of the two
teams was as follows:
Fats--E. w. Downen, s. b. Mel
son, George Olson, Il. q. Lawler, f.
h. Sanger, A. &c. Olson, Ted Mathews.
Ellsworth, SHREDDER.
Leans-A f.. Brownell, B. S. Leon
ard, Lester FOlger, f. E. Henderson,
IL. S. Groat, Barnett. c. r. Lewis, T.
\. Leonard, Weaver
The keen rivalry between the two
combating factions necessitated a
full battery Of officials, and all dis
putes were settled by arbitration.
Mayor A. e. Shaw umpired the con-
test, with George II. Watt as referee
and IL. NJ. Beck as official score
keeper.
The athletic sports proved a big
attraction and many exciting races
were run. The winners of the diff
| ferent events were as follows:
Boys race--Arthur Ageton.
| Ladies' race Mrs. Frank HendeT-
son.
Little girls race-Viya Lawler.
Mems race-B. S. Leonard.
Twin girls race--Helen Quarels
and Babe Shaw.
Fat mems races. b. Nelson.
Fat women's race-Mrs. Arthur
Cole.
The great success of the occasion,
which was ably directed by a COM
mttee consisting OF A. f. Brownell.
A. e. Olson and John Gerding, will
undoubtedly result in the picnic be-
ing made an annual affair.

Good Roads Help

Professor e. c. Wooster of the
Lewiston Normal School mentioned
good roads as one of the socializing
agencies of prime Importance to
rural life, and advocated the use Of
road drags by the farmers as means
OF placing them in closer touch with
their fellow soil tillers. THE peo-
pIe who will solve the rural social
problem are those who, without
bringing themselves unduly to the
front, will get the rank and file of
the rural population to work in their
own interests, said Professor
Wooster.

Work Better Than Talk

j. l.. Dumas of Dayton, in discuss
ing the relationship of the city man
and the farmer in improving rural
conditions, spoke OF the reluctancy of
some of the farmers to accept sug-
gestions of city people and supported
this feeling to Il certain extent by the
statement that the average farmer
knows as much about ways and
means of improving his own condi-
lions as does the city person. lie
admonished the city residents who
would aid in this work to take off
their coats aud work and not do so
much talking. PIofessor w. d. Ly-
man OF Whitman College mentioned
the development of rural life as one
Of the biggest things now before the
people, and said that rural schools
should be made available for all pur-
poses social, religious and agricul-
tural, as we'll as educational.
