PIPES DECLINES;
STRAIGHT CHOSEN
New Cashier of the First National
Bank Will Arrive Tomorrow
From Montana

A. w. Pipes, who recently pur-
chased a block of stock in the First
National bank of Pullman and was
elected to the position of cashier of
that institution, has changed his
mind and decided to- locate in Cali
fornia. At the time the deal was
made he was on his way to Califor-
MIA and desired to defer action I'M
ill his return, but finally bought the
stock and accepted the position of
cashier. He then went on to the
Golden State, expecting to assume
his duties in Pullman about the first
of February. He has been, however,
so favorably impressed with the I'm
perial Valley district Of California,
that he has decided to remain there.
The stock of the bank which he
purchased has been sold to w. o.
Straight, assistant cashier of the
First National bank of Lewistown,
Mont, to whom the directors have
rendered the position of cashier. He
has accepted and will arrive in Pull
man tomorrow. Mr. Straight has
had - years experience in the bank
ing business in the middle west and
Montana and was very highly recon-
mended by the bank examiner OF
Montana and other financiers of re-
cognized reputation and ability. He
is a man of middle age, has family
and will doubtless prove valuable
acquisition to the business and social
circles of this city.

HEAVY LOSS CAUSED
BY MIDNIGHT BLAZE
Emerson Mercantile Company Suf-
fers $25,O0O Damage-Over-
heated Electric Flatiron
the Cause

Fire was discovered in the rear
of the Emerson Mercantile COM
pany's building shortly after mid
night Wednesday morning, and be-
fore the flames were brought under
control by the fire department dam
age estimated at $4,000 had been
done by the flames, smoke and
water. The cause of the fire was
an overheated electric flatiron in
the dressmaking parlors, upstairs,
in the rear of the building. Great
damage was done by the fire in the
ladies coat and suit department,
while the water was responsible for
heavy loss in the grocery depart
ment and the grocery store room,
directly underneath the ladies' de-
partment, and the smoke and water
| caused considerable loss in the gents
furnishings and general departm ents
III tne 'front.' OF the store.
A large crowd gathered in re-
Spouse to the insistent changing of
the fire gong and many citizens as
sisted the fire department in quell-
ing the flames, which had gained
considerable Roadway when discov-
cred. While it is impossible yet to
arrive at definite conclusion as to
the total loss, it Is estimated at about
$4,000. The heaviest loss was in
the ladies ready-to-wear department,
where large new spring stock of
women's apparel was completely
ruined. this loss alone being estimat-
ed at $4,000.
The Emerson company carried in
surance in IL different companies,
aggregating SCI, 900 on the stock
and $4,000 on the fixtures, and the
building was fully insured. Yester-
day noon Henry Hall, an insurance
adjustor from Spokane, representing
the companies in which the stock and
| fixtures were insured, arrived in
| Pullman, and he, together with
Luther M. Flagg, also of Spokane.
representing the Emerson company,
will adjust the loss. 1t is probable
that the work will have progressed
far enough tonight to allow of the
opening of the front part of the store
Saturday morning, although it may
be several days before the grocery
and ladies' departm ents can be re-
opened.
Adjustor Henry Hall, who has had
years of experience with fire losses,
paid the fire departm ent a pretty
compliment, stating that the fire
had been handled as well as any he
had seen, and that the Emerson COM
pany was fortunate in not sustain
! ing a greater loss. This opinion is
shared by the many citizens who wit
messed the work of the fire boys, who
handled the flames like veterans at
the game.

Win property owners represent
ing over so per cent of the property
affected by the proposed improve
ment by paving of the principal
streets in the business district re-
monstrating, and a vote of five of
the council necessary to carry the
motion to proceed with the improve
ment over the remonstrance, there
were exciting times in the council
chamber Wednesday evening when
the matter came up for final consid-
Grafton on adjournment from the
night before. After the proposed i'm
provement had been discussed at
considerable length, Councilman j.
Nj. Palmerton moved to proceed with
the Improvement in spite of the pro-
tests. The motion was properly Sec
ended and when City Clerk Cannon
started to call the roll one could
have heard a pin drop in the council
chambers. In order to pass the mo-
ton not more than two of the seven
councilmen could vote no, and it was
an even bet whether or not the mo-
Ition would carry.
The vote showed Councilmen Pal
merton, Sanger, Kruegel, Watt and
Scott favoring the motion, while
Councilman Nye and Wagner voiced
their disapproval, and the motion to
improve the streets had carried with
out, vote to spare, despite the
strenuous protests of the property
owners, nearly one-half of whom are
non-residents.
The intention of the city council
to improve the district was declared
| in Resolution No. $50, and Tuesday
evening was set as the time for hear
ing remonstrances. The streets and
parts of streets included in the reso-
luton are as follows:
Beginning at the intersection of
Main and Spring streets, thence west
erly along Main street to the westerly
property line of Grand street; begin
ming at the northerly property line OF
Paradise street, thence northerly
along Alder street to the south end
of the bridge crossing the Palouse
river; beginning at the intersection
Of Olsen and Alder streets, thence
westerly along Olsen street to its
intersection with Grand street; be-
ginning at the south property line
of Center street, thence northerly
along Grand street to the south end
of the bridge crossing the Palouse
river.
According to the estimate of City
Engineer Edwards, the total cost OF
the Improvement will approxim ate
| $4,000. The district will be divided
into two divisions, the first division
including the frontage from the
west property line of Spring street
thence west along Main street to the
east property line of Grand street;
from the north property line of Para
disc street, north along Alder street
to the bridge crossing the Palouse
river; from the intersection of Alder
and Olson streets along Olson to it's
intersection with Grand street, and
from the south property line of Nc
Kenzie north along Grand street to
the O.-W. r. & N. tracks. The great
er part of this division is already ma

cadamized, and it is planned to lay
at a cost estimated by City Engineer
Edwards of $1.20 per square yard.
The 6,561 square yards thus i'm
proved would total $19, 873.20, while
in the same division approximately
$500 square yards will be improved,
which is not now macadamized, and
the estimated cost for this is $1.85
per square yard, or $4625 dollars.
! Excavation in this division is esti-
mated at $4158, making a grand
total cost for the entire division of
I 8,656.20.
! The second division, which will be
improved with macadam pavement
at an estimated cost of $1.2O per
square yard, includes Grand street
from the south property line of Nc
Kenzie street to Center street. In
this division 4407 square yards of
macadam pavement will be laid, at
q cost, exclusive of excavation, of
| $5288.40. Excavation is figured at
approximately $1,000, making a total
estimated cost in this division of ap-
proximately $4,000.
Engineer Edwards has added 10
per cent to his estimates in each case
for engineering and incidentals, and
a wearing surface costing $165 per
square yard in the first division in
stead of $1.20 per square yard sur
face estimated by the engineer,
would add approximately 26A per
cent to the estimated cost, although
Mr.. Edwards vontends that the sur
face can be laid at $1.20.
The entire district includes ap-
proximately 5000 feet of frontage,
and the rem onstrating property own
ers represented over 1000 feet of
this frontage.
At Tuesday evenings meeting of
the council, when the proposed i'm
p1ovement came up for final action,
Councilman j. NJ. Palmerton asserted
that the estimate of $1.20 per square
yard for the wearing surface on the
present macadam, made by City En-
gineer Edwards, was too low and
would keep several paving companies
from bidding on the Improvement.
10 prove his figures, Engineer Ed
wards offered to put the matter in
the hands of an expert engineer, who
would estimate on the improvement
and submit his estim ate to the coun-
&c Mr.. Edwards stated that in case
the figures of the expert were over
10 per cent higher than his own he
would pay all the expenses of the
new estimate, while if they did not
vary Is per cent the council should
pay them. In his estimate Engineer
Edwards stated that the cost of the
Improvement might vary 5 per cent
from his figures, and the contention
of Councilman Palmerton that he
was considerably Understanding
the cost provoked lively debate in
the council chambers, with Engineer
Edwards and Mayor Shaw on one
side and Councilman Palmerton and
Attorney f. D. Allen for the Warren
Construction company arguing for
the Increased estimate. The council
did not adopt the suggestion, how
ever, and the estimate of the city en-
| gineer will stand.

section, and this section Is visited
daily by many farmers wives and
others interested in better and moro
economical housekeeping. Each af-
ternoon talks and dem onstrations
we're given by members of the home
economics faculty of the college. The
exhibit of dietetics, which started
Tuesday and continued all through
the week, attracted unusual atten-
ton, and several of the men who
visited the women's section, probab-
ly through curiosity, remained to
listen to the explanation of the ex-
hibit by Miss Elizabeth Matthews.
and displayed as much interest as
the women themselves.
The exhibit, which Is in VanDoren
hall, and will remain in place all
through the week, Is primarily along
the lines of nutrition and consists of
three dietaries of 80 cents, 81 and
$3.50 meals for family Of five per-
sons. Charts show the food value,
cost and measure of the different
classes of food.
Too Many Ideas From Central States
1--WE have been in the habit of
getting too many farming ideas from
Minnesota, Wisconsin and other CEN
trail states and transplanting them
to the Palouse country, where condi-
tons are entirely different" said j..
a. To1mey, director of the extension
department, before the general ses-
sion Wednesday. THE place to go
for ideas concerning dry farming
which are adaptable to this section
is Utah and other states where dry
farming is practiced," continued Pro-
fessor Tormey.
