Many Matters Disposed of by City
Fathers at Weekly Meeting
California Street Residents
Ask Paving

Tuesday evenings session of the
city council was one of the busiest for
many months and various and sundry
matters, some Of considerable i'm
p0rtance, others of lesser conse-
quence, occupied the attention of the
city fathers. Among the more inn
purtant business transacted was the
decision to pave Maiden Lane despite
pI otests, which is related in another
column.

W. l.. Roderick in the Roderick Tai
loring company, asked perm isson to
build an extension to the building
occupied by the concern and the mat
ten was referred 20 the fire and water
committee with full power to act.
The Washington Water Power
company was granted permission to
erect a two-story brick structure on
their property on Main street, de-
scribed as lot of block IA of the or
iginal city of Pullman. The building
will be 27x58 feet and the lower floor
will be used as an office and store
room by the company, while the up
per floor will be devoted to the use
of the local manager.
Property owners residing on Cali
fornia street submitted a petition
asking that that street be improved
by paving, but action was deferred
until more names could be secured
10 the pethition.
The ordinance providing for a
sewer on Military hill was read first,
second and third times and passed.
NJ objections being made against the
proposed storm sever on College hill,
the ordinance providing for the
sewer was passed and the city clerk
was authorized to advertise for bids
for the improvements provided by
beth the ordinances.

w. H. Albright, manager of the
Pullman theater, has made arrange
ments to secure the motion pictures
depicting the battle of Gettysburg,
and has displayed his patriotism by
announcing that all old soldiers will
be admitted to the theater free of
charge. The pictures are in six reels
and are highly recommended by
those who have seen them. They will
be shown during the last two days
of the encampment, Friday and Sat-
urday.
The program committee has al
ready made arrangem ents for several
good numbers, and the Pullman banu
has offered it's services for each
evening during the encampment
Professor w. b. Strong, director of
the college band, glee club, and or
chestra, has promised every assist
, ance possible in making the pro-
grams attractive. Martial music will
be furnished by the fife and drum
corps from Reno Post, No. AT, Of
Spokane.
The business men of Pullman have
donated nearly 5000 to defray the
expenses of the encampment, and
were almost unanimous in their
promise to add tO their donations IL
found necessary. 1t is probable, how
ever, that even the amount donated
will not all be required and in this
case the am ount offered by each
business man will be reduced in pro-
portion to the expenses.
Posters advertising the encamp,
ment will be sent to every town in
Whitman and Latah counties, and
rlany visitors will be in Pullman for
the occasion.

Kamerrer; vocal solo, Miss Fannie

history related by each of the pio-
neer Changers, as they were called
upon by the worthy lecturer, j. T.
La Toilette, concerning the first set
Ting of this Palouse country, and of
the organization of that early Grange
al d of the others which were organ
lied later. Worthy State Master c.
r. Kegley was presented and gave

PRINTERS HUMBLE BARRIERS

The local printers gave the BARRIERS
their annual drubbing last Sunday
afternoon to the tune of 1873, and If
numerous runs, hits and errors make
successful game of baseball the
fans who witnessed the contest had
no reason to complain. The BARRIERS
were outclassed at every stage of the
game, and even the much-touted
finger, Joe Dew, was hit to every
corner of the lot. Joe's surplus ay-
oirdupois proved too great handi-
cap and he gave way to Doane in the
fifth inning, but the merry crack of
the printers bats continued unabat-
ed. Chiffon pitched a good game
for the typestickers and McCurly, be-
hind the bat, performed in big league
style.
Previous to the printer-barDer con-
flict the Pullman Boosters were
handed the short end of a 1872 score
b: an aggregation of college players.

WHAT ABOUT THE sUB-sTATION?

Pullman people are beginning to
wonder what has happened to the
proposed postofficc sub-station which
was recently authorized to be estab-
lished by Postal Inspector Fullen-
weider. Before the office can be es-
tablished it will be necessary to in
clude that strip of the college campus
on which the library building is To-
Gated in the municipal limits, and
before an election for this purpose
can be called petition, signed by
the residents of that strip of land
must be presented to the city eoun-
ell. So far as can be ascertained
nothing has been done toward I'M
winding the red tape necessary 10
the establishment of the sub-station,
which is badly needed.

This motion, made by Councilman J.
Scott and supported by Council
man Swain, passed the city council
at its meeting Tuesday evening with
only one dissenting vote, that of
Councilman Ira N. Nye, and the pro-
test of interested Maiden Lane prop
erty owners availed them nothing.
Tuesday evening was the time set
by the council for hearing protests on
the proposed Maiden Lane paving, in
cluded in preliminary Resolution No
269, and 20 property owners, repre-
senting total frontage in the dis
trict of 2440 feet, had attached their
signatures to the protest which was
filed for consideration. The petition
requesting the improvement of the
district, which had previously been
presented to the council, and on the
strength of which the city fathers
again took the Maiden Lane paving
under advisement after it had once
been voted down, represented origin
ally 1884 feet, but since it was ciled
two names, those of E. G. Gill and
MIS- Myrtle Zimmerman, have been
withdrawn, leaving a total frontage
represented in the petition of o7S4
feet, or balance of 344 feet in favor
of the improvement.

Demands of Thos. Hays for S1119.7O

by Committee

Thos. Hays, who presented to the
school board of District No. SO
claim for $1119.70 for injuries sus-
tanned by his daughter, Grace Hays,
on December 13, 1918, when the rail-
ing on the balcony of the high school
gymnasium gave way, has agreed to
an arbitration of the claim, and the
matter will be decided next week by
committee composed of J. n. EN-
erson, George McCroskey, f. M.
Slagle, Nj. S. lamar and j. M. Reid.
1t was requested that the matter be
left in the hands of the executive
committee of the Pullman Taxpayers
association, but on account of their
connection with the school board as
member and county com mission, b.
L. Campbell and NJ. w. Whitlow
asked to be replaced and Mr.. Emer-
son and Mr.. lamar were substituted.
Several claims were presented to
the board as a result of the accident,
which plunged several young ladies
to the floor below and resulted in
more or less serious injuries to some
of them, but all have been settled
with the exception of the Hays claim
and that of Mr.. Courtney, which is
for a small amount. Miss Hays was
probably the most seriously injured
of the young ladies, having struck
on her head and face. For several
days after the accident she bled free
ly from the nose and mouth and it
was feared that she was internally
injured.

s~tnburne In Gorgeous Array, APP.

Flaming Apparition.

An amusing story of Swinburne is
told by Edmund Gosse. At the age of
twenty-three Swinburne was sent to
study history under Bishop Stubs,
who was then in charge of country
parish In Essex. He arrived th&.ss on
a Saturday and was excused &StSnd.
ance at Sunday morning church on the
ground that he must be tired with his
Journey.
He had breakfast in bed, but finding
II glorious morning he arrayed him
self in scarlet slippers and a light
crimson dressing gown, sauntered into
the garden and leaned pensively over
the gate, with his red hair flaming bril-
iantly in the sunlight.
The church bells were ringing and
the parishioners had all to pass the
parsonage gate to get to church. But
none of them dared to pass the fam
ing apparition, and all came to halt.
The church bells stopped, but at the
instance of the vicar, who could not
believe that all the parishioners had
deserted him, were rung again.
At last the boldest man in the vii
lage bolted past the gate and the resi-
stampeded after him, Swinburne gaZ
