Past Six Months Has Been Period of
Activity in Chamber of Com
merce-Much Good Work
Accomplished

The semi-annual report of Secre-
tary William M. Porter, read before
the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce Tuesday evening shows a six
month period of progress and activ-
ity unprecedented in the history of
the booster organization. The re-
port of Secretary Porter in full is as
follows:
Since our semi-annual meeting in
November 26 meetings of the cham
Der and the same number of meet
ings of the board of trustees have
been held. The average attendance
at the regular meetings has been 80,
and at two open meetings the aver
age attendance was 80.
The present membership is 121.
There have been sent out about
5000 pieces of mail matter. OF this
number about $500 pieces were adj
vertising matter and 500 letters.
Some of the things accomplished
and attempted by the chamber dur
ing the six-month period are as fol-
lows:
The hog show, held in December,
was by far the best ever held, both
in quantity and quality of the ex-
hibits and interest manifested.
The railway and immigration COM
mittee has induced the N. P. Rail-
way company to install a wigwag
signal at the Kamiaken street cross
ing.
Ten thousand circulars, contain
ing letters from few of the leading
farmers near Pullman, have been
printed, and supplies sent to San
Francisco and Spokane. A number
of scenes of this locality have been
sent to the N. P. Railway company
at Spokane for use in their tourists
information bureau.
The chamber has assisted in Sc
curing signatures to assure the COM
pletion of the state-aid road from
Pullman to Colfax.
Through the assistance of a num-
Der of surrounding commercial clubs
a scenic route for automobilists has
been established from Spokane
through Pullman, Lewiston, Pom
Ieroy, Dayton, Waitsburg. Walla

depot was filled with rock at a cost
of $3.50 to the chamber, and a COM
mittee has been appointed, with full

being dumped into the creek.

lions and had been a persistent
trouble maker. They further al
legged that the trouble was brought
to head when they refused to loan
Sarach additional money!.
Sarach, on the other hand,
claimed that he had been the unwit-
ting tool of Miller and Standish, and
that they had at frequent intervals
received shipments of beer and
whiskey in his name and without his
sanction. He stated that on Saturday
a shipment of beer was received and
that the attempt of the expressman
to collect the charges from him
aroused his ire and prompted him to
inform against his countrymen.
