age to the county road, will run close
the Ed. Ryan farm and the old Bur
gan farm, near the head of the can
yon, sent huge wall of water down
the canyon, and every fruit farm in
its path suffered considerable dam
age. The greatest amount of dam
age was done on the William Batty
place, about a mile up the canyon
from the river, where nearly 100
fruit trees were uprooted and four
outbuildings, including the black
SIN it'll shop, chicken house and gran
airy, were carried away. The loss at
this place is estimated at $4,000. At
the Thomas BattX fruit farm, farther
up the canyon, several trees were
uprooted and other damage was
done, amounting to nearly $500,
while Batty Brothers, near the foot
of the canyon, suffered loss esti-
mated at $500 from uprooted trees
and other damage to the orchards.
The county road down the canyon
was damaged to a great extent, and
it will cost thousands of dollars to
put in in good repair At the AL
powa orchards, on the river bar, so
pigs were drowned and the orchards
were badly washed out. This loss is
placed at $500.
The railroad bridge at Wawawai
was considerably damaged, and no
trains were run for three days.

C. l.. Mackenzie of CoIfaN Made an
Earnest Plea for Hard Surfaced
Roads

There was a large attendance at
the Chamber of Commerce luncheon
last Tuesday and considerable bust
ness was discussed and transacted.
c. l.. Mackenzie, the ColfaX banker,
was present and made an earnest
plea for hard surfacing the new state
aid highway between Pullman and
ColfaX. He argued that the near
ness OF water to the surface of
Spring flat will make it impossible
to build a road of crushed rock or
gravel which will stand traffic dur
ing the entire year and asserted that
two miles OF the road follows the
old creek channel and will always
be giving trouble unless it is hard
surfaced. lie quoted figures to
show that a l2-foot highway with IL
concrete base and asphaItic covering
could be constructed at a cost of
81 1000 per mile and maintained
that in the end it would be cheaper
than the initial cost and constant re-
pairs Of graVeled highway. He
argued that this road between Pull
man and ColfaX will be the most i'm
pOrtant and most travelled stretch of
highway in the county and should
be made the best The oil and
water bound macadam roads which
the county has been building have
not given value for the money they
cost, but have been beneficial as an
experiment demonstrating what
kind of roads ought not to be con-
structed. The ability of roads with
concrete base to stand up under all
conditions and at all times has been
conclusivelt dem onstrated. What
the farmers want is a road to their
market which can be used every hour
of every day of the year. He argued
that it is better to build a few miles
of this kind of highway each year
than to construct more miles of an
inferior highway which soon wears

Use of State College

Through the courtesy of Frank T..

another page an up-to-date and COM
plete map of the city of Pullman,
showing all the streets, principal
buildings, railroads, and other valu-

never before been published and will
be found invaluable in locating
streets and buildings.
An indication OF the enterprise
and thrift of the people of Pullman
is noted in the large number of
paved streets, the entire central part
of the city appearing as a "eries of
interlined streets, which indicates
paving. over 10 blocks of Pullm ans
streets are now paved, and in all
probability several more blocks will
be improved this year.

EVANSVILLE FEELS
SUNDAYS BIG STORM
Fences and Fields Suffer Heavily
Log House and Several Small

EVANSVILLE, Wash, March
23.-The worst rain storm in the
history Of the Evansville country
came last Sunday evening between
600 and ZOO o'clock, the heavy
rain being accompanied by thunder
and lightning. The rain fell in tor
rents and great deal of damage
was done to fences and to the fields.
A log house, belonging to r. b. Hat
ley, that had stood for 80 years and
was an old landmark, was washed
away, as we'll as several other small
buildings. Union Flat creek was
higher than it had been previously
this year. The storm was worse in
some places than others and had the
appearance of cloudburst

out and has to be reconstructed. He
urged that the question is OF too far
reaching Importance to be decided
hastily and without careful investi-
cation and asked the business men
OF Pullman TO reconsider their en-
dorsement of the plan of surfacing
this particular highway with crushed
rock or gravel.
An invitation from the Chamber
OF Commerce of Moscow, Idaho, to
the members of the Pullman organi-
cation to attend their annual ban
quet on Monday, March 27, and to
bring their wives and sWeethearts,
was read. Messrs. Archer, Allen
and Staley were appointed as com
mittee to arrange for an excursion
train to Moscow on that date.
superintendent Graham of the
city schools reported that arrange
ments had been completed for the
organization OF boys and girls clubs
among the pupils and that 100 had
signiGied their intention of joining,
but that to make the plan a success
a man would have to be employed to
give half his time TO supervising the
work. This would entail an expense
of $500, which at the present time
the school district is unable to APP
propriate. Unless this money can
be raised in some way he thought
it best to drop the matter for this
year.
G. II. Watt gave a report of the
meeting of the executive committee
of the Whitman County Tax League
and outlined their plans for financ-
ing the movement and securing re-
suits.
j. NJ. Reid called attention to the
distractions in the channel of Dry
Fork creek which caused it to over
flow last Sunday night and to the
rough condition of south Grand
street
1t was suggested that the streets
leading to the college should be
cleaned up before the inauguration
exercises and Councilman Scott
agreed to see that the work is done.

night a small n. p. bridge at Fal-
