tanned the high school Saturday
evening, October IA, by giving a
masquerade in the high school gym
nasium. The decorations were of a
Halloween design, the walls being
hung with black cats and witches.
The costumes were many and varied.
Miss Doris Walter, dressed as an In
dian princess, and Harry George, in
clerical garb, were awarded the
prizes for being most appropriately
dressed.
Awakening to the fact that they
had no constitution, the Sophomore
class in the form of a committee OF
three met Wednesday evening, De-
tober 8 and formulated one.
The siX-weeks reports of the stu
dents of Pullman high school will be
complete and ready for mailing to
the parents today.
Owing to the lack of room in the
high school building an additional
room was built in the upper hall
way, Mr.. Savage will conduct his
class in the new room, Mr. Kennedy
taking room 6. This new arrange
ment places the physics room on the
upper floor, where the light and
ventilation are much better.
With the idea of starting a Y. NJ.
G. A. in the high school, Mr.. Hol-
lingsworth, the student secretary,
addressed the boys of the high
school Monday evening Mr. Hol-
lingsworth explained the Y NJ. c. A.,
its aims and its motives, after which
he answered numerous questions
about the restrictions and advant-

Mining Engineer w. E. Main, gen
eral manager of the Northwest Mines
Development company and the Walla
Walla Copper company, advises that
they will renew operations, with ad-
ditional men, and plan to put in q
high tension line and to equip their
Walla Walla property with machin-
cry to block out the ore they now
have determined exists in their prop
erty. Recently in sinking their VIM
they encountered six feet of colcopy-
rite ore which assayed 10 per cent
copper. The Manila mine, owned
by the Farr brothers, formerly of
Pullman, is now under bond to the
Northwest Mines Development COM
pany. This company has also bond
ed the Rebecca mine. Both of these
are exceptionally fine low grade prop
critics and with railroad transporta-
ton both will become large produc-
ers. The Addison Copper company
has had four men and team getting
out new tim Der to re-timber their
l 50-foot shaft and are removing the
muck and debris from this shaft.
A contract has just been complet-
ed for driving their mammoth tun-
mel into the mountain. Arrange
ments were made for continuing by
contract the tunnel further into the
mountain. We should within 80
days be into the ledge and ore, and
from there on we should be sacking
and shipping our high grade ore.
Tests made by the Cranky Consol-

SANBORN IS STRONG
. WITH WHITMAN VOTERS
Republican Candidate for Commits
sioner Is Receiving Liberal Sup.
poIt-HaS Been Pullman
Resident Thirty Years

J. b. Sanborn OF Pullman, repub-
lcan candidate for comm issioner
from this district, reports liberal sup
port from all parts of the county. Mr..
Sanborn is making well organized
campaign for votes and is we'll
pleased with his prospects for cleo
ton. Mr.. Sanborn has been resi-
dent of Pullman for 80 years, hav-
ing come here in 1856 from the state
of Maine. He opened a harness shop
and conducted the business with sue
cess until three years ago, with the
exception of four years, when he took
a well earned vacation. AS a citizen
OF Pullman and Whitman county he
has given freely of his time, ability
and energy in the interests of the
public veal. and for 10 years occu-
pied seat in the city council, where
his excellent work in the interests of
the municipality marked him as
man of broad vision, excellent judg-
while Mr.. Sanborn was a member of
the council that the agitation for
we'll paved streets and other munici-
pal improvements started, and he
was always found anxious and will
ing to lend his hand and exert his in
fluence and office to making Pull
man a better town.
Mr. Sanborn is making his cam,
paign on a platform of economy and
efficiency, pledging himself. if elect
ed to work at all times in the inter
ests Of the taxpayers of this district
and the entire county. He stands
for an equal distribution of the
county road funds, and voices his alb
solute opposition to the enactment of
any measure that would tend to
weaken the present prohibition law.
During his 80 years residence here
Mr. Sanborn has proved an ideal
citizen, always awake to the posi-
bilities for improvement and devel-
opment, and the interests of the tax
payers of Whitman county would be
safe in his hands.
With NJ. d. Henry as the demo-
cratic candidate for the commission
er's berth, the race resolves itself in
TO one between two good men, each
eminently qualified for the position.
and both willing to devote their time
to the interests of their constituents.
Both are pioneers of Pullman, who
have done much toward making it
the town that it is today, and either
could be safely entrusted with the re-
sponsibilitieS of the office. Ehe two
men are staunch friends of many
years standing, they are making
clean and honorable campaigns, and
whichever wins1he honor is sure to
receive hearty handclasp and con-
gratulations from the other, with
friendship undiminished.

turn OH the iuNGSlillGllL.
While at Republic recently j. R.
Sovereign, editor and publisher of
the San Poll Eagle, the only news
paper on the south half of the Col
Vile Indian reservation, at Keller,
Ferry county, Wash, was invited by
President w. T. Beck of the Spokane
&c B. c. Ry. Co., to go over the COM
pany's line, now in operation between
Republic, Wash, and Grand Forks,
b. c., where it intersects with the
Canadian Pacific Ry. Co. President
Beck wanted to prove that the part
of their railroad had been recon
structed and re-equipped from a mere
spur line, 4 3 miles in length, which
it was, to perfect standard trunk
line railroad. President Beck added
do you suppose our company would
make all these substantial improve
ments and practically rebuild its
present line in preparation for heavy
through traffic if we did not intend
extending the road down the San Poll
valley through Keller and on to Spo-
kane?"
President Beck then explained that
the railroad was assured and the mat
ter was being worked out as fast as
could be expected. And that the
anviatv of tho cOmnanv IN huiId tho
railroad was greater than the anX-
iety of the people to have it built,
for the reason, as he stated, thou
sands of dollars the company had
paid the government and private
citizens for the right-of-way and sur
veys would be total loss if the road
was not built

STATE FEDERATION
OF WOMEN'S CLUBS

To the Women of Washington:
By some mischance political cir
cular has been issued from Tacoma
in which the Washington State Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs seems to
be committed to a certain attitude
on the referendum measures. Upon
these circulars there is a stamp ped
signature of the former press chair
man, as chairman of the publicity
committee of the federation. This
former press chairman has not been
a member of tlfis committee since
last June and it is understood that
she is now absent from the state. The
federation respects the fact that no
club woman wishes to be instructed
how to vote. and that each measure
must stand on its own merits and be
judged by each woman for herself.
These measures are unendorsed by
the federation.
Cordially yours,
MRS. SOLON SHEDD,
