PURPLE BADGES

Printedi Delegation Grows
With Late Arrivals.

Now increased to sixty men, the
cowboys reunion delegation from Las
Vegas, has attracted no little atten-
tion among the convention visitors.
Each member Of the delesation has
constituted himself a committee of
one TO tell every man. woman and
child about the Las Vegas show on

about the matter of advertising the
reunion in III businesslkc manner.

cial club ana discuss the number Of
men to whom they have spoken and
lay definite plans for the entire day.
The purple badges which the reunion
boys are wearing have proved so pop

take care of the demand New Mex

helping the food work of advertising

Besides the badges and buttons, the
cowboys reunion also has neat cards

of what sort of show the BOYS pulled

are being distributed.
The Cowboys Reunion association is
very proud of the fact that it is the
only contest association i'm the country
exclusively owned and operated ~ the

The coming of the cowboys reunion

nothing exorbitant. The eight

innate and reasonable demand
and entails no great hardship on
the railroad concerns. Consider

are themselves enjoying, they are
justly due TO grant 1.-THE OF theft

very backbone of their CONNER

of workers who are harder work

the prosperity OF business than
are those who pilot the tramc OF
the country over the transporta-
ton routes. And, in no business
is there a demand for higher
percentage OF etnciency, intelli-
gence or character than is requir-
ed OF the men engaged in railroad
traffic.
Considering the exacting nature
OF their duties, an eight hour day
is no more than they are entitled
to and the demand therefor
should be immediately and cheer

costs enters into the matter but

up to mislead the people into an
attitude antagonistic to the train

80 far as observed, there is
even an absence OF the usual de-
nunclat,ons OF "exorpitant de-
manQs," which also betrays a
weakness in the cause OF the rail
roads. Taxing their own state

it appears that the railroaQs fully
recognize the justice of the de-
mand for an eight hour day but
are not inclined to accede thereto
on the general principle that a
grant to labor is a blow at their
own power and privileges. The
truth of the matter is that the
railroads have no adequate de-
tense to make in the present Sit
nation.

WORK WILL START ON
NEW GAS PLANT CD
Representative of l.. n. Burnett Saws
Holders of Franchise Hope to
Have Plant in Operation
This Summer

A slight ray of hope was injected
into the gas plant situation this
week when the city officials received
a letter from W. c. Morris. repre-
senting the l.. II. Burnett interests.
holders of the gas franchise, In
which it was stated that the COM
pany hopes to have the plant in OPP
Grafton before the hot weather puts
in an appearance. The correspond
ent mentions as potent factors in
causing the long delay in starting
work on the proposed plant the
shortage of materials due to the
European war and the inability of
the houses to furnish material on
early orders. Mr.. Morris said in
substance
I'VE are anxious to start work on
the gas plant and will do so at an
early date. The rise in the material
market has worked Il hardship and
it is almost impossible to tell how
soon we can get material on the
ground under the present condi-
tions. The houses are slow to take
orders for early delivery, but we
hope to have the plant ready for OPP
GRAFTON by the time hot weather ar
riVes. We would feel better if the
sjtiynnC Of
a stronger desire for gas for heating
and cooking purposes"
The time period set by the ordi-
nance granting the franchise for
starting actual operations toward
the construction of the plant has
long since passed and it is alleged
that by their "watchful waiting" pol
icy the grantees have violated sew
eral sections of the franchise, but
the measure has not been revoked
in the hope that the holders of the
franchise might ultimately become
imbued with the spirit of enterprise
and progressiveness which has taken
a firm hold on the people of Pull
man and get busy. Pullman people
would undoubtedly give substantial
support to we'll appointed gas
plant but would like to see an evil
dence of good faith on the part
of the franchise holders.
The franchise, to cover period
of so years, was granted in August
of last year, and the grantees were
bound to start actual construction
operations within 60 days.

RACK CLUB WORK
Of BOYS AND GIRLS
Pullman Chamber of Commerce
Guarantees Money Required to
Foster Movement in Whit
man County

The Pullman Chamber of Com
MERGE gave another proof OF the en-
terprise and public spirit of its mem
hers last Tuesday by voting to guar
antee the $3.50 required, in order to
secure for the boys and girls clubs
of Whitman county the $500 offered
nv the extension departm ent and the
$3.50 donated by the state depart
ment of education to assist in the
club work in any county which raises
$3.50 for the same purpose. The
county commissioners had been petit
toned to make the appropriation but
while all members of the board were
favorable to the plan, they found
that the law would not permit them
to donate money out of the county
funds
Several strong speeches were made
on the Importance of the work and
the necessity for prompt action. A
motion was then made that the Pull
man Chamber of Commerce guaran-
tee the necessary $3.50, and it was
carried without opposition. The 5000
thus made available will be used to
employ a man to organize and super
wise the work of the clubs, and the
extension department Of the college
has selected Bruce Lampson for this
position. Arrangements for clubs
have already been made at Albion,
Palouse, Garfield and Pullman, and
many other schools in the county
will now probably join in the cam
paign. Garden, canning. poultry,
potato, corn, pig, bird and rabbit
clubs will now be organized. All
boys and girls between the ages of
eight and Is years inclusive are eli
gible to membership, and will be
enrolled in the national organiza-
ton. Each member has to keep an
accurate account of the cost of what
he or she produces.
In September a fair at which the
products of the county clubs will be
exhibited is to be held, and from the
prize winning products an exhibit

GET SEWER SERVICE
FOR MONROE Street
Property Owners Announce Inten-
ton of Joining Limits and Are
Granted Sewer Rights

Evidencing an intention of enter
ing the city limits as soon as resi-
dences can be established, e. H. Duff
fey, +. n. Bryant, f. NJ. Handy and
f. J. Osterman, owners Of property
on Monroe street on College hill,
were Tuesday evening granted sewer
privileges by the city fathers. A six
inch sewer will be laid along the
east side of Monroe street, from the
south line of the Duffey property
and a terminal will be made on Cal
ifornia street All the work will be
done by the city and the petitioners
guarantee to pay all costs and as
sessments of the Improvement.
The petitioners recently asked
sewer privileges and the request was
granted. but the action was recind-
ed at a special meeting held the fol-
lowing day, when it was discovered
that the city had violated a preced-
ent in granting such privileges to
property owners residing outside the
corporate limits. The petitioners
then asked that their property be
included in the municipal limits, but
such action was impossible inasmuch
as the necessary percentage OF the
owners did not reside on the prop
erty in question. The owners an
nounce that a second request for adj
mittance will be made as soon as
their residences are established.
The sewer will accommodate all
property owners on Monroe street
between California and Garfield
streets.

SEARCH FOR BODY IN VAIN

\ large number OF business men
last Saturday afternoon joined in an
organized search for the body of
Gail Tomson, the four-year-old boy
who was supposedly drowned in the
South Palouse river two weeks ago.
Although the creek bed and under
brush for several miles below Pull
man was searched in thorough
manner, no trace OF the body of the
missing tot was found, and the fear
that the body may have been carried
for many miles by the raging tor
rents or buried in the mud was
strengthened. The boys mother
spends a large part of each day
searching for the body and her grief
has no bounds.
