FARMERS PLAN FOR
COOPERATIVE MARKET
Pullman Local of Farmers Union In
vestigating Feasibility of Estab-
fishing Meat Market
in This City

The establishment of a cooper
atiye meat market in Pullman, the
produce for which would be supplied
direct by farmers in the vicinity, was
proposed at the business meeting of
Pullman local. No. 9, of the Farmers
Union on Wednesday afternoon. The
meeting was the regular session of
the local and was held in the Knights
of Pythias hall A dinner was served
before the business session.
Plans for the cooperative market
are now being considered by members
of the Union. 1t is the expectation
that a great saving can be made by
the meat being supplied directly to
the market in lieu of it being shipped
to Spokane and then back to Pull
man to be placed on sale. The sur
plus of live stock supplied by the
farmers would be shipped cooper
atlNely 10 market, according to the
plans under consideration. The con-
viction prevails among many mem
bers of the Union that a better price
could be secured by the farmers for
their live stock and that the meat
could still be sold at lower rate to
Pullman consumers through the
elimination of the present costly
methods of handling.
While no definite action has been
taken on the proposal the plans are
being considered by members of the
local and the feasibility of the project
Is being investigated. In all probable
ity further action will be taken on
the proposition at a later meeting of
the Union.

SCHOOL ELECTION
AROUSES INTEREST
VIII BE Held Saturday,, March j.
Polls Open From 100 60 ZOO
O'Clock L. VI.

Pullman people are beginning 10
sit up and take notice of the school
election which will be held Saturday
March 3. The voting will be done at
the high school building and the
polls will open at 100 O'CLOCK and
close at ZOO p. m.
One director for a term of three
years will be chosen to succeed b. f.
Campbell
Mr.. Campbell has yielded to the
wishes of his friends and consented
to become candidate for re
election. Incipient booms for sew
eral other possibilities have been
launched. Among those mentioned
are Attorney ID. c. Dow, Frank
Klossner and l.. c. Guthrie. Mr.
Guthrie is a we'll known farmer, ly-
ing outside of the city, but within the
school district.
What to do about the Edison
school remains a veXed problem.
Some demand that a bond issue be
made and a new building erected at
once Others favor using the present
building for another year, but buying
the vacant lot at the corner of Colo
RADIO and Ruby streets and adding it
to the present school yard. Still
others advocate abandoning the use
of the Edison building and providing
cOnveyances to take the children
from College hill to the Franklin
building, which, except for the heat
ing plant, is in good condition.
Another plan lately suggested is
that the Edison property be sold and
the funds derived therefrom be used
to buy property on the south side
of Maiden lane about opposite the
Graystone inn. Here a two-story
building could be erected, one story
on a level with the street and one
story below. A few steps down the
hill from the back of the building
would lead to Reaney park. This
plan also includes the purchase Of
the triangle between the Northern
Pacific track and the bluff, for use
as a play ground.
While none of these plans may be
adopted by the board they are
arousing considerable discussion and
promise to inject a good deal of pep
into the election.

MUST VOTE BONDS
FOR LARGER SEWER
Nearly 1000 Feet of Pipe viii BE
Required To Replace
Old Line.

Citizens of Pullman must vote on
the question of issuing bonds to the
extent of approximately $1,000 for the
construction of a new trunk line sew
er running from State street 10 the
city's septic tank on Guy street The
proposed new line will be $500 feet
III length and will replace the old
sewer that has been declared too
mall to serve that portion OF the
city.
The question of replacing the old
line arose last year and City Engi-
neer Meyers prepared an estimate of
the cost of the Improvement, the
amount being in the neighborhood
Of $4,000. No action was taken by
he city council until Tuesday ev-
ening when the members of that
body declared there is an urgent
need for the new line. The city at
to prepare an ordinance giving no
tice of the bond election and the
date selected and presenting the
necessary data to the citizens quail
flied to vote on the question. The
election can not be held for about
60 days from the time of the pre-
paration of the ordinance.
The need for a new sewer line
arises from the connection of an 49,
inch line with an eight-inch one run
ming to the tank, the smaller pipe
being inadequate to carry the waste
from the larger one. 1t is expected
that either a / s. or an l8-inch line
will be installed to replace the small
one. though the size has not been
definitely determined. Estimates on
the cost of the line of either size
will be prepared by the city engi-
neer, but it is expected that in either
case bonds to the extent of about
$4,000 must be issued to handle the
work.
