CHAMBER GOOD ROADS MEETING
DREW BIG CROWD TUESDAY

bonding the county. without getting
the best results. He maintained that
the cost of road building is not 60
ing TO decline and that it is foolish
TO postpone road construction. He
claimed that under the Donahue act
the county becomes responsible for
90 per cent of the bonds issued, the
road district for % per cent and the
special district, including the land
for two miles on each side of the
road, for the remaining % per cent.
IEis assertion was disputed by Coun-
ty Commissioner J. B. Sanborn. who
said that the county is not respOn-
sible for the bonds. He outlined The
road construction program of the
county commissioners which he be-
lieyes can be completed without a
county bond issue
Harold J. Doolittle, assistant state
highway engineer, in charge of con-
struction in northeastern Washing
ton, said that work on completing
the gap between Uniontown and the
Idaho line was being started and
would be completed by fall. Grading
OF the eastern branch of the Inland
Empire highway between Garfield
and Oakesdale will be finished this
year, and the survey between Gar
field and Pullman will be made and
the location of the road definitely
fixed. The county expects to surface
the highway between Rosalia and
Oakesdale. He called attention to
the need of improving a half mile
OF the Genesee, Idaho, road, which
lies in this state. While it is part
CT the Idaho system that state can
not improve it because this little
piece is located in Washington.
Senator Oliver Hall of Colfax gave
a brief history of the inception and
development of definite good roads

gram was planned and is being car
/ ried out to serve the best interests
of the whole state and the men who
have no broader vision than to i'm
prove the roads in their own county
will have little influence. He called
attention to the fact that the people
are to vote on proposition to bond
the state for road building at the
next election and argued that the
possible result of this vote should be
considered in determining the ques
ton of bonding the county. He said
that he had not made up his mind re
garding the wisdom of the latter
proposition and felt that it should be
very carefully studied and all the
facts brought out before action is
taken.
After the meeting Mr. Guilbert
and Mr. Adams gave an illustrated

Men Prominent i'm the Better Roads
Movement We're Guests of the
Chamber of Commerce

There was big attendance at the
chamber of commerce supper Tues
day evening to hear the good roads
question discussed by prominent an
thorlties, in order to assist the au-
dltors in making up their minds re-
garding the wisdom of bonding the
county for the construction of roads
Frank w. Guilbert, secretary Of
the Spokane County Good Roads as
ISOLATION and executive secretary of
the National Parks Highway associ-
alton was the first speaker. He
strongly advocated a bond issue for
the construction of unified system
OF highways to be constructed where
most needed and where they would
connect with one another. He ar
gued that under the present plan of
constructing short stretches of road
here and there, all over the county
the best results can not be attained
Re estimated the funds which would
be available for Whitman county
roads during the next two years to be
approximately as follows: From ma
tional government, 100000; auto
licenses, $4,000; permanent high
way fund, $4,000; county road and
bridge fund, $1S4,000; road district
funds, $184.000. He estimated the
average haul of wheat from the
farms to be five miles and the aver
age cost per ton, per mile, to be 40
cents, and figured that $4,000 a
year could be saved on this cost as
the result of good roads. He esti-
mates that It costs $4,000 per mile to
construct a road surfaced with gravel
and $4,000 to construct a paved
road. He maintained that no read
should be paved before two years af-
ter graded, in order that it might
have time to settle, the drainage
faults corrected and the weak places
reinforced. He asserted that bond
issue of $2,5OO,O0O could be paid off
in 20 years from the end of the con-
struction period, by three-mill tax,
and that the roads would outlive the
maturity of the bonds. He present
ed three different plans for bonding
and left them with Secretary Thorpe
for the information of any who are
interested.
Fred Adams of Spokane, speaker
OF the lower house of the last state
!, legislature and field secretary of the
National Parks Highway association,
was next on the program. He ex-
planned the Donahue act, which he
maintained, virtually provided for

HALL GIRLS CREATE
CLEVER DISPLAY
Fashion Show Attracts Big Crowd
Co-eds Pose as Living Models for
Fashionable Apparel

The girls of Stevens Hall decorated
the windows of the Emerson Mercan-
tile companys establishment last Sat-
urday, beginning the window-dressing
contest for all organizations on the
campus which is being staged by EN-
erson's. Each organization Is to put
on a window display, using materials
furnished by the store, the best win
dow display to receive cash prize of
$25. Aside from the cash prize each
organization will receive $3.50 for
efforts expended.
Stevens Hall decorated four win
dows, their displays of ready-mads
women's wear and of silk drapes
showing up to particular advantage.
Their other two exhibits consisted of
novelty window and an infants
window, both of which were we'll ar
ranged.
Saturday afternoon saw the stag
ing of 8 fashion show in the big win
dow at the front of the store. While
large and appreciative crowd lined
the sidewalk, the girls from the hall,
acting as models, displayed to advant-
age the latest things in afternoon and
evening wear suits and coats.
AS the first of the series of win
dow displays, the efforts of the Ste
vens Hall girls certainly answered all
expectations, bidding fair to carry
off another prize for that organiza-
ton, unless the coming displays are
up to the dot. The windows of the
Emerson store will certainly be CEN
ter of interest and curiosity during
the next 10 weeks, at least for all of
the frivolous sex.
Thelma Mohanes was in charge OF
the various committees for Stevens
Hall. Miss Hague and Miss Melon
aid arranged the window containing
dress materials and footwear. Miss
Carpenter and Miss Himmelsback dis
played the infant wear, Miss Barclay
and Miss WATSON had charge of the
window with the dainty lingerie, and
Miss kirkland and Miss Henessey
dressed the ready-tO-wear window,
making an effective background for
the Fashion Show.
Saturday afternoon the Misses Nc
Donald, Cunningham, Barclay and
Beausoleil showed the spring wear
ing apparel.

]. ". ROBINSON BUYS
THE MODEL BAKERY
Will Move From Present Quarters as
Soon as New Bake Oven Can
BE Constructed

A deal was consummated this week
by which the two Pullman bakeries
will be consolidated. j. w. Robin
son has purchased from r.. Nj. Reck
the Model bakery with all its equip
ment except the soda fountain and
baking machinery BY the terms of
the deal which involved a considera-
ton of some 100000 Mr.. Robinson
will take possession of the Model
bakery at once. He plans to build a
large, modern bake oven and, until
it is completed, will do all the baking
at his present quarters, but will
close the front part of his bakery
next week and conduct his retail and
restaurant business in the front part
of the Model.
He will serve three meals day,
breakfast, luncheon and supper, on
the same plan that he has been run
ming his popular noon day luncheon,
He states that he proposes to install
the best modern equipment and to
employ only skilled help, believing
that one large, high class bakery can
serve the community more satisfac-
torily than two smaller ones.
Mr.. Robinson has been in business
in Pullman for about 8 months and
during that time has made many
friends and built up a large and
steadily increasing business.
Mr.. Beck has bought bakery at
Bremerton and will move his baking
machinery and soda fountain to that
city. He bought the Model bakery
nine years ago and has greatly I'M
proved the plant and developed the
business. Both he and Mrs. Beck
leave a large circle of friends, VINO
will regret their departure but wish
them the best of fortune in their
new venture.

CITY MUST CONTROL CEMETERY

City Attorney D. c. Dow has been
instructed by the council to draft an
ordinance covering the control of the
city cemetery in accordance with the
state laws governing municipalities.
Under the law it is not legal to dele
gate outside persons or organizations
to assume charge of municipal enter
prises for which taxes are levied.
This makes it impossible for the city
to vest authority for the control of
the cemetery in some other organiza-
ton, and other means of taking care
of the burying ground must be de-
vised.

GI)UNC|L CONSIDERS
SUNDAY OPENING
poouest of r. w. Struppler for Per-
mission 30 Open Grand Theatre
sundays Made Special Order
of Business for May 6

The city council is again tussline
nth the Sunday theatre problem as
tbe result of petition from P. w.
struppler, proprietor of the Grand
theatre. for councilmanic permission
10 omen his show house Sundays. The
petition was presented to the coun-
iii at the session Wednesday evening,
Int owing to the fact that two coun-
c,lmen were absent, action was de-
farred and the petition was made a
special order of business for the
meeting of May 6. Following the
reading OF the petition last night
Councilman w. c. Kruegel moved
that the request be denied Thesmo-
ton was seconded by Councilman j.
P Duthie and a lengthy discussion
ensued with the fathers of the mo-
ton apparently opposed to granting
the petition and the other three
eouncilmen present, f. V. Roth, j.
e. Hammond and U. G. Lawler, non
committal, but not openly unfavor-
able. Action on the motion wars de-
ferred until the next meeting in def
erence to the absentees.
The two absentees, DR.. A. A.
Rounds and Ira n. Nye, will prob
ably cast the deciding votes at the
meeting of May 6, with proponents
of the Sunday opening proposal
claiming that an affirmative vote by
either of the two councilmen will
result in the opening of the theatres
on Sunday.
The last Sunday opening agitation
followed the request of E. F. EN-
mick, then proprietor of the Grand
theatre, for permission to open his
show house on Sundays some three
years ago, The question at that time
was referred to the voters of the city
and petitions were circulated by botn
factions The results showed a ma
lority OF signers in opposition to
granting the petition and the coun-
Gil voted the request down.
Sentiment on the question appears
Iaifiy evenly divided and neither
faction is claiming more than sin
gie vote majority when the petition
Is considered by the council. 1t is
expected that petitions will be circu-
lated during the three weeks interim
from the presentation of the petition
to action by the council.
