Within h Law

An idea of how strategy wins in
court is seen from the following in
cident which occurred in a small
Kentucky town.
A young man accused for house
breaking was up for trial. After un-
dergoing a stiff questioning, he was
made to understand that his offense
carried a heavy punishment. His
clever lawyer was, however, equal to
the test.
Your honor" he said, Il submit
that my client did not break into the
house at all. He found the parlor
window open, inserted his right arm
and removed a few trihing articles of
minor value. Now my clients arm
is not himself, and l fall to see how
you "a punish him for an offense
committed only by one of his limbs
THAT argument" said the Judge,
lis very well put. Following it logical,
ly, | sentence the defendants arm to
one years Imprisonment. He can ac-
company it or not, just as he chooses.
For a fleeting moment, this decision
caused a brief lull within the court
room. But it Don changed to a see
thing storm when the prisoner calm
ly unscrewed his cork arm and leav-
ing it in the dock, walked out.

PULLMAN CHAMBER
MAKES PROGRESS
Annual Report Shows Finances in
Good Shape, with Swimming Pool
Debt Cut in Half

That the Pullman chamber of com
merce has made both civic and finan-
cial progress during the past six
months period despite severe handi-
caps occasioned by the influenza cpl
demic and the general situation occa-
stoned by the war, is proved by the
Treasurer VIM. M. Porter, approved
by the chamber at its Tuesday scs-
sion. The report showed the receipts
from all sources during the six-month
period to have been $1893.77, with
penditures aggregating $1682.72,
leaving a net balance on hand of
$211.03.
The receipts included a balance
expenditures aggregating $16S2.72,
term of $227.32; interest on Savings
& Loan stock. 50; from entertain
ment committee, $32745; dues,
1880.
Included in the items of expense
were the following: Salaries $500;
telephone and telegraph, $1730; fuel,
$ll.l0; entertainment $478.37;
swimming pool $576.32; printing,
postage and office supplies, $4S.05;
boys and girls club work, 1884;
chautauqua deficit, $145.76; miscel-
laneous, $3.50.
The amount paid on the swimming
pool debt during the term reduced
that debt to $500, which, it is be-
lieved, can be taken care of during
the ensuing six-month period.
In addition to the balance on hand
in the treasury, the chamber holds
$500 in Savings & Loan stock and
maintains sinking fund of $500.
Twenty-one meetings of the cham
Dor were held during the period, with
10 meetings of the board of trustees.
The average attendance at the week
ly sessions was As.
Nine new members were added
during the term, while 40 were lost
through withdrawal, leaving a net
membership at the beginning of the
new term of PA. Twenty-Five hun
dred pieces of mail matter were sent
from the secretary's office, including
some 1000 pieces of advertising and
approximately 500 letters.

Prof Severance states that the old

cropped continuously for over 20
years, and that, according to the rec
ords which have been kept, the pro-
ductivity Of the land in its twentieth
successive crop has, in many cases
practically doubled. To the rotative
use of clover, alfalfa, peas, corn,
and other crops introduced in diversi-
fled succession, is attributed this in
creasing productive capacity of the
land.

FARMERS GO AFTER
BETTER ROAD NORTH
Chamber of Commerce Delegates
Roads Committees to Work With
Farmers in Devising Ways
and Means of Effecting
Improvement

An improved highway from Pull
man north, to or past the Kitzmiller
warehouse, is demanded by the farm
ers residing within the district affect
ed and delegation of some 20 OF the
farmers appeared before the chamber
OF commerce Tuesday TO enlist the
assistance of that organization in de-
vising ways and means of securing
the Improvement. The highway is
the only one OF the four approaches
to the city which is not improved
and at times the road is almost i'm
passable.
At the conclusion of a long dis
cussion on the proposed improve
ment, in which County Engineer Nc
Cav, County Commissioner Sanborn
and several farmers and chamber
members took part, the matter was
referred to the two standing roads
committees of the chamber, with in
structiOns to confer with commit
tee to be named by the interested
farmers. The chamber committees
were given full power to act and will
make full investigation of the pos
sibilities for securing the needed i'm
proyement through different means.
A plan favored by many of the
farmers, in case it proves feasible, is
the construction of the road under
the provisions of the Donahue act,
which would include the formation
OF road improvement district. 9th
ers have suggested that it will be
possible to complete the improve
ment with donated labor in case the
county will provide a rock crusher.
The point was raised during the
discussion that the present grade is
not an official one, and that it would
not be feasible to improve the road
before an official state grade has
been established.
Commissioner Sanborn stated his
belief that county assistance will be
available next spring, while County
Engineer McCaw voiced the opinion
that no assistance can be expected
from the state highway department,
through the maintenance funds, for
some time to come. That all the
farmers on the Whelan branch of the
road, from Kitzmiller north, have
stated their willingness to give a
man and team for a week in repair
ing that part of the road, was
brought out by Chas. Stirewalt.
There is an imperative need for
immediate improvement work on the
road in question and the farmers in
terested are insistent that it must be
done, through one means or another.

PULLMAN ABANOONS
NEW YEARS SWIM
Zero Weather Takes Pep Out of En-
thusiastic Boosters--Iklemgard
Fails to Show Up

In the face of zero weather Pull
mans proposed annual New Years
swim was abandoned. In direct con-
trast to the temperature was the
spring-like weather of last New
Years day, when, with the mercury
at SO degrees, and the robins chirp-
ing merrily, a score of Pullman citi-
zens, led by J. S. Klemgard, took a
plunge into the municipal swimming
pool. 1t was planned to make the
swim an annual affair, but the ardor
of the amphibious populace was
chilled when they arose to find their
water pipes frozen and the thermom-
eter lowering at or below the zero
mark.
The citizens whom Mr.. Klemgard
enticed into the chilly waters year
ago had designs against the enthusi-
astic booster this year and had the
prominent farmer appeared in the
city Wednesday it is highly probable
that the party might have been held
and the annuity of the event perpetu-
ated, with Klemgard himself the only
water nymph. Through mental telep-
athy, knowledge of human nature
or some other means, however, the
aforementioned prominent farmer
stayed close to his rural fireside and
the malicious designs of his last
years cohorts were thwarted.

.PULLMAN'S OLDEST LANDMARK
DESTROYED BY FIRE MONDAY

with fun partition through the
center the west half being used by
Mr. NELL as a home for The Pull
man Herald, which he had estab-
lished here the year previous. and
for his law office and Housekeeping
rooms. The east half of the struc-
ture was used by Mr.. Phillips as a
furniture store. Judge Neills son.
Roy A. Neill, now Pullman florist,
was born in the building in 1890.
In 1891 the half owned by Mr..
Phillips was sold to Vedder & Win
dus, along with the stock of furni-
ture, and in 1896 J. w. West pur-
chased the entire building, his estate
dLaposing of a half interest to Mr.
Bl2elow three years ago
The structure, then known as the
Herald block, was one of the two
buildings to survive the great fire of
1880, the other being the Palace ho-
tel, then owned by NJ. c. True, which
was destroyed by fire several years
later.
A comparison of building costs of
30 years ago with those of today is
seen in the contractors account for
the building William Buckley,
Pullman's pioneer contractor and
builder, now deceased, took the
structure on a flat contract basis of
$l4 per thousand feet for all lumber
and mill work used in its construc-
ton, this figure including all the ma
terial and labor cost. According to
Mr.. Neill the contractor made good
money at this figure, the total cost
to the owners being $500. This
sum, at the present prices of lumber
would pay for little more than half
the material required, to say nothing
OF the contractors added charge for
labor. The building has changed
hands since its erection for more
than twice its original cost.
yhe first purely local improve
ment noted on Pullman's historical
calendar was the construction of a
board walk from Alder street to a
point near the present Spring street
bridge, and this was followed within
few months by the construction of
the Herald block. The sidewalk,
which was constructed by the Pull
man Improvement association, was
fully six feet above the ground and
the Herald block was built on stills,
these being removed when the new
sidewalk grade was established. The
entire east part of the business sec
ton was owned by the Improvement
association, and the lot on which the
Herald building was constructed cost
the purchasers, Messrs. Neill and
Phillips, only 5000.
Because of it's sentimental connec-
tons, the loss of the building is
keenly regretted by pioneer residents
who have seen the city grow and
prosper during the 20 years since its
founding, but these same old-timers
point with much pride to Pullman S
consistent habit of emerging from
every calamity or loss by fire with
vastly improved buildings, and put
aside their sentiments in the happy
rejoinder: "Who knows but what
that same lot will this time next year
be the site of Pullman's proposed
new and elegant hotel?" And any
thing good proposed in Pullman soon
becomes living reality.
