eral fire truck, equipped with power

fire hose, ladders, buckets, and other
apparatus. could be purchased for
the city of Pullman, according to
the report of H. l.. Hathaway, a

Federal fire trucks are of two-ton
capacity, with self starter and pneu-
matte tires, and fully equipped either
for an incipient blaze or a big con-
flagration.
While the city has not sufficient
funds available to purchase the APP

said to favor the transferring of the
required amount from this fund to
purchase the apparatus and it's re-
turn to the water fund next year
when provision for the expense will
be made in the annual budget
The matter will be considered by
the council at its meeting on August

EMPLOYMENT AGENCY

The question of the establishment
Of city employment agency to as
sist the farmers of the community in
securing help to harvest their crops
was discussed by the chamber OF
commerce Tuesday and a committee
including J. S. Klemgard and J. n.
Scott was named to proceed with the
establishment of such an agency.
During the past two years the en-
ployment bureau has been conduct
ed by Nj. d. Henry, who was re-
munerated by the chamber of COM
merce and the city council. Mr..
Henry is not in business this year,
and other plans will be made by the
committee. 1t was suggested that
the day and night police be made
employment officers, but the con-
census of opinion was not favorable
to this plan. 1t is probable that the
agency will be maintained at one or
the other of the cigar stores, where
laboring men congregate.

JUDGE NELL DECLINES
PREFERRED SUPPORT
VIII Not Make Race for Supreme
Court-Was Endorsed by Various
Groups at Yakima

Judge Thomas Neill of this city
will not enter the race for the state
supreme court, according to an
nouncement made by the Pullman
man following his endorsement for
the position by the various political
groups in state convention at Yaki-
ma last week. The decision of Judge
Neill was made despite the solcita-
ton and pledges of support of many
local friends of all parties and let
ters OF solicitation from many promi-
nent men of the state. His refusal
partizan judgeship, both supreme
and superior, should be kept out of
politics in keeping with the spirit of
the state election laws. In announc-
ing his decision to refuse the support
offered Judge Neill said:
Il am not a candidate for the su-
preme bench, and have no ambition
in that direction. The work of a
judge of the supreme court does not
appeal to me. AS strong believer
in a non-partizan judiciary, I con-
slider it i'll advised for any political
party to endorse a candidate for SUI
preme or superior court, as such ac-
ton violates the spirit of the law
which seeks to take the election OF
judge out of partisan politics"
Judge Neill is a pioneer of Pull
man, having located here in 1888,
when he established The Pullman
Herald. He served the county eff
GENTLY as superior judge and has
won a wide reputation as judge and
a jurist of unusual ability. His
deep interest in the welfare of the
community and its people and his
jealous support of all movements for
public betterment has made him one
Of the bst known men in the county
and many friends will regret his de-
cision to stay out of the race for the
supreme court.
