PLAN FORMULATED TO
FINANCE HOUSE BUILDING

At the chamber of commerce.
luncheon Tuesday, Thos. Neill out
lined the plan adopted by the special
committee appointed to devise ways
and means to help finance building
operations in Pullman. The COM
mittee favors the organization of n
company with a capital stock of
$4,000. This company will make
loans on second mortgages to per-
sons who desire to build houses but
can not secure large enough loans
from the savings and loan associa-
ton to enable them to do it. The
company will try to secure 5000
by selling bonds drawing six per cent
interest and secured by the second
mortgages held in trust. The pur-
chase price of the bonds will be
called for only as needed, and not
all at one time.

Epidemic Seems to Have Passed Peak
and Each Day Shows a Decrease
in Number of New Cases
Reported

Three deaths from influenza oc-
Cured Wednesday night. The vic
tins were:
Orpha howard, college student,
aged Is years, son of T. A. Howard,
a farmer living near Lyle's grove.
Mrs. Harry Young of Pullman.
Baker Gilbert, young farmer re-
siding between Pullman and John
son.
Orpha Howard and Mrs. Young
died at the Northwest sanitarium,
where they had been receiving the
very best of care.
Despite these deaths, the flue cpl
demic in Pullman and vicinity seems
to have passed the peak and to be on
the decline. During the last three
days there has been "a marked de-
crease in the number of new cases
reported and far more people are re-
covering than are coming down with
the disease.
The epidemic, which first mani
tested itself here early last week in
a few mild cases, spread with alarm
ing rapidity and last Monday nearly
400 cases had been reported. The
local physicians were worked to the
limit and had but few hours sleep for
several nights and the drug stores
were kept busy early and late filling
prescriptions.
Prompt measures were taken to
handle the situation. Two hospital
wards, with % beds in each, were
fitted up in the Episcopal parish
house and the Federated church.
The State College furnished the cots
and the Red Cross cooperating with
the committee appointed by the cham
Der of commerce, supplied the bed
ding and secured the nurses. Blan-
kets and sheets for so beds and 9TH
er hospital supplies were sent from
Red Cross headquarters in Seattle

took charge of the first patients and
is still on the job, assisted by Mrs.
King, the county nurse, and a gradu-
ate nurse and a practical nurse sent
from Spokane by the Red Cross. A
squad of college students who had
hospital experience during the war
are working in relays under direction
of the nurses and of the Rev. G. w.
Laidlaw, who was appointed by the
city council as its official Representa-
tive. Mrs. r. B. Coglon, executive
secretary of the Red Cross civilian
relief committee, is devoting nearly
all of her time to the work of secur-
ing the necessary supplies for the
hospitals.
There have been s patients in the

BAKER MOTOR CO.
AGAIN EXPANDS
Buys Ruply Building in Order to
Provide More Floor Space for
Rapidly Growing Business

The Baker Motor company has
purchased from j, r. Ruply the
building adjoining their salesroom
on Main street. The building has a
frontage of % feet on Main street
and a depth of 1876 feet. At pres
ent it is occupied by the Pullman
Sheet Metal Works and the Electric
Shoe Shop. Archways will be cut in
the partition wall so as to add this
new room to the main salesroom of
the firm. This will give a total
floor space of approximately $500
square feet, with frontage of so
feet on Main street and of IS feet
on Alder street. Mr.. A. B. Baker
states that they plan to double this
space by dividing the rooms, which
are II feet high. into upper and
lower stories. A runway will be
constructed in the rear of the build
ing leading to the second story which
will be used to store the surplus sup
ply of cars and supplies, leaving all
the lower part of the building for
the office, shop and display pur-
poses.
The price paid Mr.. Ruply for the
new building is said to have been in
the neighborhood of $4,000. The
business of the Baker Motor COM
pany has been expanding rapidly
ever since it was established and the
firm, with characteristic enterprise,
proposes to have the facilities for
serving their patrons keep pace with
the increasing volume of trade.

EXTENSIVE PLANT
FOR MILL WORK

F. Y. Roth is moving the machin-
cry from his shop on State street and
installing it in the planning mill on
west Main street. He is adding sew
eral pieces of heavy machinery, in
Guiding a new finishing machine, to
the plant, which will be one of the
largest and best equipped in this
part of the state. The machinery is
operated by a Is horse power cleo
trio motor and two seven and one
half horse power motors. All the
shafting and most of the betting are
under the floor of the mill. thus re-
ducing the danger of accidents to
the minimum.
The plant represents an invest
ment of some $4,000 and is a valu-
able asset to the industries of Pull
man, as it will give steady employ
ment to several men. Mr.. Roth re-
ports that he has enough orders for
mill work now on file to keep the
plant busy for several months.

MANY NEW STUDENTS
ENROLL AT COLLEGE

Registration for the second semes-
ter at the State College had passed
the 1900 mark Wednesday and as
there are quite a number sick with
influenza and others who have, left
town for few days, it is expected
that this number will go we'll above
1900 before the week is out, the
largest registration that the State
College has ever enjoyed.
Secretary C. A. Isaacs reported
Wednesday that TAI new students
had enrolled, almost twice as many
as in any previous mid-year registra-
ton. A large number of former stu
dents out during the war are enroll
ing also.
The registration period, which was
originally set for Monday and Tues
day only, was extended for a day or
two.

STANDARD LUMBER CO.
PLANS IMPROVEMENTS
Expects to Build Permanent Quarters
on the Site Now Occupied by the
Alton Hotel

The Standard Lumber Co. has
completed plans for extensive inn
provements in Pullman which will
be carried out as soon as a clear
title to the required land can be Sc
cured, The company has made d
deal with the Western Loan associa-
ton of Salt Lake, Utah, for the AL
ton hotel property, and has leased
the lots back of the hotel from the
O.-W. r. & N. Co. This will give
the Standard people a tract of land
with frontage of 1875 feet on Grand
street and running back 225 feet to
State street.
The old hotel building will be torn
down and the lumber company will
build offices and extensive sheds for
IT'S permanent quarters. The pres
est office and sheds ON south Grand
street which were purchased from. f.
o. Brownson, will be dismanteled
and on the lots occupied by them
the company plans to erect three at
tractive houses.
The Alton hotel was built many
years ago but never proved a profita-
BILE venture and has changed hands
frequently and most of the time for
several years has been closed. The
building has deteriorated rapidly and
its removal will be a decided improve
ment, The site is an excellent one
for a lumber yard because of it's
proximity to the railroad and to the
business part of town

FLU SITUATION IMPROVING;
SCHOOLS MAY OPEN MONDAY

and eight patients in the women 5
ward in the Episcopal parish house
Each one has received the best of
care and while there have been two
or three very serious cases, no deaths
have resulted as yet in these hos
pitfalls and number of patients have
been discharged as convalescent.
The public schools were closed last
Friday and Tuesday evening the city
council decided, as an additional pre-
caution against the spread of the dis
ease, to close the moving picture the
aires, pool rooms and bowling alley.
While a comparatively small per-
centage of the State College stu
dents have been attacked by the flu,
special precautions were taken dur
ing registration to prevent crowding
and to maintain good ventilation.
No recitations were held till yester-
day and all social gatherings have
been prohibited. President Holland
is keeping in close touch with the
situation and visits the hospitals two
or three times daily.
DR.. Lukins, city health officer,
states that if the situation continues
to improve as it has during the past
three days, he thinks it may be safe
to lift the ban on the theatres and
pool halls tomorrow and to reopen
the schools next Monday.

DEPUTY COLLECTOR
IS TOURING COUNTY
ro Assist People in Making Out Their
Income Tax Returns-Will Be in
Pullman February 9-1O-11

The following letter is self ex-
planatory;
Editor Herald:
am enclosing herewith an timer
ory of my visit to your city and
other points in Whitman county for
ne purpose of assisting taxpayers in
nating out their income tax returns
FIR the year 1919. 1t is urged that
vou give this matter the widest pub
licitv in order that the fullest mea-
sure Of assistance may be given your
neople in this highly important mat
fer Owing to a shortage of men in
the department, it will be impossible
IN give the amount of time necessary
IN fully cover the territory, but with
cooperation on the part of bankers
and the taxpayers themselves it is
hoped that great deal of good can
be accomplished.
Please call the attention of tax
payers in your vicinity to the date
of my visit to your city and urge up
on all of them the necessity for hav-
ing their figures of income and ex-
Denses complete before submitting
them. In figuring out the various
items of expense. it will be impossi
ble to devote any time to assisting
them in the actual figuring of such
expenses. Have them make a com
plete itemized statement of all ex-
penses they have incurred during the
year; it will then be an easy matter
to eliminate such items as are not
deductible in filling out their re-
turns.
Just a word as to who are liable
to make returns. The law imposes
the obligation on the part of all mar
risd individuals to make an income
taEreturn providing their net income
Exclusive of their personal exemp-
tom amounts to $4,000 or more;
likewise single persons must make
returns providing their net income
is $1,000 or more, regardless OF the
TACT that they may be heads of fam
lilies or have dependents and there
fore their personal exemption may
be in excess of $1,000.
all who fail to make returns when
liable, so it behooves all to give close
attention to their operations during
Inc preceding year in order to ascer-
tain whether they are liable to make
returns. If in doubt, call on the rev.
enue man for advice.
| trust it will be possible for you
70 give space in your paper to the
entire itinerary for Whitman county.
