THE ROAD TO PULLMAN

THE ROAD TO PULLMAN
One of the most important matter,
placed before Moscow citizens in
long time is the proposal of Pull
mans chamber OF commerce to unite
with Moscow in connecting the two
college towns with a good. hard sur
faced road. Moscow cannot afford tc
let this opportunity slip. 1t must ac-
cept the proposal n see that the
road is built.
For years the connections between
these two towns that nave so much
in common, have been a disgrace.
During a great part of the year they
are impossible. The shortest route,
that along the DIV. r. e N. railroad,
is about the worst piece of road in
the northwest excepting, always,
some of Moscow's Streets n a
great part of the year is impossible
or nearly so.
A good hard surfaced road between
Pullman and Moscow would brir3 at
least 100000 per year of new trade
to Moscow. This city has a splendid
reputation as a trading point, and
draws trade from a large section of
Whitman county. But for a large
portion of the year the roads are in
passable between Pullman and Mos
COW. There is a great hard surfaced
highway connecting Pullman with
Colfax, Endicott, Diamond and that
rich country beyond Colfax, and the
same road connects Pullman with
Gotten, Johnson and Uniontown. But
there is a missing link" between
Pullman and Moscow.
Most of this distance is in Whitman
county, Washington. If, as suggested
In the dispatch from Pullman, the
Whitman county commissioners and
property owners along the. route are
willing to build the road to the state
hne, Latah county and Moscow can
we'll afford to build a splendid, hard
surfaced road to connect with It
The suggestion that this connecting
Aak run through the grounds and
farms of Washington State College
and the University of Idaho is a good
one. 1t would draw people from a
long distance and wide area. They
could see our great school and Pull
mans great school and the scene
from the highest points of these two
farms is well worth a trip. Let us
nave that road. To get it we must act
quickly while Pullman people are in
the notion.

Latah county has had its second
lean campaign, due to the fact that
he newspapers entered into an agree-
lent not to engage in dirty or per-
Dna politics. We believe that was K
ne OF the wisest moves the publish
rs Of Latah county papers ever made
we believe that the people are
leased with the changed conditions.
fter the election is over we can go
inward with clear consciences, With

during the campaign or, in the
at of excitement, said or did some
