County Results

Latest reports on the county cleo
ton indicate the success of every re-
publican candidate by a safe major
ity. John NJ. Klemgard, of Pullman,
was reelected county assessor on the
democratic ticket, having no oppo-
nent in the republican ranks. Mr..
Klemgard will have the distinction
of being the only democratic office
holder in the court house. F. e. San
ger and Roy Jones, republicans, were
both returned to the state legislature
by big majorities over George Libby
and J. NJ. Davis.

LITTLE SYMPHONY IS
NOTED COMBINATION

Lieurance, to Appear Here We'd
nesday, November 10, Aus
pices American Legion

Lieurance's Little Symphony Or
chestra, patterned after the Metro
polltan Symphony orchestras of the
cities, will appear at the college au-
Gitorium next Wednesday evening,
November 10, under the auspices of
Maynard-Price post of the American
Legion. The funds derived from the
entertainment will go to swell the
memorial fund of the local post,
which has now reached $500. The
citizens of Pullman are solidly behind
the service men in their efforts to
secure large memorial fund and the
attraction will undoubtedly be greet
ed by large audience Tickets will
sell at $1.00. Student tickets, plus
~ cents, will admit, and students of
the local schools will be admitted for
80 cents
Lieurance's Little Symphony is an
all-string combination which plays
sketches from a representative num-
Der of symphonies. It was especially
organized by Mr.. Lieurance to meet
the wide demand for good music
rather than trash. The noted com
poser believed that nothing short OF
the best would satisfy the craving for
real music in America, and this is
the reason for the Little Symphony.

TAP DRUG STORE TILL

Thieves entered the White Drug
store Friday night, gaining entrance
through the rear window Ten dol
lars in change was taken from the
cash register, but so far as can be
learned no goods were molested. The
thieves were evidently amateurs,
who wished to impress the owners of
the drug store that they were bad
men, as they left the following note
on the cash register, Three bad
men are going to get you" The
proprietors are not losing much
sleep over the threat but are thank
full that the cash register was at a
low ebb.

One of the fiercest blazes in Pull
mans history destroyed three of the
four buildings in the block on East
Main street. between Spring and Pine
streets, Tuesday morning, the dam
age being estimated at an actual loss
Of $4,000, although the replace
ment value of the buildings, under
present conditions, would be consd-
erably greater than the estimates
above.
The fire started from a stove pipe
through the partition in the east cor
ner of the Whitman Implement COM
pany building, in the rooms occupied
by Frank Parr as an automobile re-
pair shop. Mr.. Parr was working
in the shop at the time and as soon
as the wall paper caught fire from
the stove pipe he took a chemical
fire eXtinguisher and turned it on the
blaze. Instantly the flames spread
TO every part of the room, however
and he was forced to beat a hasty re-
treat, only saving the Olson automo-
bile, on which he was working, after
burning his hands and face The
automobile was considerably dam
aged in the rear before he got it into
the street in front of the burning
building. Within a few minutes the
entire building occupied by the Whit
man Implement company was envel-
oEed in flames, it being impossible
to save any of the stock. Famed
by brisk northwest wind, the fire
soon spread to the frame barn owned
by Frank Burnett and occupied as
stable and store house by George
Ewing, and from that to the build
Ing owned by J. l.. Hunt and occupied
by the Pullman Garage.
About 25 automobiles were in the
garage when the fire started but
these were all saved by a small army
OF citizens, and practically all of the
tools, accessories and furniture were
taken from the building before the
roof fell The concrete walls of the
Hunt building, aided by a change in
the wind direction and the city fire
hose, stopped the fire at this point.
the only remaining building in the
block, a small frame structure used
as blacksmith shop, being saved.
The fire burned with fury that
could not be denied and for a time
the entire business district was men
aced, large embers carrying to every
part of the business section and the
heat, for block away, being intense
Dense columns of smoke rose from
the burning oils. But for the sud
den change in the wind it is believed
that the damage would have been
much greater.
All of the frame buildings on the
north side of Main street, opposite
the burned structures were dam
aged to a considerable extent, prac-
tically all of the windows being
broken by the intense heat and some
damage done by water. The Baptist
church, east of the implement COM
pany building, caught fire several
times at the steeple. but a steady
stream of water saved the structure,

sides

Mohonk peace conferences, offered 800
to the student in any American college
who would write the best essay on the
peace cause. With a great flourish of
trumpets. the donor himself making a
magnificent speech, the 500 was finally
awarded Statistics showed that if
the prize had been divided equally
among the contestants, each would
have received 80 cents for his labors.
