PULLMAN IN 1892

The Pullman Military Academy

hilltops that look down upon the
town, and on another stand the new
buildings of the Washington State
Agricultural College One building
was put up last year to start with.
and this year one of the wings of
the main edfice is being erected
BY next winter, the institution will
be in pretty good shape Labor will
be provided in the fields and gar
dens for poor students and the cost
of education by the aid of the land
endowment from the national gov
ernment, will be kept at very low
figure. With the growth of the
state, this college will become an in
stitution of importance and will be
of constantly increasing advantage to
Pullman. With it's military acade-
my, its college and its public schools,
Pullman has now the good right to
call itself the educational center of
the Palouse country.
The artesian wells of Pullman are
a feature of special interest pos
sessed by no other town in the Pa
louise country. About two years ago
NJ. c. True, one of the most enter
prising citizens of the town, deter
mined to test his faith in the exis-
tence of water-bearing strata on the
South Palouse at his own expense,
and proceeded to bore a we'll through
the solid basaltic rock which UNI
derlies the town. To the general
delight of the townsfolk a big flow
of clear chalybeate water was struck
at depth of little over 100 feet
The flow of living water is so
large that it would fill a hogshead
in less than a minute. The next
move was for the town to sink we'll
to supply a new waterworks and
fire plugs. Pullman from this ben
eficent fountain now obtains ample
water for fire protection, and for
domestic use. Science has here re-
peated the miracle of Moses, It
touched the rock and living waters
gushed forth
The largest store has a frontage
of 80 feet on Main street and of

100 on the cross street, and a wing
40 by 80 feet. This is a general
merchandise store in the fullest
sense of the word, and it well illus
trates the business methods of this
region. The farmer wants to do all
his trading with one concern, and he
makes a yearly settlement after he
sells his wheat. The big mercan-
tile house looks after all his wants
and will sell him pretty much every
thing in the whole scale of human
needs, from a nursing bottle to
coffin. There are two of these huge
mercantile establishments in Pull
man. the Mcconnell, Chambers COM
pany and the Pullman Mercantile
company.
Pullman's newspapers now num-
her three. The Herald, The Tribune
and The Press. They get 81 a year
for subscriptions and their rates On
advertising contracts are about 90
per cent higher than the usual rates
of well established country weeklies
in Minnesota.
Pullman shipped of the grain crop
of 1891, in round figures, 100000
bushels of wheat, 100000 bushels Of
barley. 100000 bushels of flax and
10000 bushels of oats. 1t is the
most important grain shipping point
on either of the two lines of rail
roads which penetrate the Palouse
country.
Pullman does a considerable busl-
ness in the saving of lumber. Inc
South Fork is too small a stream
for running logs but the Spokane
and Palouse road was extended last
wear into the timber belt east OF
Moscow at the head of the streams
that form Potlatch creek and train
loads of logs are brought from that
region and dumped into the pool by
the Pullman mill,

trade, of which p. H. Letterman IS

This Fish Makes Nest.

The common sunfish is an abundant
form in most lakes and rivers from the
Great Lakes to southern Georgia, says
the American Forestry Magazine of
Washington. Doctor Kirkland has
given US some very interesting points
on the breeding habits of this species
which he very truly says "prefers still
and clear waters" In the spring of
the year the female prepares herself
circular nest by removing all reeds
or other dead aquatic plants from a
chosen spot of foot or more in di-
ameter, so as to leave bare the clean
gravel or sand; this she excavates to
the depth of three or four inches and
then deposits her spawn, which she
watches with the greatest vigilance;
and 1t is curious to see how carefully
she guards this nest against all in
truders. In every fish, even those of
her own species, she sees only an enc
my, and is restless and uneasy until
she has driven 1t away from her nurs-
cry.
