Gently annexed to the city which

PULLMAN APPRECIATES

The Pullman chamber of com
merce Tuesday extended a unani-

Moscow commercial club for the
friendly action of the Moscow Citi-
zens in abandoning their proposed
Fourth of July celebration when it
was found that Pullman is planning
a mammoth celebration. The Mos
COW boosters, including the Amer

with Pullman, and the Moscow Elks

celebration without charge. Pull

kindness next year and will also send
big delegations to the Latah county

and spirit of cooperation which is
developing between the two towns is
a matter of much satisfaction to
Pullman citizens, and the plan of al
ternating Fourth of July celebrations
is expected to result in benefit to
both communities.
