AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING.


Editor News-Times:
It is 10 be earnestly hoped the
present agitation on the sO-called
Daylight saving will not result in
its imposition upon us by the city
council, as was the case last year.
The two reasons for its passage
given by certain business men and
certain doctors this morning are
farcical The daylight saving is op-
crauvc during the summer months
when the item Of light expense is OF
no consideration All stores are
closed before lights are turned on,
whether the clock is advanced or
not. The doctors reason Of more
sunlight and daylight for the labor
or is just a pharisaicaI sop to the
laboring man. Probably the labor
ing man knows this. He knows he
gets Just as much comfort out
of a summer evening indoors with
is family as scorching under the
West sun all afternoon on his back

ACTION DEFERRED
BY CITY COUNCIL
Only One Bid Received for Proposed
Work in Local Improvement
District No. 81

The members OF the city council
are in doubt as TO whether or not to
proceed with the proposed improve
ment of North Monroe street and
Michigan avenue, included in Local
Improvement District No. 81.
When bids were opened Tuesday
evening, the only firm bidding was
the Standard Asphalt company. Their
bid amounted to $19,441.00 for the
job. This sum plus the engineering
costs would entail an aggregate ex-
penditure of $2t,385.31, as against
an estimate of $20,342.37.
The total assessed valuation of the
real prwoperty in the improvement
district is but $S270.OO and of the
improvements $11,74O0O. total of
$20,01O.0O, which showing might
make the sale of the bonds difficult
matter
The council first voted to reject
the bid, but later reconsidered this
action and postponed the decision of
the matter to Wednesday evening in
order to give the councilmen an OPP
portunity to look over the property
included in the district. At the
meeting Wednesday evening final ac-
ton was again deferred to the next
regular meeting, August IS.
1t is now up to the property own
ers interested to get busy and make
their wishes known. If they desire
to have only a part of the streets in
cluded in the district improved, the
council would probably concur rath-
err than drop the project, as an ex-
pense of some $500 has already been
incurred in the preliminaries.

WAGNER. WOULD MOVE
HOTEL TO PULLMAN
Former Pullman Man Contcmplates
Removal of Empire Hotel From
Maiden to PulIman-Roth
Will Estimate

George Wagner, for many years
a citizen of Pullman, realizes the
urgent need for added hoJel accom-
modations in Pullman and is eonsid-
ering the possibility of tearing down
the Empire hotel, a commodious
three-story brick structure at Nal
den. and bringing the material to
this city to be used toward the con-
structiom Of a modern hotel here.
Mr.. Wagner has written to the Roth
Construction company for IN esti-
mate on the cost of tearing down the
Maiden hotel and constructing a
new one here, and F. V. Roth, man
ager of the company, will go to Nal
den early next week to make the
estimate. In his letter to the Roth
Construction company, Mr.. Wagner
says, in part:
"Will you kindly give me an idea
as to the possibilities of tearing down
and moving to Pullman the hotel OF
which I am enclosing a photograph.
If this is practical you may give me
the approximate cost of taking down
moving and putting up again. the
salvage here of doors, windows
plate glass, plumbing and heating
appliances are all in good condition
and the brick may also be used to a
great extent This hotel is now
easily the best in this county and an
furniture is of good quality. Pull
man is in need of good hotel and
feel sure if this can be moved ana
replaced Pullman can easily be proud
of the new addition"
Mr.. Roth is of the opinion that the
plan is a practical one and will con-
fer with Mr.. Wagner as to the de-
tails next week.

SUNDAY MORNING FIRE
BURNS TWO BUILDINGS
Peterson Battery Station and Pull
man Planning Mill Suffer Losses
buildings Owned by NJ. ID.
Henry and +. Ii. Benton

Damage to the extent of $4,000 or
$4,000 was done by fire Sunday
morning which Quilted the buildings
on Grand street occupied by the
Peterson Battery station and the
Pullman planning mill. The fire was
discovered about 700 o'clock near
the wall between the two buildings,
and people who were early on the
scene are of the opinion that it or
iginated in the battery station, prob
ably in the charging room. The fire
department responded promptly and
within two minutes from the tire
the alarm was sounded had water on
the flames. The efficient work of
the fire fighters undoubtedly saved
the frame buildings on the north Of
the burned structures. Had the fire
gained a greater Roadway before It
was discovered it is probable that
the entire block of buildings, incluI-
ing the Artesian hotel and the J, vi.
Palmerton building. would have been
destroyed.
The greatest loss was sustained by
Harry Peterson, owner of the bat
terry station, through damage to bat
teries and equipment. Mr.. Peterson
carried $4,000 insurance on stock
estimated at nearly $1,000. h. w.
Eddy. owner of the Pullman planning
mill had but $1,000 insurance, but
his salvage will be considerable
many of the tools and machines be-
ing only slightly damaged.
The building occupied by the plan
ing mill was owned by NJ D. Henry
of pullman, who carried but $3.50 in
surance. owing to the almost prohib-
tive premium rate of 81 per 500.
The building occupied by the battery
station was owned Jointly by MI
Henry and f. H Benton OF Spokane
and was not insured.
Mr.. Eddy is still doing business at
his old stand and expects to add new
machinery and equipment as soon as
the building is repaired or new quar-
tiers secured. Mr.. Peterson Will not
decide upon his future course until
his loss has been adjusted, but eX-
pects to continue in the battery bust
ness in Pullman.

NC GULLY RETURNS
FROM EUROPEAN TRIP
Believes That Full Status as Domin.
ion Within British Empire Is
Coming to Ireland

That full status as a dominion
within the British Empire is coming
to Ireland is the opinion of Dr. Bruce
McCully, former head Of the English
department of the State College, who
has just returned from nine months
of travel in Europe.
The Irish question, he claims, is
already settled, and needs only pub
licity to make the problem a matter
of history The Englishman is fast
coming to a realization that this is
the inevitable result and seems re-
conciled to the situation. Public
opinion in England is marvelously
sane on the Irish question he stated.
DR.. McCully spent much time in
England, and also visited Scotland,
Holland, Belgium, France, SWitzer-
land and Italy. He gained a first
hand insight into actual conditions
in the European countries and gives
the British Empire much credit foi
the manner in which her peoples are
solving economic and other problems.
That peculiar tolerance and Won
derful seIf-control is the strength OF
England" according TO DR., McCully
who opined that the Englshman is
Hkeable fellow and that there is a
strong feeling Of friendship toward
America and the American people.
DR. McCully spent considerable
time inspecting the battle lines Of
France and Belgium, but states that
the constructive work of the past
century holds much more permanent
interest than the destructive work Of
four or five years. There is much
unemployment in England he stated,
but conditions are very different
from conditions in the States. Eng
land. he claims, is q full generation
ahead OF the United States on the
labor question. and many Of the prob
lens which the BIitishers have al
ready met are yet to be solved by the
people Of the United States British
labor. he says. is not red, but sane.
and the tolerance and self-control Of
the BriGsher is again evident in labor
problems,

Years in Postal
Service

Ira G. Allen, acting postmaster
here since the resignation of Post
master G. w. Reed three months ago,
last Friday received word that his
appointment as postmaster was made
Thursday by President Harding So
far as known this is the first case IN
the Northwest in which the appoint
ment for second class offices has
been made on merit and civil service
standing without calling a COMPETE
tive examination, and it is considered
an emphatic endorsement of the ef-
ficiency of the acting postmaster.
Mr.. Allen has been in the civil serv-
ice continuously for the past / z years.
From 1904 until 1909 he served as
assistant postmaster here under his
father, the late x. p. Allen, who held
the office 13 years. For The four
years following 1908 he was assist
ant printer in charge of the 9th di-

there was to be vacancy in the local
postoffice many voluntary endorse
ments were rendered the assistant
postmaster, including those of the
county central committee, every pre-
cinct committeeman of the Pullman
district and many influential citizens
of both parties. 1t is believed how
ever, that the appointment was based
more upon qualifications, as indica.-
ed by past service, than upon po-
litical influences.
Postmaster Allen announced hat
his assistant postmaster will be j.

in postal work.
