CHICKEN DINNER FOR
SEATTLE BUSINESS MEN

Last Monday morning it was
learned that a party of prominent
Seattle business men would arrive in
Pullman on the noon train on their
way to Lewiston, Idaho. The offic-
ers of the local chamber of COM
merce decided that it would be a nice
thing to surprise the party with a
chicken dinner during their brief
stay in this city. They were there
fore met at the train and hustled to
the chamber of commerce rooms,
where j. W. Robinson had a piping
hot chicken dinner all ready to
serve, despite the fact that he had
but little over an hour in which to
prepare it.
After the eatables had been con-
sumed President Emerson called up
on Robert S. Boynes, president of
the Seattle chamber of commerce, for
few words Mr. Boynes stated
that the object of their trip was to
see the state, know the state and ac-
quaint themselves with the problems
of the different sections of the state.
He said that Seattle is ready to help
solve these problems wherever they
arise. The interests of all parts of
the state are mutual and all the peo-
pie should cooperate in improving
the commonwealth
President Holland was called up
on and informed the visitors that
one of the most pressing problems of
the State College was to provide
housing accommodations for the stu
dents. He also announced that the
train would be- held long enough to
permit the visitors to take an au-
tomobile trip to the college campus
and that the automobiles were ready
to start.
All of the visitors expressed their
appreciation of the courtesies ex-
tended to them in Pullman and of
the opportunity to get a glimpse of
the State College.
