forced The measure provides that

as little street space as possible; that
no motor vehicle shall be parked at
the same place on any paved resi-
dence street for a period longer
than four hours; that no motor We

streets at certain points are mar
rowed to the danger point through
parking at an angle with the curb
on both sides.

FIVE SEPARATOR FIRES
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
Three Explosions Friday and Two
Saturday Bring Seasons Total to
Eight--CoOl Weather Brings
Relief

With three separator explosions
caused by smut on Friday and two
on Saturday, the seasons total was
brought to eight. The cooler wealth
er OF Sunday and Monday, which has
continued throughout the week,
came as a welcome relief, and so far
as known no separator explosions
have occurred since Saturday.
Fridays explosions included that
of the Ed. Meyers and Scion Snyder
separator, operating on the George
Ruply place, three miles from Pull
man. The explosion occurred in the
evening, when the outfit was work
ing in wheat only slightly smutty
Damage TO the amount of $500 was
done to the steel separator and about
600 sacks of wheat were destroyed,
all being partially insured.
The Bert Hately separator, operat-
ing on the old Ed. Fletcher place on
Union flat, was destroyed Friday
evening.
Some damage resulted to the Bud
Crawford separator Friday afternoon
when the machine exploded on the
H. Harness place, just southwest of
Pullman. Little damage was done
except to the separator, the citizen
fire-fighters responding promptly to
the call for help. The machine was
repaired and soon was operating
again
Saturday afternoon the separator
of the Charles Vollmer outfit owned
by Oscar Kincair and operating on
the latter's farm near Chambers, eX-
ploded and burned, together with
about 500 sacks of wheat. The ma
chine and wheat were fully insured.
The separator of Gus Anderson,
operating on the j. L. Metsker farm
east of Pullman, was Quilted by fire
following an explosion Saturday.
Forty sacks of wheat were destroyed.

YIELDS UNDER ESTIMATE

Grain yields continue to run from
i've to 10 bushels under the pre-.
harvest estimate, with 80 bushels
as the probable average for fall
wheat. Some fields are yielding well
over that figure, while others are
below. The fields along Union flat
in the Evansville district, appear to
be holding closer to estimates than
III other districts, with many good
yields reported. George Ruply re.
ports a yield of 80 bushels to the
acre of red hybrid No. los, with very
little smut on his farm three miles
west of Pullman.

CHAMBER PARK POLICY
BRINGS BETTERMENTS
Weekly Visitation Committees Make
ReCOmmeu dations for Successors
to Carry Out---Tourists Well
Pleased

The policy adopted by the Pullman
chamber OF commerce recently of APP
pointing new tourist park commit
tee weekly and demanding full re-
ports at the end of the weeks work
is resulting in many improvements
at the tourist park through the car
rytng out of recommendation made
by the various committee members.
The recommendation made by the
outgoing committees for improve
ments are carried out by the sue
ceedng committee, and the various
groups are not reluctant to Toad
up" their successors with numerous
odd jobs intended to make the park
visitors more comfortable.
During the past week the park
work has been in charge Of a COM
mittee including II. E, Phelps, F. r.
Sanger J. r. Stephenson and Will
lam Laird, some of whom have Wis
tied the camping grounds daily to
inquire as to impressions and wants
of the tourists. AS a result a large
sign has been placed at the entrance
to the park, new tables have been in
stalled, signs indicating the water
faucets and toilets have been placed
and three garbage cans secured. A
stationery cabinet, containing writ
in material, picture post cards, road
maps and other material for the tour
lists has been provided, with a loose
leaf ledger in which the tourists are
expected to register. Other cabinets
placed in the park give information
concerning the city and the State
College of Washington and suggest
interesting side trips.
AS work to be undertaken by the
succeeding committee the quartet
| Tuesday suggested the placing of
awnings for children, a general
cleanup of the premises and the Sc
curing of more wood The new COM
mittee consists of Lee Allen and f.
c. Forrest.
Plans are now under way for the
lighting OF the tourist park and re-
quest for a temporary permit to cross
the Northern Pacific tracks with
electric light wires has been submit
ted to General Agent Uhde of Spo-
kane and through him to other Of
ficials of the company 1t is be-
lieyed that the temporary permit will
be granted before the end of the
week, when the wires will be strung
and the lights provided.
Committee members who have in
teryiewed the tourists who make use
of the park state that all are well
pleased with the accommodations af-
forded and speak with appreciation
Of the interest taken in their welfare
by the chamber through the commit
tees. 1t is upon the suggestions Of
fered by the tourists that the weekly
improvements are being made.

CITY SAVES S4629.7O
ON PUMPING ACCOUNT
Washington Water Power Co. Ac-
CeptS Warrant for Sixteen Months
Service Based on Franchise
Rate

When the Washington Water
Power Co yesterday accepted a city
warrant in the amount of $1S57.20
in full payment for electrical cur
rent used by the two city pumps
during the 16-month period from
April /, 1920, to July 81, 1921, the
city effected a saving of $4629.70
over the bill submitted by the COM
pany for the service The warrant
was based on the rate for pumping
purposes fixed by the franchise
granted the company years ago,
which still has six years to run
while the bill submitted by the COM
pany, in the amount of $64S6.90,
was based on proposed new rate
for the two municipal pumps.
The differences between the
municipality and the Washington
Water Power Co. are of over two
years duration and include a hearing
by the state public service commits
sion late in 1918. The hearing was
the result of refusal of the city to
pay the new pumping rates pro-
posed by the company the conten-
ton being that the company had no
legal right to raise the rates fixed
by unexpired franchise This con-
tention of the city was recog-
nized by the public service com
mission in it's findings, which ap-
proved the general power rates pro-
posed by the company with the eX-
ception of the power rate for the
city of Pullman, which was allowed
to stand until such time as read
iustment of machinery prices war
ranted the installation of a new
pump by the city.
A few months later. however, the
Washington Water Power company
began billing the city at the pro-
posed new rate, the monthly bills
running between three and four
times larger than the amounts fig
ured on the franchise rate OF one
cent per kilowatt hour. The city
refused to pay the accounts rem
dered and the matter was permitted
to go unsettled for the entire IL
months. when officials of the Wash
ington Water Power company signi-
fled a willingness to accept the war
rants. based on the old rate, in full
liquidation for the service rendered.
That the matter is not yet definite
" settled. however is indicated by
the proposed policy of the company
in submitting monthly accounts at
the proposed new rate, but accept
ing warrants in full payment based
on the old rate.
City officials maintain that the
old franchise rate is still in erect
never having been changed by the
public service commission, and Will
refuse to pay more than the rate
specified in the franchise. which eX-
pires in 1927.
The difference between the two
rates for the 16-month period COW
cred by the warrant represents an
average of $3.50 monthly
