Pullman should show what she can do when the old veterans come next month. Let's give them possession, not only of the city park but of the entire city as well. For several years Moscow and Pull man have alternated in the matter of celebrating the fourth of July. This is Moscow's year to unloose the eagle, and we understand she will do it in good shape. The "Herald" proposes that we this year inaugurate a new feature, and that Pullman build and equip an appropriate float to have a place in the parade at Moscow. Ry making this an annual feature, consid erable interest would be aroused, and the celebrations would become more a cooperative demonstration. Moscow has always sent big delegaitons to Pullman when it was our year to have charge of the guns; its now up to Pullman to show that she appreciates their attendance, and aid in every way possible. The announcement by the county assessor of the population of the var ious cities and towns of the county has caused a good deal of surprise in some localities, and especially in the county seat itself. Colfax hardly realized that Pullman was so near to robbing it of its claim as the metropolis of Whit man county. From both Colfax and Palouse comes a wail as they realize how far and how fast Pullman is out stripping them in the race for popula tion, and they raise the claim that "the college is responsible for it." The college is, it is true, responsible in a very large measure for the great growth the city is making, but not in the way that Colfax and Palouse charge. The college itself is located outside the city limits. Both dorm itories, housing their hundreds of young, men and young women, are outside the city limits. These young people were, therefore, not counted in making up Pullman's population of 2594. Had this dormitory population been counted Pullman would now be in first place by a good, strong lead, and we would probably be just a3 much entitled to count them as Colafx is to count the county officials who are there "temyorarily. " If Colfax and Palouse will take a day off and come to Pullman to witness the building operations that are being carried on, the dozens of new and handsome homes being constructed, they will no longer doubt that Pullman is the com ing city of the Palouse. CONSTRUCTION IN THE CLEAR- WATER. Never has there been such a strong possibility of the Northern Pacific building a line from Lewiston or from some point on its Clearwater branch to Grangeville, as now that the inde pendent electric line is practically as sured. The past couple weeks have seen exciting times in and about Lew iston. The six miles leading from LewLton to Tammany and up the gulch are re garded as the key to the situation. The Northern Pacific secured a right of way through there about seven years ago, and did a little work on the grade, but since then has done nothing and its right of way was con sidered abandoned and much of it taken up by the Lewiston & Southern Electric Railway Company. A couple of weeks ago several par ties of Northern Pacific surveyors were rushed to various strategic points in the Clearwater country, one party becoming especially alive along this abandoned right of way,indicating that the Northen Pacific intended to fight for this right, with the purpose, either themselves, of building or of blocking the proposed electric line, for which $400,000 has been raised in Lewiston and vicinity, and the constructing of which has been assured by an English financing syndicate. The electric line people countered by potting a force of men at work on a contract for the grading of this six miles, showing not only that the elec tric line is a "sure go," but that its promoters are determined to hold this right of way. About the middle of last week the tight seemed to be reaching an acute stage, surveying and grading parties getting on conflicting j ground, pulling up each others stakes and engaging in wordy battles. But trouble was happily averted by the Northern Pacific withdrawing its sur veyors and sending them to other points on the prairie. fIM The first announcement as to^, the intentions of the Northern Pacific, that may be regarded as official, came Wednesday of last week from Tacoma, when C. M. Levy, assistant to Presi dent Elliott, said that the Northern Pacific would surely build from Lew iston to Grangeville, but that the ex act route has not yet been decided up on. Two routes seem to be, chiefly, under consideration ; either an exten sion of the Clearwater line from Cul desac to Grangeville, or building a line direct from Lewiston. The fact that the hand of the Ore gon Railway & Navigation company has not appeared in these recent develop ments, lends color to the report that that system has come to some agree ment with the Northern Pacific rela tive to the Clearwater country and operations therein.
