Vr- —A special meeting of the Commer
cial Club was held last night, at
which a press committee was appoint- j
ed by President Staley to proceed at i
once with the publication of ra pamph
let descriptive of Pullman and her re
sources. The committee, which is com- ■
posed of Wilford Alien,* C. N. Gaddis, '
E. A. Bryan, G. H. Watt and W. V.
Window will meet tonight and get the
work under headway. The club also
dicsussed the various propositions that
have been made for the bringing of
electricity to the city, and the majority
opinion seemed to be against the enter- j
ing into a percentage contract if a!
suitable arrangement could be made j
for an outright purchase of the current
at a stated rate per horse power.

PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1905.
V^The committee from the city coun
cil has not yet arrived at a satisfactory
arrangement with the Shields com
pany regarding the electric current con-
tract, although a number of confer-
ences have been held the past week.
Codd & McKenzie, of Colfax, have now
made the city a proposition and will
either put in a plant here or bring the
current from their Colfax plant if their
terms are accepted. The council finds
the proposition is a many-sided and
knotty one to solve to the best interests
of the city, and hence must take ample
time to study the various phases and
guar/f against error.
