TOWN MAKES A
FINE SHOWING
Pullman's Progress 5i;,„... Saloons
v"« v™u ™ Mine Saloons
Were Closed Is Greatest In
Its History
3. N. Emerson, of the Burgan-Em
«rson Company, has gone to Endicott
to deliver an address tonight in the
interest of local option. Mr. Emerson
was invited by the Civic League to de
liver the address and before starting
out lie armed himself with facts and
figures to prove th,. correctness of
the statement he win make that Hie
absence of saloons has not retarded
but has advanced the growth and bus
mess of Pullman.
Mr. Emerson secured statement
from many ofthe business men of
Pullm 'ii to prove this statement. All
agree that their business has shown
a remarkable increase during the IS
months since saloons were closed.
lie also secured statements of the
postoffee receipts, showing a won
derful growth in the past IS months,
while the bank statements, taken at
least quarterly, show steadily increas
ing deposits and many of these are
made by men who formerly owed the
banks and deposited their cash with
the- saloons.
Tie railroads show that the me
re use of incoming freight have been
greater in the past two years than
ever before, showing Increases in
every line from groceries and other
lines of merchantlse to building ma
terial and fuel. Put one of in- best
showings is nia-'e in the statement of
vtke financial condition of the city
which has re<?ucel its Indebtedness^
more than $9000 since saloons wen
closed and the license money, which
Ihe saloon advocates (aimed must be
'h'.,' to keep the town going, was cut
off. There has been a steady reduc
tion In the town's Indebtedness and
In the expenses of running the town
Probably no pari of the statement
shows more satisfactory results than
the police court records, which show
entire absence of drunkenness, Pull*
tnin is being held up as a model foi
other towns to follow and the pros
pects are that, many will follow the
example of Pullman, so far as dis
pensing with saloons is concerned.

WHO OWNS THE INLAND ROAD?
i' seems to be an open question
as to who now owns the controlling
interest in the Inland Empire Electric
railroad. The published report that
•1. Ji Hill had bought a controlling in
terest in the road is disputed. The
claim is made that the- Milwaukee has
bought the road and color is given
to this report by,the fact that two
weeks prior to the announcement that
a controlling interest in the road had
passed from President Craves and es
sociates, si,lent Barling, of the
Milwaukee, and President Graves, of
the inland, with several officers of the
two roads, met in Rosalia, where the
private cars of the two presidents
were sidetracked for nearly a whole
lay, and where they took luncheon
and dinner together.
It is now reported that the Mil
waukee has bought the Inland road
md if this proves to be true it is cer
tain that the roa I will be extended
to Pullman. If the Hill interests
have secured control of the electric
railroad it is doubted that it will he
extended to Pullman, for it would be
In dint competition with the North

COLD WEATHER IN MONTANA
Mrs. E. VV. How tieii received a let
ter from Mrs. John Vol :. at Great
Palls, Montana, recently. Mrs. Young
stated that the thermometer was then
registering nine degrees below zero.
S. A. Davis, who is locating people
in homesteads in the country says
in- mercury frequently reaches 40
legrees below zero in the winter
time, but he says "people don't feel
the cold like they do here." The
same claim is made for Edmonton
Alberta, where it reaches tin degrees
below zero, but it will be difficult tc
make Palouse country people feel at
home in such cold climates.
TIMES NEW MOTOR CAR
The Oregon Railroad & Naviga
tion Company has put a new gasoline
motor oar on the run between Day

is a handsome structure, built like
he modern electric cars for rural

lower gasoline motor. The car is
oroving an attraction to travel on

kind to he operated in Washington.
COUNTY TAX SALES
County Treasurer M, P. McCroskey
s advertising another tax sale of
.repertv in Pullman, and is advertis
ing It in the Garfield Enterprise. On
December 11. 1909, he will sell lot
5. block .",, Sunnyslde Addition to
Pullman. This is the only property
to be sold at that time. Just why
this was not advertised in a Pullman
newspaper we leave the public to
judge. Pullman people say had they
known that lots in Garden City Ad
lit ion were to have been sold on
December 6, they would have been
there and bid the property up much
higher than the prices for which it
sold. Lots in that addition which are
valued at $20 to $25 sold for $1 and
$2 each because the sale had been ad
vertised in a Garfield newspaper
which has no circulation in Pullman
and Pullman people did not know* of
the sale. ; '..

PULLMAN. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOV 25,1909.
Help This Worthy Family
Widower, With Eight Children, Struggling For Existence In Pullman
Charitably Inclined people of Pullman seldom have an opportunity
to assist people of their own town, hut now a worthy and deserving
family needs assistance. The family Consists of the father and eight
children. They came here a few months ago from Palouse. The
mother died last summer leaving the family, the oldest being a boy
of 15 and the youngest a babe cd' 20 months, The father is a car
penter, a hard working man, hut those who have regular work at
good wages know how difficult it is to make ends meet in this coun
try with such high prices prevailing for everything. Tie man can sup
port his family, hut they need clothing and care.
The lest daughter, 13 years of age, has been acting as mother
to the younger children and she- is said to have done a noble work,
but wives and mothers know what a hard task this child has had,
cooking for a large family and caring for these younger children,
while living in a small and crowded house with no conveniences and
little furniture. The woman who keeps a hired girl and complains
of her hard lot in lifefl should give- a thought to this family and com
pare her lot with that of this child.
There has never been presented to the people of Pullman a more
worthy object of assistant' than this family. The children need
clothing. When discovered by a neighbor a little girl, seven years
old, wore an old waist and a Hour sack lor a skirl. That was her
total clothing. This, in a town the size of Pullman, with sin wealth
and refinement, is an outrage, for which the people are not to blame
because they did not know of it, but now, that it has been brought
to their attention we hope to see a ready response from the people
of Pullman and that this family will have ample cause for thank-.
giving and lie glad they came to Pullman.
Anything in the line of shoes, clothing, groceries and provisions
will be acceptable and if these tire left at The Herald office We will
sic that they are delivered to the family. The father wants to keep
his children together and he is to be commended for this, and he
can do it if the people of Pullman will assist, each in a small way,
and none will miss the assistance given, while the reward to the
giver will be large- and instantaneous. Do not delay. The weather
is liable to turn severely cold at any time and these children need
better clothing and the family needs fuel, help them NOW!

A Large Audience for Kreisler
Judging from the large advance
sale of seats. Fritz Kreisler, the great
violinist who plays at the new Col
lege auditorium next Monday night,
will be greeted by one of the largest
tudiences ever assembled in this mag
nificent hall. The brisk advance sale
is accounted for by the unusually
low price charged for seats, and the
fact that the college committee has
thoroughly advertised the event, both
through the medium of the newspap
ers and otherwise.
No one should miss this opportun
ity of hearing the greatest living
violinist. Reserved seats may be se
cured at the College- Hook Store, the
price being $1.00 each. This is less
than half the price charged in the
large cities of the northwest for the
same attraction.
