The Pullman Chamber of Com
merce has raised to date $4343.93,
and has expended $3950.88, leaving
a balance of $393.05. Of this re
maining sum, $380.00 is the amount
paid into the Initiation fund, which
will not be' touched in exploiting
the work of the Chamber of Com
merce. The chamber was organized
November 21st, 1910 with a member
ship of 46. During the past year
the membership has Increased to 131.
Forty-nine meetings of the' chamber
and 57 meetings of the trustees have
been held. The average attendance
at the weekly meetings of the Cham
ber has been 25.
During the year exhibits have
been held at the Missouri Valley
fair in Kansas City: at the Spokane
interstate fair: at the Whitman
county fair; and the National Apple
Show. Over thirty thousand pieces
of literature have been distributed
during the year, and there is yet on
hand about ten thousand primers
and community books for distribu
tion. At the present time upwards
of 100 pieces of literature are being
sent out each week. In a brief
summary of the work accomplished
during the year, mention should be
made of the establishment of the
'Bologna" Asks $1000 Cost Bond
"Bologna," much imposed upon Ce
lestial, and principal figure in a
$50,000 breach of promise suit, tiled
against him' by Anna Hooper/of
Spokane, who. it is supposed, thinks
the Chink has money and desires to
Ret it, yesterday filed a motion for a
cost bond of $1,000 through his at
torneys. Sanger and Dow. This action
on the part of Bologna's attorneys
will undoubtedly put a damper on the
relentless hopes of the Spokane wo
man to fleece Gong Lee out of his
hard earned money, Gong has many
friends in the city of Pullman, and
every means will be supplied the un
lucky son of China in fighting the
case should it be carried further.
"Bologna" is a familiar figure in j
Pullman, and has been for the past
twenty- years. Never has he done
any man harm, and always has he'
been a peaceful and law-abiding mem-1
ber of the community. Since coming |
to Pullman over twenty years ago.
the Chinaman has made his living j
selling garden truck from door to
door. Those who know him best'
say that, he has not the money that
he is supposed to have, according
to the Spokane woman who is suing
him for a broach of promise. Ex
pressions of disapproval over the ac
tion taken by Anna Hooper and her
attorney, L. J. Birdseye, of Spokane,

Pullman for the better development j

the larger spirit of co-operation with j

E. C. Turnbow, Frank Lavin and
Lotta V. Edwards were elected to
membership in the Chamber of Com- ,
merce.
A movement, state wide in its
scope, is on foot to make the Col
umbia river navigable to the bound
ary of British Columbia, giving a
total navigable mileage of over 900
miles, and opening up the Snake riv
er for boating purposes as far up
as Lewiston. Every Chamber of
Commerce in the state Is boosting
this big movement, including the lo
cal organization. A wire to Sena
tors Poindexter'and Jones, and Rep
resentative La Follette will be sent
Saturday by the Pullman body, en
dorsing the proposed legislation for,
which it is expected that 110,000,000
will be appropriated if passed. These ,
endorsements from the various I
Chambers of Commerce throughout
the state will be used to aid in pro
curing the enactment of the bill.
Spokane, In an effort to secure)
that place as the next meeting of the!
National Rivers and Harbor Commit
tee, has asked the Pullman Chamber
among the others of the state, to j
use what influence they could bring
to bear to aid in the securing for
the west this big meeting. The lo
cal Chamber has complied with the |
request sent out by the Spokane
Chamber, and Secretary Harrison has '
wired J, J. Ellison, secretary of the;
national congress, the endorsement of !
the Pullman body.
Before adjourning, the Chamber j
of Commerce listened to speeches
from President Frank M, Single.
.1. N. Emerson, on "Some of (the
Things We Have Done;" Professor;
Watt, on "City Improvements;"
Professor Waller, on "Some Things j
We Hope- to Do;" J. J. Rouse on "The !

"The <;. A. R. Encampment Next j
June." While supper was being serv
ed by the Women's Relief Corps,
who were boosting the encampment, j
the Y. M, C. A. quartet gave two
numbers.
In their attempt to extract from
the kind old mongolian what little'
money he may have saved from his , _
vegetable business are many.
Gong Lee has lived a life of mis
fortune, and Is now in his later years,
suffering almost total blindness as a:
result of an attack upon him by a
French cook some years ago, whose
position "Bologna" was given after
the Frenchman had been released,
Because of his many hardships, the
citizens of Pullman extend their sym
pathy to the old man, and pledge'
their support to his cause.

Nothing out of the ordinary was
evidenced on the pari of the citizens
of Pullman in the interest shown in
Tuesday's election of mayor, city at
torney, and four councilmen, one of
the four being councilman at large,
The final returns show Dr. A. E.
Shaw leading in the inayoralily race
by a comfortably plurality, and M.
S. Jamar victor over I). C. Dow,
present incumbent, for the office of
city attorney. Three councilmen,
one from each ward, hold over, these
men being U. G. Lawler, of the first
ward, Murray Henry of the second
ward, and Frank E. Sanger of the
third ward. Charles White replaces
D. F. Staley in the first ward, E. L.
McAlister takes the vacated seat of
Harry Douglas in the second ward,
and D. M- Haynes succeeds Charles
Price in the third ward. Charles
Price still retains his seat in the
council, having been elected council
man at large to succeed John San
born, who did not run for re-election.
Neither Mayor-elect Shaw nor At
torney-elect Jamar were nominated at
the primaries and their names did not
appear on the ticket, but both wen
elected by the use of "stickers." .
The new officers take their oaths
of office on January Ist of the com
ing year. Doctor E. Maguire. pres
ent mayor, did not allow his name
to be used for re-election in the re
cent campaign. J. S. Klemgard, of
j the Pullman State Bank, is the de
! feated candidate for mayor. The
| newly elected councilmen hold office
j for two years, while the mayor, coun-
I cilman at large, the clerk and treas
i urer are elected for one year only.
Doctor Shaw, who replaces Mayor
: Maguire on the first day of the year
j will say nothing for publication other
; than to reiterate the stand taken in
i his statement announcing bis candid
acy for the mayor's position. "1 am
pleased with the result of the elec
tion," said Doctor Shaw today, "and
I have nothing to say regarding the
policy that I shall follow during the
j coming two years except that every
) man and every detail of the regime
I shall receive a square deal. Ido not
take over the office until January I,
and until that time I have nothing
definite to offer as to my policy, I !
shall consult my friends and support
ers before outlining the work to tie'
done during the incumbency of my- j
self as mayor. Towards the begin
ning of the new year, I hope to have
a general grasp of the problems lac
ing the citizens of Pullman, and it I
win then be time enough to announce
the policy of the new city govern
ment."
!
The new council will lie called upon
to face many serious problems that
will materially effect the citizens of!
Pullman and vicinity. Each and
every member of the new body ear- j
nestly ask for the united support of j
the citizens of Pullman during the!
coming two years. In the near fu
ture the council will consider the
proposition of relighting the city of
Pullman, and several members favor j
the Tungsten plan of providing light j
for the city. A campaign for bet
ter streets and side-walks the city
over will be waged by the new law- j
making body, as well as a movement
to macadamize the road from the cen
ter of town to the college.
Perhaps the most serious problem
to come before the council will lie' j
In regard to the granting of a new
franchise to the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company, whose present
franchise expires next March. The
telephone people have asked for a \
25 year renewal of their right to car-1
ry on their business in Pullman,
ihe council contemplates at its (
next meeting the appointment of an
investigating committee to pass on
the fitness of the pictures* and films
used by the Star Theater of
Pullman. This committee will prob
ably consist of three members, whose
duty It will be to render a decision ,
as to whether or not pictures shown
at the Star Theater each week are of
the right nature.
The different members of the coun- j
cil ask too that the people of Pull- j
man take some active interest in the j
appointments to be made by the may
or in filling the subordinate offices,
; such as marshal and police Judge.
PRINCESS LEILA TELLS OP
ROYAL ENTERTAINMENT
Miss Leila Lavin, Pullman's Princess at Apple
Show, Relates Pleasures of the Favored
Young Ladies.
I do not think that Mr. Horton.
the representative of the Apple Show
exaggerated one bit when he said '
that the "princesses" would bare
the best time of their lives during
the Apple Show. Spokane is surely
deserving of credit for the way In
which they entertained the princess
es.
The first day, Thursday, Novem
ber 23rd, was the busiest day of all.
At 10 o'clock was the dedication of
the Monroe street bridge. In the'
afternoon an Informal reception and :
tea was given by the hostesses for ;
the princesses and their escorts in
the beautiful palm garden of the new i
Inland club. This reception was
merely for getting acquainted, and ,
each princess was given a royal 9
purple badge bearing the name' of ,
the town she represented. In the
evening there was an automobile
parade, about two miles long,
through the business streets of the
rity and ended at the Apple Show
building. After the parade the coro
nation ceremonies took place. The
king sat on a high throne in the
center of the stage and grouped on
either side of the throne were the
members of the royal apple family.
the knights in waiting and the thirty
three visiting princesses. Archbishop
Herbert Moore read the coronation
ceremony and placed the crown on
the king's head, proclaiming him
King Apple IV. The king responded
with a short address and this con
cluded the coronation ceremonies.
On the next day, Friday, there'
was a decorated automobile parade
In the afternoon. Eighteen electric
cars, all beautifully decorated, were
in the parade. in the evening at Si
o'clock the visiting princesses were
presented to the king. James W.
] Evans, court chamberlain. Introduc
|ed each princess Individually, call
i ing her name and the town she
; represented and each princess In turn I

Immediately following this the
princesses were driven to the corona
tion ball In the Hall Of the' Doges
jat Davenports. Over 50 subjects of ■
! King Apple participated In this ball. I

Carload shipments alone, and does not
include any shipments of stock hogs,
pure-bred or other shipped for breed
ing purposes by express or in less
than carload lots, nor does it in
clude dressed veal, of which hundreds
'if not thousands of dollars worth
have been shipped during this year.
The shipments include 4 2 carloads
i of hogs and 10 carloads of cattle. The
: Northern Pacific shipped '.',', carloads
! of hogs and the 0.-W. R. & N. ship
ped seven carloads. The Northern
Pacific shipped six cars of cattle and
the other road shipped two carloads,
'i he shipments over the 0.-W. R. &

Snake river, between Walla Walla
and Pasco, where this firm is mak
ing a big alfalfa and stock ranch and

been shipped out of Pullman this
year. The last car went out Tues

four trumpeters from Fort George
Wright. Following the trumpeters
came four king's councillors, two
archbishops and the * thirty-three
princesses and their escorts. 1 After
the- grand march was finished the
dancing began. During the evening
Madame La Uarraque, a famous
blind soprano entertained with sev
eral songs and Albert Nightingale,
solo cornetist, gave several se
lections. Punch was served In the
balcony and here many played cards
or watched the dancers. The danc
ing continued until long after mid
night. After the dance each princess
was presented with a large box of
candy.
Saturday was a very disagreeable
day, as It rained all day. Not
many princesses rode in the royal In
dustries parade in the afternoon, but
none' could afford to miss the theater
party nt the Auditorium in the even
ing. The play was the "Spring
Maid," and was a great success. Af
ter tin' theater a luncheon was given
for the princesses at Davenports.
Sunday was a day of rest and
was sorely needed after three such
strenuous days and nights.
Monday was the Inland Empire
parade. This parade was more than 3
This parade was more than three
miles in length. ' Each town in the
Inland Empire was represented by
a beautiful float and a band. The
Pullman float section, led by the W.
S. (' band was a brilliant part of
the procession. The float symbolized
t!ie wealth of the I'alouse country
by grains, fruits and vegetables, and
was gay with the college colors,
crimson and gray. '
Tuesday evening a banquet in hon
or of the princesses and their host
esses was given .it the Hall of the
Doges, During the- courses the
Enakops chorus entertained with
several songs. The chorus Bang the
verses to several of the popular songs
and Invited the guests to sing the
chorus, which they did with great
enthusiasm, At the banquet each
princess received a large boquet of
violets.
Wednesday afternoon ■ "Seeing

Leila Lavin

j last of four carloads he had bought
from local men. The other carload
■
was shipped by ■ Lewiston firm.'
There is probably half a carload of
apples left here to be shipped in
small lots, in addition to those need
ed for home consumption.
Strange as it may seem, the rail
road record shows that more apples
have been shipped into Pullman than
out of it. Up to date the vinegar
factory has Imported more than 100
tons, or about seven full carloads
of apples to be used In making cider
and vinegar at its plant on the
Northern Pacific tracks In the north
part of town.
