VOLUME XXVII
FAMOUS WOMAN
TO LECTURE HERE
Miss Helen Keller, Wind and Deaf
Since Infancy. Is Now a Highly
/• Educated Person
-
Miss Helen Keller and her teach
er Miss Sullivan, now Mrs. John i
Macy, will lecture in the college au- |
iitorium Monday, April 12 at 8
p.m.
, The B tory of Helen Keller and her !
teacher, Miss Sullivan, is one of the j
most marvelous educational records j
of modern times. Miss Keller be- \
came blind and deaf at the age of
19 months, and although she has not
De€ D able to use the senses of sight
and hearing since then, she has,
through the most patient and skil
ful teaching of Mrs. Macy, become a
highly educated woman. She was j
graduated from Radcliffo College, \
the female department of Harvard,
in 1914, receiving the degree of B.
A., cum laude (with honor). It
would seem Incredible that a person
who practically could never see or j
heat should be able to take up high- |
er educational studies with marked
i distinction and even, as has been tho
case, become the author of books.
One of her books which she wrote in
college, "The Story of My Life," has j
been translated into 15 languages.
Mrs. Macy in her lecture will de
scribe the circumstances which led I
to her becoming the teacher of Miss !
Keller and will detail the methods '
by which she Instructed Miss Keller !
and thus opened the outside world
to her, which seemed locked forever, i
All who have had anything to do
with the training of children realize
how almost superhuman must have
been the task of teaching Miss Keller
to speak for the first time,
Mrs. Macy will demonstrate her
method of commmunlcating with j
Miss Keller. These lectures will
prove intensely interesting and in
spiring for they show that patience
and ambition can overcome the
greatest obstacles and accomplish
the seemingly impossible. The lec
tures will be given under the aus
pices of the Simpson M. E. church.

RUSHING WORK ON
STREET" CONTRACTS
Rig Force of Men and Teams Are
(ii-iiding Maiden Lane, Oak and
Opal Streets
C. G. Payne, who has taken the
contract to grade Maiden Lane, Oak
street between Star Route and Maid
en Lane, and Opal street between
Montgomery and Maiden Lane, for
the. Warren Construction company,
has a large force of men and teams
at work and is taking advantage of
■the good weather to rush the job. He
has also taken the contract to grade
California street. After the grading
I is completed the Warren people will
! send in a crew of men to do the sur
j facing and paving.
At present the dirt from the cuts
on Oak and Opal streets is being
'dumped along the east side of
l Maiden Lane to bring the street up to
1 the proper width and grade. A num
; ber of men with a steam drill are
! employed in rock work at the inter-
I section of Opal street and .Maiden

HELEN KELLER AND HER TEACHER
Bright Prospect for Good Road
chamber mil Commerce IMsciutaes {
Many Matters of Interest to Pull
man and Vicinity
,
The most encouraging report at I
the meeting of the Chamber of Com-!
merce Tuesday evening was given by
,1. N. Emerson for the committee ap
pointed to secure the required peti
tion for the construction (it the pro- 1
posed slate aid road from the Sav
age place toward Colfax. He report
ed that signatures had been secured
representing 38,500 feet of the re
quired 17,000 of abutting property
ami thai several other farmers had
talked favorably regarding signing.
Dr. Archer reported that the com
mittee appointed to supervise the
filling up of the mud hole near the
X. P. depot had performed its duty.
The had place has been filled with
broken rock, with a top dressing of.
cinders.
The following letter from the
Walla Walla Commercial Club was 1
read and D. F. Staley was appointed j
to attend the proposed meeting:
"After some correspondence with
the North Yakima Commercial Club
and the Spokane Chamber of Com- j
merce, the Walla Walla Commercial
Club lias decided to extend to you i
an urgent invitation to be present \
at a meeting in this city on Thurs
day, March 2'>. for the purpose of
devising methods of properly and ef
fectively exploiting an automobile
route through your city from Spo
kane and eastern points to the coast.
■Owing to the tact that much
publicity has recently been given lo
a proposed automobile route from
Chicago. -.Milwaukee and St. Paul
through Seattle, designated as the
National Park Highway from Chi
ago to Puget Sound.' and which
route has adopted the Sunset high
way by Wenatchee, we believe It is
up to tin towns of southeastern and
central Washington to get busy with
out delay in order that tourists both
by motor and rail may be thoroughly
acquainted with the scenic and good
roads advantages of a route which
leads from Spokane through Spangle,
Rosalia, Oakesdale. Garfield. Colfax,

Spring Farm Work f
...
i
l all Wheat Is Making Excellent
Stand, with Prospects for Rig
Crop—Moisture Needed
I
With the mild weather of the past
10 days spring farm work has ad
vanced rapidly, and the period of
'comparative inactivity for the farmer
has been brought abruptly to an end.
Fall sown wheat has come through
I the winter in exceptionally good con
dition, aud some stands of fall wheat
in the Snake river district are •_
Inches above the ground. In the
neighborhood of Pullman the wheat
has not made so much growth, but
lis thick and strong. Some farmers
who are now doing their spring plow
ing report that the plow has turned
up dry earth on certain parts of their
land, but the spring rains will rein
j edy this condition. It is expeted that
|the acreage in crop this year will
I break all previous records, as the
ton, Waltsburg, Walla Walla, Kenne
wick. Prosser, North Yakima and
Ellensburg.
".Mr. Harader of the. North Yak
ima Commercial Club expresses the
situation when he says: 'We take
exceptions to a discrimination in
routes across the state of Washing
ton, and we know that the Sunset
highway is dangerous and almost Im
passable in places. People who
travel across the continent in auto
mobiles are not looking for the
shortest route, and will consider
grade and conditions of roads, oppor
tunity for seeing a fine agricultural
country, nearness and size of towns
with garage facilities, etc.'
"Through this meeting we hope to
adopt, a plan which will at a mini
mum of expense bring about the de
sired results. Walla Walla Commer
cial Club will endeavor to provide
entertainment for the occasion and
make your visit to this city both
pleasant and profitable. Kindly ad
vise us at your earliest convenience
if you or any members of your or
ganization can be present."
The committee apointed to investi
gate the matter of leasing or pur
chasing the hall park reported that
the. old lease had three years more
to run and asked time for further In
i vestigatlon.
1.. E. W enham (ailed attention to
the fact that the treasury of the band
is empty and thai $150 is due on the
salary of the conductor. After some
discussion, in which the work of the
band was highly eulogized, a com
mittee composed of A. E. Olson, Dr.
Archer ami Dr. Rounds was appoint
ed to confer with a committee iron,
the band and devise ways and means
of paying off the Indebtedness and
1 financing the organization.
.1. 11. T. Smith was endorsed for
the position of secretary of the
Northwest Livestock association, W.
C. Kruegel was appointed to repre
sent the Chamber in the civic League
and F. C. Forrest was appointed as
chairman of the committee on enter
tainment in place of A. F. Brownell,
who has moved to Cheney. L. E.
Wen ham, A, E. Olson and E. O. Cath
cart were named as a committee to
confer with the City Beautiful com
mittee of the Civic club.
tow On in Full Blest
farmers are spurred by the present
high prices to plant every available
foot of their holdings.
Garden work has started and a
few enterprising citizens have al
ready planted their garden truck.
TO MEET is VANQUISHERS.
Grapplers from O. A. C. will try
conclusions with Coach Bohler
mat men next Saturday in the con
cluding meet of the season. O. A.
C. won from the University, 19-13,
and the University won from our
team 18-4, so that the dope looks
bad, but Coach Bohler gives his
team a good chance to win. .
The weights chosen by O. A. C.
have not been received yet, and as
they may bring an entire team, the
entire matter is very problematical.
However, it is pretty certain that
they will bring King at 108, Amort
at 135, anu Hawkins at 145. These
are considered their best men.

An Interesting case which occu
pied the attention of the superior
court last Friday was thai of Ida j
Glaze versus William Colo as sher- I
iff and the Pullman State hank.
Some time ago the bank secured a
judgment against 11. A. Qlaze of this

property which the sheriff was about
to seize was riot community prop

In an oral opinion rendered Friday
the court ruled in favor of the

PALMERTOMS HOSTS
TO MANY FRIENDS
Sunnysido Rill Club Members Enjoy
"Tacky" Party —Novel Features
Enjoyed
The spacious home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. M. Palmerton was the scene of a
very enjoyable party last Thursday
evening when the Neighborly Neigh
bors took possession of it for a
"tacky" party. About 60 guests en
joyed the hospitality of these well
known entertainers and as they ar
rived there was shown to lie a wide
divergence of opinion as to tin- mean*
ing of the word "tacky," as the cos
tumes ranged all the way from dire
poverty to gross Inconsistency,
The features of the evening were
all of qualm character and guessing
games predominated. Not the least
amusing was an old-fashioned spell
ing match with Walter Savage as
suming the role of Icabod Crane Willi
all the severity and dignity possible,
Mrs. Guthrie winning the honors by
remaining standing alter all others
had tailed. After other games there
came the call to "follow the leader"
and Mr, Palmerton started on a Jour
ney that took all present in single
file through the bouse, around tho
yard, through the darkened base
ment,and finally upstairs and around
obstacles in darkened rooms, finally
coming out in sections in tin- parlor.
Photographs of infants were handed
to the gentlemen and they were told
that each was tin- picture of some
man present, whoso wife would await
his company to supper. This partner
hunting task proved a hard one and
the cause of much merriment, but
when it was finally completed they
were given a "tacky" meal consisting
of a bread sandwich, a toothpick
and and a cup of water. This proved
to Ik- only a joke, the same as Mr.
Palmerton's smiling invitation to
have tea (sasafrass). and then delir
ious refreshments were served, after
which the time was spent with music.
At a late hour the guests departed,
unanimously voting Mr. and Mrs.
Palmerton "the best ever."
