POST OFFICE RECEIPTS
SHOW INCREASE
The total receipts of the Pullman
post office for the last fiscal year of
the post office department, which
closed March .'! 1. amounted to $20,
--157, a gain of $450 over the pre
vious year. This will moan an in
crease of $100 in the salary of Post
master Reed. The receipts of the
Colfax postoffice for the same year
were $16,154.
The receipts of tile' Pullman office
are not a fair indication of the pos
tal matter bandied on account of the
largo volume of mail sent out ami
received by the experiment station
and extension department of the
state College under the government
frank. The fact that the Pullman
post office leads all the others in
Whitman county is a good indication
of the relative size and growth of
the several cities and towns.
MAY IMPROVE PARK
Extensive improvements to the
big city park are advocated by the
park committee of the chamber of
commerce. The proposed improve
ments include the construction of an
adequate driveway and an extensive
playground, for track, football, base
ball, and tennis in the east end of
the park. The agitation fur a com
munity playground, since the aband
onment of the lease on the city base
ball grounds, is quite acute, and in
all probability provision for the play
of the youngsters will be made. The
need of a training ground for high
school athletes is also imperative,
and it is thought that the city park
will provide ample accommodations
for all lines of sport, with the proper
improvements. The chamber has ap
pointed a committee of three to act
In conjunction with city officials in
devising ways and means of making
the necessary improvements.
TO RAISE CLUB WORK FUNDS
A baseball game between the city
of Pullman and the college or, a
mammoth street dance, to which the
people of neighboring towns would
be invited, are proposed as possible
means for raising the $50 subscribed
by the chamber of commerce for
boys' and girls' club work in Whit
man county. The matter has been
referred to the entertainment com
mittee of the chamber of commerce.
HENRY YOUNG IMPROVED

Young, who was taken suddenly ill
last week while on his way to visit
the home of his son in Idaho, is
