VOLUME XXXI
PULLMAN TRIBUNE IS
ABSORBED BY HERALD
Agitation by Business Men for it
Combination of the Two Papers
Brings /(bout Result
After a long and useful career the
Pullman Tribune published its final
Issue last week. Wm. Goodyear,
publisher of The Herald, Pullman's
pioneer newspaper, has purchased
the subscription list and good will
of the Tribune and the Whltlock two
revolution cylinder press. An addi
tion is being built to The Herald
quarters to accommodate the addi
tional press and other machinery
which will be added, and the whole
plant will be' rearranged as rapidly
as possible.
" The merging of the two papers fol
lowed an agitation for the consolida
tion on the part of the merchants and
private citizens of Pullman, who be
lieved that the duplication of effort
on the part of the two weeklies
should be eliminated.
- The Pullman Tribune was estab
lished In 1891, three years after the
first issue of The Herald had ap
peared, with J. J. Murray and H. M.
Brainard as its sponsors. Later Mr.
Murray retired and a stock company
was formed, with Prof. E. R. Lake
and W. V. Windus associated with
Mr. Brainard. In 1895 Mrs. Minnie
Sargent purchased the one-third in
terest held by Mr. Brainard and as
sumed active management, her nam'*
appearing as editor. Five years later
she absorbed all the stock and be
came the sole owner. In 1906 the
plant was purchased by L. E. and W.
L. Wenham, who have conducted the
newspaper ever since. >
L. E. Wenham, the senior member j
of the retiring firm, expects soon to
locate on the coast, while W. L. Wen
ham will remain in Pullman.
The Herald, which now becomes
Pullman's only city newspaper, was
established in 1888 by Judge Thos.
Neill, still a resident of this city.
Judge Neill's law business soon de
manded his undivided attention and
ford -Allen, now chairman of the
Oregon State Industrial Accident
Commission, took the plant over.
Eleven years ago he disposed of the
newspaper and plant to the Pacific
Farmers Union company, and a few
months later that company leased the
entire holdings to William Goodyear,
who recently purchased the plant
and equipment.
The Pullman News, after a career
of five years as a third city weekly,
was absorbed by The Herald in 1911.
while the Dally World, established
in the early nineties, lasted only a
few weeks, when its doors were
closed.

NOTICE
The Pullman Tribune has been absorbed by The Herald.
All subscriptions to the Tribune which were paid beyond
April 1 have been added to The Herald mailing list and all
subscribers who were taking both papers have been credited
with the balance shown by the Tribune books. The combining
of the two lists has involved a great deal of work, which bad
to be done hurriedly, and some errors may have been made,
but they will be cheerfully rectified. All Tribune subscrip
tions not paid beyond April 1 have been dropped, as The Her
ald will adopt the strictly cash-in-advance system for sub
scriptions. Every subscriber will be given due notice of the
date of the expiration of his or her subscription and unless it
is renewed it will be discontinued. This system has proven
to be the most satisfactory one, both to publishers and sub
scribers, and is not to be construed as any reflection upon the
honesty or credit of those who fail to renew their subscriptions
promptly. The Herald hopes that all who were taking the
Tribune, but had allowed their subscriptions to lapse, will now
subscribe for The Herald.
While the circulation has been nearly doubled as a result
of the combination, the rate for display advertising will be
advanced but five cents per single column inch, from 15 cents
to 20 cents, with special rates on contracts for 1000 inches or
more. The rate for readers will be five cents per line for each
insertion, or 10 cents per line if set in black face type.
PULLMAN MAY HAVE
TWILIGHT BALL TEAM
Moscow Fans Want to Organize Four
vTfiirfi .Vague of Strictly Amateur
Players
A twilight baseball league, includ
ing the towns of Moscow, Lewiston,
Colfax and Pullman, is proposed by
tho Moscow commercial club and the
Pullman chamber of commerce has
delegated a committee including F.
E. Sanger, E. W. Thorpe and J. F.
Bohler to investigate the plan and
take the steps necessary to ,the or
ganization of a local team if it proves
feasible. The Moscow booster or
ganization in a letter to the Pullman
chamber of commerce, proposes that
fames be played every Friday even
ing at 5 o'clock, and that the busi
ness bouses close during the con
tests.
All of the towns included in the
proposed league are on improved
highways and easily accessible to all
the 'other towns by automobile, so
that little time would be lost In
traveling. Local fans favor the plan
and In all probability the committee
will report favorably at the next
meeting of the chamber and proceed
with the organization of a team. The
plan proposed by the Moscow fans
Is that the teams be made up of
strictly amateur players residing in
each town and that'each player wear
a uniform donated by some local
business firm and advertising such
firm.

to be derived from the consolidation
I of the two weekly papers of the city,
and that we will look with dis
couragement on any attempt to es
tablish another weekly paper in the
city, so long as the present paper
meets with the needs of the com-
I munity."
WAR WORKERS END
DUTIES DISBAND
Will Devote Money in Treasury to
Memorial to Boys Who Died in
the War
A year ago this spring there was
organized a club whose membership
consisted of all the girls of the city
of Pullman who wished to engage in
war work in this community. Their
work is now finished. Last Friday
evening at 8:00 o'clock, in the cham
ber of commerce rooms in the city
hall the Community War Workers
held their last meeting and voted to
disband,
The following decisions were
made: The Lohese club will receive
the club house furnishings.
The canned fruit which was put
up by the girls last summer will be
donated to the led Cross and, most
important of all, is the plan to dis
pose of the money in the treasury,
about $150. This will be used to
provide a memorial to the boys who
have sacrificed their lives in, the
world war. The idea is to erect one
of practical value to the community.
A committee consisting of Lenore
Emerson, Alary Hedges and Jacque
line Bahrenburg was appointed to
take charge of this matter.
i
'. Considerable emotion was dis
, j played at this last meeting when the
! girls thanked Mrs. Serena Mathews
. for her wise leadership, which made
their work enjoyable. She respond
ed by thanking them for their faith
ful devotion to duty, whereby the
Community War Workers association
accomplished its purpose and the of
fice of commander-in-chief was made
. a pleasant one.
