COUNCIL APPROVES |
iiWESf APPROACH!
.f .- ' ——
City Dads, at Request of Chamber:
, Committee, # Adopt Resolutions i
Declaring Intention to Pro
vlde New Approach from
West / {
A
' !
The city council Wednesday even- 1
ing went on Record as favoring the
construction of a new approach to,
Pullman from the west, when a reso-;
lution, declaring the intention of the
city to make the improvement at the:
.earliest possible moment, was adopt
ed. The proposed new approach is
designed to provide a better grade
for the farmers residing west of
Pullman than the present West
approach, with its 13 per cent grade.!
The West Main road would be main
tained and would probably be large- i
ly used by automobiles and light
loads, while heavy loads would be*
diverted to the proposed new road.
The survey for the proposed new
highway has been completed and the I
full description of the route is in
cluded in the resolution adopted by j
the council. The survey starts on
the present Colfax road, near the:
old J. B. Holt property, runs past
the northwest corner of the I. O. O.
F. cemetery, thence east through the
J. M. Palmerton property and to the ,
0.-W. R. & N. right-of-way near the
depot. It would provide a five per |
cent grade.
The resolution adopted by the;
council, with the description of the
route omitted, is as follows:
Be It Resolved by the Council of:
the City of Pullman, That a public
highway be established 60 feet wide
(except on the part of the line on !
the property of the 0.-W. R. & N. I
Co., which shall be as wide as ar-;
arrangements can be made therefor
with the railway company). Be it '<
further |
Resolved, That the right of way
for said road be procured by pur-1
chase, if satisfactory arrangements'
as to the price can be made with'
the owners of the property, and if
said right of way can not be pur
chased at a reasonable and fair j
value that proceedings be taken to:
condemn the same, providing, how-
ever, that the amount paid for -.aid f
right of way shall be paid by citizens!'
of Pullman and vicinity and that be-'
fore any proceedings to condemn j
are instituted that a bond be, fur
t
Dished by the citizens of Pullman to
pay the awards that may be made |
in said proceedings and all costs I
thereof, and be it further
Resolved, That when said right
of way is secured that the city will'
open at the first favorable opportun- 1
ity said road and put it in shape for
public travel.

The expenses of Pullman's two
delegates from the State College to
the world meeting of teachers and
students to be held at Dcs Moines,
lowa, December HI to January 4,

The chamber of commerce unan

which is undertaken by the student
volunteer movement, and voted per
mission to a committee of students
to solicit contributions to the fund.
The committee will ask for $200 to
defray the expenses of the two Pull

It was suggested by the commit

people rather than by asking' for
larger contributions from a few
people.
It is planned that the soliciting of
the business district of Pullman will
take place Saturday afternoon. The

PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 5, 1919
RIDICULE Will DOWN
AGITATORS-BROWN
Transatlantic Flight Hero Presents
New Suggest ions for Combatting
1. W. W. Menace
A new but apparently plausible
means of combatting the I. W. W.
menace was proposed before the
chamber of commerce Tuesday by
Sir Arthur Whitten Drown, first to
make a non-stop flight across tin
Atlantic ocean, when he suggested
that ridicule might prove a better
means of ridding the nation of the
menace than force or other means
The distinguished visitor called at
tention to the cartoons which, he
says, are the order of the day in the
daily newspapers, depicting the I
W. W. as a huge beast of strength
and picturing the public as a dimin
utive victim, struggling in his grasp
He pointed out that, this attempt to
mould public sentiment against the
agitators might in reality give the
agitators an exalted opinion of theii
real strength and cause them to at
tempt things which otherwise they
would consider beyond their power
"Ridicule has killed many a good
thing." said Sir Arthur, "why not
employ it to kill a few bad things
Get the public to laughing at the I
W. W. and his nefarious undertak
ings and I believe you will have gone
a long way toward combatting hire
and his influence. I believe the 1
Wj, W. can be killed by ridicule."
The visitor was a guest at the
noon luncheon of the chamber and
gave an interesting address. Touch
ing upon the subject of aerial trans
portation, Sir Arthur expressed sur
prise at finding this means of trans
portation so woefully underdevel
oped in America. "The United
States gave the airplane to thf
world, then sat down and let the resv
of the world raise it," he said, anc
continued that he had come tc
America from England expecting tc
find aerial transportation in a high
state of development. "I found noth
ing but mail routes," he said, "and
my surprise is that you Americans
world renowned for your business
instinct and activity, should sit by
and let the other nations outstrip
you in this matter."
That aerial transportation is the
safest means of them all was the
contention of the speaker, who quot
ed British figures to prove that the
number of accidents per mile flowr
in aircraft is less than the numbei
of accidents per passenger mile or
railroads.

NUMBER 7
BROWN LECTURES ON
THRILLING JOURNEY
Ttudents ami Townspeople Listen
to Hero Of Fumouf Transatlantic
Flight ' I
I
"I believe that the future peace
and unity of the world depends up
on the development of aeronautics,"
said Lieutenant Arthur Whitten
Brown, K. B. E., who lectured to a
packed house at the college audi
torium Tuesday evening.
"England at pr sent is five days
away from America. Wtih the use
of aeroplanes England is only two
days away. Air transportation will
bring nations closer economically,
socially, and intellectually. The
aeroplane was not built for war but
for peace."
Lieutennat Sir Arthur Brown,
who with Captain John Alcock,
K. B. EC., D. S. C. achieved the stu
pendous record of standing on the
continents of America and Europe in
the same day, gave a detailed ac
count of this marvelous trip.
Leaving the Newfoundland Coast
at 4:28 p. m., Greenwich mean time
on the 14th of June in a Vikers
Vimy Atlantic machine, Alcock and
Brown landed at Clifden at 8:40 a.
m., Greenwich mean time, 15th of
June, a distance of 1960 miles, in
1 6 hours, 12 minutes. "Averaging
a speed of 120 miles an hour, climb
ing, diving, looping the loop, and at
times flying nearly upside down be
cause the fog and mists of the North
Atlantic had blotted out the sun.
moon, and stars," in spite of the
fact that the exhaust pipe burst on
the starboard engine a little over
half way across and the machine be
gan to spin, the most stupendous
achievement of this age was accom
plished.
"The machine used was built by
the Vickers-Vimy Co. of England,
which corresponds somewhat to our
Standard Oil Co. in the extent-of
their interests. This company man
ufactures everything from battle
ships and dirigibles to sewing ma
chines and toys. At present they
are working on a flying boat of
5000 horsepower."
Sir Arthur was somewhat disap
pointed at the attitude of the United
States toward aeroplanes as the con
gress at Washington voted only 25
million dollars for their manufacture
while England, with less than half
as large a population, voted an ap
propriation of 125 millions. He'!*
certain that aeronautics will play a
great part in the future of the world
and although they will in no way*
displace ocean and railway trans
portation they will co-operate with
our present means of transportation
so as to greatly facilitate them.
When asked about the danger of
the trip Sir Arthur modestly replied:
"When one crosses a street in a city
if ho should stop he perhaps will be
run over. It was no more dangerous
than that. I lay the safety of th«»
flight to the presence of Twinkle
toes." Twinkle-Toes was the mas
cot of Alcock and Brown on their
flight, and is a tiny black kitten with
beady eyes. She stood the journey
very calmly and well us she is
stuffed with sawdust.
Lady Brown is accompanying Sir
Arthur on his lecture tour.
