COUNCIL AND CHAMBER
IMPROVE AUTO PARK
Stoves, Wood, Ranches, Tables to Re
Provided for Tourists—Divert'
Creek into Original Channel
The city council and the chamber
of commerce are co-operating in im
proving the big automobile park
and within a few days Pullman will
have as well appointed and accessible
an automobile park as can be found
in the Palouse country. The city
council, at its meeting Tuesday even
ing, authorized the city engineer to
proceed at once with the cleaning out
of the brush and debris from the old
creek channel so that the water
will follow it c long the base
of the hill entirely through
the park. The creek channel has
been changing rapidly during the
past two or three years, the result
of brush heaps near the east end of
the park and rock which was
dumped by the construction gamp of
the Warren Construction company,
forcing the flow of water to a new
channel. This resulted in the flood
ing of the entrance to the park un
der the 0.-W. R. & N. tracks and
this summer the park has been al
most inaccessible because of this
condition. The diverting of the
water to the original channel will
leave the entrance high and dry, and
make It available for use as a tem
porary entrance until arrangements
can be made for a more permanent
one.
Brick stoves, benches, tables and
other conveniences will be provided
In the park as soon as possible, and
the grounds will be made an ideal
place for the tourists who desire to
remain here overnight. Signs direct
ing the tourists to the grounds will
also be installed. At the chamber
of commerce meeting Tuesday a com
mittee including J. S. Klemgard, W.
L. Greenawalt and Professor Phelps
was named to represent the chamber
in the deliberations with the city
council in regard to the park im
provements.

3 Million Dollars

It bought MUSIC
No finer example of courage is known to the world of YY
science than Thomas A, Edison's work in perfecting the K'Y
phonograph. The skeptics rose in full chorus when he
proposed a better phonograph,an instrument "that
could produce music as human as the artists who first ,
gave it utterance." ',% •
Mr. Edison's experiments exhausted the entire
field of research in sound reproduction. He built
and rebuilt until his final, perfected model cost -
him Three Million Dollars. ',_♦*;
AND THE RESULT?
Ask someone who attended the Marie Morrisey recital May
20th. There was a public proof. Miss Morissey sang in com- ;.':
parison with the RE-CREATION of her voice by the New V-
Edison. And no one could distinguish the living voice from •
its RE-CREATION.
The NEW EDISON
"The Phonograph with a Soul"
