NOTED ENGINEER
To VISIT PULLMAN j
C. K. braver of Chicago, Rational
secretary id' the American Associa
tion of Engineers, will visit Pullman
and the State College of Washington
chapter of the association on Sep
tember 12.
Mr. Dr&yer has been actively en
gaged in engineering society work
for the past nine years. He was one
of the pioneers in the awakening of
the profession to the need of Its tak
ing part in the solution of political
and business problems as contrasted
with the purely technical field.
The American Association of En
gineers was organized in 1915 and
since that time has grown to a mem
bership of over 25,000, It is Inter
ested in the engineer instead of en
gineering and its work in ethical
practice, licensing, employment,
compensation and other activities
has been invaluable to the profes
sion.
The State College chapter is a stu
dent section organized in the spring
of 1921. Members of the student
body and faculty in any of the
branches of engineering and archi
tecture are eligible for membership.
It is hoped that as many as possible
will take advantage of the opportun
ity to hear Mr. Drayer, although his
visit is unavoidably scheduled a week '•
before the opening id' college.
NEILL REMINISCENCES
INTEREST OLD TIMERS
Several Pioneers Resurrect Relics of
By-Gone Days—Articles to Be
Continued
The publication In The Herald of
the pioneer reminiscences written by
Judge Thos. Neill has created much
interest among the old-timers of the
Pullman community and many relics
of by-gone days, in the nature of
photographs, magazine and news
paper articles, early directories and
other interesting bits of history have
been resurrected since the first in
stallment of the historical sketch ap
peared. The Herald is desirous of
making the history as complete and
detailed as possible and will wel
come Information from any reliable
source to be used in a series of early
history articles to appear at the con
clusion of the Neill sketches. John
Squires, one of Pullman's earls pio
neers, is the possessor of a copy of
the "Northwest Magazine," publish
ed in 1891, which contains a four
page sketch of the city, together
with numerous photographs. Mr.
Squires also has a cop} of the first
city directory published. Extracts
from these pioneer relics, together
with other information furnished by
Mr. Squires, will form an added
chapter to .the history.
J. C. Hudson is another pioneer
who has resurrected interesting pho
tographs and bits of history which
will be of interest to the readers.
IJ. M. Palmerton is the possessor of
a wealth of historical data and has
promised a chapter or two on his
impressions of the city to years ago.
J. B. Holt, Wilford Allen, for years
editor of The Herald, now located at
Grant Pass, Ore., will be asked to add
their bit to the series of articles, and
other Interesting sidelights will be
gleaned from old files of the paper.
Old-timers are urged to co-operate
with The Herald in its effort to make
the history as complete as possible
and articles, photographs; or data
will he welcomed from any reliable
source.
BARN, AUTOMOBILE, COW
DESTROYED BY EIRE
The barn on the James Emert
property, in the northwestern pat of
the city, was destroyed by fire Mon
day evening, with all its contents,
including an automobile and a cow
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but the flames are believed to have
started from the electric wiring, the
current having been turned on only
a short time previous to the fire for
the first time in several months. The
\ current was cut off, however, before
Mr. Emert left the barn, about two
hours before the fire was discovered.
The barn was valued at upwards of
$.100 and was insured for $100. The
automobile was a Maxwell, owned by
Ora C. Emert, and was a total loss,
with insurance in the amount of
$"00. The cow had been purchased
only the day previous. There were
ii few bales of hay in the barn, to
gether with some cans of paint, and
it is possible that spontaneous com
bustion may have caused the fire, al
though tin wiring theory appears to
present the more probable cause. The
blaze was a spectacular one and at
tracted many onlookers, the entire
structure being burned to the ground
in less than 15 minutes. Together
with slight damage done to the house
and trees by the intense heat, the to
tal loss is approximately 11200.
