PULLMAN. Wash. Aug. 19. (Spe
cial Correspondence.) The distance
from Moscow, Idaho, from which place
I wrote last, to this little city Is 10
stiles, the direction traveled to get here
almost due east, the road practically
leading through one vast wheat field
and such wheat! Some of the fields I
am told will run as high as 50 bushels
to the acre, the average being nearly
4 bushels. The land Is not Summer
fallowed every second year as in the
real dry farming sections, but once' In
three to five years while some of the
fields bear continuous crops for seven
or eight years.
In traversing this last 10 miles
through this wonderful Falouse coun
try J saw from the car windows but
five Summer fallowed fields, practical
ly all of the rest of the land in wheat.
The harvest is now about at its height.
Much of the grain has been cut and
lies in the fields rn shocks, same has
been threshed, and threshers and har
vesters are seen on every hand. The
combines are practically a thing of the
past, not only here but in most wheat
sections. The better class of wheat
growers would hardly take one now
as a gift, principally because they
leave the weed seed on the land and
foul the land and crops.
' College Bmildtags Extensive.
Pullman, like Moscow, is a college
town, the great state college of Wash
ington being located here, which em
braces the state agricultural experi
ment station. This Institution has
buildings worth 11,600,000, and is be
ing enlarged every year. Like the Ore
gon Agricultural College and. Univer
sity of Oregon, it has until recently
depended on the State Legislature for
appropriations to sustain it and en
large it, but now it is on a millage
basis, the state tax for its support
amounting to about one-third of a mill.
So much has been written about
this institution, which during the
school term has some 1400 students
and an experimental farm of 400 acres,
that I am not going to try to go In
to further details about. The people
of Pullman are exceedingly proud of
it. as every citizen of the state may
well be, but one ought to pass a week
or two with the faculty to write in
telligently about it. I simply made a
tour of the farm with Professor Sev
erance, chief of its agricultural de
partment, got a view of the livestock,
saw the wonderful crops being raised,
took a look over the surrounding coun
try from a promontory, so had merely
a casual and superficial oportunlty to
see what is being done.
Water Great Asset.
"Artesian water brought the college
and the college built the town," is the
way on of the citizens summed up the
theory of Pullman's existence and
growth. Of course) there has been a
little town hera for a good many years,
but artesian water waa struck some ti
years ago and the college was located
here about Si years ago. There are
now in the city limits about 20 ar
tesian wells, the depth running from
to 135 feet, with a flow from eight
to It feet above the surface. The water
is pure and cool,, the supply appar
ently inexhaustible.
The city waterworks use this water,
forcing it into a reservoir above the
town, and the college has a system
of its own. I might here interject the
statement that the precipitation at the
college campus is from 22 to 25 inches
a year, and further that they irrigate
none of their crops.
A leaflet Issued by the Chamber of
Commerce of Pullman gives this brief
synopsis of the city's advantages:
"Pullman is a city of homes, has eight
churches and no saloons, a population
of 20i, exclusive of the 1400 in the
student body, is the geographical and
cultural center of the famous Palouse
country, ia located 85 miles south of
Spokane at a junction of the O.-W R.
Jb N. and Northern Pacific railways,
ia on the south fork of the Falouse
River, is a city with electric lights, ar
tesian water, macadamized streets and
a modern sewer system, is the home
of the State Agricultural Experiment
Station, home of the State College of
Washington, has $45,000 invested in
public school plants, 604 pupils, 147 in
high school, percentage of total enroll
ment attending high school, 14.14. In
New Tork City only 3 per cent.
Much Paving Done Rceatly.
This leaflet must be several months
eld, perhaps older, for it-makes no
mention of the two or more miles of
splendid hard-surface pavement and
cement walks that have been laid re
cently. These pavements are all in
the residence portion of the city, so it
ran be seen that Palouse people do not
clean up their front dooryard and leave
the backyard covered with litter and
garbage. The main business streets are
macademised. good enough streets
for any town, so the citizens think they
will do until the residence streets are
taken care of. As ths improvements
are paid for by the property owners,
and the work done on the petitions of
those who foot the bills, and nearly
every street Is soon to be paved. It will
be seen that Pullman has an enter
prising population.
There are two good weekly news
papers in Pullman. The Pullman- Tri
bune is owned by TTenham Brothers
Louis and Edward. The former is edi
tor. They run a mighty good paper,
have a well-equipped office and seem
to be making good. Louis brought his
automobile around to tne hotel and
gave me a spin around the town and
suburbs and through the college
grounds. He is a mine of information
about the entire county and gave me
facts enough for a dozen articles.
Farnarra Owa Paper.
The other pa-per. The Pullman Her
ald, is run by William Goodyear. Karl
P. Allen being the editor. The plant
belongs to the Farmers' Union and Mr.
Goodyear leases It. This paper also en
joys a liberal .patronage and is well
conducted. Mr. Allen being an able
and versatile writer..
Pullman has three banks, the First
National, which has a capital and sur
plus of $74,260 and deposits of $295,993.

mind," - said the Governor, "as to ths
need of a unit system of highways on
this Coast, It was dispelled by the trip
just concluded. It was In a way an ob
ject lesson, for' the great state high
way over which we traveled Is a model
of mountain road-building."
He was roundly cheered.

MARION PENSIONS HELD UP
Women Owning Farms Apply for
Aid From County.
SALEM. Ot.. Aug. 19. (Special.) Al
though the Widow's Pension Aet has
been in effect almost three months, not
a single application for a pension has
been allowed in Marlon county. Coun
AMPCS OP WASHIiGTO S mi a
ty Judge Bushey, who has made an in
vestigation of several cases, declares
there is no money with which to pay
the pensions, and that there will be
none until the next levy is made in De
cember. "W( are taking care of the poor wi
dows under the old law," said the coun
ty judge. "I have investigated several
of the cases and And few of them come
under the operation of the new law.
For instance, one woman who is seek
ink money und'.r ths act owns a large
farm.
"In another instance the mother and
her children were getting along nicely
on their farm until they thought they
could get money from the county
through the new act. When it became
effective they stopped work, and now
expect the county to support them. It
applications should be allowed the
county could Issue only warrants until
the levy is made. I suppose the banks
would cash the warrants although 1
am not sure of that."
The amount of money asked by wi
dows in this county totals more than
$12,000 a month.

James H. Nichols, who was said by the
Coroner's inquest to have shot and
killed Mrs. Florence Stockslager and
then to have committed suicide, throws

Wilson and Cloucbrek who performed
the autopsy, attsr describing the course
of ths bullets, is as follows:
"There were no powder marks around
the wounds and we flat no powder
marks on his clothing. It would appear
almost beyond ths realm of possibility
that wound could have been self-Inflicted."
Friends of Nichols say he never
owned a revolver. ' A search of his
house revealed no ammunition of any
character, and none of the stores had
sold blm a weapon.

BIG FACTORY FAILURE
BENEFITS PORTLAND HOMES
Forty-Two of the Very Finest and Latest Improved Player
Pianos Ever Made Will Be Sacrificed in Portland..
A firm of bankers found Itself the
owner of two carloads of latest player
pianos that had been shipped West
Of course tbey were anxious to gV
their money back. Their representa
tive was sent to Portland, and ar
rangements were finally consummated
whereby KUers Music House secured
at Its own price two carloads of
the very finest and Internationally re
nowned player pianos, the famous Solo
Autogrands and other Instruments
made by the Krell Autogrand Piano
Company of America, in Its splendid
factories located at Connersvllle, Indi
ana. Ths big company was unfortu
nately forced into bankruptcy mainly
becauss of Insurmountable difficulties
with which it was confronted during
the great Ohio Valley Inundation.
BANKERS ACCEPT OFFER.
Two carloads of the very finest player
pianos made by this renowned Institu
tion were shipped West. A firm of bank
ers In Chicago advanced a large sum ot
money on the bills of lading covering
these two carloads. The bankers' rep
resentative finally came to Portland.
At tho Oregon Hotel hs finally accepted
the offer made by the management of
Eilers Music House whereby the entire
two carloads came to us at our own
price.
LATEST AND VERT FINEST.
These player pianos are positively
the very finest to be had. regardless of
price. Each lntrument is a model of
perfection. Each will appeal at ones
to the best posted player pianists.
Needless to say that most extraordi
nary concessions were offered In order
to dispose ot these costly pianos. All
question as to the proper title was also
satifactorlly disposed of. Now Eilers
Muslo House offers these Instruments
for sale. They are to be sold at a
lower price than these or similar fins
new player pianos will ever sgain be
obtainable. But terms are cash; no pay
ments. Ths high standing, the untarnished
reputation of these superb player
pianos would be severely Injured if ths
actual sale prices were published. But
Eilers Music House stakes Its reputa
tion upon this statement, that these In
struments are now offered for sale for
less thsn any dealer In the country
has ever heretofore bought new player
pianos of such worth at wholesale from
the factories direct.
PRICES WCLtDE ALL EXTRAS.
The prices at which we shall sacrifice
these Instruments would be considered
low, very low. Indeed. If placed en ordi

Announcement Means Shorter Route

and Ends Long Contest.
HOQUIAM. Wash.. Aug. 1. (Special.)
After a contest, which has lasted sev
eral months and which was taken into
the County Court, an agreement was
signed yesterday on the building ot the
C D. Hansen road and the Quiniault
road west and north of Hoquiam. which
assures the construction of the two
highways. In rosd development in the
Hoqulam district this is one of the most
important announcements In several
months.
Ths Hansen road, which connects a
constructed road to New London, north
of Hoquiam, with several miles ot old
logging railway grade belonging to the
poison lagging Company, has been a
bone of contention for several months.
The road when completed will be a
shorter routs to Humptulips City and
the Quiniault. Ths Quiniault road from
Humptulips City north to Quiniault
U.k, a, part of the Olympic highway,
for which the state appropriated $.

zens for several years, Tha construc
tion of sight miles of this road Is al
ready under way. but the signing ot the
agreement today between the county
and tho Poison Logging Company sot
ties all matters of right-of-way for
both pieces of road.
' Ths Quiniault road, when completed,
will open up to travel the Quiniault
Valley, allowing the autolat to drive
