THE NEW AND THE OLD.
How 1t Was Exemplifed on Hunt
ing Trip Sunday.

Hunting in an automobile for sage
hers and jacks is brand new sport
and. as published, appears to be very
exciting. But, according to the tales
told by those who are in a position to
know the facts in the matter, the ex-
element takes on a different phase.
We have heard the story. and 1t is a
good one. Here it is:
Frank Sharkey. Arthur Carr and
Warren Erwin started out at daylight
Sunday morning for the reservation to
spend the day in search of sage hens
and. incidentally, such other game as
they could run across. They were sup
piled with the necessary licenses and
had no fear of the warden. They used
up a large quantity OF ammunition
and bagged, so they say. some fourteen
chickens. They also paid visit to
Fort Simcoe. in order that all residents
of the reservation might be impressed
with the superiority of the "choo- choo"
machine over the horse.
But they were not the only ones on
the hunt in that part of the Lords
domain on that day. Another party.
consisting of Messrs. John Weigel and
Sam McCaw. were there with their
guns and ammunition and from re-
suits produced had their eye with them
and it was not 'red-eye." They hunt
ed over practically the same territory

went in the good. old-fashioned way

walton they We're overtaken by the au-

HORSE SHOW AT SPOKANE FAIR.
VIII he One of the Chief Textures of
the Exposition.

The horse snow at the Spokane Inter-
state fair. which opens this year Sep
TENDER a. will be one of the chief fea-
lures of this exposition. More prizes
are offered and already more exhibitors
have agreed to come with horses
enough to make a department greater
than the horse department has been at
any former fair. Manager Robert II.
Cosgrove is planning special features
in order to give all the visitors a bet
ter opportunity to see these fine ami
mails. One arrangement which he is
making is to have the judging of the
carriage, draft and coach horses in
the open field in front of the grand
stand on different afternoons OF the
fair. Thissw work will go on while rae
ing is in progress, but it will give
thousands of people who usually do
not get around to the horse stalls an
opportunity to see these beautiful ami
mails. Mr.. Cosgrove also intends to
have a parade of all the livestock some
day of the fair.
Mclaughlin Brothers, who have their
headquarters at Columbus, Ohio, are
expected at the Spokane fair this year
for the first time, with some of the
finest horse flesh ever bred in Europe.
This company recently sold a horse in
the Big Bend for $4,000, which is said
to be the highest price ever paid by
farmers for a single stallion. Archie
II. Galbraith and E. r. Dent of Spo-
kane and Max Mulouin of Mica have
some fine draft horses which they will
exhibit. NJ. c. Gray of Pullman says
he will have some newly imported
stock to show this time. Luke NJ EN-
erson of Bowling Green, NO.. is again
coming to the fair with a car load OF
jacks
special premium of $50 for the
best saddle horse, mare or geldlng is
one of the new prizes offered this year.
The horse must show good breeding,
he kindly disposed and tractable. A
800 solid silver cup is given by the
Pacific Live Stock association for the
best farmers or ranchers' driving team
owned or shown by exhibitors This
cup becomes the property of the ex-
hibitor after It has been won three
times. This association also gives a
800 cup for the best pulling draft
team. Another contest will be for
the best driving horses In harness.
DR.. S. r. Nelson of Pullman again gives
handsome cup for the best pair of
grade mares or geldings or mare and
gelding In harness to vehicle. the team
to weigh at least $500 pounds and be
hitched to truck or farm wagon.
OF especial interest to the boys will
be a SIS first and $3.50 second prize for
the best Shetland pony.

GAUNTT CHOSEN AS ARCHITECT
WILL OVERSEE CONSTRUCTION Or
Y. VI. c. =. BUILDING.
Selected by Committee and Has Accept
cd CommissiOn-PInns to he
Prepared at Once.

y. C. Gauntt has been decided upon
by the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton as the architect who will prepare
the plans and oversee the construc-
ton OF the s25. 600 association build
ing in North Yakima. Mr.. Gauntt left
for the Sound Friday night He said
that he would put his draughtsmen at
work Immediately working out the
plans INTELLECTUALLY from the sketches
submitted by the committee. and that
in all probability the completed plans
and Specifications will be ready to sub
NIT to Secretary Turner next Monday.
Secretary Turner also left for the
Sound Friday evening. He will get
the plans from Mr.. Gauntt as soon as
they are completed, and will consult
with Y. NJ. c. a. secretaries in Belling-
ham, Seattle, Portland, Tacoma and
perhaps other places, with the idea of
seeing IL they can in any way be inn
proved upon to meet the requirements
of the building here. The Bellingham
building cost about the same that the
building in North Yakima will cost,
and the two will be in many respects
built along the same lines.
When Secretary Turner returns he
will doubtless have complete set Of
plans ready to submit to the board of
directors, and upon their approval by
the board, work may be expected to
begin at an early date

A West Side business man in talk

of me see why West Siders should be
SO blindly following Mr.. Armbruster
into this municipal ownership trap.
Have they forgotten that up to the
time the present company took over
the plant we could never get water or
light on the West Side? Can't they see
that in the last two years many miles
of water mains have been laid and
many miles of electric light built over
here. till even the most distant, sparse
~ settled sections are getting just as
well fixed as the center of the city?
That is, they would he go tiyed I, ".

eternally kicking against the much
needed new hydrants and arc lights.
We now have several miles of the big
gest water mains in the city clear out
over the tops of the hills and electric
lines away out into the country and
we know very well the revenue has
not justified either one.
What has built up our business and
residence districts on the West Side,
and what has made lot OF people rich

INJUNCTION AGAINST THE
SPECIAL ELECTION
DECISION HANDED DOWN BY JUDGE HANFORD
Restraints City From Proceeding With Plan to
Condemn Water Plant OF Northwest Water
and Light Company.

Judge Hanford of the United States
district court Friday morning decided
that the Northwest Water & Light
company was g. titled to have its APP
piication for an injunction against the
city granted. and he accordingly
granted a temporary injunction re-
sraining the city from holding the
proposed election to condemn the
water plant of the company The de-
cision was handed down in verbal FORM
and the attorney for the water COM
pany, II. ]. Snively, was given until
Monday to prepare the order, which
Judge Hanford will sign.
Judge Hanford stated that the case
presented many very interesting points
of law, and was in many ways an I'M
portant one. In the first place, Of all
the cases of a similar nature decided
in the courts. there have been none
in which the water plant sought to
be condemned was connected with 4
light or power plant. Conditions to
be considered were therefore entirely
new.
Judge Hanford will be in the city
again Monday for the purpose of hold
ing session OF the court and sign
ing the order 1t was rumored last night
that at that time the city would file
a demurrer based on the allegation
that the court had no jurisdiction and
that the grounds were insufficient to
warrant the decision. The court will
also be petltioned, it is alleged, to set
the hearing at an early date.
1t Is not known when the final hear
ing will be had The matter rests en-
tirely with Judge Hanford, who has
been instructed by Judge Gilbert to
look after the matter until its final de-
termination, and the date OF the hear
ing will depend upon the amount OF
other work the court has to attend to
all probability 1t will be before the lat
ter part of October.
The .city's side of the argument was
presented by Attorney Frank Luse. The
hearing was attended by large num-
Der of citizens.
Mr. Armbruster, when asked for an
EXPRESSION as to the decision, said: II
do not care to say very much at this
time l am very sorry that the dcci-
sion will prevent the people of the ely
from expressing their opinion. On n
careful poll I am satisfied that fully
SO per cent of the qualified elec.o IS
are in favor of municipal owner 'hip
7 Eave asked the people to be pa
tient as there are other ways Of OBJ
tanning municipal ownership of a wa
ter plant.
IT was not in the least discouraged
by the decision given by Judge Han
ford. I am in this fight to win for
the people. and do not intend to give
UP until the battle Is won.

that he had been requested by the at
torneys for Pat Mullins to make in
Qulry as to what the city intended to
do about the bill Mr.. Mullins submit
ted some time ago covering alleged
damages sustained on account of loss
of time. etc. Mr.. Mullins was going
to build the city's sewer system. 1t will
be remembered. but he didn't. and he
claims that he sustained damages by
monkeying around. waiting for the city
to get ready to do business with him,
amounting to something like $4,000
Attorney Forsythe said the representa-
tives Of Mr.. Mullins wanted the coun-
ell to order a warrant drawn in pay
ment of the claim. or else to disailow
the bill. so that Mr.. Mullins would
have a chance to commence suit against
the city to recover. Councilman Schott

tion." stated Judge George Turner to-
day. when shown an Associated Press
dispatch, quoting Governor Chamberlin
of Oregon as urging Turner's nominal

THE nomination of Bryan may al
most be taken for granted, and the
nomination for vice president will go
to the east. Should 1t fall to the Pa

ried his state and who would carry it
