THE TRACK

The principal item Of interest at
the Interstate track yesterday was
the unique way the harness horse
men had of working up excitement
for the crowd. The scoring took
SO long that every one was fret
ting, and some were cussing quiet
ly and rampsing around the bet
ting ring. Then something hap
pened. Bonny Ms sulky first turn
ed over and then turned over again
in the next heat To make things
still more interesting, the wheel OF
Delilah's sulky broke down in the
following heat.
The first heat of the 2:12 pace
was made in the fast time OF
2:12h. Winnie Mann won. But the
talent all got down on Sherlock
Holmes for the next heat as In the
frst he caught Winnie at the hill
and raced her to the finish, taking
second and almost nosing her out.
John R. Conway was third. The
second heat went to Sherlock
Holmes In a pretty drive, Winnie
Mann taking second and Ollie M
third in 2:15h. Ollie M took the
third heat In 2:15 with Sherlock
Holmes second and Conway third.
Ollie again responded for the
fourth and took the heat in 2:16R,
closely pressed this time by Con-
wawy, with Sherlock Holmes pac-
ing well and getting third.
The three year old trot. although
from racing standpoint not
amounting to much, was interest
ing principally because Bailey,
driven by Brown, couldn't keep in
sight of Dock Munday and Lady
w during either Of the two heats.
The time was 2:3c for the first
heat and 2:27k for the second,
Dock Munday winning both.
Wapnoagotis was the good buy
of yesterday in the half mile. The
betting on him was 2 to 1 for
awhile and he closed to 5. At the
first eighth pole Wapnagootis
forged ahead of Menden and kept
the pole all the way to the finish,
winning in romp. being given a
good ride by Tullett. Gemmell
took second and Menden third.
Time, 81 "a.
The mile event was won by
Prickles In an exciting finish in
1:54. He won easily with Ripper
second and Tuck Back third. Rip
per looked dangerous on the back
stretch when he started creeping
onto Pricgles.
The real classy race of the day
was the seven furlongs event which
was captured by Christine A in the
fast time of 1871, a second slower
= than the track record. Follow Me
took second and Cabin third.
The days sport was concluded
when Elfin King. a. odds of 4 to
1, took the Ave furlongs event in
1903 IA. Procrastinate was to
2 favorite but did no better than
show. Enchanter took the place.

Although but two days of the In
terstate Fair have passed and but
a small percentage of the rural pop
ulation has been in the city, the
number of callers at these head
quarters is appreciate. Interest
in the democratic ticket, as the
representative of efficiency as op-
posed to extravaganza, is noticeable.
The country people are aroused
against mismanagement of public
affairs. There has never been a
time when the farmer has shown
a deeper interest in the way county
affairs have been conducted. This
campaign represents an effect on
interests most vital to the taxpayer
and the farmer.

| the young of the county. Mr.. Todd
Is well known in this county, while
his service at the head of two of it's
largest schools has put him in touch
with the distinctive phases of the
work. His early training for his
profession was gained in the dis
| trict schools and the state normal
school of Kansas. After several
years of experience as principal of
city schools, he was elected county
superintendent with headquarters
at Centralia, Kansas, and was also
a member of the county text book
board. At this time he stood for
uniform graduation and classified
ton of the schools, and made a
careful examination of the systems
in operation in Nebraska, Mime
sofa, Illinois and Indiana, spending
some time in each of the states
named in personal study of the
merits and dement's of the various
systems.
1t was in 1900 that Principal Todd
came to Washington. His first
charge was at Covello, Columbia
county, which he left to become
| principal of the school at Hillyard.
In 1902 he went to Cheney as prin-
cipal, the following year returning
to Hillyard, where he has since re-
manned, his character and his work
commanding the confidence and re-
spect Of the patrons of the school.
His five years of work in leading
schools of the county have brought
him in the cloest touch with the
Spokane county system. His sue
cess speaks for itself. His educa-
tional library is one of the most
complete in the county, and each
new treatise on school questions
finds it's way to his shelves. Mr..
Todd's qualifications for his pro-
fession are seen not only in his
study Of authorities concerning
school matters, but his intellectual
attachments are vouched for by life
diplomas In the state of Kansas and
washington.
OF his policy touching the county
schools in case of his election, Mr..
Todd writes:
Il pledge myself to give the vot-
ers an honest, energetic, progress
sive administration. The schools
will be visited in person, and every
effort made to raise them to the
highest degree of efficiency. All
office work will be attended to with
promptness. All conflicting inter
ests will be given a fair and impair
tial hearing. The teachers will be
treated with justice and considera-
ton. l believe that all teachers
have legal rights which should be
respected, and all should have equal
chance to win success by his or her
own energy. The office of the coun-
ty superintendent will always be
open to teachers seeking positions
and to boards Of education needing
teachers, to the end that each may
be assisted and the best education
al interests of the county promoted.
An earnest effort will be made to
harmonic and promote the success
of all educational institutions of
the city and county so far as they
may come into relation to the office
of the county superintendent of
schools"
