to $4,000 was done to the drafting

PUCH IS
CHAIRMAN

Felix M. Pugh was made chair
man of the republican county CEN
trail committee at the gathering of
that body at the courthouse this
morning. Mr.. Pugh was paid the
compliment of being the only one
whose name was presented. He
was given authority to name his
own secretary and to appoint exc
cutice, finance and other commit
tees. David f. Laws, at present a
member OF the city health boards
inspectf5n staff, is said to be slated
for the secretaryship.
Owing to the fact that County
Surveyor Cummings was appointed
by the county commissioners to
hold office until the November cleo
ton, there Is short term, that
between election day and the first
of the coming year, for which no
nomination has been made by
either of the big parties. Mr.. Cum
mings was nominated for this term.
The same situation is said to ex-
fist In the case of Constable Grant,
connected with Justice Suckers
court, and the nomination will be
made later.
A vote of thanks was given
Chairman David T. Ham, who re-
tires after four years, with a rec
ord Of electing the entire county
ticket two years ago and all but
one candidate on the ticket four
years ago. The retiring secre-
tary, Denton M. Grow, also re-
ceived vote of thanks for eff
fciency in handling the details of
the campaign.

electrical WORKERS
10 CONTINUE FIGHT

The electrical workers profess to
be greatly pleased with the support
given them by all classes in their
fight with the Washington Water
Power company. They claim that
the company only operated four ex-
ira cars to Natatorium park last
Sunday and point to this fact as
proof mat the ban on that place is
becoming more effective. They ex-
pect to continue the fight until the
company sees that it is to their
advantage to permit their employees
to organize for mutual benefit and
protection. At the last meeting of
the Central Labor union the strik-
ers said that they had every rea-
son to feel satisfied with the prog
ress made up to date and that
there was absolutely no disposition
manifest to discontinue their eff
forts to obtain fair treatment from
the Water Power people.

MAY
PAY BUT CITY
HAS To

The board Of public works is 60
ing ahead with the new Howard
street bridges and paying for the
work with city money.
This Is done on the presumption
that the Washington Water Power
company will reimburse the city
in full when the work is com
pleted.
But will It?
The board has no form of con.
tract or written agreement to COM
pei such payment. The board is
paying for the work and taking
chances on corporation collec-
ton. II the board is as reluctant
in this collection as Chairman Roy
was in assessing the cost to the
company when instructed to do so
by the council the account is likely
to run some time.
A bill of $500 for lumber was
paid by the city yesterday, being
the first expense of the temporary
bridge being erected on Howard
street across the river in place of
the collapsed middle span.
With regard to this payment ].
T. ONO, member of the board of
public works, said:
THE work is going along under
the supervision of the board, and
we will pay all bills until the work
is completed. Then a bill totalling
the whole amount of expense will
be paid into the city treasury by
the Washington Water Power CON-
pany."
Mr.. ONO said he did not believe
the structure could be completed
wl.-.n .Ae estimated expense of
$1,000, although it would not cost
much more.
1t is claimed the bridge will be
ready for streetcar and foot traffic
by the middle of next week.

WAITING FOR
SURVEY

The management Of the Spo-
kane Inland railway is prepared to
undertake the construction of it's
line to Moscow, Idaho, just as soon
as the line is completed between
Spokane and Colfax and Spring
Valley and Palouse. When one
piece of work is finished the next
will be taken up until the entire
system has been built.
Within few days rumor has had
it that the line to Lewiston would
be pushed forward at once. This
is not the case, as no engineers
have gone over the ground, and
there is no report as to the prob
lens to be encountered.
