ANOTHER PLACE THAT
NEEDS WATER

Fire yesterday afternoon con-
sumed the home of w. c. Smith,
Thirty-fourth and Arthur. Although
the fire department was called out
in time, water could not be secured
because the nearest hydrant was a
mile distant. 1t was reported yes
terday that the fire was a repeti-
ton of the Country club conflagra-
ton and the destruction of prop
erty was due tot the lack of water
in the mains. This was disproved
this morning, however, by Assistant
Fire Chief Joyce.

"And you may state that the fair
management has nothing to do with
any such thing. We gave our
word last year that after the fair
we would not interfere with the
passage Of the anti-poolselling
measure or endeavor to disobey ii
in future"
Although the principal racing ar.
ranged by the management is har.
ness events, it is safe to say that
some fast running events will be
seen, almost equal to last year
when gambling was allowed. Fol
lowing the Spokane meet this year
there will be meets at Walla Walla
and Lewiston. From the North
Yakima state fair many of the own
ers will ship their stock here and
race for some of the purses, az
this is preferable, It is said, to lay
ing idle without a chance of max
ing any money. BY bringing the
thoroughbreds here the horsemen
would break long jump to Walla

HORSEMEN HOPE TO SELL
POOLS AGAIN THIS FALL
Fair Management Declares It Has
No Such Plan in View.

An effort Is to be made to repeal
the anti-poolseliing ordinance SO
that gambling may go on at the
Interstate fair races this fall. Just
how 1t is to be contrived is a ques-
ton yet unsettled. Local horsemen
who are now in Seattle remarked
before they left that they intend
ed to induce horsemen there to
send their strings to this city be-
cause they were confident that
there would be no legal objection
to pool selling by that time, which
meant that the ordinance was to be
repealed.
In such case, of course, Mayor
Moore would have to take another
trip East.
When questioned this morning
Manager Robert H. Cosgrove, of the
fair, declared in no uncertain terms
that II there was any such move
on the fair directors were not con-
cerned in 1t.
I'VE have made our plans with
pool selling eliminated" said he,
