An Outbreak of Gambling

We have been repeatedly reminded
in the past ten days that gambling has
been going on to considerable extent
at certain places. One man informed
the writer that in one place a black
jack game was being conducted and
that money was openly displayed on
the table. One day the past week six
men were arrested on a charge of
gambling. All plead guilty and paid
fines of $3.50 and costs. This is to
put all parties on notice that the pros
ecuting attorney will have his attention
called to the violations of the law
against gambling in the future. Parties
who are interested in having the law
against gaming enforced have asked US
to say that it will not be tolerated.

ing Mrs. Shortley's rooming house.
Mr.. Lannon is in business in his native
town and contemplates erecting a two
story brick building on his lots 60x90
feet and will probably begin this fall so
as to have the building completed
before winter sets in. He has two sons
who will, he says, likely go into BUSH
ness here. There are two other lots
between those above mentioned and
the corner, both having one story frame
buildings on them, the one occupied
as laundry Office, belonging to Jack
Smith, and the other occupied by Geo.
Heating, engaged in the hardware bust
ness, the latter belonging to E. A. King.
Some member Of the party, which one
we are unable to learn, has endeavored
to agree on a price for the two lots on
the corner, and il is understood should
they buy these lots brick block with
a 100 foot frontage will be erected.
The party left for Seattle Sunday after
noon but will return in about ten days.

Hon Miles Poindexter, of Spokane, Meets
LeaVenwrrth People

Mr.. Poindexter arrived here We'd
nesday afternoon and in the evening
addressed a number of citizens in the
opera house. The talk was rather in
formal. Partly devoted to explaining
some of the provisions of the pri-
mary law to which frequent reference
has been made in in the press. Par
ticularly that portion which relates to
the first and second choice for state
officers and members of congress
where there are as many as four or
more candidates for the same office.
Mr.. Poindexter explained quite clearly
how the voter should prepare his bal
lot to avoid having that part Of his
ballot declared void. He stated that
in those instances where the voter
must indicate a second choice the
ballot would show very plainly where
the first and second choice of the voter
should be indicated by cross mark.
Mr.. Poindexter made it quite clear
in his talk why he was opposed to the
constitutional amendment to be voted
on this fall giving the tax commits
sioners the power to fix the tax rate
on different kinds OF property and also
why he was opposed to repeating the
$500 tax exemption provision.
Mr.. Poindexter is a ready talker and
made a good impression. He is
thoroughly familiar with the political
issues in which the people Of eastern
Washington are interested. He served
a term as prosecuting attorney Of Walla
Walla county and removed from there
to Spokane eleven years ago. He is
serving his first term as judge of the
Superior court in Spokane county and
is regarded as one OF the ablest judges
on the bench.
He left here yesterday afternoon for
Chelan and Waterville.
