REVIVE MOVEMENT FOR NEW
EASTLAKE CONSERVATORY

Park superintendent John Morley is
making another effort to induce the
council to vote a new conservatory for
Eastlake park, or for Agricultural park,
if the latter is added to the citys con-
troll
Every Sunday thousands of persons
wander through the narrow. congested
aisles of the present Eastlake green
houses admiring the beautiful plants
even under the disadvantages at which
they are shown.
Either a new conservatory or an en-
largement of the present facilities is
absolutely necessary.
With the new fiscal year the question
will be pushed effectively.

Los Angeles II, oakland 2

Tip VAN HALTREN and his brave
X followers pulled off an awful joke
~ at the Chutes yesterday. Ihey
made a bunch of fans think there was
going to be a ball game, and after the
mob was comfortably seated the oak
landers fooled them by failing to play
ball at all. Instead, something ap-
preaching opposition to the Shriner cir
Gus was unloosened, and the Angels
won by as far as from here to there.
The Angels all fattened their batting
averages off Carnes and Mcfarland,
who decorated the mound for Van Hal
tren, and sixteen hits were recorded
The eleven runs were by no means
earned, for nine errors figured in the
doings and were all made at opportune
moments. Los Angeles also made
few misplays, but were far from being
as bad as their opponents.
Another of Berry's new twirlers-
Thorsen-made his bow and proved
that Hen was in luck when he grabbed
him. Thorsen kept the Oaks down to
four safe hits and fielded his position
perfectly. Together with Koestner,
who appeared the day before, Thorsen
will be a favorite with the local fans If
he keeps up the good work.
Both teams scored in the opening in
ming. Cook led off for Oakland by get
ting away with a short hit that Thor
sen juggled. Van Haltren sacrificed in
time of need, and Cook stole third.
From there 1t was easy to the paying

being responsible for the transporta-

Brashear Scores Oaks

Bernard died early after being land
ed on first because of four wide ones,
for Oaks slapped one to Eagan which
was forwarded to second ahead of the
first man. A wild pitch and passed
ball followed each other, and by the
time Dillon was ready to try his luck
Oaks was on third. Dillon went out,
but Brashear was the delivery man
with a single to left.
The second was also sorrowful for
Oakland. Ellis and Delmas were pre-
scented with admission tickets, and
Easterly sacrificed them on a station
Ellis Started for home on ThOrsen's
short hit and was run down between
bases and Carnes had a chance to re-
tire the side when Bernard popped up
an easy one. The leather was muffed
and, with every pillow spoken for,
Carnes made the game better by a
handball speciality which knocked the
sphere over Quick's head. Van Haltren
got excited and canned Carnes, and
Mcfarland was put in the pill foundry
Delmas scored on the fancy work, but
Mcfarland took care of the rest.
One more was added to the pile in
the third round, Ellis getting a single
after Smith had been put out on
fancy play. RUDE stole the next block
and came home when Easterly followed
Delmas' out with a single, which Cook
failed to handle properly. Easterly
kept On going and was nailed at the
plate on Eagan's relay of Van Hal
tren's throw.
More in Fifth
couple more were collected in the
fifth act, which Smith opened with a
single to left. Ellis sacrificed and
Delmas and Easterly both got hits,
scoring Smith. Thorsen's high fly back
of short was not gathered in by Van
Haltren, and Del trailed home.
Another brace was recorded in the
next inning, the first one being put in
motion when Cakes was safe on an err
ror. Dillon was out and Brashear
brashed the ball on the bill, sending
Cakes to third. Smiths sacrifice got
him home, and Brashear connected
with the coin when passed ball and a
wild pitch were recorded.
In the seventh act the Angels got
foolish and loosened up long enough to
give Oakland one run, but to prove
that they didn't mind Oakland came
right back and delivered three to the
locals. The inning was full of poor
playing and was as amusing as the
Chutes monkeys. The score:

Big Vote Required In
Governorship Contest

The Olympia correspondent of the
Seattle Times figures that the candi
date for the Republican nomination
for governor in the September prjmar-
les will have to set his mark st about
80, 600 votes in order to be the first
choice of his party for the place.
The estimate made by political OBJ
servers is that the total Republican
vote cast for Republican state officers
in the primaries will not exceed 49,
900. Forty per cent is required to
give the nomination on first choice.
The highest vote for a Republican
candidate cast in the general election
of 1906 was for F. W. Cushman. can
didate for Congress, who received II.
921 votes. Two years before that.
however, in the Presidential year.
Cushman's vote was 93.32S. while
M. A. Fullerton. candidate for su-
preme judge. led his party's state
ticket with 94.224.
The highest Republican vote cast in
1904 was for Presidential electors, S.
G. 'Cosgrove receiving 1O1. $40. The
vote on Presidential electors, how
ever. is not considered a fair criterion
as to the normal Republican vote. par
ticularly in that year when sentiment
in favor of the election of Roosevelt
for President permeated other poli.i-
cal parties in this state. Based on
the returns of the last election and
the growth of the state in the succeed
ing years. it is estimated that the nor
NAL Republican vote this year is about
100. 900.

ing men in the city. and others have
expressed themselves as very much

addition to the big store. It is pro-
posed. and arrangements are now
being made. to own and operate line
of vessels on the Sound that will
carry the produce of the farmers to
the large centers from the different
islands. and it is expected that by
the time the crops are ready to har-
vest the company will have several
boats ready to handle the freight that
will be offered.

The Largest Launch
Built in the County

On the 21st of April the launch
"Nokomis" was launched at $3.50 p.

of Shaw island. opposite Orcas dock.
Although launched on two degrees
ways the launching was very success
full. the boat and cradle clearing the
ways by fifty feet and at IL. mid
night. lay at anchor all clear, and the
cradle was in place on the ways again.
"Nokomis' was built for the fish,
ing business. She is two tank boat,

May Change Date
of Primary Election

SEATTLE. April 20. Especial cor.
respondence. An effort will be made
at the next session of the legislature
to change the date of holding the pri :.
mary election in this state. and many
who have looked into the question
believe there is strong probability of
the law being amended in this respect.
The demand for this change origin
ated in the farming counties of East
ern Washington. It is claimed that
the farmers are practically disfrsn-
chised by the holding of the primary
election early in September. This is
the busiest time of the entire year
with the farmer. and he will not take
chances on losing part of his crop in
order to participate in a primary
election.
Members of political committees
in Eastern Washington counties de-
clare that not to exceed thirty per
cent of the votes will be cast at the
September primaries in the farming
sections. If the weather Is good every
available man will be employed in
the field. for the harvest season will
be in full blast and the loss of even
a days time might mean thousands
of dollars to the big farmer. This
condition was pointed out on the floor
of the state senate by Senator E. G
Bratt. OF Spokane county and others
when the primary election bill was up
for consideration. The first primary
election bill passed by the senate at
the last session provided for holding
the primary election in May. but this
was afterwards changed to September.
Earlier primaries will be endorsed in
the next legislature by good many
Western Washington representatives
on the ground that the time between
the primary election and the general
election is altogether too short to
permit of thorough organization and
campaigning after the nomination of
| the ticket.
