DAMAGE SUITS KEEP
w. w. P. co. BUSY

In the case of Roscoe Britton, a
boy who, through his guardian,
has filed suit against the Washing
ton Water Power Co. for 100000
damages, the company has filed an
answer in which it denies resron-
sibility for the lads injuries. Brit
ton got on a Maxwell avenue car
Nov. 6 to steal ride for block
or two, as boys sometimes do. He
claims the conductor threw him
off the car in a violent manner,
while it was moving at a high
speed, causing permanent injuries.

men IN LINE

The real estate men are boosting
the booster spirit in earnest, and at
a meeting last night decided to
raise publicity fund of $4,000 to
he used in exploiting Spokane. The
meeting was held at the Masonic
temple and was presided over by
D. NJ. Thompson. The plan agreed
upon is to have a committee make
assessments on the $50 different
firms, the assessments to be pay
able monthly and to be graded &C
cording to the ability Of the firms to
pay specified amounts.
4 An effort was made to start the
subscriptions last night and several
large offers were rendered, but it
was thought best to wait until the
committee was ready to act. The
matter will come up again in two
weeks, when a second meeting will
be held.

One of the time honored political
lodges to influence an election is
the betting feature which places
one man as a big favorite over his
opponents and to make good the
hackers often dig deep and consid-
er the money posted as good as lost
as mere election donation.
The present campaign is show
ing the same line of work and poll
ticians have stated that Fassett is
a 8 to 4 bet against ONO. This on
the other hand is disputed by the
ONO men and there are other bets
where men have given to l that
ONO will defeat any man on the
republican ticket that the taker
may name.
OF course there are no betting
men lined up with c. M. Fassett.
Mayor Moore also ran on a reform
ticket but his hackers managed to
overcome their scruples enough to
grab up. something over 100000
that friends Of Daggett had posted.
The Daggett betting was a bluff
which was called to standstill and
when the Daggett money ran out
the Moore men were standing
around waiting for more money.

PlndalI Salary to Be Paid.
The passage of House Bill No. SO
PARKS, appropriating S6,250 to be
paid X. o. Pindall for his services as
acting governor in the past two years,
was the chief event in the house Mon
day, while a short and snappy mes
sage from Governor Donaghey, in
which the governor refuses to comply
with the resolution adopted by the
house last week which provided for a
personal trip of inspection over the
new state capitol building, was the
feature of the morning session.
An entire afternoon was spent in
discussing the Parks bill, which was
taken up shortly before the noon
hour, and which passed at o'clock
In the afternoon by vote of 81 to %.
No lengthy speeches on the measure
were made by anyone, but nearly a
half of the membership discussed the
bill, speaking either for or against it.
The argument against the bill in gen
eral was based on the claim that X
o. Pindall should not have remained
in the Office, but that he should have
called a special election for a new
governor.
The opposition to this argument de-
clared that this should never have
been done, as it would have been ne
cessary, it was claimed, to have de-
clared Governor Little incapacitated
to have carried out any such action.
Those who fought for the measure
also argued that personal feelings in
the matter should not be allowed to
interfere.
A slight furry was caused in the
afternoon, when Mr.. Winn of Pulaski
declared that he did not believe that
Mr. Pindall had done his duty in re-
gard to the enforcement of the 2-cent
railroad rate law.
