LOCALIZED PRIMARY
Special Primary is Governed by
Regular Primary Law

There seems to be doubt
among some people as to whether
the special Democratic primary
tomorrow will be a LOCALIZED pri-
mary or whether it will be wide
open, free-for-all, y with no res
trictions as to the qualifications of
electors.
For his own satisfaction, Asses
sor G.. NJ. Finn wrote Attorney
General Norwood for bis opinion
upon the matter, and received the
following reply, which he kindly
furnishes The Journal for publ
cation.
Mr.. &. NJ. Finn,
Batesville, Ark.
Dear Sir and Friend
Replying to your communica-
tion of the 20 inst, | beg to state
that | think your views on the
Primary Election Laws are cor
rect. The law applies to all pri-
mary elections, and if special
primary is held to fill vacancy
caused by the death of one of the
NOMINEES, it would be governed by
the Primary Election Law the
same as the one we held on the
Both of March.
| have no authority to advise
you upon this matter as the At
torney General, but this is my
personal opinion in the matter as
a personal favor to you.
Your friend,
Hal L. NORWOOD.
The new election law was pub
lished in full in The journal of
March %. 1t is act 165, page sos,
of the Acts of 1909, and can be
found in the Office of any justice
of the peace.

COLFAX AGAINST PALOUSE.
CoIfax Played PoorFootball Game
Last Saturday.

Colfax lost to Palouse last Saturday
in q close game of football, the final
score being 3 to 0. Colfax played the
poorest game it has played this season.
The boys played all right individually,
but they didn't play together and team
work is what makes the team. Neither
scored the first half, although Palouse
tried for goal from the field, A great
deal of time was taken out, practically
all by Palouse, as the boys had to stop
and discuss every play before running it
off.
In the third quarter Palouse succeeded
in kicking the ball between the goal posts
from difficult angle. After this COlfax
took the ball down the field to within
striking distance of Palouse's goal, losing
the ball.
Colfax was unable to get forward
passes off up to standard, while Palouse
succeeded with several. Colfax played
more in Palouse's territory than Palouse
did in Colfax's, although both goals
we're in danger and both had to resort
to puntipg several times.

Enthusiastic Socialist Meeting

Our socialist friends held a good sized
meeting in the court house Sunday after
noon, which was addressed by D. c.
Coates OF Spokane, socialist candidate
for congress from this district, his theme
being socialism, and Mrs. Moore, also of
Spokane, who, while acknowledging her
obedience to the cause of socialism,
spoke in favor OF giving women the
ballot. Mr.. Coates is printer by trade,
at present running a job printing Office
in Spokane. He enjoys the distin ction
OF having served a term as lieutenant
governor of Colorado. He is a pleasant
speaker, evidently sincere in VIII at he
says, appealing to the reason rather
than to the passions OF his hearers.
While the candidate of his party for
congress he said he did not come to beg
for votes but to plead for the cause Of
socialism. Charles n Hinchliff presided
and introduced the speakers.

ELECTION IN OLD WHITMAN.
Republicans Elect Most of Their
Candidates In County.

The election in Colfax and throughout
Whitman county last Tuesday passed
oil quietly but with a manifestation of
deep interest. 1t rained hard all dav.
This fact, however, did not keep people
from the polls. They turned out and
voted Just the same.
Below is given the total vote for each
candidate, less the vote of Rock Lake
precinct, which had not come to hand as
we go to press. Sixty nine votes were
cast in that precinct two years ago, 80
being republican. The vote of that pre-
cinct will not change materially the vote
OF the several candidates announced be-
low, or the majorities OF successful can
didates.
The vote for judges of the supreme
court follow: Nominees OF republican
convention, 2549 votes, Judge Fullerton
getting 1896 votes. The non-partisan.
democratic nominees received 3S7, while
the socialist candidates polIed 269 votes.

WASHINGTON STATE IN LINE
All Three Consressmen Republican
--LegisIature Heavily So.

Washington has not lost prestige as
a republican state. The election Tues
day resulted in old time republican ma
iorities. The next Legislature will be
heavily republican, thus insuring the
election OF Miles Poindexter to the United
States senate.
All three republican candidates Tor
congress are elected with thousands OF
votes to spare. Congressman Humphrey
of Seattle is re elected by heavy vote.
Stanton Warburton OF Tacoma is an
easy winner, while William L La Toilette
OF Pullman will have larger majority
than was ever given a congressional can
didate in this district.
The republican nominees for judges OF
the supreme court have all been re elected
by majorities ranging over 10000. They
are Mack F. Gose for the unexpired term
of four years; George E. Morris, Frank
H. Rudkiu, Emmett n. Parker and Mark
A. Fullerton each for the full term OF six
years.
The woman suffrage amendment has
carried by a vote OF two to one, and the
approval OF the amendment for success
sion to the governors chair has been
adopted by equally as strong vote.

As most readers know Sam Small, as
he is best known, has been before the
American public for % years. He has
lectured in every state in the Union and
has addressed millions of people. Ec-
centricity is his chief characteristic, but
he is a man of substantial qualifications
aside from that. Tall and straight,
nearing the three score mark, possessed
OF voice full and sonorous, if not at

GOOD WORK UNDER WAY.
South End to Have Another Source
of Water Supply.

The city council is putting in a water
main leading to South Colfax along Col
gotha street. Golgotha street crosses
the valley leading east and west by the
Carley foundry and machine shop, end
ing at the base OF the hillside at each
end. The south end district is supplied
with water by main that crosses the
river at the Main street bridge, which,
in case of accident, would shut out that
part OF town from water supply. By
connecting with the water main at Col
gotha street and laying pipes across the
South Palouse river leading 600 feet to
a point at or near the Van SchOick resi-
dence at Cooper and Lake streets, con-
Meeting again with the present water
main, will give the south enders two
sources of water supply.
The mains crossing the river at Col
gotha street will be buried in the bed OF
the river a sufficient depth to be beyond
the possibility OF doubt OF being carried
away by food conditions. 1T looks now
that the new south end bridge will not be
built for some time, q condition that
leaves the water mains at tha point in
an exposed condition, as the work cannot
be permanent until the new bridge is
built.
The Golgotha improvement is work in
the right direction.

WHY BRIDGES ARE NOT BUILT
Factory Destroyed by Fire, Will Soon
Rise From Ashes.


Daylight can be seen ahead for the
construction of the south end bridge in
Colfax, as we'll as the Rock Creek bridges.
Engineer McCaw received this week a
letter from the Ottumwa Bridge Co. of
Ottumwa, Iowa, which has the contract
for supplying the structural steel for
these bridges, throwing light upon the
subject. As most readers know their
plant was destroyed by fire, hence they
could not furnish the material contract.
ed for at the time demanded. The fol-
lowing extract from the letter to Mr..
McCaw is selfexplanatory.
"We beg to acknowledge receipt Of
your favor of 21st inst. relative to ship
ment for Cooper Lake and Rock Creek,
order by A. Walk, some time ago. We
beg to advise that our factory on the
3Oth of August was totally destroyed
by fire, but it is now practically COM
plete and within few days we will be
running full capacity. The steel for
Rock Creek bridges is now going through
our shop, aud the steel for the Cooper
Lake bridge we can ship within three
weeks after receipt OF approved shop
plans for this bridge. These plans we
expect to be able to send you tomorrow
for your approval"

sponse from those in attendance.

for sidewalk in front OF lots 1, 3 and 4,

missing walks and crossings. Referred
to street committee
A deed from James A. Perkins and
vile conveying to the city OF Colfax all
of lots l, 2, 3, 4 and 3, fractional block
5, Prescott & Perkins Riverside addition,
was presented to the council and ac-
cepted.
Street committee asked for further time
in matter of o. R & N. franchise to put
in side track from near round table to
-four mill. which was granted.
The matter of repairing stone work at
Island street was left in hands of street
committee, with power to act.
On motion the mayor appointed
Counclmen Stravens, Barroll and Per-
rine a special committee to investigate
the cost Of putting in fume on Canyon
street, leading from the Methodlstehurch
to the river. The object of this work is
obvious. Every spring an immense body
OF water comes down this street from
the canyon above, present arrangements
for carrying off surplus water in many
instances being insufficient. Last March,
during the food period, an incipient
river caue down the canyon, more than
filing the street and flooding adjoining
property.
Bills allowed and ordered paid. Cur
rent expense account, $1536; water,
$11OO.92.

ing to Hear Him.

The court room was crowded Monday
evening to listen TO the address OF DR..
Sam Small OF Georgia on the subject OF
prohibition. 1t was red hot from start
to finish, something never before heard
by Colfax audience. DR.. Small is a
character, law unto himself, having no
exact imitator that We ever heard of.
He hit from the shoulder. While the
saloon keeper was handled without
gloves the doctor did not place all the
blame on him for the presence of the
saIooe. The citizenship was to blame,
and Mr.. Small proceeded to lambast the
citizenship, many OF whom were present,
in an unmerciful manner. The sarcasm,
hits and thrusts kept the audience in an
ecstacy OF delight, many laughing till
the tears rolled down their cheeks. 1t
was not all fun, however. DR.. Small is q

PASADENA WOMEN WILL
OPERATE OIL COMPANY

COALINGA, June 10.-W. w. King,
manager of the McCaldin interests in
the Devils Den, says the citizens of
that new and flourishing city would
not stand for the name of Pluto for
the postoffice name nor any other name
in which they were not consulted. The
people have had enough of lower re-
gion names in that district. anyway,
and do not propose to have another
cognomen of the foul fiend used as
their postoffice address.
A committee of citizens there was
appointed to select a name, and that
name is now on its way to Washing
ton and will not be divulged until the
government makes the name legal.
Mr.. King, in company with Mrs.
Caldin, Don Ferguson and E. W. Sch
ring of Pasadena, has been on an auto
trip through the oil fields and made
locations for drilling the three wells
on their property in the Devils Den
A company in which all the officers
directors and stockholders are women
of Pasadena is preparing to drill for
oil on land belonging to the McCaldin
interests in that territory. Work will
be started on all of the wells as soon
as possible.
