purely conventional. The inventor OF
the centigrade simply took for zero
the coolest temperature known in his

ground for his selection. Absolute
zero is point fixed by nature and

TURKEY SHOOT
A BIG SUCCESS
Annual Thanksgiving Event of Pull
man Rod and Gun Club Attracts
Many NimrOds-IIigh Scores
In All Events

The annual Thanksgiving shooting
tournament under the auspices of the
Pullman Rod Il Gun club attracted s
large number of trap enthusiasts and
the bluerocks were shattered in a
way that would make the experts sit
up and take notice. In nearly every
event it took a score of 10 straight
to get peep at the turkey, but near
ly all the contestants appeared to
have their shooting clothes on and
the prize fowls were distributed
among a large number of contenders
Nineteen events were pulled off
and in five of these events the old
hands at the game were not permit
ted to enter, to give the novice a
chance to win his Thanksgiving din
ner. In each event a turkey was
given as first prize, goose fol sec
ond and a duck for third, and In
nearly every instance ties for first
and second place were decided by a
flip of a coin. The M st consistent
performer of the day was one James
Harpole of Colfax, who for a long
time had the link" of the local
shooters. In IL events Harpole took
five firsts, and shot an average Of
SIS per cent. He was hard pressed
by VanDorn of this city, who pulled
down four firsts and averaged SO
per cent.
The name of each contestant who
won first place, together with the
number of first, seconds and thirds
to his credit, is given below:
Harpole-Five firsts; two seconds.
VanDorn-Four firsts; two sec
onds; one third.
Attentive firsts; two seconds;
three thirds.
Henry-Two firsts.
Hickman-One first; three sec
onds.
Ford One first; two seconds.
WILLIAMSBURG first; two thirds.
Reicher-One first one second.
McNutt-One first.
Beck-One first.
Besides these. Martin. Klossner.
Rolph. Priyett, Parr and Codd took
seconds and thirds. but did not land
first prize.

LIGHT QUESTION
STILL UNDECIDED
Proposition of Company TO Change
Street Lighting System Still
Hangs in the Balance

The proposition of the Idaho
Washington Light and Power COM
Eany to change the present system OF
street lighting in this city and in
stall tungsten lights in place of in
eandescents In the residence districts,
Which has been before the city coun-
Gil for several months, Ii still unde-
cided, and in all probability the pres
ent system will be continued.
The system now in vogue has
proved very satisfactory and the cost
Is not high, as compared with the
cost of the system proposed by the
company, which would install the
tungstens at flat rate of $3.50 each
per month. The present cost for
eSch incandescent light in the resi-
oence district is about 75c per month.
AT the meeting of the council last
thursday evening the following re-
Fort of the lights committee was read
and laid over until the next meeting.
when It will be discussed and vote
taken:
