Several PuzzIing Questions Have
Been Submitted to Attorney Cen

Olympia, July 19.-The following
questions relating to the primary
election law were propounded to At
torney General W. V. Tanner today
by Secretary of State |. NJ Howell:
First, does the fact that the social
list party cast more than 10 per cent
of the vote for their candidates for
the supreme court in 1910 compel
them to come under the primary law
at the general election in 1912?
Second, if there are more than
four candidates for congress at large,
two to be elected, is the ballot to be
marked so as to compel the voter to
express a second choice?
Within short time the secretary
Of state will also ask. on behalf Of
county auditors who have to issue
instructions to election judges and
clerks. whether or not voter has
the right, where compelled to ex-
press second choice at. the primary
election, to write in the name of a
candidate whose name does not ap-
pear upon the ballot.

PULLMAN BOOSTERS BREAK
EVEN ON SEASONS GAMES
Six Games Won and Same Number Lost Dur
ing Season Just Closed Garlock Leads
in Both Batting and Fielding.

A summary of the games played
by the Pullman Boosters during the
season just closed shows that the
team has an even break, having won
six games and lost six out of the total
of an even dozen games played. The
team was composed entirely of Pull
man men, and when it is considered
that the teams met during the season
were as general rule composed of
paved players with a few local men
to give the team right to play
under the name of the town which
they represented, the record is a very
satisfactory one. Four games were
played with ColfaX, two of which
were won by that team by a one-run
margin, another by a score of 4 to /,
and one was won by Pullman by a
score of to 4. COlfaX in every case
used Spokane pitcher and from two
to four other professional ball toss
ers. The biggest score of the season
was that made against Moscow, when
the Boosters rolled up total of IS
scores and could have made more,
while the smallest score was in the
second game with ColfaX, when the
latter team won by score of , to /
in the tenth inning.
The score book shows change OF
at least two men in the lineup for
nearly every game played, Garlock
being the only man to play in every
game during the season. Garrison
and Muir played in 10 of the II
games played; Foran Moss and Cad
dis in nine; Kennedy in eight, Van

This Is particularly true as to the

10 the Mayor and City Council:
After having considered each
pavement with its respective bid. we
recommend as follows:
That the bid submitted by the
Federal Construction company on
light standard bithulithic, without
guaranty which calls for three and
one-half inch stone base and one and
one-half inch wearing surface, be ac-
cepted. The bid of the Federal Con
struction company on this pavement
is S1OO7 less than that submitted by
the Barber Asphalt Paving company.
their nearest competitor. We be-
lieye that the bid on this pavement
is as low as it is possible to get. in
Guiding the brick.
The fiye-inch pavement recon-
mended, in our opinion. is sufficient
and well adapted to the traffic CON
ditions in the two paving districts,
with the exception of the places
where brick is recommended BY
specifying three-inch crown and a
rough surface finish the pavement at
no place will be EXCEPTIONALLY slip
perry.
In making this recommendation
we have taken into consideration first
cost, maintenance and renewal cost.
Very respectfully,
EDWARDS & SNYDER,
Engineers.
The bid recommended by the city
engineers would make the cost of
the paving and Curbing in the State
street improvement district about
1920 for a 50-foot lot. This would
include a strip 10 feet wide of vitri-
fled brick on Main street and on Oh
son street between Grand and State
streets. which would give horses a
foot hold in slippery weather A
number of the property owners in
this district are protesting that the
cost is too high and favor cheaper
grade of paving.
In the College Hill improvement
district the cost would be about $2O5
for 50-foot lot, yitrified brick to be
used to full width of "a feet up the
hill from the N. p track past the

VACCINATIONS

Whenever you see great material
success on new line, you see
imagination without dreaming. 1t
took real power of imagination in
Rockefeller to conceive and execute
the construction of the Standard
Oil monopoly.
1t took the financial Imagination
of Morgan to conceive the idea of
taking S5OO,OOO,OOO worth of steel
mills and welding them into the
Steel Trust-no dreamer could
have done this thing.
Many a dreamer had forseen the
steam engine, the steamboat and
other great inventions, without re-
suit. At the right moment man
of imagination like Fulton came
along and did the actual work that
the dreamer could not do.
If you want to succeed in the
world, cultivate your imagination.
And if you want your children to
succeed encourage them in the de-
velopment of their imaginations.
But let your imaginings and the
imaginings of your children stop
this side of dreamland.
Your brains activity is divided
into the conscious and sub-con-
scious departments. The conscious
side OF your mentality puts you
into communication with the
world, enables you to meet and to
cope With conditions and individ-
uals.
Ii you are to succeed materially
the conscious mind must control.
direct and limit the activities of
the sub-conscious mind with which
the imagination does its work.
If your sub-conscious brain. in
the departments of abstract thought
imagination and dreaming, be al
lowed to run away with the prac-
tioal side, you may be very great
man in the far-distant future, but
you may be sure that you will not
succeed now.-Chicago American.
