Contracts on Dams at Hand First of a series of construction contracts the city of Tacoma must authorize in its $146,000,000 Cow- lite river hydro installation in central Lewis county is due by October, Dean Barline, Tacoma utilities director, told Centralia Rotary club members Tuesday. The Tacoman, key man in the vast power project, appeared at the Rotarians' regular luncheon at the Lewis-Clark hotel. Action Is Outlined An outline 1 of the action schedul- id in the project was provided by Barline, who said that not until the first of the year will any contracts be granted on the actual building of the first of two dams. The first is at Mayfield, and the second to be built is near Mossyrock.

At present, the utilities leader said, Tacoma is preparing to order turbines and generators for the steadily. The latest count was 097 to 165,209. The Rosellini-Ott vote was almost strictly on east side-west side lines. Kittitas was the only east side county to go to Rosellini, the Pierce county judge and Democratic legislator. Wahkiakum was the only west side county to go to Ott, and It was by only 10 votes.

There appeared virtually no chance of Judge Ott catching up in the remaining precincts. A clear majority will mean Rosellini'g name will be the only one on the November ballot for the seat vacated by Judge Thomas Grady of Yakima. Rosellini piled up his widest margin in his home county, which gave him 36,345 to 9,777, with only a few precincts missing. Rosellini also had a margin ot more than 5,000 in King County 4.4QO in Kitsap, 4,000 In tophornlsh and nearly 2,000 in' Clark and Grays Harbor.

His home county, Adams, gave him i to Rosellinl's 321. The tabulation shortly before noon showed a total vote of 219,840 for Republicans in the congressional races In the six districts and 171,814 for Democrats. On the other side of the party ledger, Democrat Magnuson had 221,875 to the 167,359 total of the four Republican candidates. Only two of the present con- rressmen had opposition in the primaries and neither of the chal- engers polled significant totals.
