quickly realizing the possibilities Of
quick service thus afforded, and the new
road is assured of large business out of
here
Mr. Blackwell and his associates have
built this road without asking a particle
of aid from any of the towns along the
the road. They have been liberal in
their treatment Of property owners along
it's route and have made prompt settle
ments with all whenever possible. The
coming of the new road is the greatest
thing that has happened in the history
of this city, and in affording compet-
ing line of transportation insures our
city better service and an opportunity
to grow. The building of the down river
line will greatly aid the building up of
that vast territory, and will without
question greatly increase the business
Importance and wealth of our city.
Notwithstanding the many difficulties
which have attended the building of the
Idaho & Washington Northern into our
city, the new railroad seems to have
none but the best of feelings for New
port. and all its advertising matter does
full justice to its business interests, and
evidences desire to build up and make
Newport one of the coming cities of the
northwest. The town should rally to
the support of the new road and CO.
operate with it in the work of develop
ing this section.
The new road is bringing It's passenger
and freight trains in on time to the
minute. It is picking up nice passen-
ger business and freight traffic is also

Monday, November 25th, was a not
able date in the history of Newport. On
that dav the Idaho & Washington North
prn Railroad ran its first passenger train
into this city, and also inaugurated daily
freight service in and out of this station.
The first train arrived promptly on time
at 9:20 a. M, and brought to. this city
number of passengers and also R. F.
Blackwell, vice-president and general
manager of the road and number Of
guests. Among the latter were: Waldo
G. Paine, general passenger agent OF the
Inland Empire electric system; J. H.
E.othrop, general freight agent of the
Inland Empire; Arthur D. Jones, a
prominent real estate man of Spokane,
nd DR.. &. T. Doolittle, of Spokane, who
will be chief surgeon for the I. & W. n.
The train was met at the depot by a
large number of Newport citizens and a
delegation from the Commercial Club,
which was on hand to extend welcome
to our city to Mr.. Blackwell and his
guests. The visitors were taken about
the city and show n the numerous points
of interest and industry. An informal
luncheon was rendered the party by the
Commercial Club at the Antler Hotel,
at which an opportunity was afforded for
getting acquainted and in touch with
the business men OF Newport. The
party left for Spirit Lake on the regular
II o'clock freight. which also made its
first trip out of Newport on that day.
There are six stations on the main
line of the new railroad between New
port and Grand Junction, the distances
from Newport being as follows: Penrith,
miles; Tweedie, S.94 miles; Blanchard,
14.6l miles; Coleman, 1S.45 miles; Spirit
Lake, 22.l6 miles; Fish Lake, 33. "A
miles; Rathdrum, 1927 miles; Grand
Junction on the Spokane International
Railway, 42.99 miles. Grand Junction
is 20 miles from Spokane.

from Spokane is one that could scarcely

Because am going to assume that
Sassacus is as sincere and earnest in
his desire for a public library build
Ing as am, or as Is the venerable in
dividual to whom he so gently and
kindly alludes; and that being the
case all that could possibly result
from such course would be simply
divided opinion as to what we
should do, ending in all probability
in an open Quarrel among the advo-
Gates of common cause, and no
building anywhere.
Let me give some of my reasons
for thinking so. l have been here
a long time and i know this people
and can we'll remember some of the
results of divided opinion in the
past. A great many years ago we
were going to build monument, we
even formed an association for the
purpose and had obtained signers for
several hundred dollars with which
to pay for 1t. Then we got into a
wrangle over an inscription and five
years afterwards i, as treasurer of
the fund, returned to the original
donor the one subscription actually
paid into my hands.
Again, the present movement for
a library building is the elimination
of several that from similar causes
have failed in years gone by. Four
or five wears since some enthusiastic
ladies undertook to collect money
through subscription for this same
purpose. 1t was to be memorial

building, can't you unite with u ON
the only plan now practicable? I'VE
are, by common consent, agreed that
such . building is required, and
those Of us who have been. familiar
with the facts know that it has been
badly needed yor years. We can
afford 1t. The country IL prosperous
and this community Is one Of the
wealthiest In the state. The larger
share Of US who have long been here
acquired whatever we..posssss OF this
worlds goods In this city or in its
vicinity. And all of US .owe It to
ourselves, to the place that has pros
pered us, and to those who shall
come after US that we leave things
better than we found them when we
settled in a desert land. Come now,
for once. let US lay aside our little
differences, stop our Quibbling and
accomplish something for the COM
mon good. We are going to put up
this building; we are going to do it
by popular subscription. We shall
call upon every man and woman of
you to contribute according to your
means to accomplish the object, and
you are going to do 1t.
Very respectfully submitted,

MARRIED q YEARS
Rev. and Mrs. Van Valkenburg
to Celebrate Event

Tomorrow, March /, will be the
sixty-fourth wedding anniversary of
Rev. and Mrs. r. ]. Van Valken-
burg of sl3 Fourth street.
Rev. Van Valkenhburg and wife
we're both born in New York in the
year 1923, being now over 83 years of
age. They attended school together
and when IA years old they de-
cided to be married though they
waited until they were 10.
Mr.. Van Valkenburg was a Metho-
dist minister, being licensed to
preach in 1s45. He was a strong
preacher and when young was noted
for two things. He was the best
singer in the conference of 125 min
listers and he drove the best horse.
He preached at the largest appoint
ments in the conference. During
the Civil war after preaching SER
mon one Sunday morning In Mont
rose, Penn, where he was located,
he organized a company of 120 men
and marched away before night in
answer to a telegram calling for more
men. He was captain of the COM
pany and later was chaplain with
Sherman. After the war he was
broken in health and came to Colo
RADIO in 1865, his wife following a
year later.
The first four years they spent In
the mountains where Rev. Van
fvalkenhusg preached at Central City
and Black Hawk. In l869-7O he
preached at Boulder and Burlington
Circuit and in 1871 he preached the
first sermon in Longmont and later
organized the l. o. o. f. and Ma
sonic lodges at that place.
He has preached continuously at
various appointments until three
years ago when they came to Greeley
to spend their remaining days.
Since coming here Mr.. Van Valken-
burg has been called to Erie and vi.

services and weddings of former
parishioners.
March 1, 1893, the couple csle-
brated their golden wedding anniver-
sary in Erie with 600 guests present.
A special train from Denver brought
100 guests.
They have living three children,
Mrs. Edward G. Hughes of Golden,
Mrs. Joseph B. Powell Of Yampa,
Routt county, and Mrs. George A.
Rice of Boulder. The only son,
Gaylon, died at Lafayette, Colo, In
1896, leaving wife and several chill
dren. There are fourteen grand
children and eight great >grandchil-
dren.
Both Rev. Van Valkenburg and
his wife are remarkably we'll pre-
served for their years and are inter-
esting takers. They have COM

Big Sum on Roads.

The experiment station at Fort
Collins has issued leaflet giving the
cost Of the roads of the different
counties of the state for five years,
from 1900 to 1905, as far as informa-
tion could be obtained from county
officers. Only part of the counties
have given all of the data desired.
The expenditure In 1905 was nearly
half a million dollars for the coun-
ties reporting, which would indicate
q total of more than $500, 600 for the
state. This does not include the
amount spent by cities or towns or
individuals. but includes only the
amount spent upon county roads.

building.'' A few hundred dollars
we're easily obtained when we got to
quarreling over the specific plan in
connection with the object sought
and again we failed to accomplish
our design.
A promising young man Of my ac-
quaintance was not long since ex-
pressing to me his profound regret
that this community had so long
to honor the memory Of
our founder. AS / understood him
he considered 1t reproach to us
that we had not done SO. And yet
in the present instance, uninten-
tionally and unconsciously, he is
nevertheless helping to create simi-
lar differences Of opinion, which if
he persists In 50 using his influence
may quite possibly cause failure
now.
In the letter whichI am consider.
ing there is slighting allusion to
the proposed site iOf the building
and an effort to eubst another.
/ propose In = fair legitimate way to
consider these objections. First
1t is not centrally located. But as
to that we have the Normal school
clear over on the other side of our
city, and who Is now objecting to
that? 1t will be convenient to the
business portion Of the city and to
the high school whose students are
perhaps more to be considered than
all other patrons. The women pa.
tronize the library much above the
men, and quite usually they have
errands down town at the same time

A Plea for the Library.

Editor the Tribune: ! have read
with much interest a short letter in
your columns of last week entitled
The Library Again. Towards the
close of that letter there is a COM
miserating reference to one Satiricus,
who, presumably on account of his
age, the writer was evidently dis.
posed to treat with some leniency.
Now it happens that l have more
than passing acquaintance with
both Sauiricus and Sasssacus. And
knowing their abilities In the Pc
culiar line indicated by the sigma
lures under which they elect to
write. | haven't a doubt that II
they finally decided to engage in a
wordy conflict over the matter they
could contribute at once to the gay
ely of the people and furnish a
spectacle for the gods. / have the
reputation, l believe, for some little
talent in that direction myself.
And yet l should not only deprecate
anything Of the kind between the
