The sMertz Magazine" for May,

a picture of Philip S. Bates, editor
of the Pacific North vest of Port
land, and pictures also of a number

won the trip by securing subscrip-
tions to his paper. The picture of
Miss Aida Metcalf, the successful
contestant for Benton, does not p
pear. The write-up in "Msrtz"
states that the party left Portland,
May 1st, but Miss Metcalf has not
recsived wo d to come, although the
girls Wee noiti-d that the date for
departure had been postponed until
the 10Th. Mr.. Bates has ali along
found much fault because Miss Met
cslf's subscriptions did not amount
t. as much as the expense of her
trip East, and he wished her to
make up the remainder of the sum
or get the Citizens Lea ,ue to make
it up for her. AS this Was lot stip-
ulated in the original agreement,
Miss Metcalf has rightly refused to
do more than she had bargained to
do, and whether Mr.. Bates intends
leaving her out of the party because
of this, is a question that has been
much discussed this week by her
friends, and those of the League
who are familiar with the case from
the beginning.

Peoples Progressive Party.

A new municipal party was born in
Newport Wednesday night. Owing to
the fact that there we're two caucuses
held last week, and both sides offering
to file certificates of nomination under
the same name, the city clerk could
accept but one, and it was necessary that
second caucus be held by the party
which last offered to file papers. Pur-
suant to call mass meeting was held
Wednesday evening at the Office of Judge
D. R. Lusher, over which Mr.. Lusher
presided as chairman and B. M. LeFevre
as secretary. The following ticket,
under the name Of Peoples Progressive
Party, was placed in nomination, which
is the same as was put before the people
at the first caucus of last Thursday
evening:
Mayor-Lute Rowell.
Treasurer-Fred Phillips.
Councilmen for Two Years-Chas.
Pike and J.E. Williams.

Opening Of Basement.

A large congregation was in attend
ance at the opening exercises of the
Congregational church basement last
Sunday. Many people have spoken of
the interest and enjoyment that they
found in the songs and other exercises
of the children. Rev. John Percival, of
Spokane, Sunday school missionary for
Northeastern Washington. spoke early
day Sunday school work in Newport and
of the great influence Sunday school
work had had and was having upon the
country. Another very pleasant feature
of the service was the music by the
Kirkpatrick and King orchestra.
The offering made toward the fund
being raised for the completion of the
basement, amounting to $50.21, was
good considering the financial condition
of the country OF the $5O.21, $26. 6.9S
was given by the scholars of the Sunday
school. The amounts given by the re-
spective classes are as follows: Mrs.
Porter's 1912; Mrs. Halford's $3.50;
Miss Adeline Growers primary class,
$6.41; Mr.. Growers, $l.S5; Bible class,
46 cents. The school wishes to thank
the kind friends who aided them by their
presence and their offering.

Roosevelt and Cortelyou to the Rescue

President Roosevelt in public letter
has done much to allay public distrust
in the present crisis and to restore con-
fidence in the business prospects of the
country. The effect is already notice
able in the east. The president indi-
Gates that financial legislation will be
urged in his annual message to congress
and it is likely some measures calculated
to bring relief will be passed as soon as
possible after congress meets next
month.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Cortelyou- have issued $4,000, 900 in
Panama canal bonds and 500, 900 900 in
certificates of Indebtedness payable in
one year. These certificates are offered
to the general public and are being
taken up by timid investors. The gov
ernment then places the. cash in
circulation, and as most of it
has heretofore been boarded it
will have the effect to largely increase
the amount of money in circulation and
ease business conditions.
Secretary Cortelyou said in an inter-
view:
cit is time when every citizen should
assume his share of the burden. The
boarding of money, the exaction of un-
necessarily harsh requirements in busi-
ness dealings, retard our return to nor
NAL conditions. 1 believe that if this
money of the country, wherever boarded,
were at once put back to fulfill its func-
tions in the channels of trade, there
would be within "a hours an almost
complete resumption of business opera
