PROTECT DEP0SIT0RS
Stockholders of State Bank Will
Guarantee Against Loss
Ask Moderation in Demands

The stockholders of the First State
Bank of Newport are signing up guar
ontee securing the depositors from loss
of anv portion of their money on de-
nost. with the understanding that the
depositors give the bank a reasonable
Time in which to collect its loans and
continue the banking business in the
usual manner.
The large depositors will be asked to
SIGN an agreement to give the bank an
opportunity to make it's collections and
continue business. This last suggestion
came from one of the largest depositors
and will be carried out
IN times like these collections are slow
and to foreclose mortgages, sue on notes
and distress borrowers who have ample
means to pay their debts when they can
market their products is not considered
a wise plan by the directors OF the bank
if if is to continue in business.
The stockholders of the bank are do
inc what they can to relieve the fnan-
cial stringency which affects this section
as we'll as all other parts of the country.
The community should do its share
toward relieving the strain under which
the banks are at present doing business.
The request of the stockholders is rea-
sonable, and its customers and the COM
munity in general should do their part
toward bringing about satisfactory re-
adjustment of business conditions to the
profit and we'll being of all.

Forest Reserve Gets Roads and Telephones

Acting Supervisor r. L. Fromme, Of
the Priest River national forest, in
Idaho, has just been authorized to begin
the construction of more than 138 miles
of trails in his forest at cost of 5000.
This amount is additional to the allot-
ment to cover the purchase of two gaso-
line launches to be furnished for fire
patrol and ferrying on the lakes in the
Priest River forest, and the money for
the construction of rs miles of telephone
lines to be built between Newport and
Priest lake.
This extensive system of new trails
will assist in opening up many square
miles of country now locked up and
inaccessible to settlers and users of the
forest, and will facilitate the work OF
protecting many valuable stands of
timber from destructive forest fires.
Many old trials in the forest made by
trappers and Indians have been impas-
sable for years by reason OF dead and
down timber. These will be put in
shape for travel Iii all cases where the
route which they mark is considered
better than any other which can be laid
out.
Among the trails to be constructed is
one from Hagman's ranch to Newport,
a distance OF eight miles and several in
the vicinity Of Sullivan lake and LIE Clerc
Greek.
This improvement work by the forest
service will begin Immediately and will
be completed before summer of next
year.

CAN USE IT'S TRACK
Injunction Against New Road
Suspended During Appeal
Beginning of Freight Service

The suit of III. NJ Lund VS.. the new
railway, held at Colville, terminated
Wednesday morning. Judge Chapman
of Tacoma, exchanged benches with
Judge Carey, of this county, and heard
the case. Numerous witnesses were
present from this city, and the city clerk
was called upon to bring the records Of
the city covering the granting of the
franchise. At the hearing local real
estate men testified that Mr.. Iund' S
property was formerly worth SIS, 900,
but had deprecated in value 60 per cent
on account of the nearness of the new
railroads tracks. Judge Chapman rem
dered decision sustaining the granting
of the injunction, but suspended the in
junction pending an appeal to the SUI
preme court of the state.
AS reported in The MINER last week
the Idaho & Washington Northern Rail
way will accept freight for Newport be,
ginning Saturday, the 23rd, and will
handle freight out Of Newport beginning
Nov. 25th. Agent Gibbs has the freight
tariffs on file at the depot, where the
same may be inspected by shippers.
The old Phillips barber shop has been
fixed up for depot, and platform will
be built on the south side of it. 1t will
doubtless be the only depot to be built
at Newport until spring, when the hand
some new depot which is promised our
city will be erected.
During the past week the steam shovel
has been digging deep cut to bring the
tracks down to grade. The shovel is
about to start on second trip through
the cut to lower the grade still further.
and at the west end of the cut will go
ten feet deeper A side track has been
built across block Is and Washington
avenue.

He says that the weather seriously in.
terferes with his exercise, and he will
not resume practice until spring comes
with her balmy breezes.
Work on the g-looked-for sidewalk
was started on Tuesday and before night
500 feet of the improvement had been
laid despite the weather conditions. AS
| much more was completed on Wednes-
day, and by Saturday night the entire
walk will be completed from the state
line on Pine street to the roadway lead
ing to the docks of the navigation COM
pany. There remains about 900 feet of
walk to be laid by the authorities on the
Washington side to complete walk
from the Great Northern dept to the
docks, and it is hoped that.the mer-
chants and interested parties in the new
town will have the same constructed be-
fore the winter season has set in perma-
nently. The walk will be great i'm
provement.
"Dr." Carter and wife departed from
old town on Monday, going towards
Spokane. They shook the dust of idaho
from their feet none too quickly as Sheriff
Doust has been on their trail for several
days and arrived shortly after their de-
parture. The sheriff wanted the pair.
and wanted them badly. He had Just
missed them at LaClede, was few min
utes late at Priest River and several
hours behind at Newport. 1t appears
that the sheriff does not have very high
regard for the doctor, and is bent on
keeping him out of Idaho, and is willing
that he may remain in Washington, al
though he might be glad to have him as
boarder at his Standpoint hotel. Ac-
cording to report the doctor and his
helpmate have been stopping at various
Bonner county hotels of late and have
failed TO interview the clerks when
leaving, as is customary with the gen.
eral public. The doctor claimed when
in Newport that the financial stringency
bothered his schemes considerably, but
that as soon as times improved he would
again be rolling in wealth, and that he
would then reimburs all, but the Idaho
people think that they have seen the
last of the "physicker."
Two men giving their names as
Holmes and Liebig were arrested by our
constable after going to press last week,
on a charge of vagrancy. Liebig was
tried before Judge McCurdy and found
guilty and fined $l5 and costs OF suit,
which amounted to aboutas much more.
After being in custody over night and a
portion of the next day his fine was paid
by woman friend, and he was given
his liberty and still resides In the old
town. Holmes was tried before the
same judge, but the charge against him
was not sustained. He proved to the
satisfaction of the judge that he was
travelling man out on time. Witnesses
were brought from the new town, who
swore that he had been a regular guest
during the summer at the Antler Hotel,
and had even stopped there portion of
the time during his visit to Newport this
month. These are the first cases tried
in cid town for some time, and they at
tracted great deal of interest on that
account, as well as on account of the
popularity of the charges placed against
the prisoners. VIM. Vane acted as
prosecutor, while Attorney Sherlock
appeared for the defendants
