FOREST FIRES CHECKED
Estimate of Loss in the Big Fire
Down the River
Standpoint Threatened by Fires

The long -looked-for soaking rains
which came this morning, were giaoly
welcomed by owners of timber IN the
neigh borhood of the big fires which have
been burning throughout the country.
The fire fighters have been making
strenuous efforts to check the flames ana
were making slow progress until the
rain came.
Deputy State Fire Warden Kerr re-
turned to Colyille the first OF the week
from the scene of the big fire down the
river (Which has been burning from the
the headwaters of Tacoma creek to the
Little Pend Oreille lakes. Mr. Kerr
has had over a hundred men at work for
two weeks or more, and has cleaned and
slashed the underbrush in strips fifty
feet wide covering a distance OF more
than fifteen miles. The fire was we'll
checked by Sunday, and Mr.. Kerr lett
for the other side of the range east OF
Colville, where another fire has been
doing much damage.
Mr.. Kerr estimates that close onto
Is, 900 900 feet of timber has been de-
stroyed east of the range, and about
so 900 900 feet on the west side. Now
that the rain has come it is likely that
there will be little further spread Of the
| flames.
The damage from the fire south OF
town has been mostly in the loss of cord
wood on logged-off lands. Not much
damage has been done to standing TIM
ber. The Panhandle and Humbird
companies and the Idaho fire wardens
have employed large force of men, and
had the fire practically out before the
rain came,
Dangerous fires in the vicinity OF
| Standpoint have caused good deal Of
alarm in our sister city, and. for time
on Tuesday night it looked as if the
Fernie disaster night be repeated there.
| The ti.e came within short distance OF
the town.. and sparks carried by the
| wind threatened to start general con
| fagration. A steamer was sent from
Spokane to aid in the fight and the town
escaped. However, there was big loss
in the neigh borhood of Kootenai and
one death, that of fire fighter who was
caught by falling tree and had to be
left to his fate

developed by open surface work, the
entire property being heavily mineral
lied with galena. The Hallidie Machln-
erp Co. has the contract for the install
laton of an aerial tramway 24OO feet In

The Parker Mountain Mining Co. has
three patented claims on Parker noun
tain, 80 miles from Newport on the
Pend Oreille river. One shaft is down
1875 feet. There is 1O0-fOOt crosscut
tunnel from which a winZe was sunk 10
feet. Seventy-five tons of ore from this
tunnel is now on the dump. No. tun-
mel is to be driven at depth of 100 feet.
No. 2 tunnel is in 800 feet in ore and
has depth of 500 feet. The width OF
the ore body averages . feet and the

and silver. No. 3 tunnel is in go feet
and has depth of 700 feet. 1t will be
driven to 800 feet to the ledge under the
shaft, with which it will be connected
by means of an upraise. The ore value
in No. 8 tunnel averages $26 to the ton
and is increasing with depth. The
property is equipped with two bunk
houses, blacksmith shop and cook house.
There are excellent steamboat transpor-
tation facilities. The proposed railroad
to Metaline will be but one-half mile

connected by an aerial tramway. The
company is capitalized for 5000, 900.

Commercial Club Meeting

A meeting of the Commercial Club
was held Monday evening at the rooms
of the club. The matter of the sidewalk
to Old Town, which has been hanging
fire since last winter, was discussed, and
the committee, A. M. Harris, DR.. Suth-
erland and M. M. Sammons, was in
structed to make an effort to get the
work completed at an early date.
The question of erecting large sign
where it could be seen from the Great
Northern and I. & w. N. trains, bearing
the name of our town and matter indi-
eating its resources, met with the hearty
approval of those present, and on motion
President McMorran appointed COM
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Wolf,
Jones and Gibbs, to provide such sign,
empowering the committee to look after
all details in connection with the matter.
President McMorran rendered his
resignation as president of the club.
Mr.. McMorran has worked faithfully in
the interests of the town and club, and
resigned only because his business ac-
tivities will be in another field for
year or more. He does not anticipate
leaving Newport, but realizing that he
must be away good deal of the time.
felt it best to resign. His resignation
was accepted with reluctance. The
matter of selecting his successor was
left over until the next meeting.
The ferry matter was not brought up,
as the gentlemen who had suggestion
to make along that line were unavoid-
ably absent.

street Lights Out

Since last Thursday Newport has had
no street lights, the Northern Electric
Co. having cut the connections on &C
count of the refusal of the city council
to pay for service rendered during the
months of June and July. The council
insists on all night service and cut the
bill rendered for the months because
the lights were extinguished at mid
night.
There seems to be no Immediate pros
pect of settlement of the controversy
the town authorities and the light COM
pany. In the meantime the streets are
left unlighted, inviting the visits and
depredatlons of the tough element that
always drifts along a main line of rail
road.

Another Spokane Team Our Victims


Last Sunday a Spokane ball team
labelled the Independents came to New
port to try conclusions on the diamond
with our boys, and were taken into camp
by a score of Is to 9. Rosy was invinci-
BILE, and the only reason the Spokane
fellows got SC. many scores was because
their playing was so listless our bows
did not keep gingered up.
Next Sunday the fast Hazelwood team
will be here. The Hazelwoods are the
only Spokane team that has defeated
Newport this year, and the boys are
dead anxious to even up the score. The
game will be we'll worth seeing and it is
hoped a good crowd will turn out.

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS
DOan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work in

Most Americas people work every
day in some strained, unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over desk
riding on jolting. wagons or cars
doing laborious homework; lifting,
reaching or pulling, or trying the back
in a hundred and one other ways. All
these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of tiltering the
poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new
strength in bad backs.

beautifully slender, but neither exer-

Here is her advice to her Ameri-

quickly take off pound or so of fat
day and keep it off as desired:
Take a teaspoonfuI after meals and
at bedtime of this simple trio of
home remedies: IL ounce Marmola
IL ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aro-
matte and - ounces Syrup Simplex.
These articles cost little, may be OBJ
tanned at any drug store, and can be
mixed at home by any one.
