The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1908-10-22

About Newport, Stevens
County, Washington
NO other place in the country
" offers opportunities as great
as in Stevens County, Wash
ington. There are opportuni-
ties here for the poor man to
secure a home. There are OPP
portunitieS for the wealthy to
double their money in few
years b. investing in ranch or
timber lands. Stevens county
contains 1854 square miles OF
territory, or over 1000, 900
acres of land. 1t is three times
the size of the State of Rhode
Island. The great industries Of
Stevens county are numbering,
farming, fruit growing and
mining. Newport is the gate
way to the Pend Oreille valley,
containing thousands of acres
of rich agricultural lands for di,
versified farming. Clover and
timothy grow abundantly the
average yield being i IL to )
tons per acre. Hay finds
ready market at SIS to SIS per
ton, thus a few crops will pay
for land selling at $50 to 500
per acre. What is grown in
the irrigated sections can more
easily be grown in the Newport
district where the rain is Suffi-
cient and comes at the right
time to insure crops. Land
around Newport can be bought
for one fourth what you would
pay in the irrigated sections and
in few years will be worth
more. We have soil that pro-
duces results. Here are some
examples: Strawberries 1000
to 5000 quarts per acre and
sell at toc to l5c per quart; po-
tatoes 100 to 800 bushels per
acre, sell at 75c to s. per cwt.;
oats oo'to So bushels per acre,
sell at $50 to $1.75 per cwt.;
Wheat 20 to 40 bushels per
acre, sell at S1.o5 to So per
cwt. Fruit raising is rapidly
coming to the front. Thousands
of acres in Stevens county have
been planted to orchards. Some
have already made money on a
few acres of apples. All small
fruits and vegetables do exceed
ingly we'll and there is a home
market at good prices for every
thing raised. Crop failures are
unknown in this country. These
facts are worthy of your thought
and consideration and should
prove an incentive to those
wishing sure and profitable
living. We have owned, titled
and worked enough land in this
section to talk automatically on
the subject and we say good
soil here will make you money.
We have good ground to sell
that will make money, unim-
proved tracts at $to, S12.5o,
SIS and $50 per acre. Inn
proved from $40 upward, all
two to ten miles from Newport.
We have 1, 5 or 1o-acre fruit
and garden tracts near town at
low prices and on easy terms.
We have several good buys on
our list. If in the market call
or write for complete informa-
ton if you want town property,
ranches, hay or timber land.
/ We are the pioneers in the real
estate business. We can save
you money and can make you
money.

SIX PERSONS IN
CRASH OF AUTOS


NonEtnueo from rage oheJ
care, went to their home at 914 West
Seventeenth street.
When Mrs. Crawford was found by
the officer she made the statement
that she was on experienced driver OF
motor cars and that when in the Jen-
nings machine she had merely run the
machine I'D and Down Grand avenue
within the limits of Seventh and Tenth
streets and that at no time was she
going at a greater speed than twelve
miles an hour.
She denied that she had struck child
on any of her trips up the street and
claimed that the accident with the
Clark machine was entirely the fault OF
the young man who was driving 1t, that
he was on the south side of the street,
which is the wrong side for westbound
vehicles, and that 1t was being driven
at at least twenty miles an hour
Adding to her statement, Mrs. Craw-
ford said that as soon as she saw the
Clark machine she swerved to the right
t. attempt to miss It and applied her
brake, at the same time shutting off the
engine.
She claimed that she struck the rear
of the Clark machine instead OF the
forward end and that If her machine
had been running at anything like the
speed claimed for it by witnesses It
would have overturned as soon as 1T
struck the other machine.
Young Christofferson was found at
his room at 1912 South Olive street IN
q state of panic from fear. He was
unable to make any clear statement OF
the accident

JAPAN'S NAVY STRONGER
THAN BEFORE LATE WAR
BY Associated Press.

a
TOXIC, March S.-Some reliable
figures are now to hand showing the
present strength of the Japanese navy,
C impaired with its strength when the
war broke out. Details are appended
but the totals may be briefly stated,
viz:
One hundred and fifty-seven vessels
of all descriptions, representing a tom
mage of 2S2,242 tons before the war and
sO4 vessels and 515,OS2 tons at the
present day. Further scrutiny of the
figures shows that japan today pos
sesses more than twice the number of
battleships she had before the war, a
tn I'd as many armored cruisers, three
more other cruisers, nearly three times
as many destroyers, but three fewer
torpedo boats.
Her naval losses during the war in
cluded two battleships. the Hatsuse
and Yashima; eight cruisers, the Ia
kashgo, Yorshino, Saiyom Miyako
Heiyen Atago, Oshima and Kaimon;
two destroyers, the Akatsuki and Hay
ators; seven torpedo boats, or total
of nineteen vessels and 46,616 tons.
On the other hand, as against the
two battleships torpoeded by the Rus
SLAMS, the Japanese Dagged at Port
Arthur and in the battle of the Japan
sec five battleships, representing g.
SPA tons, j. e., the Orel, now naned the
Iwami the Peresviet (Sagan)r Pol
taya (Tango), Retvitsan (Hizen) and
Pohieda (Sue). In addition there were
taken eleven unarnored cruisers 71,-
276 tone), five destroyers Q740 tons),
total of twenty-one vessels, represent
ing 1850 tons. Thus the net gain
without further building on Japans
Dart is seen to be two in number and
IS, 1924 in tonnage, the discrepancy be-
tween these divisions being due to the
fact that Japan's chief gains were in
battleships and cruisers
Critics of the expansion program ask
naturally why, in the face of these
figures, which indicate an advance of
fully 80 per cent, which include new
construction, the government should
persist i'll making appropriations for
the army and navy more than SO per
cent of the national expenditure for the
next fiscal year.
Leading fiuanciers and business men
do not hesitate to point out that so
long as the above disparity is main
tained the country must expect to invite
foreign distrust, while forthcoming at
tempts TO negotiate a new loan are
likely to encounter no small opposition,
and even if successful viii prove so
only at the cost of a sacrifice of pres
tige IN the shape of some form Of
hypothecation.

JAPANESE ARE CONSIDERED
HIGH HANDED BY FRENCH

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, March S.-The French press
despite the Franco-Japanese entente
considers that the Japanese govern
ment has been brusque, and even high
handed in it's deliberations with China
over the matter of the seizure of the
Tatsu Maru.
The Temps in an editorial points out
that there has been extensive snug
Cling of arms to south China, where
there is q widespread revolutionary
agitation. the chief instigators of
which are students who have returned
from Japan. and there is much anx-
iety over parts of China.
Japan is playing the. role of guard
ian of China" says the Temps. but
with more sternness than benevolence.
Incidentally Japan is incapable of pur-
suing a disinterested policy. If she
really desires the reawakening to ed
ucation of China, it is so much for her
own profit The Pekin government
cannot fail to see this, and the re-
sulting frictions will not improve the
Chino-Japanese relations BY perse-
vering in a too-selfish and abrupt pol
icy Japan risks the danger of disquiet-
ing Europe and arousing more hatred
than gratitude in China

EXPLOSIONS
CAUSE LOSS
TWO BURNED WHILE ENTERING
BLAZING BUILDINGS
Escaping Gas from Stove Fills House
and Explodes--owner Is injured
Trying to Save tho
Contents

A gas explosion in the kitchen of
the residence of w. 8. Church at 1886
South Figueroa street at tbs o'clock
last night caused a fire which prac-
tically destroyed the building and more
than one-half the contents. The loss
is placed at $780,
The building, which was nine
room cottage, is owned by Charles
Charlesboy and is leased to Mr..
Church. Last evening during the alb
sence from home of his wife Church
lighted gas stove in the kitchen and
made coffee for his supper When he
had finished he turned off the gas, as
he supposed, and left the house for. a
few minutes on an errand to a nearby
grocery store.
Ten minutes after Church left the
house H. S. Sinclare and c. B. Riley,
who room in the house, heard an ex-
plosion which shook the building, and
Sinclare ran to the rear to be met by
a burst of flame from the kitchen. The
whole of the interior of the room
seemed 10 be on fire and Sinclare ran
to the street and turned in an alarm.
As he ran out of the house Church
returned and with the help of Riley
began moving furniture and clothing.
They had made several trips but were
driven from the rear of sthe place by
the rapid spread of the flames.

Church, however, made another at
tempt to get into a, closet in q bed

was caught by the fire and all his
hair was singed from his head and
his scalp, face and hands painfully

the building and destroyed four rooms
In the rear with nearly all of the
contents. After the firemen arrived
the fire was quickly extinguished.
Assistant Chief O'Donneil of the fire
department estimates the loss on the
building at $1,000 and Church stated
that his furniture was valued at $1,000
and his loss would be fully $500. He
carries 500 insurance.
S. r. Walters of 1907 Broot'vn ave
nue. was painfully burned about the
hands and face at his residence last
evening while he was trying to secure
kitchen in which there was a fire
caused by the explosion of gasoline
stove.
Mr.. Walters owns the residence, but
rents a portion of il to Mrs Emma
Phelps. an aged widow. 1t was while
Mrs. Phelps was cooking her supper
the explosion occurred. She was not
near the stove at the time and was
not injured.
She ran from the house, however.
and then remembered she had left her
pocketbook on the kitchen table Wal
tiers entered the house to secure 1t for
her and In so doing was burned. His
injuries are only painful.
The fire was extineuished with a loss
of only SIS to the building and $50 to
the contents.
