HAD A PLEASANT TRIP
New Railroad Brings Many Wis
itors to Newport.
Hearty Greeting and Sleighride

Last Saturday President Blackwell, OF
the Idaho & Washington Northern Rail
road entertained party Of nearly 2Oo
Spokane business and railroad men with
a trip over his new line of railroad from
Spokane to Newport and return. The
party was joined EN- route by a large
number of representative business men
from Coeur d'Alene, Rathdrum and
Spirit Lake.
The train which conveyed the party
consisted of three coaches and baggage
car of the company's swell new equip
ment pulled by one of the fast new Bald
win passenger engines. 1t arrived here
promptly at IL a. M, and was met at the
depot by large crowd of business men
men of Newport and the Newport band
sounded out musical welcome. The
visitors were given hearty glad hand
and invited to participate in sleigh
ride about the city as guests of the Com
mercial Club. Five sleigh loads of the
visitors were thus conveyed about the
city and given a good idea of Newpert's
location and business industries. Many
expressions of surprise and pleasure
were heard from the visitors, as they
viewed the many changes that have
been made in this city in the past year,
and Newport was given valuable bit of
advertising. Many of the Spokane men
were given their first view of the city,
and left Newport we'll impressed with
it's activity and go-ahead spirit. and with
the determination to return and better
acquaint themselves with the natural
resources of this section.
The train left Newport on the return
trip at II: As, the party having been
augmented by the addition Of about 20
of Newport's business men. At 1890
Spirit Lake was reached, where a sub
stantial luncheon was served at the
company's boarding camp, and the way
the crowd enjoyed the meal set before
them was deserved tribute to the
hospitality of the company. After
luncheon the party dispersed to view the
work that is being done by the company
in building a model town where there
was nothing but deserted wilderness
three months before.
The party re-assembled at the depot
at 2:30 and made known their apprecia-
ton of the entertainment accorded them

Near Death From Drink and Exposure

An unknown man was found lying on
the Great Northern right of way in the
eastern part of the city at an early hour
Tuesday morning When discovered he
was insensible and word was sent to the
authorities here and he was removed to
the local Jail, where it was noticed that
he was suffering from acute alcoholism.
Efforts to establish his identity proved
futile. But for his timely discovery he
might have frozen to DEATH When
found his body was stiff from the cold.
At present he is being cared for in the
local Jail, and efforts are being made to
find his relatives.

Additional Passenger Service On
|. s. w. N. Road.
Started Thursday, January Both

Beginning today, Jan. 30th, the fol-
lowing new time card goes into effect on
the Idaho & Washington Northern rail-
road which will give very satisfactory
passenger service from Newport to Spo-
kane and intermediate points. The new
schedule provides for two trains per day
each way between Newport and Spo-
kane and three trains per day between
Newport and Spirit Lake.
A solid vestibuled train with the new
equipment leaves Spirit Lake at 6 80 a.
M, arriving at Newport at 7 40. Leaves
Newport at a. m. tor Spokane arriving
at>that city at 1910; laying over at Spo-
kane until 20 p. m. when it leaves for
Newport arriving here at $50 p. M.
leaves Newport at $40 for Spirit Lake
where it lays over night.
A through coach on the new equip
ment leaves Spokane at 200 a. m. at
tached to the Spokane International
train and arrives at Newport at 920 a.
M, laying over here until 5: 40 when it
leaves for Spokane arriving in that city
at 80 p. IN. On the train coming out
from Spokane, breakfast is served on
the cafe car and going into Spokane in
the evening, supper is served All
trains 60 in over the Spokane Inter
national using the o. R. & N. depot.
This arrangement gives this section a
double daily train service which will en-
able the travelling public to reach any of
the points along the line and return the
same day. The trains are the finest
safe and a strong bid is made for the pa
tronage of the public which will doubt
less meet with success

Ihe eastern gentlemen happened to be
In Spokane on their way to the coast
and were invited to join the excursion.
They were very highly impressed with
all they saw, and did not hesitate to
pronounce the equipment to be of the
very finest, and the roadbed equal to
that of any transcontinental road. The
trip was full Gf pleasure to them, and
they carried away the highest ideas of
the future commercialimportance of the
new territory.

1t is reported on good authority that
there will be things doing in the New
port mining district the coming sum-
mer~and that the Metalines will not be
the only mining camp in this section
to receive attention. 1t is said that the
Conquest will be operated with vigor,
that concentrator will be erected on
the river bank and that tram way will
be built to carry the ore to the concen-
traitor, a distance of about two miles
and half. The plans for the improve
ments have been completed and work
will be started soon. With a prospect
of railway service along the east bank OF
the river new life is being injected into
the mining enterprises fin that vicinity
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1908-01-30

For the purpose of showing the growth
of the business of the town during the
short period from 1901 to date. the fol-
lowing figures are given for comparison:
Freight shipments out of Newport
during 1907 aggregated 127, ,632, ,S99
pounds, and freight receipts were a.
839, ,942 pounds. There were 298 carload
shipments received and 1,761 forwarded.
In 1901 there were received 3,298, 700
pounds and forwarded 9.3l8, 800 pounds.
Carload shipments in 1901 we're 81 re-
ceived and 246 forwarded.
There is no better business barometer
than the record of freight receipts and
shipments. Every year during the past
six there has been steady increase in
the amount of business done out of this
station, and every indication points to
still greater increase during the coming
year, provided Of course that business
conditions in the east resume their nor
NAL condition. Newport has steadily
forged to the front and there are but
few stations along the 1900 miles be-
tween st. Paul and Spokane that can
show anywhere near the amount of bus
iness that our town does. With. the
further development that is sure to
come to our town and tributary terri
tory, Newport's commercial importance
will continue to grow.
In addition to the business of the
Great Northern the Idaho & Washing
ton Northern Railroad did good freight
business out of Newport beginning Nov.
25th, the figures of which would add
materially to the grand total.
Local freight shipments from jobbing
centers are not included in the list of
carload shipments but are included
in the grand total of pounds received.
