News OF THE RIVER
Dredging Contractors Getting
Ready For Work
Str. Ruth Trial Trip Next Week

I c. +. Beckman, of Seattle, who has
the contract for dredging the river from
this port as far down as the appropria-
| ton will allow, has arrived and is now
bnslly engaged in fitting up one OF the
barges Of the Navigation Co. for the re.
ception OF the dredging machinery. Mr..
Beckman says that, with his centrifugal
pump dredging outfit, he expects to be
able to move 1000 cubic yards of dirt and
sand daily. The machinery is expected
to arrive about Oct. |, and the contrac-
tor says that he will start work not later
than Oct. Is. He will begin just below
Boundary island. The contract calls for
a channel 20 feet wide and six feet deep
at ordinary low water. This will fur
nlsh channel that will be greatly appre-
ciated by the steamboat men operating
on the river. At the present time the
boats have to run very slowly on some
stretches Of the river, because OF the
great number Of bars that are now in
evidence. Mr.. Beckman has been over
the route to be improved, and says that
he does not anticipate any serious diff
culties in completing the job. The
dredging outfit is one of Mr.. Beckman's
own inventions and has been operated
successfully for several years. He has
been engaged in this class of work for IA
years, and has dre,lged some OF the worst
streams in the northwest Among the
larger contracts that he has handled
was one on the Fraser river.
The Ruth will probably be tested as

two. Capt. Lanneau hopes to make a
trial trip with the boat early next week,

Preserving the Balance.

A we'll known professor Of architec-
E2re. commonly referred to as Ham
M" by his pupils. told a story Illus
srative OF the rema rkable degree to
which certain PERSONS possess the sense
Of symmetry.
1t seems that there was once
Scotch gardener who had charge of a
good sized English estate and under
whose direction the formal garden at
the rear had been laid out with abso-
lutte symmetry. even the two summer
houses, one Oh each side OF the garden,
being Identical In even the most minute
detail. On one occasion the English
man became angry at his son and
locked him up in one OF the summer
houses. AS soon as the Scotch garden
er heard of this his sense OF symmetry
was so outraged that he Immediately
sent for his own son and locked him
up in the other summer house to pre-
serve the balance ''Hammy" neglect
ed to mention whether both boys were
dressed exactly alike. but it is to be
presumed that even this detail was at
tended to by the aesthetic Scotchman.

SCHOOL BEGAN MONDAY
Enrolment Shows Increase in
Population of Town
Large Increase in Five Years

The Newport, Washington, schools
opened Monday for the terms OF 1908
1909, with an enrolment OF 2l1 pupils
The enrolment is distributed among the
different grades as follows: High
school. Is; eighth grade, 10; seventh
grade, IA; sixth grade, IA; fifth grade
%; fourth grade, 26; third grade, 10;
second grade, 2l first grade, A.. 1t is
anticipated that the enrolment will
reach at least $50 before the close Of the
first term, and in that event the school
house viii be very much crowded to &C.
eommodate them
Five years ago the Newport schools
had only about 80 pupils, with but one
teacher. Now there is modernly
school house, with teachers and the
superintendent. In addit ion there are
10 pupils enrolled at the Newport, Idaho,
school house, the capacity Of which has
been doubled this summer by the cree
ton OF additions. Miss Nellie Miller
anu MISS Lee Smith are teachers at the
Idaho school house
There is no better way to Judge OF the
growth of town than by its increase of
enrolment in the public schools. The
ratio OF school children to population is
small in Newport, as it is in all new
towns, and the growth in enrolment is
an evidence of steady growth.
Miss Fulton, OF Spokane, has been
selected by the school board to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
Miss Lora Lamb, and was here Monday
to take up the work She will teach the
eighth grade and English in the High
school. Miss Fulton is graduate of

Postage Stamp Cum.

Every time person licks United
States postage stamp he gets a taste
OF sweet potato. The gum with which
the stamps are backed is made from
that succulent vegetable because Uncle
Sans lieutenants consider it the most
harmless preparation of the sort. All
OF the gum used on American postage
stamps is mixed by the government at
the bureau Of engraving and printing,
where the stamps are made. 1t is
spread on the sheets after the stamps
have been printed. The gum, in a
liquid form, is forced up through pipes
from the basement, where it is made.
These pipes lead to series Of ma
chimes consisting of rollers, between
which the sheets OF stamps are fed, one
at time. A continuous fine stream
Of the liquid gum falls upon one of
these rollers. The sheet with It's wet
coating Of sweet potato mucllage passes
from the rollers into long horizontal
fue filed with hot air. When it

Left our home so dearth of cheer.
