kane, on the local grounds. and had the
pleasure of wiping out the remembrance
of their former defeat at the hands of
the same team. 1t was battle royal
all the way through, and the outcome
was in doubt until the last man was re-
tired in the ninth.
Newport opened up with TWO runs
secured on errors and blanked the Wis
itors. In the second Hazelwood got
three runs, likewise on errors, land white
washed our boys Hazelwood got an
other IN the fifth, which was an earned
run on two hits. 1t began to look bad
for our fellows, but they tied the score
in their half. Waller, our catcher,
started off with two Dagger and scored
on Tessie's hit, who also lined out one
good for two bases. Schmidt followed
with a scratch hit, which brought in
Tessie.
In the eighth Hazelwood made des-
perate effort to>get the lead, and started
off with two good hits, but Rosy got
down to brass tacks and shut them out.
In our half Of the eighth Waller got first
on scratch hit. stole second, and going
to third on Tessie's bunt, scored on
Schmidt's long fly to left Tessie scored
ION safe one by Martin.
Hazelwood made last attempt to
win in the ninth, and got men to second
and third. but Rosy would not permit
hit and the side was retired. Score, 6
to in favor of Newport.
The feature of the game was a sensa-
tlonal double play by Hardwood in the
third inning. A hot liner was sent down
between second and short, which looked
like safe one. Shortstop made run
Tor 1t and was hit on the shins, bunting
the ball to the second .baseman, who
touched the bag and threw to first, COM
pleting lucky double.
Both pitchers threw a steady game
and had good control, but were freely
touched for hits. Each team got seven
sale ones. Roseborough struck out seven
men and his opponent six. Newport

Rail News OF the Week

The Great Northern had small wreck
in the Northern Mercantile wards on
Wednesday. Several fiat cars were de-
rallied.
The linemen for the |. K w. n. have
placed conduit under the tracks in
front OF the passenger depot, through
which the telegraph, electric light, COM
pany telephone, Interstate telephone
and city exchange wires are conducted
into the building:
Ten Great Northern engines were
hauled through Newport the first of the
week, their destination being Western
Washington, where they will be used
under lease by the c., M. & St. P. Rail-
way. They were of different type from
those used on this division, and came all
the way from the Michigan Iron Range
country.
The Great Northern now has two
steam shovels at work, one east of AL
beni Falls and one started Tuesday to
lower the tracks in the local yards. The
work Of lowering started near the old
Jones warehouse and the shovel is work
ing east. From point near the state
line the tack will veer off further south,
so as to take out the curve approaching
the big fill. What will be done in the
way of improving yard facilities is hard
to learn, but it is understood that the
tracks will be lowered and the passing
track extended beyond the state line.

DIVING For Fish.

A unique method of fishing is EN-
ployed by natives along the Panlauna
river. Two dugout boats are employed
about thirty feet long. with two men
with long poles. one in the bow, the
other at the stern punting the boat
along. They stretch long rope made
Of bamboOs; and plated grass about a
hundred yards long and weighted about
every ten yards with big stones. This
they let down into the water, and the
fish are frightened toward the bank.
The divers then jump in three at a
time, remaining down about twenty
seconds. They carry gaffs about eight
cen inches long and fishhooks with
cords attached. When they strike a
fish they let go the gaff. and the fish Is
hauled up in the boat. A big fire Is
lighted on the river bank. and the men
warm themselves before it when not

News of machinery for another mine
in the Metaline district was brought to
s ookane last week by II. G. Raedel,
manager of the Maiden Mining, Milling
& Milling Company, which owns group
of eight claims in that district. Mr..
Raedel said that a four-drll compressor
will be ready for work in 80 days, and
that road has been cut for hauling the
machinery to the NINE.
"This property is unique in the Meta
line district by way of its quartz forma-
tion," said Mr.. Raedel. The other
mines are in limestone formation, but
the Maiden is outside that zone. The
values are copper and silver. This is
the only copper prospect yet opened in
the district, the other mines being lead
silver. We have some good samples Of
ore and several assays show minimum
values of IS and run up to several times
that amount. The property has the
same vein, it is believed, as the Oriole
mine, but we are not working the same
ore body. The Orioles work has been
all in the galena ore shoot, and practic-
ally no work has been done on its cop
per vein. The Maiden also carries
lead silver vein, hut we have not devel-
oped it. We have secured waterpower
right and will probably be able to use it
in the development of the mine next
season"

The President and
West Point Hazing.

While President Roosevelt may Oh
may not have exceeded the preToga
tive of his office in what has been in
some quarters ienominated summary
action in the case of the six cadets
expelled from West Point for hazing
the real issue viii hardly be clouded
in the public mind by criticism OF
the presidents course. Politically
such criticism is right and proper, il
honestly made, and the presidents &C
ton may or may not properly be
formed into political campaign
issue. But if it be, such course Will
probably help rather than injure his
reputation, and in all likelihood profit
the republican candidate proportion
ately.
The real question before the Amer
lean people, as propounded by the
hazing problem at West Point, is
whether a man can be a bully at West
Point and, presto, ran officer and a
gentleman" the moment that his grad
uation vests him with a commission
in the army.
While the West Pointer has a
chance equaIled perhaps by, no other
mans to become gentleman, in the
sense of polish and manner, by vir-
tue of mis- West Point residence and
work, the cold, diSpassionate, relent-
less fact remains that it takes more
than four years of West Point or An
napolis and commission to make a
gentleman in the accepted sense OF
the word, and whatever initial advan-
tages of breeding and heritage the
West Pointer enjoys, are jeopardized
if, as a student cadet, he allows any
tendency to bully to run away with
his regard for the oath that he takes
when he enters West Point-the oath
of obedience TO the rules of West
flag.
The day has passed Tor thinking
that kind treatment of suboTdilates
makes molly-coddles OF them. The
day has passed when the West Point
custom and the rules of the nation
permit q 0ldu 10 lnlHk iHaI ne Is Qual-
flying as a gentleman when he takes
advantage over his fellows to treat
them as anything but gentlemen. The
day mas passed when men with either
pride or refinement are willing to be
treated with contempt and subjected
to humiliation by associates whose
only excuse is that they got into
West Point a year or more sooner
than the subjects of their persecu-
tons.
Whatever may be said in criticism
of the presidents procedure in this
last instance of haZing at West Point,
this much will stand out conspicuous
ly in the nations sight-that whether
his procedure be right or wrong, the
presidential power today stands for
making every cadet at West Point
realize that TO be an officer and
gentleman, he must be a gentleman
all the time.
