Why We Need a Library

A public library in our commun-
;ty would be an influnce for good
every day in the week. 1t would
make the town more attractive to
4 class of people we want as resi-
dents and neighbors. 1t would
mould the characters of the child
rem in our homes. A good library
would get gifts from wealthy citi-
zens. No other public institution
offers so fitting an opportunity for
the public spirited citizen to help
his neighbors and win their ap-
proval and affections.
A library in Newport would be
The center of our intellectual life,
and would stimulate the growth of
All kinds of clubs for study and
debating. 1t is great part OF our
education to know how to find
facts. No man knows everything,
but the man who knows how to
find an indispensable fact quickly
has the best substitute for such
knowledge.
We need a library to carry forth
in a better manner the education
of the children, who leave school;to
give them a chance for self-educa-
ton. We need it to give thoughts
and inspiration to the teachers OF
the people, those who in the school
room or pulpit, on the rostrum, or
with the pen ATTEMPT to instruct or
lead their fellow citizens. We need
it to help our mechanics in their
employment, to give them the best
thoughts of the best workers in
their lines, whether these thoughts
come in books or papers or maya
zines.
A public library would be we'll
worth while if for no other reason
than to keep boys at home in the
evening by giving them we'll writ
ten stories of MISUNDERSTANDING
uted.

Two Big Potato Fields

Eight hundred bushels of pota-
toes of the Burbank variety from
an acre of land is the yield pro-
duced on four-acre patch owned
by R. J. Hurd, a rancher on the
Little Spokane river in Spokane
county, the remaining three acres
netting an average of 533 10 bush
els, or a total of 2,4OO bushels for
the patch, It is believed to be a
worlds record. The tubers are OF
good size and color and are smooth
of grain. One hill contained SO
potatoes, weighing % pounds
They were grown without irriga-
ton, in sandy loan soil, planted
three feet apart and cultivated
crisscross fashion. Another big
yield grown without irrigation isre
ported by G. C. Colebank, of Sulli-
van, Stevens county, who averaged
more than 400 bushels on five
acres, l3 potatoes taken from one
hill weighing ID pounds. The po-
tatoes were grown on practically
unbroken land and were only hoed
twice during the season. These
yields have been investigated by
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce
and L. G. Munroe, secretary,
vouches for the correctness of the
statements, having affidavits from
Messrs. Hurd and Colebank and
others who were on the ground
when the crop was taken out. The
highest previous yield in the state
was 1874 bushels, grown in the Spo-
kane valley last season. The high
est average yield for the state is
ISL bushels, while the general av-
erge yield for the 10 years is 1924

Calispel, Wash, Nov. II.
Editor Newport Miner.

Editor Newport Miner.
Why don't the people of the
Calispel valley buy the water right
of Calispel falls and build an cleo
trio power house, run a wire down
to the mouth of the Calispel river
and use electricity to pump the
water of the Calispel river into the
Pend Oreille?
The surplus power can be used
by the ranchers to light their
houses, run woodsaw or churn
or separator.
The ranchers can get small
sawmill outfit and run it by cleo
trio power, and saw their own
lumber, make shingles and lath
out of timber they are burning up
now to get it out of the way. Usk
and Cusick will soon need electric
power. so that in after years the
power plant would be self-sustain-
ing and not be tax every year on
the rancher. Yours truly,

ORGANIZE Land Company

Articles of incorporation have
been drawn and filed by the Pan
handle Investment Co., which has
for it's purpose largely the devel-
opment of agricultural lands along
the I. & w. N. railroad.
Those interested in the company
are F. A. Blackwell, A. B. Jacoby,
Fred B. GrinnelI, R. F. Blackwell
and F. w. Dewart. The company
has been capitalized for 100000,
and while it's object will be largely
for the development of the agricul-
tural resources along the l. & W.
N. railroad, it will also place town
sites on the market. Already the
Jones ranch at Usk, Wash, has
been purchased and is to be plated
and placed on the market at an
early day. Usk lies on the west
bank OF the Pend Oreille river on
the /. & w. n. survey 20 miles
below Newport. The new town
lies near the point where the Cal
ispel river flows into the Pend
Oreille and in a splendid farming
region. With the coming of the
railroad next year a good little
town doubtless will develop as
along with the agricultural re-
sources will 60 that of timber,
which is unsurpassed in quality
and is found there in abundance.
The new company doubtless will
play an important part in the de-
velopment of the agricultural lands
along the l. & w. n, and the char
acter of the gentlemen behind it is
such as to insure it being promi-
nent factor in the development
work now going on that means so
much to this section of Idaho and
Northeastern Washington.-Spirit

The present head of the nation
keeps himself in excellent physical
condition by tennis, horseback
riding, walking and other many
recreations. He would have the
army and navy and everybody else
and his wife follow his example.
Last week when he mustered sixty
army officers for walk, he led
them a chase of about three hours,
which, if the facts were known,
sent most of them to bed and might
have sent some of them to the hos
pital. The day of soft, knock-kneed
obesity is past in the army.

without saying that whenever Sage found an op-
portunity to play joke upon Harris, Harris was
sure to suffer
Along about 1877, Sage fell victim to an illness
which reduced him to skeleton and defed all the
efforts of the physicians to it. He went to the
AdirondaCks and took Harris with him. Sage had

and black coffee Sage's stomach could abide
nothing but the delicate food therefore this
banquet revolted him, and he sat at the table
employed, while Harris fed ravenousy limitlessly,
gratefully; for he had been chaplain in fighting
regiment all through the war, and had kept in per
lection the grand and uncrcal appetite and splendid
physical vgor which those four yearso tough fare and
activity had furnished him Sage went supperless

its twin the night before.

plated the performance and meditated revenge.

aside and had confidential talk with him. He said:

Two SupperS H1ty cents, TWO DedS tn1rly cents,
breakfasts, fifty cents; total, a dollar and
thirty cents

fetch it to me here on the porch. Make it thirteen
dollars"
