COUNTY PRINTING LET
The Miner Will Publish County
Matter for Another Year.
Statesman-Index Will Contest

At the session of the county COM
missoners last week the contract for the
publication of commissioners proceed
ings and all notices required by law, for
the year beginning July l. 1908, was let.
The Colville Examiner secured the
contract with the understanding that il
also provide for the publication of all
such matter in the Newport Miner and
the Northport News. According to law
there can be but one official paper and
the Examiner will carry such title for
the year but the Miner and the News
will also publish all the matter furnish
ed for publication.
The arrangement is one which cannot
help but be satisfactory to the people Of
Stevens county. BY it the fullest posi-
BILE publicity is given to the business
transactions of the commissioners and
the intention of the law to permit the
commissioners to use their discretion in
selecting the best medium is carried
out. Publicity in public affairs tends
to prevent mismanagement of public
affairs and is the greatest known
remedy for the prevention OF graft. BY
the arrangement of having three papers
in different parts of the county publish
the county matter the best possible
service is given the people and the in
tent and purpose of the law is fully
complied with. The Examiner has q
rapidly growing circulation in the center
of the county, the News covers the
Northern part and the Miner circulates
throughout the eastern half.
The Statesman-1 Index also put in &
bid for the work which was ridiculously
low and tried to walk off with the con
tract for the job printing OF the county
but the Commissioners deemed the
Joint bid the best from the standpoint
OF service and so awarded the contract
and gave the Examiner the job print
ing. "Red Top", the Examiner editor
is still on top at the county seat.
AS result of the rejection of its bid
the Statesman-Index has begun suit to
restrain the commissioners from con-
tracing with the Examiner. And the
war has just begun. 1t seems reason
able to presume that the right OF the
board to exercise their discretion in the

he will enter the service as guard and

A considerable change will be made
soon in the boundaries of the Priest

away from the jurisdiction of the local
Office. Sundays Spokesman-Review re-
ported that all of the Idaho part of the

about IL townships in the northeastern
part comprising that part which is in

taken away from the Priest River
Forest.

FOR A PUBLIC LIBRARY
Newport People Organize for
That Purpose.
Invite the Aid of Our People.

At the second meeting OF parties in
terested in the organization OF a public
library association held at the Congre-
gational Church Monday evening some
of the details of the organization were
completed. Those present agreed upon
and signed articles of incorporation and
elected Board of Trustees, the latter
to draw up bylaws and formulate the
government and plans of the associa-
ton.
The Trustees elected are Mrs. W. G.
Lawrence. Mrs. B. F. Seeley, Mrs
e. b. Boudwin Messrs. A. S. Sherlock
and J. H. Long The trustees also con-
stitute the committee on membership
and after preparing the bylaws will
call another meeting OF the association
for their adoption.
1t is the hope OF the Association to
place before the people of Newport and
vicinity the advantages OF a free public
library. To accomplish this it is
expected to charge nominal member
ship fee and ask all interested in the
work to join the association. 1t is also
anticipated that aid will be extended by
the state library commission and al
ready numerous offers OF donations of
valuable books have been extended by
parties residing in this city. The city
council may be asked to furnish the
library quarters in the city hall for the
present and there is no good reason
why the request should not he complied
with.
The Association requests and will ap-
preciate the aid and cooperation of
every citizen OF this vicinity
$. G. Cosgrove. of Pomeroy, was a
Newport visitor Monday. Mr.. Cos
grove is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor and will 60 be-
lore the party at the September prim-
aries. He has been an active Repub-
lican worker since territorial days and
the eastern part of the state should be
further interested in his candidacy fol
the reason that no resident of Eastern
Washington has ever occupied the
&ubnatoriai chair. Mr.. Cosgrove is a
veteran of the Civil War and makes a
good impression on those he meets.

THE PEOPLE CAN'T BE FOOLED

Tomorrow we shall begin to hear the grlud of the credentials at Chicago, and the seating and tEe unseating of delegations to the great republican gathering will absorb the attention of the nation.
 So far as the mass of the people of Alaska Is concerned, whether or not the jugglery and highhanded methods adopted at Ketchikan by the recipients of the governors favor to carry their point and create false impressions abroad will secure the seating of their delegation st Chicago and the conse- queut recognition of the creatures of that convention as the regular republi- can organization, this much is true that the people at large Ire aware of the conditions acd cannot be fooled. Mir. CorsOn, spend what money he will, is doomed to humiliatIng defeat at the hands of the free electors of Alaska, aud &r. Gale is as certain of triumph ant endorsement and a return to congress as it is certsiu that the ever lasting right shall prevail in all things at the end.

 There Is a well known rule of parli' umentsry practice which provides that DO man may reverse the action of an organized body, once taken, save upon motion of some member of that body who voted in favor of the action when it was taken. So 1t Is common trick, when the game !s seen to be g0- ing against design, for some one who has set his heart upon certain end to yo.e contrary to his convictions tha, be may be in position to move reversal at some later and more oppor- tune season.

there are individual differences. Not
every one can be deeply hypnotized; with
not a few the inhibition goes no further
than the inability to open the eyes. while
only one out of four enters into strong
hypnotic Authorizations. Further not
every one is we'll prepared to awaken that
confidence which is essential and that
feeling of repose which guides one over to
the dreamy state; the look. the voice, the
gestures the phrases, the behavior, of
certain persons make them poor hypno-
Tiers. however well they may understand
the tricks. But in principle everybody
can hypnotize and can be hypnotiZed just
as in principle everybody can love and
can be loved, and no special mysterious
power is needed to fall in love or to
awaken love.
Yet while thus every one can exert hyp-
motto influence, no one can do 1t by a
mere glance. All the stories of 4 secret
influence by which one mans will gets
hold of another mans mind are remains
of the mesmeric theories of the past To-

upon the attention and imagination of the

can flow over from the mind of the hyp-

Then the boys mother went to the

how much she would do for him and what
nice times they would have ' hen he got

often a long, Winded customer. When per-
sonally known he is not difficult to deal
with. One Of his pecuiarites is that he
will haggle more over the price of a five
shilling. hat than over a four-gunea suit.
Haggling over the prices is one of the
little tantalizing disadvantages which
every country retailer has to meet. OF
course. it must be borne with good humor
and otherwise met in the proper way.
In the large towns the haggler is usual
ly given short shrift. London and large
provincial shops are conducted more on

proprietOrS rely on amplitude of stock,
freshness of display. rules and system
rather than adaptability in their statesmen
This is mainly the reason why the country

gains. He runs the risk of losing the
patient knack of dealing skillfully with
