A Good Advertisement

One OF the best advertisements for the
state Of Washington is the Great North
ern Bulletin, which is given free distri-
button all over"the east. The issue of
last January contained number of pic
lures Of ranches in this section. and
letters telling of what has been done
here in the way of agriculture and hor-
ticulture, and brought many letters of
inquiry. The Commercial Club has
/ been notified that another issue will
soon come out, and that it is desired
that this section be represented. Ranch
ers :having pictures of their places will
confer favor to the club by bringing
them in and writing letters telling OF
their experiences with various crops.
The copy should be in the hands of the
Secretary Harris by Sept l.

Chas. P. Moore, superintendent OF the
pole department of the Northern Mer-
camille Co., was severely injured while
assisting in unloading a sunken barge
near the Transportation Co.'S docks on
Tuesday.
The barge was loaded with ties loaded
on trucks. The barges were water
logged, and one of them had settled on
rock and tipped toward the stream.
While attempting to push tier of
switch ties off from one of the trucks
the whole pile gave way, and number
of the heavy timbers struck him and
carried him to the deck of the barge
His foot caught in under the cayill OF
the boat and pinned him down. His
back was badly bruised and lacerated

the foot protruded through the flesh,
making a very painful and serious

OBITUARY

At $3.50 p. M. Monday, August 3rd,
at the home on Silver Birch, occurred
the death of Marian, beloved daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. M. Talmadge.
Her release from this world of sor-
rowing and suffering. came most
unexpectedly and with crushing
force to loving parents and friends.
She was sick but for two days and was
not thought to be seriously i'll when the
end came and she peacefully went to
sleep.
Marian was born in Newport July "a,
1901. She was a lovable child, whose
happy ways won the hearts of all who
came to know her. Full of life and
happiness, kind and gentle, many heads
were bowed in sorrow at the news of
her passing.
Funeral services were held at the
home on Wednesday afternoon, Rev.
Livingston officiating. Kind friends
brought beautiful flowers in profusion
as tribute to the memory of their little
friend and token of sympathy for the
broken-hearted parents. Interment was
in the I. 0. o. F. cemetery.

An Illuminated Sian

Reading the suggestion OF the Miner
that large billboard be erected between
the l. & w. N. and Great Northern
tracks advertising the resources of this
country, j. w. Beckwith of the North
ern Electric company, made the propo-
sItion that if the Commercial Club
would erect such billboard his COM
pany would gladly furnish the current
to electrically illuminate it. This is a
public spirited proposition and we
ought to get busy and take advantage OF
it. The sign that formerly stood on the
triangle did great deal in the way OF
attracting attention to the town. Let's
have another and one that can be read
day or night.

VOTERS MUST REGISTER
Last Chance to Register Before
Primary September 9TH
Not Necessary in Smaller Precincts

There seems to be good deal OF mis-
understanding among the people regard
ing some of the provisions of the pri-
mary law. Among other things the
necessity for registration seems to be
misunderstood.
The law requires that all voters resid-
ing in precinct where there are 250 or
more votes must register before thev
can PAL ticipate in the primary. This
means that on the east side Of the coun-
ty only the voters of Newport precinct
will need to register. Those living in
side the incorporated town of Newport
must register with Town Clerk Carl K.
Schotte Those residing in the precinct,
but outside the incorporation, must
register with J. NJ Mcdonald.
The one registration suffices for both
the primary and general elections, also
the city election: The registration books
are open from the first Monday in Janu
ary of each year until 20 days before the
general election However, they will
be closed on the day of the primary
election, and those voters in this pre-
cinct who wish to vote at the primary
must register before the date of the pri
mary, Sept. s.
The primary election will be con-
Quoted in almost every detail the same

MANY FOREST FIRES
Big Fire Still Spreading in Down
River Country
Bad Fires Close to Newport

In response to urgent kilograms to
Governor Mead calling attention to the
gravity OF the fire situation down the
river, State Fire Warden j. r. Welty,
oi Oily .npia, arrived in Newport Friday
last and went to the scene of the fire by
the first boat. Mr.. Welty returned
Monday evening and gave the Miner the
following information regarding the fire
which is devastating the fine timber Of
township 35-42.
The fire is raging north OF Tacoma
creek. The high wind OF Saturday drove
the flames across the trenches that had
been thrown up before that time and
made futile all the work that had been
done by the big force of fire fighters.
They fell back and began anew and dur
ing Sunday and Monday checked the
fire on the south and completed a trench
from Tacoma creek north, checking the
fire on the east These last trenches
have been we'll back fired and Mr. Welty
thinks should hold the fire in check.
He thinks that the fire would be under
control by Wednesday night and if the
wind keeps down the danger is past.
All depends on the character of the wind
from this time on.
Ii more high winds like that of Satnr-
day should come the whole timber re-
sion in that locality will be burned.
No serious accidents have occurred
although reports of deaths and accidents
among the fire fighters have been nu-
merous Most of the worthless workers
who went in with the hur. iedly assem-
bled force have been sent out and the
men now remaining at the front are
doing we'll and working hard. Deputy
Fire Warden L. A. Kerr, of Colville,
has charge of the men and is exerting
every effort to control the fire.
Further news from the fire is hard to
get as the meane of communication with
the FIRE fighters is very poor. People
coming up on the boats say that the fire
seems to be spreading oyer greater
range OF territory. 1t seems to be con-
fined to the unsurveyed territory and

KANSAS EMBEZZLER
SURRENDERS TO POLICE
Omitted Press Leased wire.)


Oakland, Dec. 17.-C. p. Bissell
is in the city prison today, awaiting
removal to Wichita, Kansas, where
he says he is wanted on a charge of
embezzling more than $400 from
the Missouri Pacific railroad, whose
station agent he was up TO November
23 of this year. In yielding to the
proddlngs of his conscience, Bis
sell surrendered himself to the po-
lice yesterday and dictated his own
confession.
He said that he had originally en-
countered trouble with, his creditors
and had taken some of the railroad
company's money to quiet them.
Then he said he became frightened
and, after stealing $40 more, he
skipped out, going first to El Paso,
Texas, then to Los Angeles, and fin
ally to this city. He said that he
had not slept for two weeks and
was so wretched that he could stand
the load of guilt no longer. He
hoped, in view of the fact that he
had surrendered himself and had
suffered a good deal already, that
he would be treated right"
