Manning Wins Again

The case of w. NJ. Manning VS..
the Board of County Commissioners
of Stevens county was decided in
the supreme court this week IN
favor of Mr.. Manning.
The point in dispute in the case
was whether or not a county officer
had the right to order necessary
supplies. and whether the county is
liable in such cases. Mr.. Manning
ordered a surveyors transit and
the commissioners refused to pay
it, claiming that the surveyor and
not the county should furnish the
instrument. Mr.. Manning brought
suit against the county and won
out in the superior court. The case
was appealed to the supreme court
and has been affirmed.

The Republican county ticket,
as nominated at the primary, a p
pears at the head of the editorial
page of this issue of THE MINER.
In the main it is satisfactory, and
it certainly is the choice of ma
jority of the voters at the primary.
That it will have divided support
would seem likely from the fact
that several of the Republican pa
pers are not in position to sup
port the full ticket, at least they
announced such intentions before
the primary. On the other hand
the Reveille. one of the three Dem
ocratic papers of the county, will
not support the Democratic candi-
date for auditor There promises
to. be a lively campaign, as with
conflicting elements and talk of
breach of promises, nobody seems
to have a cinch on the election.

c. W. Dossett, horticultural in
spector Of Stevens county, is grad
ually getting the results of his
labors in such shape that a perma-
nent record of all orchards and
fruit tracts in the county may be
formed and kept. He will use the
loose leaf ledger system, and each
inspection will be recorded in such
manner that not only can the
state board secure all information
relative to conditions here, but the
fruit grower can obtain the infor-
nation which will be of the most
value to him. Mr.. Dossett is an
enthusiast in his work. The pres
ent value of his operations lies as
much in his instructions to the
fruit growers as in the inspections.
If orchards are started right, with
care they may be kept right, but
the main trouble has been in the
improper selection of frui: stock.
Thousands of dollars might be saved
annually to the growers of this
county if they would consult a
specialist, such as Mr.. Dorsett,
before planting an orchard. Fruit
raising is no longer a pastime, but
has reached the scientific stage
where knowledge brings financial
results, and where ignorance causes
loss. Stevens county, by action Of
the county commissioners, is en-
deavoring to protect the interests
of its commercial fruit growers by
furnishing the services of a man
who is eminently qualified to ad,
wise, but the beneficial results Of
his work will depend almost en-.
tirely upon the attitude of recep.
ton which is given to his advice.

Judge Carey Appreciates Support

In appreciation of the support
he received on this side of the coun-
ty, Judge Carey has written the
following letter to the editor Of
The MINER:
Dear Sir-I desire to extend,
through the columns of your news
paper, my keen appreciation of the
support which | received at the
last primary election from the vot-
ers of the Pend Oreille river coun-
try and of Stevens county, and
especially from those of my friends
who sacrificed their time and eff
forts to secure my nomination. l
also wish to express to the editor of
the NEWPORT MINER my high ap-
probation of the valuable support
rendered me in the primary cam
paign, through the offices of his
paper, the NEWPORT MINER, and
respectfully acknowledge the sup
port of his paper to have been a
prominent and potent factor in
securing the victory accorded me
by the voters at the polls. Yours
very respectfully, D. H. CAREY. !.

1t is reported that Mr. Allen
will endeavor to get his name on
the election ballot for superior
Judge, but just how it is going to be
done is pretty legal question. At
any rate Judge Carey will have
nothing to worry about, as his
handsome majority at the pri--
maries would indicate that the
voters are not in much doubt as to
who they want for superior Judge.

The First Thought mine which is
located near Orient, in Stevens
county, and is owned by Pat Burns
& Co., with Blake Wilson as an
associate, is said to be the largest
gold mine in proportion to devel-
opment in The United States, 1t
has reached a depth of nearly 800
feet, with an ore body of from 80
to 12O feet wide. It has been a
producer for the last three years,
and is said to have paid in divi-
dends somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. With such a
proposition continuously at work
for so long period, also large
force of men, and perhaps the best
equipped mine in the state, it is
strange so little has been said con-
corning it. Sufficient depth has
been reached. and the character OF
the deposit, both in size and quail
ity, so far determined that the per-
manency of the mine is such that
it will doubtless require many
years to work it out.--Grand Forks

A warrant charging Michel Bam-
bino with murder was issued out of
Justice Woods court at Priest
River last week, as a result of the
killing of 13-year-old LUIGI Capria
by Michel Bambino, at the Italian
settlement near Priest River a
week ago last Sunday, the circum-
stances of which were related last
week. Hearing on the complaint
was had Wednesday before Justice
Wood at Priest River, County At
torney johnson appearing at the
preliminary for the state. The
whole story of the affair was gone
into closely, and the playmates Of
the two boys were questioned to
fullest extent as to the details of
the affair, with the result that JUS
tice Wood discharged the defend
ant at the close of the hearing.
While the boys stories did not ex-
actly agree in every detail, it was
shown beyond any doubt that the
killing of young Capria was an
accident and that the Bambino lad
had no bad intent.
