About Newport, Stevens
County, Washington

hUUuI l>c"PUit, StcVCiiS
County, Washington
40 other place in the country
~ offers opportunities as great
as in Stevens County, Wash
ington. There are opportuni-
ties here for the poor man to
secure a home. There are OPP
portunities for the wealthy to
double their money in a few
years by investing in ranch or
timber lands. Stevens county
contains 1854 square miles of
territory, or over 100000
acres of land. 1t is three times
the size of the State of Rhode
Island. The great industries of
Stevens county are numbering,
farming, fruit growing and
mining. Newport is the gate
way to the Pend Oreille valley,
containing thousands of acres
of rich agricultural lands for di-
versified farming. Clover and
timothy grow abundantly the
average yield being 1 IL to 3
tons per acre. Hay finds
ready market at SIS to SIS per
ton, thus a few crops will pay
for land selling at $50 to 500
per acre. What is grown in
the irrigated sections can more
easily be grown in the Newport
district where the rain is Suffl-
cient and comes at the right
time to insure crops. Land
around Newport can be bought
for one fourth what you would
pay in the irrigated sections and
in a few years will be worth
more. We have soil that pro-
duces results. Here are some
examples: Strawberries 1000
to 5000 quarts per acre and
sell at 1Oc to 15c per quart; po-
tatoes 100 to 800 bushels per
acre, sell at 75c to So per cwt.;
oats 90 to SO bushels per acre,
sell at $3.50 to $1.75 per cwt.;
Wheat 20 to 40 bushels per
acre, sell at $1.o5 to s. per
cwt. Fruit raising is rapidly
coming to the front. Thousands
of acres in Stevens county have
been planted to orchards. Some
have already made money on
few acres of apples. All small
fruits and vegetables do exceed
ingly we'll and there is a home
market at good prices for every
thing raised. Crop failures are
unknown in this country. These
facts are worthy of your thought
and consideration and should
prove an incentive to those
wishing a sure and profitable
living. We have owned, titled
and worked enough land in this
section to talk automatically on
the subject and we say good
soil here will make you money.
We have good ground to sell
that will make money, unim-
proved tracts at $40, $3.50,
SIS, and $50 per acre. Inn
proved from $40 upward, all
two to ten miles from Newport.
We have 1, 5 or 1o-acre fruit
and garden tracts near town at
low prices and on easy terms.
We have several good buys on
our list. If in the market call
or write for complete informa-
ton if you want town property.

We are the pioneers in the real
estate business. We can sage
you money and can make you

cal extravaganza, the Isle of

221 nights. 1t was then taken to
Boston, where atthe Globe Theatre,
1T delighted music loving audiences
for four months, and thence to
New York City, at the Majestic

self as a prime favOrite among the
Metropolitan theatregoers, remain
ing at that playhouse for four
months. Absolute novelty is
claimed for the construction Of this
musical comedy, and the chorus
numbers are said to be marvels of
stage invention. The musical
numbers are of the singable, whis-
tleable kind, and there is no doubt
but what the most catchy of them
will be heard on the streets long
after the engagement here. Among
the most attractive features of the
Isle of Spice" is a pony ballet,
composed of twelve little girls. not

clever work throughout the entire
performance.

Organizing Baseball Leasuel

The local baseball fans are
now at work formulating plans for
the biggest thing in the baseball
line Shepherdstown has ever wit
messed. \ number of we'll known
local enthusiasts have taken the
initial steps in consummating an
athletic association here To secure
a representative team that will be
a credit to the town.
If present plans are carried out,
1t Is the intention of these men to
organize Il league of four towns,
consisting of Shepherdstown, Mar
tnsburg, Berryyille, Hagcrstown
and possible Brunswick. What
say YOU Brother. Hughes! -Shep-
herdstown independent.
We say this: The proposition
meets with our full approval, pro-
vlded the league limits the players
to amateurs and does not venture
into the field of paid players. =
An amateur league composed of
any four towns in this section can
easily schedule games which will
be credit to the players and an
advertisement to the towns. BY
all means let us have a purely
amateur league for the love of
sport and the advancement of each
of our towns.

No. 5.
Removal Of Blackstone Unusual CaSs.

The adoption Of resolution by
the General Assembly of Virginia
removing Judge j. W. G.. Black
stone of the Eleventh Judicial dis
trict of that State of office was an
extraordinary action, and one that
has rarely been resorted to by any
of the States. Not, however, that
the State has not the power to re-
move judges, but, fortunately for
the good name of the judiciary, the
necessity for such a summary pro-
cess has rarely arisen. In the his
tory of Virginia there have been
only three other similar cases.
Judge Blackstone was accused
of immortality and gross neglect of
official duty, and the Legislature
devoted much time, labor and
patience to the investigation of the
charges. That there was over
whelming evidence of their being
true was indicated by the fact that
there was only one dissenting vote
in the Senate and one in the House.
OF course, it is not surprising to
hear that Judge Blackstone is loud
in his protest and that he declares
he will carry his case to the Su-
preme Court, but there does not
appear to be anything in the record
to Justify the belief that the Court
would find anything irregular in
the Legislative proceedings.
While it is regrettable that the
Legislature Of the Old Dominion
has been called upon to dismiss, in
ignominy, the incumbent of a Judi
cial Office, it Is to be congratulated
upon the courage and patriotism
with which it has performed its
unpleasant duty. The obligation
of maintaining the responsibility
and honor of the bench unstained
Is supreme, and manifestly this
obligation has beenwell discharged.
