CLOSED SCHOOL YEAR
First Commencement Exercises of
Newport Schools.
Pleasing Program Was Rendered

The first annual commencement ex-
ercises OF the Newport High school were
held at kelly's hall on Fridyy evening
last. The hall was filed to its utmost
capacity by patrons Of the school and
the friends of those who took part in
the interesting program provided by
students.
Miss Ethel Slack was the only gradu-
ate and delivered her address in q very
creditable manner. The subject was
"The Spirit of Progress" Miss Slack
has the honor OF being the first graduate
OF the Newport schools.
Superintendent King delivered an ad-
dress on Education and society,""
President Appel OF the board of edu-
cation presented the diploma to Miss
Slack and delivered an address in which
he gave a brief history of the school and
praised the teachers tor the work that
had been accomplished during the past
school year
The schools have improved greatly
under the superintendency of Prof. King
who has been engaged gor the ensuing
year. The grades have been advanced
so that the courses of study are now on
an equality with schools in other cities
of this size The patrons Of the schools
are to be congratulated on the success
of the first commencement. Let us hope
that the class of 1909 may be much
larger than the first and that the school
year be even more prosperous than the
one just passed

To Dredee the River

Major H. II. Chittenden, at the head
Of the United States Engineers office at
Seattle, has called for bids for dredging
the Pend d'Oreille river. The bids must
be filed in the Office of the engineer on
or before noon Of June 25.
1t is hoped by river men that some
contractor will secure the work and
dredge the stream. There are several
places that need the work badly. The
river has been neglected for years. All
Of the money appropriated for rivers in
Washington has apparently been ex-
pended on the Columbia. The river
traffic on the upper portion of that stream
is inconsequential as compared with the
traffic on the Pend d 'Oreille. The traffic
on the latter stream is increasing rapidly
and the government should make an
appropriation adequate for the needs of
the river.

An Exciting Runaway

John Koch and party OF friends from
Spokane were participants in an excit-
ing accident at Albeni Falls on Monday.
They had engaged team to take them
TO the falls on fishing expedition. As
they were descending the steep hill in
the rear OF the Poirier place, the straps
holding the neckyoke broke allowing
the rig to run upon the horses. The
animals became frightened and engaged
in lively kicking spell. George Heep,
the driver, says it was the finest exhibi-
ton of high kicking that he ever witness
sed. The buggy was dragged about SO
feet before the occupants made their
escape.
Mr.. koch's face was badly scratched
and he was otherwise injured. One of
the other men received badly bruised
shoulder and the other had one of his
lower limbs put out of commission for a
time

Fourteen Old Soldiers in Line

Memorial day was duly observed at
Newport, the citizens uniting with the
old soldiers in honoring the memory OF
the soldier dead At ten O'Clock the

were Mayor Appel, Prof. l.. ii. King
and A. S. Sherlock and all paid eloquent
tributes to the work done by the vet
erans in the dark days when the life OF
the nation was at stake. A musical
program and recltations added to the
interest OF the exercises.

cemetery were dispensed with and the
soldiers carried at out the church the cere-
mony of honoring the graves OF un-
known dead.
The following old soldiers were pres
ent and participated in the ceremonies,

monies in honor of departed heroes. The

general manager of the Pend d'OreilIe
River Navigation Company, died Oh
Monday, May 25, 1908, at Cape Horn,
Skamania County, Washington, where
he had gone for the benefit of his health.
Mr.. Irving was born in Albany, Ore,
April %, 1879, where he lived until
February, 1908, when he removed to
Portland. He was in the employ of the
Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph

mer of 1901, when he resigned his posi-

stall electric lighting apparatus in the
company's steamers. He remained in
the employ of the Vancouver Transpor
tation Company in various capacities

til March l, 1908, when he was obliged,

Newport District Mines Look Good.

q. {. Sutton, of Priest River, was in
Newport on Monday. Mr.. Sutton is the
principal owner of the Farmer Jones and
Camp Bird mines in the Newport dis
trict. These mines are located about
six miles northeast Of this city and are
among the most valuable pieces of prop
erty in this disto;ct He states that he
has recently opened three foot vein of
silverlead ore in the Camp Bird prop
erty and that, ii the Blackwell road was
completed, he would be ready to ship
from that prop 'erty. The ore is high
grade. The Camp Bird adjoins the Far
mer Jones but the latter property is a
gold proposition, the formation appear
ing to change between the two proper
ties. Both of these mines will be ship
pers as soon as the new road is COM
pleted. Mr.. Sutton has perfected q drill
that appears to answer the purpose OF a
diamond drill and, in fact is superior to
that drill as it cuts faster and is more
economical to use. 1t is also lighter and
can be operated by hand as successfully
as diamond can by other power. He
had sample of core made by the new
machine.

GAS WELL BROUGHT
IN NEAR DAYTON
Fine Flow is Struck and Flames Could
Be Seen TWenty-six Miles
Away

Dayton, N. NJ, Sept. S.--On Satur-
day last it became generally known
here that a big gas well had been
brought in by the Dayton Gas and Oil
company, only one and a half miles
from the town limits.
The vein was tapped some days ago
at depth of 1,020 feet, but the drillers
did not succeed In getting the water
cased OF until a few days
Saturday night the well was lighted up
to make demonstration.
The light of the gas was seen a
distance of rs miles, but on account OF
the casing not being anchored down
and the temporary fittings weak, the
pressure has never been allowed to
reach over 1O5 pounds to the inch.
People of this section are very en-.
thusiastic over the strike, as it proves
the long prevailing belief that an abund.
ance Of oil and gas exists in the com.
munity.
Two wells inside the townslte show
considerable oil and gas and several
lon tracts adjoining the town show eth.
er oil or gas.
Actual development Of the property
