"A ieSlsldIlVe committee, consisting
of State Chairman q. A. CLAYTON. OF
Fairmont, and Squire Halstead. OF
kressler Cross Lanes, Nicholas coun-
ty, was appointed to attend the ses-
sion OF the legislature in January and
prosecute the work outlined. 1t was
the sense of the state committee that
all efforts be directed toward the
passage of proposed constitutional
prohibition amendment to be submit
ted to the people Tor a vote and that
local option measures be antag onized
as detrimental to the prohibition
cause and no consideration given to
them whatever. The legislative com
mittee was so advised.
Vote Was Increased.
The state committee discussed the
result OF the party's fight in the re-
cent campaign and qualification was
expressed over the fact that the total
vote in the state was considerably
greater than the total prohibition
vote in 1904. The total cast at the
recent election, as reported by Chair
man Clayton, was little more than
5000. The total vote cast four years
ago was 1899. Edward w. Mills, the
for governor, had about the
same number of votes as the partys
candidate for president, Eugene Cha
fin.
Chairman Clayton, who is also the
treasurer, reported the expenditure
of little less than $500.
The committee met at 1890 o'clock
and adjourned for the noon hour and
for an afternoo session.
Nine Attend.
Attending the meeting are Edward
W. Mills. of F'airmont, state organizer

At press time Tuesday afternoon

C0lonist RateS To BE Offered

According to announcements made by
railroad officials the usual cheap colonist
rates from eastern points to the north
west will be effective March l and con-
tinue during March and April. The
Inauguration of the cheap fares is ex-
pected to bring thousands of homeseek-
ers from the eastern states to the state
of Washington. As the result of finan-
cial conditions many people are turning
their eyes toward the northwest, the
unequaled advantages for home and
money making of this section proving
the magnet that attracts their attention.
This part of the state may expect to
receive its share of this influx through
the advertising being given it by the
Great Northern Bulletin, issued this
month. Secretary Harris, of the COM
mercial Club, is daily in receipt of let
ters asking for information concerning
this part of the country. THE MINER is
also playing no small part in this adver-
tising of Newport and the Pend d'Oreille
valley, as many copies of this paper have
been sent east during the past few
months by people residing here who
wish to acquaint their friends with the
advantages offered here. The special
edition OF December was distributed
all over the country in this manner and
is proving a good advertisement.

Spokah> 5usiness Men 10 Visit Newport

President F. A. Blackwell, of the Idaho
q Washington Northern Railroad, has
extended an invitation to the leading
business meT'and citizens of Spokane to
be members of an excursion party over
the new line to be run next Saturday.
The train will be made up of the new
roads equipment, and will include two
day coaches and combination smoking
and baggage car. pulled by one of the
fast new Baldwin engines. The train
will leave Spokane at 8 o'clock a. m.
and arrive at Newport at IL O'Clock.
The party will spend three-quarters of
an hour at Newport, and will leave here
at Las for Spirit Lake, where they will
be entertained at luncheon and given an
opportunity to inspect the work the
company is doing in the development of
the new town. The train will leave
Spirit Lake at 2:8O, arriving at Spokane
at o'clock.
The Commercial Club of Newport
should consider some means of meeting
these visitors, and extending to them
the courtesies possible during their short
stay i'll this city. A sleigh ride about
the city to the docks and other points of
interest would be as pleasing method
as possible, and give the visitors a good
idea of the advantages our city has to
nj for

New Steamboat Named.

The new steamboat being built at
Portland, Oregon, for the Pend d'Oreille
River Navigation Go. was christened the
past week and will bear the name
"Ione." The name is a new Que, no
other boat in service on the river having
borne it, and is appropriate as desig-
mating the lower river terminus of the
run she is being built for.
Work on the "Ione'' is being rushed
as fast as possible, so as to get her into
the service early in the spring. 1t is
expected that she will be ready for
launching by May Is. She will be put
in the freight and passenger service be-
tween Newport and lone, and it is ex-
pected she will prove speedy enough to
make the trip in one day. She will be
equipped with donkey engines and every
facility for the rapid handling of freight.
On Sundays the "Ione" will be used as
an excursion boat and will be specially
equipped for that purpose.

miles per hour is reached the axle gene
rator automatically takes the place of
the storage battery in supplying the
current without even flicker of the
lights being noticeable when the change
Is made. Each coach is brilliantly
illuminated with so incandescent lamps.
The exterior color is dark olive
green familiar 10 all as the old Pullman
color. The lettering and trimmings aie
gold and the vestibule hand rails,
brakes, etc are brass.
In the interior finish OF the coaches
the acme of coach building to this date
has been reached The smokers are
finished in quarter sawed oak, the day
coaches in African ma ahogany. The
wood wors embellished with Parqnetry,
an expensive hand finished decoration
in which five different colored woods
are used. The high domed ceiling is in
beautiful tints, the windows arched, the
upper part being stained glass. The
seats OF the smoker are upholstered in
Fabrikoid, an imitation leather and the
day coaches in red plush. Every COM
fort has been provided for the accomo-
dation of the passengers, the day coaches
having complete lavatory equipments
for ladies and gentlemen, similar to
those found in Pullman sleepers. To
fully appreciate the beauty of these
coaches it is necessary to see them at
night when brilliantly illuminated.
Each of the coaches cost 1900 and
the baggage car which is equipped with
every convenience for handling baggage
and express cost $13, 500. As the ordi-
nary coaches used on most roads cost
in the neighborhood of about IS 900 it
will be understood that the equipment
far surpasses the day coach equipment
OF any road in the country and the ver-
dict of the Pullman company, master
car builders, is fully justified None of
the great eastern roads use anything
near as fine as the cars that will soon
be running daily between Spokane and
Newport and it will be an eye-opener
for visitors to this section to take ride
on these trains.
In addition to the coaches that have
arrived three more coaches of similar
grade and one baggage car are being
turned out at the Pullman shops and
will be here IN time for the excursion
business to Spirit Lake and Newport
which the company will put on during
the summer.
The officials of the road have every
reason to be proud of the equipment
they are placing at the service Of the
public and when the new trains are put
on every want of the travelling public
will be supplied. Everything that the
new road has undertaken has been car

A SWELL NEW TRAIN
New Equipment for |. g W. NJ
Arrived This Week
Finest Eyer Built by Pullmens

The new passenger equipments OF the
Idaho & Washington Northern railroad
arrived at Spirit Lake on Sunday and
Monday and on Tuesday one of the new
baggage cars and smoker were put in
service making the first trip out Of New
port on the 5:l5 D. m. train.
1t consists of three coaches, a combina-
ton baggage and passenger coach and a
baggage car. At present only the new
baggage car and one of the coaches,
used as smoker, are In service, the day
coach which goes Through to Spokane
being Spokane International car as
before and it will be used until the new
through service to Spokane is established
arrangements for which have not vet
been completed and the date for its
Inauguration has not been set.
The new equipment was manufactured
by the Pullman company and the build
ers do not hesitate to pronounce the
coaches to be the very finest that have
ever turned out of these noted shops.
Several new featur es of construction are
to be found in these coaches which were
never used before and every detail is Of
the very best that the ingenuity OF the
car builder can devise and money buy.
The coaches are IS feet long and have
seating capacity of SO people. They
are steel frame and their weight is ll2,-
600 pounds. Six-wheel trucks are
under them insuring comfortable and
easy riding The train is vestibuled
throughout. the vestibules are the Pull
man standard width with steel traps
and equipped with an anti-telescoping
device known as the Foresight buffer
device which is recent invention and
used for the first time ON these coaches,
all of which insure safety to the passen-
gers. Steam heat is furnished and the
coaches also have emergency heaters
The Bliss Axle lighting system fur
nishes electricity for the illumination
of the coaches, each coach having a
separate axle generator and storage bat
terry and one coach can light all of the
others IN case of an emergency. This
is the very latest and best system in use
and has only recently been perfected
after years of experiment and expendi-
ture of vast sums of money. The stor-
age batteries supply light while the car
is not in motion and when speed of 16

Will It Affect Newport?

The United States Senate committee
on lands has reported favorably on the
bill of Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, to
provide means to definitely mark the
boundary line between Washington and
Idaho, from the point where the Clear
water river flows into the Snake river to
the British Columbia line, a distance of
1876 miles The bill will undoubtedly
pass.
There is considerable speculation as to
how the marking of this boundary will
affect Newport, some claiming that the
line will be showed further west, and
others claiming that some of Idaho's
present territory will be found to belong
to Washington.
