The present plans Of the Business

make of the short course that ds to be
put on here in January next, regu-

unusually fine display Of winter-kept
fruits that-was made last winter has
awakened the idea that equally good
displays may be made in. the line of
other farm and garden products, and
that We may combine the education Of
the short course with the pleasure and
benefits of a county fair, in all lines
of vegetable products.
The recent supreme court decision

for the city which were omitted. Some
Of these were later agreed upon in the
form of contract" with the city
council, which simply leaves the city
to enforce the contract at any future
time by resort to the courts, with all
the expense of long continued litiga-
ton. 1t is doubtful, under the present
arrangement, whether the city coun-
Gil can determine without q lawsuit
what the equitable price of gas should
be at any period in the twenty-five
year franchise already granted to the
gas company.

Priest Lake Road Attracts Attention

According to story in the Sunday
spokesman Review, three transconti-
mental railroads are anxlgus to obtain
control of the projected railroad from
Priest River into the Priest Lake coun-
try. 1t is said that the lines seeking the
control of the project are the Great
Northern, Spokane International and
the Milwaukee. A new Spokane cor
poration, known as the Idaho Central
Railroad, has recently acquired the
right-of-way and terminal sites formerly
owned by the Panhandle Electric Rail-
road & Power Co.
What the Milwaukee or the Spokane
international Railroad would want with
a road of that kind, remote from their
lines, passes understanding, and the ar
ticle as it appeared in the Review does
not seem worthy of much credence. The
Panhandle Company has always been
under the suspicion of being pretty much
of a hot air bunch. What seems most
likely is that the Great Northern will
build the road. In fact, Great North
ern officials have stated that their road
would do the work within the next few
years. The road will run up the west
side of the lake and be extended at least
as far as the Continental mine, north of
Priest Lake.
The nearest point to Priest River that
the S. l. touches is across the river from
LaClede. The Milwaukee will be at
least 100 miles from Priest River, unless
it acquires the Blackwell road, of which
move there are persistent rumors, to
which the recent visit to this section oj
President Earling and other officials ot
The road give some color of truth.

Big Edition of Advertising Matter

The Newport Commercial Club has

smoker in the near future and extend
an Invitation to all business men and
others interested in the growth of the
town to attend.
The Club, jointly with the Newport
Washington Land Co. has got out an
illustrated pamphlet advertising the
Newport district. 1t is handsomely
printed and we'll illustrated showing
pictures of the town, modern residences,
public buildings, views of the business
district and industries. In the descrip-
tive matter particular stress is laid upon
the undeveloped resources and as a
whole the pamphlet is one calculated to
interest people in the town and it's sur
rounding country. 1t is the best matter
of the kind ever issued in this territory
and will compare favorably with that
put out by other sections of the North
west. An edition of 10000 copies has
been printed at cost of $500, one
half of which is paid by the Newport

half will be paid for by the Commercial

as all of the ore bodies opened up at

poves of the saloon were present and
promptly put up their hands at the Or

two-thirds of the length of it, when he
stuck his head over the bar and shot,
bringing down one of the hold-ups. He
Immediately ducked down and shifted
his position just in time to escape being
hit by shot from rifle at the hands of
another of the trio. The bullet went
through the front bar and shattering a
demiiohn of whisky between Wilcox 8
legs buried itself in the back bar.
The wounding of their companion
routed the other two bandits, and after
firing at Wilcox they hastened to make
their escape out the door at which they
entered. Mike Shea, one of the en-
ployes of the place, attempted to stop
them, but realizing that he was in line
with WilcoX's command of the situation
Mike let the other fellow 90, after strik-

his own little finger.
Hackworth was shot through the alb

side and going clear through his body.
When shot he was watching for Wilcox
to appear at the end of the bar and was
unprepared to see him appear at the top
of the bar. After being shot he made a
