Miss Hobson was most popular

members of Centerville's school
board. They did not propose to
have any change Of teachers in dis

'Do you think Miss Hobson pays
quite enough attention to disci-

married school committeeman one
day.
"Discipline. Why, of course she
pays great deal of attention to
it" asserted Ed Porter hastily.
"We never had anybody else be-

Lane. "Why, one afternoon | was

The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1909-07-01

The committee in charge Of the big
flagpole has decided to have it raised on
Saturday, instead of making it part of
the celebration on the 5th. 1t was
found that too much time would be con-
sumed to have it done on the day of the
celebration. Therefore the only cere-
mony on Monday in connection with the
aagpole will be the raising of the flag.
The largest flag that could be secured in
Spokane, 12x20 feet, has been bought
and will be hoisted Monday.
The big f@gpole, 142 feet high. will
prove quite an ornament to the town
and a good advertisement for the cedar
pole industry, one OF the big resources
of this section. The pole has cost the
committee much labor that was donated
and considerable money. A subscrip-
ton paper will be circulated to defray
the expense.

from the east is quite an item. amount
ing to about $500 car.
The Newport yards OF the Idaho &
Washington Northern Railroad are al
ways kept exceptionally clean for rail-
road ward, but during the past week
even greater care has been taken to
make them presentable. A gang of men
has been at work most of the week
cleaning up the yards around the pas
senge1 and freight depots, and they now
look as clean as they can be made, and
are in far better condition than any of
the streets about town. The depot park
has also been trimmed up and as the
grass is growing nicely it will soon pre-.
sent very fine appearance. The Great
Northern Yards fronting on Fourth street
were also improved in appearance by

in caring for its premises which is

such matters, but the fact remains that
their superior equipment, service and
methods are attracting the business.
At the time the railroad commission
ers visited Newport to hold hearing
concerning railroad service at this place,
the commissioners ordered the erection
OF a new depot adequate to the needs of
the town. The hearing was adjourned
until July to give the e. n time to
submit plans to the commission. At
that time NJ. J. Costello, assistant gen.

Elks Were Easy Victims

The Elk ball team came to Newport
Sunday, accompanied by about 100 root
ers, and although the ball team did not
make things very lively for the Newport
ball tossers, the Elk rooters were right
there with the goods.
The game was notable chiefly for the
rag-chewing, roofing and the slow man
ner in which it dragged through nine
long innings. Newport started off with
a rush and all of it's nine men had faced
the Elk pitcher and six scores were
safely stacked away before the side was
retired. We got one more in the fifth.
seven in the sixth ,one in the seventh and
two in the eighth, total of 16. Elk was
able to score only in the fifth. when
they got three.
Newport's team was in shape for
much better game than they had to
play. With the switch IN the lineup,
the new catcher, shortstop and third
baseman, the fans have more confidence
in the team and they ought to give
good account of themselves from now on.
Hydron, the new catcher, is
worker and has a good batting eye.
Johnson at short is quick on his feet
and in batting and base running makes
good.
Next Sunday and on the Fourth Spirit
Lake will play our boys. Newport has
won two out of three games played with
the Spirit Lake team, but the latter is
stronger now and will put up strong
fight for both games.

rate OF fare and one-third for the

extra train service for the Newport cele-

not care to favor the people of Newport
