Brown hues begin to break the sea of
green; .
In all the valleys yellow tints pre-
vail;
No more is heard the song of night
ingale;
The glory of the summer time Is past
And every day grows shorter than the
last. Anon.

The setting of great hope is like
the setting of the sun. The bright
ness Of our life is gone. Shadows of
evening fall around us. and the world
seems but dim refiection-itself a
broader shadow. We. look forward
into the coming lonely night. The
soul withdraws into itself. Then stars
arise, and the night is holy.-Long-
fellow.

Quarantine to Be Raised Saturday Nieht

The radical measures taken by Health
Officer Phillips and the town board of
health to check the spread eff the diph-
liberia contagion by the closing of the
public schools and the placing of ban
on all public gatherings, has had the de-
sired effect. Since the establishment of
the general quarantine but one new case
has appeared and unless further cases
develop the quarantine will be raised
Saturday at midnight. the churches can
resume their services on Sunday and the
schools will open Monday.
Several of the families which have
been quarantined have been released,
but others will be kept under quaran-
tine for the full time required by the
state board OF health regulations. None
of the cases have resulted seriously, and
the wisdom of the radical measures
adopted has been fully vindicated. Dur
ing the time the schools were closed all
the rooms have been thoroughly fumi-
gated.

will be business for tp1 ooats for many
years in lumberirsN .,erations and more
boats will be Lied to do this work,
better adapted to the purpose than are
the boats now in service. The Panhan-
die, Fidelity and other lumber COM
panies will need such craft and will
probably employ as many rivermen as
have been in the service heretofore.
The river will also become more of, a
field for pleasure than before. The big
excursion steamer lone will be retained
in commission for summer excursions In
connection with the railroad, and more
publicity will be given to attract tour
lists to the beautiful scenes along the
river. With the passing of the steam
boats will also come more small pleasure
craft. AS the country becomes older
and more settled, and people begin to
find more time for the enjoyment of
natures outdoor bounties, the Mir,ored
Pend Oreille will contribute it's full share
to the enjoyment of life.

SHOW APPLES AT SPOKANE
Newport District Will be Repre-
sented.
Railroads Give Reduced Rates.

Next week, beginning Menday, Noy
n the National Apple Show will be the
attraction at Spokane. Growers all over
the Northwest will be represented with
exhibits, and fine program in connec-
ton with the show has been arranged
tor the entertainment of the public.
The first annual show held last year
attracted attention throughout the
United States, and accomplished much
toward bringing the Northwest to the
front of recognition AS the leading fruit
district of the world The success of the
first show has led to even greater inter
est in the second event and big week
is looked forward to.
The best growers in the country will
he represented. and it will be an object
lesson for all who are interested in apple
culture or who expect to 60 into the
orchard business. The railroads have
given a rate of one and onethird fare
tor the round trip. Selling dates, Nov.
1T 10 IL, inclusive, With llckeiS Soou re-
turning including Nov. 22.
c. b. Ide, late commissioner for Stey-
ems county at the A-Y.-P. f., is sengaged
in assembling display to show what
Stevens county can do in the line of fruit
raising. The Newport district and East
ern Stevens county will also be repre-
sented, G. nj. Talmadge and representa-
tves of the Commercial Club having
been busy the past few weeks gathering
the exhibit. Several trips have been
made into the Calispel valley country to
get samples of the apple product, and
with good results. The showing for this
district will comprise about so plates.
Mr.. Taimage expects to be at the Apple
Show during the week to distribute ad-
yertising matter for this section and
make known to visitors the possibilities
of apple raising in the Pend Oreille
valley country.
While the showing from this district
will hardly be able to compete for prizes
with the older sections of the state, it
will result in good advertising, and in
another year or two tins section will be
able to make a vastly better showing.

Will DismantIe Bridge at Albeni Falls

Contractors who have undertaken the
work of wrecking the old Great North
ern bridge across the Pend Oreille river
at Albeni Falls are preparing to start 8
crew of men on the job.
For some time past the Idaho Lime
Co., which has plant at the Falls, resi-
dents of that vicinity, and the Newport
Commercial Club have been endeavor.
ing to have Bonner county buy the
bridge from the railroad company to re-
tain the same as IA wagon bridge. A
considerable sum of money was pledged
by these interests for the purpose OF
building approaches to the bridge and
roads leading to it, The commissioners
of Bonner county viewed the proposition
favorab.y, ard made the company an
offer to pay it $4,000 for the bridge,
payable in annual installments of 5000
without interest. The company offered
the bridge to the county for $4,000
cash. Local officials of this division
recommended to the head office that the
offer of the commissioners be accepted
but the head Office rejected the offer and
now the bridge is to be taken down.
The bridge would have been OF great
value to this section of the country, as
it is, the most feasible place for a bridge
between the lake and Box Canyon. The
Great Northern could have conferred a
favor of inestimable value to this COM
mnnity by agreeing to the termr of pur-
chase propo sed by the commissioners.
1t is intimated that reason for their
not doing so is the fear that if the bridge
passed out of its hands it might make
an easy crossing for an electric road in
the future. 1t is estimated that it will
cost the railroad company at least
500, 900 to take down the bridge.
Gherigg & Gherigg. of st. Paul, who
had the contract for the steel on the new
bridge, have the job of wrecking the old
one.

STEVENS COUNTY GOES DRY
Ranchers Register Strong Protes,
Against Saloons.
Some Precincts Almost Unanimous

The 80 saloons in Stevens county, out
side the incorporated towns, were put
out of business at the special election
held Tuesday But little interest seemed
to be taken in the election and the
weather was very unfavorable for getting
out the vote. County Auditor Jesseph
reports that at 4 p. m today 40 out of &c
precincts have made reports to his Of
flee. On those reported the drys have a
majority to exceed 500, and it is likely
that the precincts not yet heard from
may add at least 200 to the majority. 1t
is estimated that about 1000 votes were
cast.
Locally the election attracted but little
attention OF total of so votes regis
tered in Newport precinct but % were
cast, of which lS were dry and 5wet. 1t
had generally been conceded that the
ranchers would vote against the saloons
if given an opportunity, and the vote in
the purely rural precincts bears witness
to the truth of the prediction. Johnston
precinct cast Is dry votes and but one
wet. The vote in other precincts on the
east side was as follows: Diamond
Lake, "a dry. II wet; Usk, % dry, SWEET
Mclaughlin (Cusick), "a dry, % wet
Dalkena, 20 dry, wet; lone, II dry, 81
wet.
lone is the only precinct on the east
side, thus far reported, which has gone
wet. There is a movement on foot to
incorporate the town so as to take it out
OF the county unit. but the local option
people state that the town will have no
opportunity of voting again until the
general election.of 1910, even if it does
incorporate.
In the case of the saloOnmen of New
port against the town contesting the
validity of the local option election held
September 7th, attorneys for the plain
tiff filed an amended petition today.
There being no court i'm session today,
the matter will be heard next Monday.

PASSING Of THE STEAM BOATS
Regular Traffic on the Pend Oreille
Abandoned.
More Pleasure Crafts in Future.

With the completion of the Idaho &
Washington Northern extension az far
as Metallne, the business of steamboat.
Ing on the Pend Oreille river has nrac.
tlcally come to an end. The run of the
boats OF the Pend Oreille River Nayiea-
ton Co.,was taken off Sunday, and the
boats will be tied up at lone for the
winter. The Ruth was taken out of
commission about month ago and is
tied up at Newport. There are now no
boats plying the river and doing gen.
eral freight and passenger business.
Many of the old-timers of this section
will regret the passing of the steamboat
business from the river. There is a ro-
nance and picturesqueness about the
steamboat that the faster railroad SER
vice can never give. While we read
much OF the cheapness of water trans
portatlon as compared with that by rail.
nowhere has the steamboat been able to
successfully compete with the lines of
steel and the boats on the Pend Oreille
will prove no exception.
Among the men who have made local
history in eamboating are George H.
Jones, j. W. Prewitt, the McInnises, J.
W. and Fred Cusick, Napoleon LeClerc,
the Samples, Art Flanders and Jim
Stewart. These men have faithfully
followed the river and won the good
wishes of the valley people by the SER
vice rendered in opening up the country.
In out few instances has steam boating
on the Pend Orellle proved profitable.
With the country new and undeveloped
much of the work of pioneering has
proven thankless task, and now that
the country is fast developing and COM
ing into its own there is no longer
place for the riverman. 1t is the same
old story Of the survival of the fittest,
and no matter how much the old friend,
the river, is appreciated for its grand
beauty, the more prosaic railroad gets
the business in the rush of modern life.
But the river will still serve the pnr-
pose of conveying to its rival the ton
mage products of the forests, farms and
mines on both sides OF its banks. There

board, will bring the battle of the bal
lots for the first week in March,
A local option petition was circulated
at Bonners Ferry some months ago and
has 600 names upon it. Morton and
Newport have filed petitions with the
county auditor, but these petitions will
be recalled and relied When the peti-
tions are presented to the board as
whole.
The state law provides that in order
to force the commissioners to call an
election there must be petitions signed
by 40 per cent of the voters at the last
preceding election for the office of secre-
tary of state. The total vote in Bonner
county for secretary of state at the last
election was APO, which figure will make
it necessary for the local option petitions
in the county to contain total of 164S
signatures.

declare that the fight for local option in
Bonner county will now proceed in
systematic way, and they state that
there is no doubt of securing the requis-
ite number OF signatures to the local
option petitions. ns.-Sandpoint Review.
