COMMISSION ORDERS DEPOT
Great Northern Receives Mandate
From State.
Copy of Commissions Order

THE MINER is in receipt OF letter
from the State Railroad Commission to
the effect that the commission has
served notice on the Great Northern
Railway to provide new depot at New
port, agreeable to the findings arrived
at when the commission visited this
place in May.
The railroad company was expected
to submit it's plans for the Newport i'm
provements by July l, but failed to do
so, and many have come to the conclu-
sion that the commission would drop
the matter. From the order issued to
the railroad company it is evident chat
the order is expected to be complied
with, and that within a reasonable time
the new depot will be erected. The
commission requests that it be advised
by the citizens in the event Of failure
of the company to comply with the or
der, of which the following is copy:
To the Great Northern Railway Co.:
1t is by the commission ordered that
the defendant company do, within 20
days from and after the service of this
order upon it, submit to the railroad
commission plans for new station
building to be erected at Newport, and
plans showing any changes that it con-
templates in its yards and tracks at
Newport. In case of it's failure to sub
NIT such plans it is by the commission
ordered that the defendant company
construct at Newport station building
adequate to the needs and wants Of
Newport. such station building to be
modern, containing two waiting rooms,
providing for running water and modern
flush toilets in each waiting room, all of
which shall be subject to the approval
of the commission, and if such plans are
not submitted as aforesaid, then the
defendant company begin the construc-
ton of such suitable and adequate depot
within 20 days from and after the date
of the service of this order upon it, and
have the same completed within tour
months from and after such date.
That such new station building and

Running Closer to Time

Train No, 43. westbound on the Great
Northern, the new train placed in COM
mission May %, has been very much
out of luck ever since it was placed on
the schedule, and not until Monday
morning of this week had the train ever
rolled into the Newport station on time.
Since Monday 43 has been running closer
to time and Great Northern officials re-
port that it will be more dependable
from this on. This is the through train
from Kansas City to the coast, routed
via Billings to Shelby, Mont, on the
Great Northern. A large part of the
delay on this train has been occasioned
by its having to do local work between
Shelby and Great Falls, Mont. A local
train having been placed on this run re-
lieves 43 and will save much time.
No. 43 now stops at both Elk and
Milan, which will render the service at
these points more satisfactory and make
it possible for Newport people to get to
these towns and back the same day.

WILL ERECT FINE BUILDING
New Power Company Has Plans
Ready to Build.
Be Completed in Three Months.

F. Y. Low, consulting engineer for II.
VI. Byllesby & Co.. OF Chicago, is in
Newport today, receiving estimates on
the laying OF the concrete foundation for
the new office building and sub-station
of the Northern Idaho & Montana Power
Co., to be built On the property they
recently acquired at the corner of Wash
ington avenue and Pine street.
Mr.. Low has with him the plans for
the building, an inspection of which
shows that the company expects to erect
a fine building, one with a capacity for
supplying the future as we'll as present
needs of the town.
The building is to be of brick, with
one-story part for Office purposes in
front. The length of the whole build
ing is to be 80 feet, with width of 25
feet. The one-story part will be A feet
deep. with an eight-foot basement un-
derneath. The two-story part in the
rear is to be of absolute fireproof con-
struction, not particle of wood being
used in it's construction, the floors to be
of cement, joists of steel and roof of
cement A good quality of facing brick
ls to be used on the two exposed sides,
with trimmings of cement and terra
Gotta.
The office room is to be equipped
with bank fixtures, display windows for
showing the latest electrical contrivan-
ces, fre-proof vault, and all modern
conveniences for the transaction of busi-
ness. The two-story part will house
the transformer equipment for the dis
tribution of the current brought in by
the high tension power line and is being
built large enough for trebling the cap
acity of the plant if necessary to keep
pace with the growth of the town. The
present installation will be suffici-
ent to furnish 700 horse power, more
than ample for present needs.
As soon as the basement and foun-
dation are completed contracts for the
main building will be let. 1t is expected
to have the building ready for the in
stallation of machinery by October l.,

the years the knabe house has
made them. and which never will
buy one again after this sale
closes.
A couple of Chickering's are
here also. Chickering, the name
which stands for all that is re-
fined, cultured and aristocratic in
pianos. Like the Knabe, the
Chickering always commands a
high price and is never sold at a
cut price. These couple may be
had under price-yes, way under
regular price. These two and
then-regular prices always.
Among the hundreds of pianos
we notice also a magnificent
Hardman Upright Grand in a rich
mahogany case of the Louis XVI
style. This piano seems to be al
most brand-new. 1t is one of the
art instruments of the Hardman
factory, and sells for 5000 regu-
larly. A famous piano and a
noble sample of the make. Think
of buying such wondrous bar
gain for only $375. When have
you ever had like chance?
Two Fischers-the old, reliable,
sweet-toned Fischers-but these
two are nearly new-are marked
at $1oo under their selling price.
And that bon-ton and blue-blood
old favorite, the Haines Bros, is
represented by a number of fine
new uprights selling for $1oo and
$15o below their worth. In used
pianos are represented the Weber,
the Wegman, the Stieff, the Vose,
Mason & Hamlin, Kranich &

known American make, priced
from 500 upward. on easy terms
without advance in price.

BUDGET ARoUsEs OPPOSITION.
Austria and Hungary Object to
Governments Demand.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
VIENNA, September Is. 1909.
The enormous demand of the budget for
naval and military expenditure have
reused great opposition both in Austria
and Hungary. According to the official
statement the cost Of annexation and pre-
paration for a Servian conflict reaches
the enormous sum Of $S0,O0O,OO0.
Even with a much smaller sum than
was first estimated for Dreadnoughts,
~. increased naval expenditure will
reach $14,2OO,COO.
The total demand for the services for
1910 is $16O. 100000. an enormous increase
on previous budgets
The Arbeiterze,tung calls the budget an
'insane program" which will immeas-
urably increase the politica! and financial
difficulties Of both countries.
The Zeit remarks: Count Aehrenthal
Is now having q bitter experience OF the
expenses Of his successful Balkan policy
The people Of Austria-Hungary refuse
payment
The so-called Austrian Bismarck"
adds the Zeit, fails to master the inner
difficulties Of the situation. He has no
comprehensive glance: only the usual
short-sightedness of the bureaucratic spe-
cialist.
The Hungarian press unanimously re-
fuses to accept the exorbitant demands
of the naval military budget.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
PARIS, September %, 1909.
Aviation, Of course, is the chief feature
of this Salon de rAeronautique, as it is
officially called.
Looking over the list of exhibitors, one
finds not only the leading aeroplane and
light motor consti uctors, but also the
manufacturers of all the material that
goes to make up flying machine The
Gnome, Renault, Antoinette Panhard and
other firms who have made the building
of light motors a speciality are now seen
side by side with special canvas or silk
manufacturers, or makers of propellers.~
A vast scheme of uniform deco alton
has been got up for the salon. One side
of the great central hall is devoted en-
tirely to the exhibition Of actual flying
machines. The corresponding side is oc-
cupied by the biggest display of light
motors ever seen.
In the center of the hall Is the "stand
d'honneur," in which the famous mono
plane of NJ. Bleriot. on which he crossed
the channel. Is exhibited. Above it. high
up near the dome. are the glorious re-
mains of the balloons which during the
siege of Paris succeeded in crossing the
enemy's lines.
