Stevens County's Good Credit

The people of Stevens county are to be
congratulated on their excellent credit.
as demonstrated by the recent sale of
1920, 900 county funding bonds at,4a per
cent, with premium of $11e0. This fine
showing must be particularly pleasing
to pioneers who recall time. after the
panic of 1898, when their county war
rants fell to less than so cents on the
dollar
Stevens county is a broad domain
extraordinarily varied in topography
and natural resources. 1t is doubted if
any other county in the United States
could exhibit greater multiplicity o
products, including agriculture, dairy
ing, live stock, mining, marble, fruit
growing and numbering. The county
has, too, vast undeveloped water power
and is easily capable of supporting many
times its present populatlon.-Spokes-

METAu|NE EXTENSION ASSURED
Work to be Completed by June,
First, 1910.
Great Northern Trains Wrecked

Railroad men connected with the
Idaho & Washington Northern state that
a contract has been signed up with
Grant Smith & Co., for the construction
of the grade for the extension of the
road from lone to Sullivan Creek in the
Metaline mining district. Work is to
be started as soon as possible, and it is
hoped to have the extension in opera
ton by June /.
The railroad is now in the market for
the purchase of 10000 ties to be used in
the construction of the extension. The
road will cross to the east side of the
Pend Oreille river at the north end of
Box Canyon, with span 250 feet long
and 30 feet above high water. Material
TO, the bridge has already been ordered,
and the steel for the line is stored at
Spirit Lake.
The construction of this extension will
give great impetus to the mining in
dustries of the Metaline district, which
have lain dormant for years on account
of the lack of transportation facilities.
In addition it will reach the new cement
plant, the water power plant for which
is now in construction along Sullivan
creek. The plant, which is to cost 81, ,000,
600, will have capacity of 2000 barrels
of cement day, which will furnish a
large tonnage for the new railroad. The
combined tonnage of the timber, min
eral and cement industries viii! provide
profitable business for the |. & w. n,
and the development of these industries
will bring prosperous times to the Pend
Oreille valley.
Robert McInnis and large crew Of
men have started the work of construct
ing camps along the extension of the L.
& w. N. 1t is understood that he will
also have charge of the clearing of the
right-of- Wy for the extension.
The presence of Great Northern sur

iously published in The MINER that the

SUDDEN DEATH OF A PIONEER
w. M. Booth Expired Sunday
Evening.
Young Man DIED Near Dalkena

William Booth, better known through
out the Pend Oreille valley as ''Tamar-
ack," died at the residence of DR.. J. I.
Phillips last Sunday evening. Death
resulted from an asthmatic attack.
Mr.. Booth, who had been residing in
Newport since disposing of his ranch in
the Priest Lake country, went to DR..
Phillips residence to seek medical as
sistance. While the doctor was attend
ing to his patient and within Is minutes
after he had arrived at the house, "Tam
arack" was dead. He had been suffer
ing from asthma and heart trouble for
some time, and the attack Of the asthma
probably affected the hearts action.
"Tam" was born in the east and re-
moved to the Newport country about Is
years ago. For several years he operated
a draw line in Old Town, and later took
up ranch about As miles down the
river at what is known as Tamarack
Point. He remained there several years
and then returned to Newport and
formed partnership with G. A. Fielder
in the saloon business. They afterward
erected the Antler hotel and conducted
business there until about the time the
building was removed to its present site,
when he sold out to Mr.. Fielder. About
two years ago he purchased a ranch be-
tween Priest River and the lake, and
went east and brought his son and wife
from Michigan to live with him. The
sons wife died and the son returned
east, and Mr.. Booth traded the ranch to

AFFECTS DOWN RIVER SETTLERS
Secretary Ballineer Temporarily
Withdraws Lands.
Status of Water Rights Involved

An order dated Dec 4 has been issned
by Secretary R. A. Ballinger withdraw
ing from settlement all land on both
sides of the Pend Orellle river within
one-half mile of the river, between
Crescent and the Canadian boundary. a
distance of 80 miles. All settlers who
have taken up lands along the river be-
tween these points will be unable to
prove up until congress has passed legis-
lation affecting their property.
All of the land in question is outside
the Kaniksu National Forest, with the
exception of portion lying on the east
side OF the river between Metaline and
the border.
The reason assigned for this is that
the department desires to have the
status of the holders of the waterpower
rights on the Pend Oreille river defined
before other entanglements arise.
The Washington Water Power Co., a
Spokane corporation, controls the rights
at present, having secured them by spe-
cial act of congress- 1t is stated that
only two such rights have been granted
by act OF congress, and it is possible
that these grants may not be legal.
Two large falls are located in the river
below Metaline, and if dams were con-
structed to utilize the water there it
would affect The lands withdrawn and
those not yet proved up on. by causing
the Dackwater to flood them.
These falls can be developed to pro-
duce over 100000 horsepower. The
Metallne falls are located just below the
town of that name. The other is the
"Z" falls, so called on account of their
shape, which are but two miles from
the Canadian boundary. The power
available at the latter falls is the great
est and most reliable.
From Metaline to the British Colum-
bia boundary Is distance of IA miles,
and the river has fall of over 400 feet
in that distance. At many other points
below Metaline there are sites where
the water could be- utilized and smaller
units of power developed.
At Newport the river is 1900 feet wide
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1909-12-23

at the ordinary stage. AtSavage's place,
near ~" falls, the canyon is but l8
feet wide, and the water seems to rush
through the canyon there as if it was on
edge. There are but two places in the
district where the most expert oarsmen
can cross the stream in boat. At
many OF the narrow places trees have
been felled across the stream.
Experts have stated that nearly one
quarter Of the available water power in
the state of Washington is to be found
in the Pend Oreille river between Albeni
Falls. at Newport, and the British Col.
umbia line.
About one-third of the settlers who
have located their ranches on the river
in the district now withdrawn, have not
proven up. Only small lots and frac-
tions of sections remain to be filed on at
present. In most places the banks of
the river are too high for the land to be
affected by backwater, excepting in the
time of summer floods, when damage
would be done by the banks caving into
the stream.
There has been considerable agitation
recently regarding the holding of such
valuable water rights by corporations
and others who fail to improve them for
their benefit and the benefit of the coun-
try adjacent. The power grant in ques-
ton has not been improved in any man.
ner by the Washington Water Power
people. Nearly every year they send
party down the river ard do little
surveying, but the work stops there.
The Washington Water Power Co. has
secured the rights to use the water, but
it is understood that it has not secured
power sites along the stream, and it may
be that this order is to conserve the
rights of the public by preventing the
company from obtaining these rights at
the points desired.
