ANNOUNCEMENT
 WAS A SURPRISE
CHANGES ON SUPREME BENCH
Sam Frauenthal of Conway to be
 Associate Justice.
Appointment of Chief Justice Hill to ghtg Railway Cases Announced by
 Governor Donaghey.

A distinct surprise was created here this morning by the announce ment that Hon. Sam Frauenthal of Conway, one of the leading members of the state bar, is to be rendered the position of associate justice of the Arkansas supreme court.
 The vacancy on the bench which Mir. Frauenthal will asked to fill will be caused by the resig- nation of Chief Justice Joseph M. Hill to accept the position of chief counsel for the state in the fight against the railroaes. Associate Justice E. A. McCulloch, accord ing to an announcement by Gov ernor Donaghey, will be offered the chief justiceship, and MT. Frauenthal will in turn be ten dered the position of associate jus tice.
 The appointments, of course, hinge upon the acceptance by Chief Justice Hill of the work of leading the states battle with the railways. Judge Hill has not yet announced that he will accept the position, but, in an interview giv- en out last night, Governor Dona ghey stated that Judge Hill had in- dicated that he would accept. A definite announcement from him is not expected before Monday.
 The appointment was rendered to Judge Hill by Governor Dona- ghey and Attorney General Nor wood yesterday afternoon, the act appropriatipg $50, 900 to pay the costs of the railroad rate litigation having received the governors signature only short time before. The fact that Judge Hill would re- sign from the highest post of hon. or in the legal profession in this state to take up the fight, would, 1t is thought, lend dignity and prestige to the states side of the case.
 MT. Frauenthal Non-Committal
 When seen this morning MT. Frauenthal would not state whether he would accept the place of asso- ciate justice if it were rendered him. It is kown that his acceptance would mean a financial sacrifice, as the salary of the place is only s, ,ooo year, but MT, Frauen- thal's friends believe the honor at tached to it would lead him to ac- cept the position on the supreme bench, when it is rendered him. The matter took me entirely by surprise" said Mir. Frauenthal. 'I was in Little Rock yesterday on business matter and called to pay my respects to the governor late in the afternoon, and it was then that Governor Donaghey first informed me of his intention to make the appointment in case the vacancies suggested should occur. "
 MT. Frauenthal has been prac- ticing law in this city practically ever since he entered the profes- sion and has been very successful as an attorney. He is senior member of the firm of Frauenthal & Robins, which partnership was formed two years ago. For many years he has been a close friend of Governor Donaghey, who, in an interview published this morning, speaks in high praise of MT. Frauenthal's legal attain ments and qualifications.

Women Can Frequent Idaho Saloons

In quashing two cases against saloon
men Judge Dunn in effect held uncon-
stitutional the enactment of the last
legislature making it misdemeanor for
saloonkeepers to allow women in bar
rooms. H. ]. Mcdonald and Louis Mars,
of Newport, and Charles Gholson and
John Larson, of Newport, were indicted
by the grand jury on charges of allow
ing women in their saloons Attorney
H. H. Taylor moved the court to quash
the indictments upon the ground that
the recent enactment was contrary to
the constitution, inasmuch as the con-
stitution gives the same rights to women
as to men. Judge Dunn held that the
contention was well taken and quashed
the indictments upon the ground adj
yanced by Mr.. Taylor.-Sandpoint Re-
view.

River Notes

The steamer Metaline will begin run
ming Box Canyon within the next few
days. The boat will run from Metaline
to lone and connect with the boats of
the Pend Oreille River Navigation Co.
The steamer Spokane's crew has had
busy week of it besides making her
regular trips. One day they were called
to pull the houseboat Lillian off the
ground in the vicinity of Sullivan. The
Lillian is the houseboat owned by Tay-
lor, the ferryman, who has been run
ming the ferry across the river at New
port until the tree ferry was established.
Taylor started down the river with the
boat, with lone as his ultimate destina-
ton. He tied up one night and the
next day his boat was on dry land.
The Ruth became disabled last Friday
and the Spokane relieved her of her
passengers and brought them TO this
port. 1t is understood that there was
something wrong with the machinery on
the Ruth.
Capt. Jim Stewart, of the Defender,
plying on Lake Pend Oreille. is in Port
land. The Defender has been taken off
the Standpoint Priest River run and will
be used on the lake as an excursion
boat in the future.
A barge load of poles, moored near
Yocum, got away one day last week and
drifted down to Tamarack bar below
Crescent, where the barge sank. Capt.
LcClerc, of the steamer Spokane, raised
the barge Sunday, losing but a few
poles.
A barge being loaded with gravel for
the concrete work on the Blueslide tun-
mel sank in ten feet of water at the rail-
road bridge across the Calispel river
Saturday. The gravel was being dumped
f.om railway cars on the bridge onto the
barge and too big load for the capacity
of the barge was placed on it.
Capt. Jim Stewart returned from
Portland on Wednesday. 1t is expected
that he will assume command of the
steamer Ruth within few days. Capt.
Stewart was in Portland to pass another
examination and stood the ordeal in fine
shape, and now has license to run any
sized boat ia any inland waters on either
| coast.
Considerable complaint has been made
recently regarding the free ferry service
| at this point. Parties claim that they
are frequently held on one shore or the
other for nearly an hour at time. On
Wednesday afternoon team was held
on the opposite shore for nearly an hour.
| The tug Defender had another run of
bad luck near Blueslide Monday. She
was taking down to the tunnel barge
load of gravel for the concrete work and
found the current at the Slide too swift.
The barge and the tug were carried onto
| rock bar and had to await the arrival

Justice of the Peace Woods, of Priest
River, was a Newport visitor on We'd
nesday. The judge is spending most OF
his summer vacation fishing at various
resorts in his vicinity.
Another case of rolling occurred on
Tuesday night IN the lumber yards lust
back of the main street. A railroad la
borer lost his shoes, hat and what money
he had on his person. An attempt was
also made to relieve the man of a new
mackinaw that he had purchased. He
made fight to regain his property, but
was knocked down and badly bruised
for his trouble.
Things are gradually resuming their
old air around the lower end of town.
The music floats through the air at all
times of the day.
Albert Peterson expects to leave for
Troy, Mont, in few days to prosecute
development on the Gray Eagle Mining
Co.'s property, in which he is ore of the
principal stockholders.
Frank McGoogan, formerly one of the
proprietors of the McGoogan & Murchi-
son dance hall and saloon, was in New
port on Wednesday. He is now engaged
In operating dance hall and saloon in
Wardner, Idaho.
Clinton Amsbaugh, son of William
Amsbaugh, who has been sick for some
time with complication of diseases, is
reported as being much better.
A railroad laborer who had lust re.
turned from Blueslide, where he had
been working for some time, was rolled
for over 500 on Monday night. He
claims to have been drinking in one Of
the resorts and thinks that he was given
knockout drops.

Spokane, July &c, 1909.

Spokane, July 26, 1919.
To the Editor of the Newport Miner.
What is it in prohibition that seems
to sour the disposition and put on edge
the temper of it's advocates? We rarely
find a prohibitionist who is able to dis
cuss the liquor question with anything
like good temper or a judicious and
charitable frame of mind. He may
start peacefully enough, but presently
he falls into rhetoric, violence, hysteria
and indifference and vindictiveness and
bitterness. Is it because of an uncon-
scious longing, vague sense OF depriva-
ton? Or is it the uneasy sense, a kind
of suppressed fear, of not being exactly
and completely right. causing an in
stinctive attempt to drown conscience
with clamor? Is it too deep question
in metaphysics for the ordinary man to
tackle? But we cannot help noting the
fact that few prohibitionlsts seem able
to control their tempers or their use OF
language. Yet they include many men
and women of high purpose and dispo-
sition naturally sweet and genial. 1t IS
the history of humanity, VIC believe,
that the moment men begin to under
take the regulation by force of con-
sciences, conduct and loves of their
fellow-men they become bigoted and
intolerant 1t Is a discouraging tact of
the pending discussion that the servants
of the "evil one' and "foes of human
ity" seem to be temperate, fair, peaceful
and good-humored, while fury and vlo-
lence abide with the saints. Truly yours,
FRED SCHADE,
President. of the Second Ward Civic
Improvement Club, Spokane, Wash.
