WASHINGTON, July 19.-Lack
of practical and commercial unity
in the entire inland water system
of the United States is the principal
text of part l of the report on
transportation by water, now sub
mitted to the president by Herbert
Knox Smith, commissioner of cor
porations of the department of COM
merce and labor The commission
er delutes in his letter of transmit
tai upon the facts that while the
United States has altogether total
of about $500 miles of river naviga-
tion of six feet depth and over, and
more than 1000 miles of canals,
these totals are broken up into a
large number of unrelated parts by
reason of different depths and diff
ferent conditions, and that the di-
verse nature of the floating equip
ment increases this lack of organi-
zation. Many vessels are built for
special traffic or local conditions,
and are thus often not interchange
able" over different. even though
connecting, routes. In general, the
commissioner shows primarily th5

COURT ON EAST SIDE
Commissioners Have Authority
to Establish Districts.
Plans Are Now Under Way

The late Legislature passed d Law
which permits the county commission
ere, with the approval OF the superior
Judge, to divide the county into iudicia
districts. when the amount of cour
work arising in a certain district vii
warrant such action. A deputy county
clerk and deputy county sheriff are
appointed to take care of the businesso
such district. In this event all cases
arising in one of the districts must be
tried by resident jurors, and the result
of all the deliberations certified to the
the clerk at the county seat
This law goes into effect June 18th
and as many people believe that the
best interests OF Stevens county woulC
be subserved by establishing such 8
district in the eastern part of the county
the commissioners are considering the
adyisability of such an order.
The matter has progressed to the
point that the commissioners on receiv.
Ing petition to that effect from this
side of the county will take up the prop.
osition at the May meeting. In order
to secure the judicial district it will be
necessary for the furnishing OF room
and proper equipment for the holding
of court and room for an Office for
the deputy county clerk.
1t is believed that with the amount Of
litigation already arising on this side OF
the county and with the increase that is
sure to come with the present rapid de-
yelopment of this section. that the
county will enjoy considerable saving
by holding court at Newport, to say
nothing of the sums that will be saved
litigants in mileage now paid on wit
nesses to the county seat.
Steps have been taken for the circu-
lation of petitions on this side
of the county for the establishment of
the district. and arrangements have also
been started looking toward the provid-
ing OF the needed court facilities. The
Commercial Club and Town Council are
working together on the matter and it
hoped to have it in shape to place be-
fore the commissioners at the May
session.

apples will do we'll here in the opinion
of Mr.. Stewart.
Mr.. Stewart has been in the orchard

apples W III III We'll iictc III INC op'nio"
of Mr. Stewart.
Mr.. Stewart has been in the orchard
business in the Yakima valley since
1892. He has served as president OF the
Washington State Horticultural Asso-
citation, and has acquired reputation
as one Of the best posted men in the
business in the state His orchard at
Prosser last year netted him SS25 per
acre, and for the past six years has pald
10 per cent on vanation Of $4,000 per
acre.
The Judgment OF Mr.. Stewart and
other men from the older districts of
the state. who have recently visited this
section with view to investigating or
chard prospects, cannot fall TO be en-
couraging to the men who are Investing
their money ard deyoting their time to
the development of this country. The
Newport Washington Land Co. last year
spent in the neighborhood OF SIS, 900 in
the development of Cedar Park orchards
and will spend as much this year. At
present crew of So men is employed,
operating with a donkey engine and
gasoline stump burning outfit clearing
the land and cultivating for planting.
Five thousand trees are being pla nted
this year
Mr.. Stewart is firmly convinced that
the expenditure is fully justified by re-
suits already achieved, and that the
future of the district as an apple coun-
try is assured.
The success of the project means
much to the town of Newport, as it is
only the beginning OF similar projects in
this immediate vicinity and throughout
the Pend Oreille valley.
