CUS|CK STILL ON THE MAP
The Town is Steadily Going
Forward.
News From the Calispell Valley

Cusick is steadily growing. New
business houses are being built and
the old ones painted and repaired.
Cusick is the central point of the
Calispel valley, and the best place
between Newport and lone for a
good town and that is what it is
bound to be, surrounded as it is by
everything that goes to make a
good town. 1t has the best saw
mill site on the river within forty
miles of Newport, being situated at
the mouth of the Calispel river.
We have good shingle mill less
than half a mile from town, a saw
mill in town and another about
two miles away. 1t is no fake
townsite either. We have no one
booming it to sell their property.
1t is just steady growth, building
up as there is demand, and there
certainly is a good demand for a
town here. as it is the central part
of the whole valley and has at
least three-fourths of the farming
district of the valley in closer prox-
imity to the town than it is to any
other would-be town in the valley.
The amount of freight business
paid in Cusick the past month was
over $500. This includes the freight
OF the business men only and does
not include any transient freight
or gravel trains.
f. A. Purchase is now occupvine
his new meat market. 1t is GER
tainly an attractive place and a
fine addition to our town.

Picnic luncheons-really restaurant
parties, at which each guest orders and
pays for herself-are the craze of the
moment Mother thinks the idea bar
barous, and one can readily under
stand that with her old time ideas of
hospitality the notion would be repug-
nant to ask n person to take n meal
with you and expect her to pay her
share of the bill. However, I'm these
independent times the old courteous
methods are brushed aside, and no.
body seems to think there is anything
odd about assembling a luncheon party
at which each guest orders what she
likes and pays for 1t. No two persons
in our party were eating the same
things. One woman who was on diet
ate digestive biscuits and drank q glass
of milk, another nuts and bananas, a
third roast lamb and peas, and so on.

other cities particularly in Europe. he
has evolved portable oil-asphalt melt
ing and fluxing plant that will revolu-
! tionize the work. The plant is the
| first of its kind i'm the world and will
attract the attention of highway en-
gineers throughout the United States.
It's cost is less than $1,000. and the
process to be used has been given a
thorough test.
Street Commissioner Travila in de-
scribing the new apparatus and the
| progress of road oiling said:
The oil-asphalt melting and nuxing port
able plant is a new departure in machin-
! cry for road treatment. After two years
! experience with light and heavy oils | be-
| came satisfied there was room for inn
provement by adding asphalt TO heavy oil
for road treatment and the result of this
investigation has brought about the con-
structionoof the portable plant.
There is no subject today which is being
discussed more frequently than methods
of improving our highways. The oiling OF
roads is making considerable progress in
the United States with good effect. but
much better results can be obtained by
the application of a layer Of hot oil-as-
phalt compound to the road surface. In
this way the road absorbs the mixture
and also forms a very solid coating and
strong binder for the, particles of sand
and the larger stone in the macadam
road, which carries the load.
The dust which usually results from the
wear of the road disappears, and at the
same time the natural expense of keeping
up the road is diminished. which more
than compensates for the cost Of the
process. This comes from the great re-
duction OF expense for sprinkling a road
and scraping the mud as well as from the
great durability of the roadbed.
The cost per square yard for treating
the road by the new process will vary
from Z cents to Ii cents. depending on
the amount of sand and asphalt used.
The plant consists of a melting and agi-
tation KETTLE an air pressure for fur
nishing compressed air for agtating
the oil-asphalt and for forcing it from
the kettle to sprlnkling wagon also
steam pump as an auxiliary for
pumping heavy oil from the tank car
to the melting kettle and a steam boil
er for furnishing steam for the opera
ton of the air pressure and steam
pump
The kettle has capacity of 1850
gallons and is divided tranversely into
two equal parts, one compartment be-
ing intended for melting and mixing
the oil-asphalt, the other for agitating
the oil-asphalt
The method of operation Is: The oil
asphalt compound is put in the kettle
and the mixture melted and agitated
from the low pressure reservoir to the
required temperature and consistency,
when it is drawn into the closed COM
partment and then delivered to the
sprinlIling wagon by means of an air
pressure. In the meantime another
batch is being heated and mixed in
the open compartment. One hours
time is required for heating and agi-
tating 1850 gallons.-St Louis Re

The Cynics.

Cynics was the name applied to a
school of philosophers founded by An
tisthenes. Il pupil Of Socrates. The
main tenet of the extreme cynics was
that civilization is curse. and true
happiness can be obtained only by
gratifying the most primary physical
appetites which man has in common
with brutes. The general attitude Of
the cynics MS distinguished from that
Of the stoicS. who regarded everything
in the external world with indiffer-
ence. was one of contempt. They were
not an important philosophical school
numerically. but attracted attention
largely by their eccentricities and inso-
lence. On account of their contempt
for refinemtnt their name came subse-
quently to he applied TO any one who
takes a mean view OF human life

D HOMAS H. BROADHEAD, former
chief of police and now holding
Il the position of captain in the po-
lice department, must face trial, sec
ond time for his shortcomings as a po-
lice officer, and this time before
tribunal that casts legal procedure
and red tape to the wind ana sets
down to facts. He must face the po-
lice commission September 70 at
O'Clock in the evening and show cause
why he should not be dismissed from
the police department. Until ne mas
shown such cause he must stand sus-
pended
He will not be tried, as he was in the
superior court, on the charge or re-
ceiying a bribe for protecting certain
houses in the "redlight" district, but
on charges of incompetency and neg
lect of duty, and most of the evidence
he gave in his own defense while on
trial for the more serious ottense VIII
be used against him in his trial before
the police commission.
He testified he did not know of the
existence of the redlight district ana
gambling, although his attention had
been called to it repeatedly, and be-
cause of his ignorance on these sub
iects he is charged with incompetency.
OR. knowing them and falling to en-
force the laws against them, he is
charged with neglect of duty. Proof
of either charge is sufficient to secure
his dismissal from the police force.
Formal Charges Preferred
Formal charges against Broadhead
were preferred last night before the
police commission by E. o. Edgerton,
secretary of the Municipal league, who
submitted the charges on behalf of the
organization. The charges were as
follows:
We, the undersigned, urge your
honorable body to remove Capt.
Thomas H. Broadhead from the po-
lice force for the reason that said
Broadhead was either incompetent
or neglectful OF his duty when, in
January of 1909, and while acting
rs chief Of police, he failed to sup
press or attempt to suppress gam
bling in this 0ty, Notwithstanding
that his attention was repeatedly
called to and evidence offered him
of the existence of such gambling.
