Scotland and Horse Racing.

Scotland has been famous for Its horses from the most ancient days. When Agricola defeated the Caledo. nians at the battle of the Grampfans. A. D. 84, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus relates, were exceptionally strong in cavalry and charioteers. Successive kings of Scotland did much to improve its native breed of horses, and in this connection it is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng land, James l., did more to improve the race horses in our island than was ever done before him or has ever been done by any individual since. James I. was the real author of horse racing as it has since been known in England. He 1t was who first established regu- lar courses, and during his reign there came into being the code of regula- tons that led up to the modern laws of the turf. Nobody denies that horse racing has done much for the breed of British horses It was a gift from Scotland.-London Answers.

Sixina Up Bernard Shaw.

Bernard Shaw Is thus fmmortaIizcd by Charles Hawtrey, the well known English comedian: "Once on g tfms I had a mad desire to produce Shaw's play of You Never Can Tell wrote to Shaw and asked his permission. He answered that he would come and read 1t to me- He did and began by saying that sometimes he thought 1t was the best play that ever was writ ten and at others he considered 1t the greatest trash. Anyhow. he was of opinion that it was pretty poor play and that if I produced it-well, must take the consequences. Some time afterward I asked Shaw If could compress the last act. He declined to pllow one line to be altered or cut out. In view of certain contingencies had at last to tell him that couldn't pro- duce the play. His answer was: Thank you so much. You have taken a great load off my min1,' Now. what are you to do with a man like that? ?"- Minneapolis Journal

A Very Restfui Rest.

Adolf Menzel, the German artist. was Tt one time engaged on a mural deco ration. He had rigged up scafold!ns in his studio. on which his model was renuested to stand. For two long hours the poor poseur stood up aloft in a most fatiguing posture. Menzei fin the meantime worked at his sketch. needless of the fact that his model was growing tired.
 At length the model found 1t neces- sary to speak. Herr professor" said he. "how about a recess:"
 Menzel apoogized profusely for his forgetfulness. Certainly, certainly, my dear sir" said be. "Come down and rest yourself bit"
 The model had clambered from the scaffoldIng to the ladder, which led flown from 1t to the studio floor.
 "Stop." cried the artist suddenly sThat pose is fine. Don't move mus. cle!'
 And once more the model was forced into strained riyidity, while the enthu siastic draftsm an set about sketchIns him.
 At the end of half an hour Menzel looked up from his work "There," ]" said he; .that will do nicely! Get back on the scaffold. We have had our rest. Let us get back to work again"
 What the model said Is left to the readers ina gination.

The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1909-05-13

A large number of Newport people
were in the city this week with a Pc
tition asking that a separate judicial
district be created on the east side with
the range for the division point and the.
place for holding court at Newport. The
petition bore about 500 signatures, and
we learn that the district will likely be
created, as there is no disposition on the
part OF the people of Colville to throw
any obstruction in the way OF the prop
ostion. The people Of Newport pro-
pose to provide place for holding court
free of charge to the county, and cases
arising from the Newport country will
be tried at Newport, thereby saving the
trouble and expense of a long trip to
Colville. A separate jury will also be
drawn in that district. In the matter
of saving expense, however, the saving
will not amount to great deal, but as a
matter of accommodation to the people
of the east side the proposition has some
merit. However the matter may be
decided by the commissioners, the PEG.
Pile OF Colville will say we'll and good

When You Build
local chnl

The Miracle double air space concrete
building block is without doubt tho best
building material that has ever been put
on the market. Mr. A. I. Miracle. of
Minneapolis. is the inventor OF the block.
There have been many attempts to imi-
tate the air space feature Of this block,
but all have failed, as the block is pat
ented. and OF course the rights to make
this block have to be secured from the
company direct. In view OF the good
block they make they charge double
what any other manufacturer charges
for their machines to make the blocks
with. In Spokane there are at least
half dozen block manufacturers max.
ing cement building blocks. But the
concern selling the most blocks is the
Spokane Concrete Co. They use the
Miracle double air space block. All of
our blocks are cured by the steam cure
process, which has been found by ex-
perts to make the best block The
warm, moist steam penetrates the block
and it is cured with an even tempera-
ture, which is impossible where the
blocks are sprinkled with cold water
and sometimes parts of the blocks
missed. As to price, we can make you
any price blocks that you want. A
cheap block will not have as much CO.
ment in it as good block. We compete
with lumber, brick and stone. Our new
plant, which will be finished this week,
is the most up-to-date plant in the state
Of Washington Or Idaho. If you are
thinking Of building call for Charles F.
Or aig at the First National Bank.

Mining News

While making a deep cut on the DR..
Mauzy property, on which the Eagle
and Skookum mining properties are To-
Gated about two miles below Newport,
the men employed by f. Morrissey in
constructing the extension OF the Idaho
& Washington Northern, exposed vein
OF ore. The ledge is similar in character
to the ledge in the Eagle claim of which
it is an extension. The ore values, galena
and silver, run high in both claims. The
Skookum was located last winter by the
Waterman bros. Of Newport and PEN
rith. Considerable work was done on
the claim for time but the work was
stopped pending the decision OF the land
department as to the validity OF DR..
Mauzy's title to the property.
John Bettancourt. OF Metaline, has
bonded the Iron Trunk claim in the
Metaline district to James Dougherty, OF
Metaiine, for the sum OF $4,000. Mr..
Dougherty will put shift of men on the
property at once and begin development
work.
Messrs. Ries l. Waterman, owner, of
the old Katydid claim, now known as
the Eagle, have selected some very fine
specimens OF ore from this property for
exhibition at the A.-Y p. exposition at
Seattle. The specimens are now on ex-
Inhibition in front of Mr.. Ries' place of
business.
