BALL PLAYERS sUFFOcATED
Two of Sandpoint's Team Killed
by Gas Fumes.
Played at Newport On Sunday

The death of two members of the
Standpoint ball team that played in
Newport Sunday has saddened our sister
city and occasioned much regret in New
port over the untimely fate of the young
men.
The ball team made the trip to New.
port in gasoline launch as far as AL
beni Falls, thence by team to this city.
About 7:15 p. m. the launch started
from the Falls on the return trip. As
time wore on the air became cool and
several of the boys retired to the toilet
in the rear of the boat in order to keep
warm. D. Riches, Arthur Flynn and
Harold Pellens first secured room there,
but as Fred Gardner was more lightly
clad Riches gave up his seat to Gardner.
The three then locked the door to pre-
vent the others from coming in to dis
turb them.
Tbs boys were not molested until after
the docks at Standpoint were reached,
when the captain of the boat called to
them to get out. Getting no response
he broke into the room and found Gard
ner and Pellens dead and Flynn all but
dead. Medical help was got as soon as
possible for Flynn and he was revived.
When discovered Gardner had evidently
been dead but short time, while Pei
lens had passed away some time before.
The testimony of the three physicians
at the inquest held Monday was almost
identical, all agreeing that death had
resulted from carbon monoxide. It is
believed that while the boat was running
at full speed the burned gasoline was
left in the rear and failed to reach the
compartment occupied by the boys, but
that when darkness overlook the party
and it was necessary to run the boat
considerably slower that the wind, blow
ing as it did in the same direction as the
boat was travelling. carried the carbonic
gases back into the boat where the oc-
cupants were seated. The gas is heavier
than the air, and naturally when it en-
tered the rear portion of the boat it set
tied to the aoor where the Pellens boy
was seated. This story is greatly

due to the heavy SHOWS of the winters.
Mr.. Eakle finds that his appointment
to the work in Stevens comfy has open
ed his eyes to marvellous resources and
opportunities in all lines. That Stevens
county has greater variety of resources
than any other county in this favored
state, but that its development has only
begun. Those of US who live here are
apt to underestimate the openings before
our eyes and are tempted by the lure OF
other fields to wander forth, but the fact
remains that intelligent effort will bring
as great reward right in this vicinity az
anywhere in the Pacific Northwest.

Mix-Up Over Road

At the present time the road between
the ferry landing opposite Newport and
Albeni Falls is in very bad condition. At
the time the Fidelity mill was built a
change of road was agreed upon by the
county commissioners and the mill COM
pany, whereby the road was moved back
from the river front so as not to inter-
fere with milling operations. A tempor-
ary road was laid out through the Fidel-
ity yards,> but as this was not intended
for permanent road no effort has been
made to improve. The permanent road,
as laid out and accepted by the county
commissioners, crosses the railroad spur
near the mill and runs north Iof the
spur to Alneni Falls, cutting out very
dangerous grade crossing at the opening
to deep cut.
However, residents of the Albeni Falls
section have been dissatisfied with the
proposed road north of the railroad, and
nothing can be done until some agree
ment is reached. County Commissioner
Finstad was Newport visitor Monday,
and said the commissioners were pre-
pared to put in road and improve it as
soon as they could determine what the
people want. The Fidelity company
will 6x up the road as far as it runs
through their yards, and the county the
rest Of the way as soon as the matter of
location is decided.

SUGGESTS COUNTY DIVISION
lone Record Believes Time Has
Come to Act.
East Side Is Fast Developing

Since the first attempt at county di-
vision was made four years ago there has
been no organized movement to that
end, but owing to the many inconven-
fences of the present arrangement there
could not help but be considerable quiet
discussion as to the advisability OF set
ting off the east side of Stevens into a
separate county.
The principal objections urged against
division four years ago were lack of pop
ulation and assessed valuation. In the
time that has intervened the Pend
Oreille valley has become the scene Of
the greatest development activities in
Eastern Washington. The railroad has
been built and placed in operation and
the largest industries in this part of the
state have been established. Large
areas of land are being cleared and
brought into cultivation, and diking
projects for the reclamation of the Cal
ispel valley are under way.
Therefore it is natural that thoughts
should turn to the subject of securing
relief from present conditions. w. A.
Logue, editor of the lone Record, opens
the question anew for discussion and
summarizes the situation as follows:
From time to time the Record has
called attention to the matter of county
division. There can be no question that
the time is ripe for the division of Stew
ems county. The county is large and
cumbersome and Colville, the county
seat, is very inconveniently situated for
the majority. and especially for the
Pend Oreille valley. geographically
the county naturally divides on range
of mountains running northerly and
southerly, leaving the valley of the Pend
Oreille in the east side or eastern county
So rapidly has the Pend Oreille valley
been developed with the advent of the /.
& w. N. railroad, 80 rapidly has the
population grown that we of the east
side are entitled to county government
of our own. There is now more than
ample assessed valuation within the
valley to more than satisfy the law in
the matter of division and creation of

WILL Be GREAT FRUIT SECTION
Horticultural Inspector Visited
Newport Orchards
Finds Conditions Very Favorable

J. C, Eakle, recently appointed horti-
cultural inspector for Stevens and Ferry
counties. was a Newport visitor last
Wednesday and Thursday. This was
Mr.. Eakle's first visit to Eastern Stevens
county, and he was unable to put in as
much time here as he would like, but
he proposes to soon make trip that
will thoroughly cover the Pend Oreille
valley in this county.
In company with ]. NJ. Mcdonald, of
this city, who has served as deputy hor-
ticultural inspector for several years,
and who has been continued in that
capacity by Mr.. Eakle, he visited Silver
Birch Orchards, the largest commercial
orchard on this side of the county.
Mr.. Eakle made q thorough inspection
of the 100 acres Of winter apples set out
on Silver Birch Hill, and was greatly
pleased with the development work that
is going on. He expressed his approval
of the work being doue, and reported
himself as being firmly of the opinion
that the growing of a good commercial
| apple in this section is assured OF suc-
cess. and that in time the fruit business
would be the leading industry Of this
section.
Himself successful apple grower in
the Wenatchee country, Mr.. Eakle says
he is surprised at the natural advantages
of Stevens county and the manner in
which residents of this section fail to
avail themselves of the opportunities
laying at their doors. He believes that
within few years Silver Birch Orchards
will have completely demonstrated the
Pend Oreille valley as fruit country,
and that the results that will be achieved
here will Get a pace that will induce
many others to enter the field and build
up big, profitable industry.
The growth Of the 2-year-old trees,
Mr.. Eakle said, was not surpassed by
any other district of )the state that he is
familiar with. He found the orchards
remarkably free from pests and per
centage of young trees that are winter
killed less than in most other districts
of the state. fact which is doubtless

new counties. The Pend Oreille valley
is an empire of itself.

new counties. The Pend Oreille valley
is an empire of itself.
Of course. the question of county seat
arises. In our opinion the county seat
of the new county should be at lone. It
is altogether probable that the Newport
people have slight impression that the
new county seat should be at Newport.
while Metaline Falls, the new town on
Sullivan creek, may have aspirations.
Again, the question Of temporary
county seat, to be named in the enabling
act. arises. It is probable We all feel
that our town is just about It for the
temporary county seat also.
Now the thing to be done is to lay all
jealousy or ambitions aside. and every
body get in and pull for division of the
county. A temporary county seat must
be named in the enabling act. The
Record is in favor of allowing Newport
to be named as the temporary county
seat in the enabling act. Now, don't let
the Newport people think that we are
going to pull for her for the permanent
county seat, for we are not. We are
going to scrap her to the eternal finish.
because we think lone is the proper
place for the permanent county seat.
We know that temporary county seat
must be named in order to start the
ball. We are willing to give Newport
that much advantage in the race. and if
she wins out in the race for the perma-
nent county seat, let her 60 to it. We
would rather have the county seat at
Newport than at Colville.
Can't we get together and get an en-
abling act through this coming session
of the legislature?
It is now stated that the /. g. w. N.
railway Co. is going to fill in the trestle
at Calispel river up to the low water
banks. Then the diking district will
only have to put in flood gate at that
point to keep the high waters of the
Pend Oreille river from overfowing the
land of district No. g. This will make
very much less expense foI the district.
