There are no better opportuni-
ties for success than are presented
by the diversified and undeveloped
resources of the Pend Oreille val
ley. Newport is the gateway.
Spirit Lake the Winner

The Newport ball team went to Spirit
Lake Sunday, and despite the fact that
some of the players were unable to go
and shift in positions was necessary,
came very near winning the game. the
final score being to 3 in favor of the
lake city.
As it was the lake boys were given a
good scare and made to play the game
for all there was in it. In the eighth
inning the score stood to l in favor of
Newport, when to add to our troubles
ABE Martin was put out of the game
by breaking a bone in his ankle while
sliding to second.
The pitching OF Rosenburrough was
easily the feature of the game. He
scored twelve stlike-outs and permitted
but four hits. Spirit Lakes pitcher was
credited with seven strike-outs and al
lowed seven hits.
Sunday. May %, the Spirit Lake boys
will be here for return game and our
boys will try to return the compliment.

Gathering Photographic Views

Frank Palmer, of Spokane. the best
known outdoor Photographic artist in
the Northwest. has spent several days
along the line of the Idaho & Washing
ton Northern, getting views for the en-
bellishment of advertising matter for
this section.
Mr.. Palmer arrived in Newport from
the lower river country Sunday after
noon. During his stay in this CITY he se-
cured some snap shots which he says will
produce some Of the finest pictures he
has ever taken He visited Silver Birch
Farm and took several pictures showing
the development work in progress there
and stated that although he has visited
many sections of the Northwest, he has
seen np farm land that looked better or
gave promise of better results than does
Silver Birch. He will return to Silver
Birch later in the season and expects to
get some very fine views when the crops
are more matured.
From the point of the hill he secured
bird d's-eye view Of the town, which
will be reproduced on postal card and
placed on sale. He also took pictures OF
the Fidelity mill, business streets of the
town and ''The Pines,' the Ernst place
across the river.

APPLEMAN FOR LEGISLATURE
Announces His Candidacy For
Republican Nomination.
Is Well Qualified For The Place.

8. ]. Apple'nan. of Newport, has de-
cided to enter the lists for the Repub-
lican nomination for representative from
Stevens county, at the primaries to be
held in September.
Mr.. Appleman was candidate two
years ago, but failed to receive the nom-
ination, as the vote was split by null
tiplicity of candidates and the west side
got both. This year chances are more
favorable for a candidate from this side,
as it is generally recognized that Eastern
Stevens is entitled to representation and
there is disposition to see fair play
given 1t.
On account OF the creditable run he
made two years ago the friends of Mr.. APP
pleman deem him to be the logical man to
make the run. He is a progressive Re-
publican aud in favor of the policies of
the administration of Gov. Hay. go far
as they have been developed. Formerly
a school teacher. he has had training
and education that qualify him for the
position, and his later experience as
successful business man would further
stand him In good stead and enable him
to give good service to the county.
He is public-spirited and takes an
active part in all movements for the de-
veloping OF the country. His time is
always at the disposal OF any public
movement, and at the present time he
is president of the Newport Commercial
Club.
That he would make coed represen-
tative and that his experience and ac-
quaintance gained in the campaign of
two years ago would prove of great help
to him in securing the nomination, IS
the belief of his friends, and he can be
assured of strong support on both sides
Of the county.
