built the depot in anticipation of future
needs, and that it's expectation was that
the town would grow in population and
wealth to warrant the large expenditure
made by the road at this point. Mr.
Chesters remarks were we'll received
and literally applauded.
Mr.. w. w. Kleckner. local agent of
the Great Northern. who introduced Mr..
Chester and the other Great Northern
officials, who are men OF works rather
than of words and desired to be left off
the program, then TUNED the program
over to the Commercial Club. S j.
Appleman, president of the club. re-
sponded to the sentiments expressed by
Mr.. Chester, and expressed the appre-
citation of the people of the spirit mani
tested by the road in dealing so literally
with our town in the matter of depot
facilities
E. S. Appel, former. mayor and presi~
dent of the board of education, and Rev.
F. E. Whitman, pastor Of Hope Congre-
gational church, two public speakers Of
whoa Newport may we'll feel proud
aptly set forth the spirit of the commun-
ity in appreciation of the Great North
ern's attitude toward the town.
Vocal solos by Miss Ethel Slack and
music by the Spokane Novelty Orchestra
furnished the musical part of the pro-
gram and delighted the audience.
A souvenir booklet. issued by the
Commercial Club, was distributed, con-
tanning Photographic reproduction and
description of the new depot, and illus
trating and pointing out some Of the re-
sources and advantages of the town and
tributary territory.
At the conclusion of the program those
present inspected the new building and
a dance was given in the freight room,
which was largely attended.
A smoker and lunch was rendered the
visiting officials at the Antler Hotel by
the Comm ercial Club, during which the
good fellowship existing between the
town and the represe natives of the rail-
road was further Gem ented,
The new depot cannot fail to prove
great advertisement for Newport, as its
attractive appearance will catch the eye
of all travellers on the transcontinental
trains, and give them the impression
that a community worthy of such facili-
ties must be of considerable Importance.
The building has been turned over to

Newport Proud of New Building

Tuesday. Dec. 6. the date of the dedi-
cation Of the new Great Northern depot
at Newport, marks another step in the
dpveIopment of the town and it's pro-
oress toward the commanding position
to which it is entitled by virtue
of its l. cation and the wealth of tribu-
tary resources.
The dedication OF the new depot was
held under the auspices Of the CONNER
cial Club, and the arrangements made
hv officials of the club were carried out
in a very successful manner. A general
invitation had been extended to the citi-
zens of the town to participate, and they
responded to the extent that the spa
cous waiting rooms were able to accom-
modate but portion of those desiring
admittance.
Greet Northern officials representing
the road at this important function were
E. L. Brown, general superintendent /;
/. W. Bowen, superintendent; w. A.
Ross, assistant general passenger agent !;
.. :. Bowen. district engineer; L. E.
Chester, district attorney J. G, Maher,
troveling freight agent; j. J. Scherr,
travelling passenger agent.
The program of the evening was begun
by an address of welcome, Mayor Lutz,
in betalf of the CITY, extending greet
ing to the distinguished railroad men
who graced the occasion by their pres
ence, and to all citizens of the town and
vicinity who had assem- hled to partici
pate. District Attorney L. F. Chester,
of Spokane. acted as spokesman for the
railroad, and formally turned the build
ing over to the people of Newport for the
use of the public. Mr. Chester, in his
address, told of the difficulties encoun-
tered in the building and operation Of a
great transcontinental railroad like the
Great Northern, and asked the cooper
alton of the people of the town in assist
ing the local employees in keeping the
building as clean and inviting as on the
occasion of its dedication He said that
Newp"rt had the best depot of any town
more than twice its size on the Great
N"rthern system. that the road had
