OUR APPRECIATION.

Our acknowledgements are made
to Secretary Manager Il. O.Rhome,
j., of the National Feeders X
Breeders Show Of Fort Worth,
Texas, for an invitation and sea
con passes to attend the 18th an.
nual exhibition, which will he held
at Fort Worth, March II -, 1910.
The announcement, accompanying
the invitation. reads as follows:

elusive IN it's exclusiveness that
nobody but editors will b. allowed
TO partake Of it. The menu shows
that the Feeders and Breeders are
pretty good feeders, anyhow,
whether they are breeders or not.
We are told that the walters on
this occasion will be the leading
business men Of Fort Worth. some
Of them mi!llonaires. Won't it be
a fine thing to have a millionaire
bank president running around at
our call! "lIi, garcon! Another

editors, can we afford to miss the
novel sensation of having a bond

knights of Pythias day at the
Feeders and Breeders show, when
members Of that order from all
parts Of the Southwest will gather
there. The five lodges in Fort

are going TO take care of their
brethren in the best Pythian style,
and leaves nothing more to be ask
ed for.

The very high price Of meat

make such suggestion worthy of
consideration at this time.

there will be 700, 900 motor veht.

country aud across state lines be-
fore the end Of the year. The
different states have different laws
and regulations with reference to
automobiles and the users Of the
machines who wish TO go from one
end of the country to the other find
1t quite embarrassing to get new
license at every crossing of state
lines, TO say nothing of knowing
or remembering the diverse laws
and regulations of the different
states with reference to speed and
other road conditions and rest,ic-
tions. A license from the geneI al

it necessary to have only one pla

acquaintances present. the Masonic and
Woodmen lodges, the Newport Volun-

NEW INDUSTRIES ARE COMING
One Assured And Another Prac.
tically Certain.
Power Line Tried Out Wednesday

Prospects for further industrial de-
velopment of this section and the estab-
lishment Of large manufacturing indus
tries at Newport are becoming brighter
although as yet no definite announce
ment of plans can be made. However
the MINER is in position to state that it
knows of one good sized industry that
has been secured to locate here about
the first of January, 1911. In fact the
first of the material to be worked up by
this new industry is already being de-
liyered.
There is almost as positive assurance
that in the near future the Ashenfelter
Bay mill site will be used for large
milling plant. Large bodies of timber
are tributary at this point. hich will
be brought here to be milled not only
because of the ease with which it can be
brought here but because at this point
are reached the unrivalled shipping
facilities offered by the Idaho & Wash
ington Northern Railroad and it's con-
nections. Several attempts have been
made in the past year by smaller con-
Germs to get this site for milling purposes
but it is generally understood that the
site, which is owned by the Panhandle e
Lumber CO. is being held for larger
aid more permanent industry, which
in time will add greatly to the growth
and Importance OF our town.
On Wednesday of this week the first
electric current was sent from Standpoint
to Newport over the transmission line
of the Northern Idaho & Montana
Power Co. The current was simply sent
over the line as a try-out and the fact
that but three per cent. of the voltage
was lost in transmission indicates that
the line is in first class order. Upon
the completion of the Standpoint power
plant the "a hour service will be installed.
The date for the Inauguration of this
service is still uncertain on account OF
labor and other troubles encountered at
Standpoint. 1t is possible that by Aug.
22nd service can be started but it may
be delayed as long as September 1st.

More Samples Of Produce Wanted.

The Great Northern exhibition car,
which is to travel the states OF the mid

Mr.. O. A. Atwood, the gentleman in

have been brought in from this section,
and have recently been on display in
the Office of the Newport Washington

Newport was not complete, a fairly good

grains and grasses: VIM. Moon, VIM.

The display that has been made up by

was not ready for shipment last night,
but will be forwarded today and will
overtake the car en- route to St. Paul.
Before starting on its publicity trip
the car will be returned to Spokane to
receive further displays of fruits and
other products, and those who have not
yet furnished samples are requested to
bring them in and aid in making an
effective display. Pictures of ranch
scenes are also desired to be used in
stereopticon lectures that are given by
the car attendants.
