ASK FOURTH STREET OPENING
Petition Presented to Town Coun.
ell by Citizens.
Routine Business of Council.

The town council met in regular ses-
sion Tuesday evening. Councilman Lutz

sence of Mayor Fox.
A petition signed by about fifty resi-
dents was presented, asking the council
to demand of the Great Northern Rail.
road the opening of street oyer the
company's tracks on Fourth street.
The petition was referred to the COM
mlttee on streets for action. This is
matter that has long been talked of by
our citizens, as Fourth street is the main
artery of the town east and west, and if
the crossing were granted it would make
a continuous street to the eastern limits
of the Idaho side. However, it is doubt
full that the Great Northern will grant
the crossing, as the company appears to
nave prior rights, and crossing at that
point would necessitate the entire rear
rangement of their yards and switches
The company having their right-of-way
long before the Washington side of the
town was plated, their officials hereto
fore have always said that the COMPANY
would not under anv circumstances con-
slider such an opening. Probably the
only way the street can be opened is to
make proper showing before court in
condemnation suit
The city clerk was instructed to notify
the Great Northern to remove cinder
piles from the Union avenue crossing.
Ordinance No. III was introduced and
given first and second reading. It re-
lates to the obstruction of streets by
railroad crews while switching and puts
time limit of five minutes on such OBJ
struction. A fine not to exceed 500 and
imprisonment in Jail not to exceed 80
days is provided for violation of the pro-
visions of this ordinance. Both railroad
companies have disapproved of the
action of their trainmen in blocking the
streets and do not in any way uphold
such action.

Assess OrioIe Stock for Development

At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Oriole mine held recently in Spo-
kane, when officers were elected for the
coming year, it was decided to ask for a
voluntary assessment of half cent a
share, to put the property on a working
basis. It is expected that $4,000 will be
raised by the assessment, and all of it
will be put into carryingon development
work.
The Oriole is located mile and half
from Metaline. in the high-grade silver
district around the town. Assays of ore
show an average value of $50 ton, run
ing in, gold, silver, copper and lead. For
years development work has been car
ried on, and the money raised at the
last meeting will be used in extending
a shaft down 250 feet further, to total
depth of 500 feet on the ore.
The showing has improved with the
depth all along. A drift has been run
in along the ledge tol some distance, but
enough depth was not secured, and it is
thought that the ore shoot was topped.

to begin work. No new machinery will

OLD TOWN FADING AWAY
Third Big Fire in Restricted
District.
Inmates Ordered Out of Town.

The third destructive fire in the re-
stricted district of Newport. Idaho, COM
monty known as "Old Town." occurred
last Thursday night, when the Ida Nc
Nelly Bruins resort and the Opera Bar
saloon burned to the ground.
The fire was discovered about mid
night, apparently having started from
under the kitchen and outside the estab-
lishment. The structures being of frame
the fire spread with great rapidity and
in very short time burned itself out.
A small part of the furniture and cloth
ing of the inmates were saved.
Evidently the fire was of incendiary
origin, as some mlscreant cut two lines
OF hose that belonged in the neighbor-
hood and were turned on the fire. The
hose was wrapped with blankets. but the
pressure from the main was greatly re-
duced and it was with difficulty that the
further spread of the fire was prevented.
The restricted district of Old Town
will soon be thing of the past. While
there has always been sporting ele-
ment in that section. it was not until
the down river construction of the I. &
w. N. started that Old Town became
notorious as one of the worst spots on
the maps of the Northwest. 1t doomed
with great flourish. and during the
winter of 1909 saloons and sporting
houses seemed to spring up over night,
and tough population of several hun
dred men and women flocked here to
prey on the lumberjacks and railroad
laborers.
But it has evidently seen its worst
days. This was the third fire to occur
within the past year. Bonner county
has voted out saloons, and there is evil
dence of new regime coming into con-
troll in that county that will not counte-
nance the gambling and houses of pros
titution that have fourished in the past.
Deputy Sheriff Wilcox, of Standpoint,
was in town the night of the fire, and
made the rounds, informing the women
of the district and their male attaches
that they must vacate the town within

MANY VIEW EXHIBIT CAR
Great Northern Enterprise Wins
Commentator.
District to Be Representedin Car.

The Great Northern exhibition car.
which last year travelled thousands of
miles through the eastern states, adyer-
tising the resources of the state of Wash
ington and the Flathead country of
Montana, was in Newport all day last
Friday. Hundreds of people visited the
car at this point to see the manner in
which the Great Northern is advertising
this section. During the travels of the
car in the east over 1900 people vis-
tied it, and as result many have been
induced to come west to make their
homes.
The car is tastily arranged to give the
best possible display OF the grains,
grasses and fruits grown in the North
west. and with Photographic views show
ing cultivated lands and scenic beauties.
The contents of the car are intact and in
good condition, despite the many thou
sands of miles it was handled by eastern
railroads.
Since its return west the car has been
run over the lines of the Great Northern
in Washington, to give local people an
idea of what the G. N. is doing to ad-
yertise this country. Newport was the
last place to be visited by the car, and it
was sent from here to Spokane Saturday
morning to be fixed up with new exhib-
its to begin It's wanderings through the
east next October. On its next trip the
car will be devoted exclusively to Wash
ington products.
o. A. Atwood. immigration agent of
the Great Northern, who accompanied
the car east last season. was with it in
Newport, and in company with J. G.
Maher, travelling freight agent of the
road, was taken for drive into the >ad-
joining country, to give him an idea Of
what the country is like and enable a
better description of its advantages and
resources. Mr.. Atwood is resident of
Kettle Falls, Stevens county, but like
most other residents of the west side,
had but slight conception of the vastness
and productiveness of the country ad-
joining Newport, and was agreeably i'm

Defeat of ees Leaves No Fighter Whom the White Race Can Depend to Wrest the Champion Away From the

1 indications it is doubtful whether | Johnson. John l.. Sullivan was the kind of man who Is made to order for Johnson's style of fighting. Sullivan's wild swings and bull like rushes would | have been easy for Jack. Johnson
 would have peppered John L. the way he did Jeffries. He would have met these rushes with the famous upper cut and would have had no difficulty | in blocking the swings. A fight be-
 tween Johnson and Jim Corbett would have been pretty to see, but Corbett
 never had the punch that would have
 whipped Johnson, and it Is doubtful if Jim would have weathered more than
 one or two uppercuts.
 For my part I believe Bob Fitzsim-
 mons in his prime would have been | harder man for Johnson to whip
 than any of them. But Bob would | have been at the same disadvantage | as he was with Jeffries. Thirty or
 40 pounds difference in weight would have been too much even for the freck. | led one.
 We have got to give it to Johnson,
 and it is to be hoped that he behaves | himself. That big purse he won will
 pay many fine for auto speeding and
 he will make much more in the next year or so on the stage. One result
 of the fight was to increase the feel.

 caused riots all over the country be. I tween whites and blacks, and in these
 battles. the blacks being outnumbered,

which is the better way. If he does those things and practises steadily he will become a better ball player and last longer in the business than scores of men who are his physical superiors at the game.
 Another bit of advice for a young player: There is complaint that the old players do not give the young ones fair chance. This is not true. If the young player does not get his chance 1t is his own fault. A young player just starting with any club must watch his private behavior as closely as his playing. A fresh" ball player, or "swelled head" or one who does not attend to business soon finds that he is not popular and be. gins to complain that he does not get his chance. A player who joins a club, watches and listens, sticks up for his own rights and does not tram. pie on the rights of others. always is welcome. A player in the modern game is judged almost as much by his conduct as by his playing. The greatest mistake young player can make Is to think that because he makes a successful start his success is assured and to swell" and cease to pay close attention to business.
