HOmeSteaderS Get Decision

The contest case instituted by the Call
ispel Valley Gun Club, of Spokane,
against the claims of Carlton H. Finley
and Nancy and Emmett Desart. on CAL
ispel Lake, has again been decided in
favor of the homesteaders. The hearing
of the testimony was before United
States Commissioner Rogers at Newport
and in the review of the testimony by
the Spokane Land Office the homestead
ers won out. The case was appealed to
the General Land Office at Washington
by the Gun Club and the General Land
Office sustained the Spokane office on
every point. An appeal to the Secretary
of the Interior remains for the Gun Club
and they will doubtless carry the matter
up. as they strenuously object to any
settler interfering with their pursuit of
sport.

Arrested on Complaint Of Census
Officials

United States Deputy Marshal Baker,
of Spokane, accompanied by A. NJ.
Storch, supervisor of the census for this
district, were in town last Friday and
caused the arrest of Louis Kirchan. pro-
prietor of the Central Market, for al
legged refusal to answer questions pro-
pounded to him by Enumeration V. P.
Brown.
Brown alleges that Kirchan, who OPP
crates packing house business, refused
to answer questions as required by the
census schedule concerning the amount
of business done annually by his insti-
tuition. Mr.. Kirchan claims that it is
impossible for him to give exact answers
to these questions, as accurate records
of the number of animals slaughtered
are not kept. On this point Kirchan
and the enumerator split with the result
noted above.
Mr.. Kirchan was taken before Justice
Long, where through his attorney. A. s.
Sherlock, he secured continuance until
June 2, being released on bond in the
sum of $500.

The Commercial Club ls endeavoring

to enable the Club to enter into guar

A partial canvass OF the town reveals
the fact that there is a strong desire for
such a course and committees for the
club hope within a few days to secure
the requisite number of signers.
Mr.. Knox. representing the Midland
Lyceum Bureau, of Des Moines, Iowa,
was in town this week and submitted
the proposal to the Club. The course
as proposed includes the following:
Hal Merton, Magician, Entertainer.
Ventriloquist.

pie, colored.

Newport people have never had an
opportunity to enjoy course of this
character and it is to be hoped that our
citizens will take advantage OF this
chance to secure for our town some OF
the best attractions that will tour the
Northwest.

Waters Cease TO Raise

The gauge at the railroad company g
docks shows the water to stand at 1917
feet above low water mark this noon,
May 10. A year ago today the mark was
5 feet above. The first three days of the
past week the river rose one foot, but
the past three days it has stood at 1877.
Many believe that the crest of the
high water for this year has been reach
ed, unless heavy rains occur in Montana
as happened two years ago. Usually
the crest is not reached until June 10.
but the water has been at an unusually
high stage since March /. and it may be
that the river will not get much higher
this year.

Farm Home Burned

Monday evening, while Mrs. Hilda
Zweiberg was preparing supper at her
home, about two miles west OF Newport,
the roof of the house was discovered to
be in flames, so far advanced that all
efforts to save the house or any Of Its
contents were unavailing. The fire was
communicated to the outbuildings of the
place and all were DESTROYED, with the
exception of the barn.
The total loss is estimated at over
$1,000. and Mrs Zweiberg is unfortunate
in not having any insurance on her
property. The loss is severe one to
the family and many have expressed a
desire to contribute to their relief. Con-
tributions may be left with Cary's, Will
cox & Paulsen's or the South Side Gro
cery.

increase the danger by their false sug-
gestiOn of safety. and in one place the
