Hungary.
Although the former President has
spoken no word that might be con-

on his presence as campain material
in the general election which is keeping
Inc entire country at fever heat.

Hungary hold that country in great
esteem, the great army Of Hungarians

especially powerful tie, almost an IDOL.
Almost an Idol
The former President Of that land,
therefore, is little short Of ar idol
in Hungary. The enthusiasm with
which he has been received is one OF
the most remarkable demonstrations

turning that TO their own account in
the struggle for supremacy.

PUT THROUGH BIG BOND DEAL.
Blackwell Ruilroad Bonds Placed
With Eastern Firm.
Speaks Well for This Section.

All records for quick work In floating
and disposing of one of the largest bond
issues ever handled by Spokane 6nan-
clal institution were broken Tuesday,
when the Spokane & Eastern Trust Co.
turned over to F. A. Blackwell, presi-
dent of the Idaho & Washington North
ern Railroad, sl.2OO. .0Ou, the returns
from 6 per cent bond issue put out by
the railroad. The deal was consum.
mated in less than 4s days from the time
negotiations were first opened.
The deal is the largest financial un.
dertsking which has been fsthered in
Spokane, and because of the size of the
issue and the details involved several
months might ordinarily have been
consumed in making the necessary ex-
aminstions and lithographing the notes
and trust indenture. As it is, in few
hours less than 4S days since F. A.
Blackwell, president, first took the mat
ter up with the local bank. the legal
examination has been made, the notes
issued and sold to the Guaranty Trust
Co., OF New York. reputed to be the
largest trust company in the world. The
81 200, 900 was paid over to the Idaho &
Washington Northern Co., and with it
new record for quick service in fiuanc-
ing really big deal was set for Spokane.
The deal was negotiated by Herbert
Witherspoon, trust officer of the Spo-
kane 4 Eastern Trust Co.. who opened
negotiations with F. A. Blackwell about
the middle of November. A flying trip
to New York was made by Mr. Wither-
spoon, who returned with L. B. Frank
lyn, vice-president of the Guaranty
Trust Co. The latter spent several days
in investigating the property and the
security of the bond issue and gave q
favorable report to his company. The
result was the speedy issue. The deal
is another strong point in evidence that
the bigger financial institutions of the
east are again looking for good inyest-
ments.
The money realized from the big issue
is to be used in further development of
the Idaho & Washington Northern and

NEWPORT POSTMASTER QUITS
Resigns After Nearly Seventeen
Years of Service
Two Applicants for the Office.

Newport's postmaster, r. /. Towle,
has resigned his position. having sent
in notification to that effect to the
postoffice department at Washington. D.
c., on Thursday last
The news of Mr.. Towie's resignation
came as surprise TO the people of New
port and the patrons of the office. For
q long time Mr.. Towle has been suffer
ing from an injured foot, which has COM
PEELED him to use crutches and at times
caused him 3 great deal of suffering,
combining him to the house for weeks at
time. He has made every effort to
keep up and give the patrons of the
office good service. but found that in-
ereasing age and infirmity made it i'm
possible for him to perform the duties OF
the office as he desired and therefore
sent in his resignation.
Mr.. Towle's service as postmaster is
almost Identical with the life history of
the town. He was first appointed in
1894, taking up the duties of the office
on April 20. The postoffice was then on
the Idaho side in the log cabin which is
still pointed out to strangers as the first
business place in the town. and which is
still owned by Mr.. Towle. He was the
second man to engage in the mercantile
business in the town. MIR. Kelly having
seniority just by one year. In 1900 the
office WAS moved to the new Washington
town, and MIR. Towle moved his store
with the Office Two years ago Mr..
Towle installed new and complete set
of fixtures. as fine as can be found any,
where in town the size of Newport and
ample for continued growth of the town.
His familiar face in the Office will be
greatly missed. especially by the pion-
eers of this section. many OF whom tell
of the many accommodations and SER
vices rendered hy the veteran postmas-
ter
Naturally with the resignation of Mr..
Towle. the question Of a successor to
him comes up. Two petitions have been
circulated, one in the interest oil Carl M
Johansen and the other for VIM. Krause.
No notice of an appointment has been
received as yet.

Because of the coolness and nerve dis
played by Great Northern Engineer
Weachlin at Laciede, Idaho, IA miles
east of Newport, at ESQ Monday morn
ing. scores of lives were probably saved,
when his train crashed into an extra
freight, No. l247, standing on the main
line at that station.
Engineer Weachlin was in charge OF
Burlington train No. 43, westbouud, and
bis train had rights over the freight
train.
Telling his fireman to jump while he
had time, Weschlin stayed at his post
until the train was stopped. but not be-
fore the engines had met in a crash that
reduced the pilot beams to splinters and
smashed the front of the boilerhead OF
one engine. John Conner, the fireman,
was bruised and cut by jumping. but
his injuries were not serious.
According to the order book of Train
Dispatcher R. Tripplett. the crew OF the
freight train had no right to be on the
main line at the time.
The wreeker was ordered from Hill
yard at the time, but it was not needed
as the engines trucks were placed back
on the rails by using the steel frogs.

years old. the county having been Gre
ated by the legislature of 1899. During
this period the county has msde trsmen-
dous strides in both population and ms
terial development of resources.
Property values have increased 1000
per cent during the last decade and the
percentage of increase OF population has
exceeded every other county in the state
except Franklin. The total debt of the
new county when it was carved from
Okanogan and kittitas counties Was
more than sI0O. 900, and all of this has
been paid with the exception OF a small
part of the bonded debt, the bonds for
which have not vet expired.
Schools have increased from 2S dis
triets to 65 districts. and the number of
school children has increased nearly 400
per cent Only 50 cars of fruit were
shipped in 1900. as against 1000 cars in
1910.
