Mayor Fox Resigns

From Lothair, Mont. Mayor NJ. Fox,
of Newport, has sent to Town Clerk Ed
Britton his resignation of his Office as
mayor of Newport. Mr.. Fox last winter
filed on 320-acre piece of land in Mon
tana, and his two sous and his wife left
for that state several months ago. About
month ago Mr.. Fox left for Montana,
but now writes that he leaves for an in
definite stay at his old home in Wlscon-
sin and may 60 into business there.
To fill the vacancy caused by the res.
ignation of Mr.. Fox the council will ap-
point one of it's own members to act az
mayor pro tenn until the municipal elec-
ton in December During the past
month E. j. Lutz has been presiding
over the deliberations of the council in
the absence of Mr.. Fox.

the road. The substitute road asked for
would cost in the nelghborhood of $1,000.
Another reason for postponing the build
ing of the railroad is the fac: that a
property owner near the wye asks $1,000
damages for crossing fve-acre tract.
The company, it is understood, has ten
dered a rental of 500 a year for the
tract for three years, but this tender is
refused.
Probably, if the company had only
this timber available, neither of these
objections would count at this time, but
in the present state of the lumber mar
ket, wages, price of grain and hay, etc.,
the company is likely to seek other
places in its large holdings to log, where
large expenditure for a logging road is
not necessary.
If the road is not built Newport will
lose the benefit of logging operations in
the next three years that would require
an expenditure of at least $2OO, 900.
Farmers in that section will be kept
from a market for their timber, cord
wood and other produce, and the clear
ing of the country will be delayed at
least four or five years.

have to be done some time, but Just now

PIONEERS ANSWER LAST CALL
Long And Active Lives Drawn
to a Close.
Short Sketch Of Their Careers.

On Monday morning occurred the
death of F. NJ. Sammons. well known
resident of this section. Mr.. Sammons
and con Rule were on their way to the
ranch home near Dalkena Sunday MORN
ing, when Mr.. Sammons was taken i'll
and was unable to proceed. 1t was sew
eral hours before help could be secured
to take the sick man to the home of
George II. Bobier, where medical aid
was secured and every effort made to
alleviate his sufferings. Death came to
his relief at 10 O'Clock Monday morning.
Mr.. Sammons returned to Dalkena from
Hunters about two weeks ago. and had
been i'll most of the time for the past
two years.
Francis Marion Sammons was born at
Syracuse, New York. Jan. /, 1882. When
young boy his parents removed to Illi-
nois, and when 8 years old the family
went to sheboygan, Mich. where he
grew to manhood and entered business
life. Mr.. Sammons was endowed with
good business judgment and had ac-
quired large interests in many lines of
business activity, especially in lumber
ing and stsamboating enterprises, but
lost all during the panic of 1873. In the
effort to recuperate his fortunes Mr..
Sammons went to South Dakota, where
he remained period of six years, then
came to Tacoma, WASH, in 1890. In
1895 he went to Baker City, Oregon.
His next move was to Baton Rouge, La.
In 1901 he came to this section, locating
first at Penrith. In 1902. with his son,
r. g., he opened the FIRST furniture and
undertaking establishment in Newport,
which he conducted for several years
and then took up a homestead near Dali
kena. For the past two years he has
spent much of his time at Hunters on
the Columbia.
Mr.. Sammons was married July 4,
1853, at SheboYgan. Mich, to Samantha
Rose st. John, who has been to him a
faithful wife and survives him. To them
were born nine children. OF whom seven
are living: Mrs. Gertrude Lee, OF Clam
Falls, Wis. Elmer, of New Orleans; M.

LOGGING ROAD IS TIED UP
Difficulties Encountered In Secur.
ing Right of Way.
Delay Is Bad For Local Interests

Owing to difficulty in securing right-of-
way over private ground and the neces-
sity of building half mile of county
road up the gulch in order to get the
vacation of the old road, it is probable
that the Panhandle Lumber Co. will
temporarily abandon its intention of
building logging road to take off its
timber holdings in this township.
In order to get the feasible grade up
the gulch the company asked the vaca-
ton of a portion of the county road. A
petition to the county commissioners
was gotten up which was signed by
practically all of the business men of
Newport and residents of the township
west of town. The commissioners and
county engineer viewed the proposed
vacation and also the road intended to
be used during the vacation.
At the meeting of the county COM
missioners at Colville last week, the
county engineer submitted to the COM
missioners report fayoring the building
of new road alongside the proposed
right-of-way, the latter taking the old
county road. Objection was made to
the substitution of the Calispell road
connection for the reason that the latter
is not dedicated county road.
The commissioners are on record to
the effect that they are willing to do all
in their power to forward the develop
ment of the country by granting the
vacation asked by the Panhandle Co.,
but must haye the matter put through
in proper legal form. They cannot grant
the proposed vacation until the forms
of the law have been complied with and
if q protest is made against the vacation
they could not grant same unless new
road is built to be used as a substitute
Neither could they consider the proposal
to use the Calispell cutoff road until a
petition to make it a county road could
be acted on, survey made and dedication
to the public completed.
There is where the matter stands at
the present time. and it is reported that
the Panhnndfe Co. has about dropped
negotiations leading to the building of

FOREST FIRES ARE NUMEROUS.
Long Dry Spell Causes Worst
Condition In Years.
Spirit Lake Threatened by Fire.

Fires in slashing on ground logged over
by the Kennedy camp near Dalkena last
winter have been causing considerable
trouble to the Panhandle Lumber Co.
and other timber owners in that vicin-
ity. A considerable force of men has
been employed fighting the fires. Dep
uty Fire Warden Sova, of Spirit Lake,
has been transferred to this territory
and will make Newport his headquar-
tiers during this season. A meeting OF
representatives of the National Forest
Service, the Panhandle Lumber Co., the
Fidelity Lumber Co. and the Dalkena
Lumber Go. will be held at Newport this
week to form protective association
for the protection of timber on the east
side of the county, and to work in con-
nection with the state deputy fire war
den. The practice of leaving slashings
unburned, which has hitherto been fol-
lowed in the Pend Oreille valley, will be
discontinued. and hereafter all slashings
on logged off lands will be burned in the
fall and spring, when there is little dan
ger of causing damage to standing tim
ber. BY this means the big fire risk
will be practically eliminated.

an article advertised in his paper year

that there is merit to 1t because the con-

merit and to keep on advertising one
must keep on selling. All good things
have imitators, but limitations are not ad-

sell them If he studied your interests.
