Statistics show that q of the oldest
and best developed agricultural coun-
ties In Nebraska have lost 1878 peo-
pie In. the last 10 years, while the
state Of iowa has lost 1852 people
from some of the oldest counties in
the state. fs~s
The counties in Nebraska showing
the losses are those in the Missouri
river valley about Omaha and Elm
coin where land is worth from 500
to $135 per acre. Those who have
left these farms are the men who

Failed to Get His Man

F. L. Schaefer. of this city, was ar
rested Tuesday by Marshal Jenne on
orders from Tacoma, stating that war
rant had been issued for his arrest on
the charge of obtaining $500 under false
pretenses. Schaefer put ups cash bond
OF 500 for his appearance, and was given
his liberty to assist in moving his family
from the Idaho side to the Washington
side.
Deputy Sheriff Wiley, of Tacoma, ar
rived Wednesday afternoon. but when
he and Marshal Jenne went to take the
man into custody he was missing and
has not yet been found. Failing to ge,
his man the Tacoma officer departed this
morning.
Schaefer has lived in Newport for a
wear or more. He made periodic trips
to coast cities and to cities of the middle
west, where he placed agencies or sold
territory rights to manufacture shoe
polish. He recently returned from a
similar trip to Tacoma, and it is evil

The bali game between Priest River
and Newport proved a very one-sided
argument with Newport doing all the
talking. Our boys scored nearly every
inning while Priest River never got
anywhere near scoring except in the
eighth when they got three men on
bases with none out. But Rosy got busy
and famed the next three ending their
hopes of connecting with home. Final
score. 8 to 0.
Rosenburrough had the River boys
at his mercy all through the game.
Twenty of them wildly famed the air
and but two landed for safe hits. The
game was listless and calm all the way
through and 1t was very evident that
the up-river boys were no match for our
team.
Next Sunday Spirit Lake will be here
and good hot game may be looked for.

Rail news Of THE WEEK.
l. g. W. N. Inspected by State
Official.
Railroad Commission Results

As the result of voluminous corres-
pondence with the state railroad com-
mission from a party residing few
miles north of Newport. in which seri-
Gus charges were made against the Idaho
Washington Northern Railroad to the
effect that operation of their trains north
of Newport was fraught with danger tt,
the life of trainmen and passengers, A.
w. Perley, inspectorof tracks and safety
appliances for the commission, made
trip to Newport Tuesday and over the
line of the road on Wednesday. Mr..
Perley ascertained conditions from local
people as far as possible, and then view
ed the line from the cab of one OF the
locomotives. On his return to Newport
he made the statement that the 1. & w.
N. is undoubtedly the best railroad in
the state of Washington, that his report
on the condition of the road could be
embraced i'll ten words, and that the
equipment. road-bed and operation of
the road were of the highest standard.
Speaking of the work of the railroad
commission, Mr.. Perley said the COM
mission is one Of the best investments
ever made by the people of the state. In
the past three years railroad taxes in the
state have been increased in the sum OF
SAL, ,481, due largely to the increased
valuation placed on the roads by the
commission. The railroads show an in
crease in valuation of main line track of
221.4l per cent in the years 10000, in
elusive. By a reduction of IL per cent
in the hauling of wheat, brought about
by the commission after an exhaustive
study of the cost of railroad operation,
valuation and maintenance, the sum of
81 ,25O, 900 per year is saved to the Inland
Empire. The commission costs annu-
ally in the neighborhood of $40 900, and
is worth more than two million year
to the people in the saving accomplished
for them, and vastly more when the
safety conditions imposed by them are
considered. During the past year the
commission ordered 48 new depots erect
ed on the Great Northern road.

suit of hard work on the part of the
teachers and the school board and the
