County Exhibit Not Successful

The exhibit of Stevens county at the
National Apple Show at Spokane last
week proved a disappointment to- the
Federated Clubs, under whose direction
the exhibit was assembled. 1t is said
by those familiar with conditions that a
very poor showing was made for the
county and that it would have been pos
sible to have done much better.
Doubtless those directly in charge of
the exhibit were hampered by lack of
interest on the part of apple growers and
the public generally. The Federated
Clubs did a great piece of work boosting
for the county, both before and at the
show, and its members regret exceed
ingly that a better showing could not
have been assembled. The Columbia
river and Colville valleys, it is claimed,
produce much better fruit than was
shown at Spokane. Wherever the blame
is located, it is evident that the county's
resources were not shown off to the best
advantage.
After the close of the Spokane show
the exhibit was shipped to Chicago, to
be shown at the exhibit In that city be-
ginning Nov. 20. 1t is claimed by those
in charge that much better showing
will be made in Chicago, and for the
best interests of the county it is to be
hoped that this will prove true. Per-
haps criticism from this side is unjust,
as we contributed practically nothing to
the display or the funds for making the
same.

WOULD MAKE GREAT COUNTY
Proposed Division Includes Area
of 1884 Square Miles.
Vast and Varied Resources.

The question of dividing Stevenscoun-
~ is causing considerable discussion, in
riew of the fact that it is very likely that
a measure providing for such division
will be presented to the state legislature
at the comiDg session in 1911.
The line of the proposed division runs
north and south along the mountain
range separating the east and west sides
OF the county. 1t is approximately the
dividing line between townships Al and
-. with the exception that the line may
be made to Jog some in order to prevent
placing any section on the opposite side
of the range from that to which it natur-
ally belongs.
In the proposed new county there
would be an area of approximately A
townships. for townships wide and eleven
long. or a total of about 1884 square
miles. 1t includes practically every
thing east of the line between townships
Il and ~, and from the north line OF
Spokane county to the British Columbia
line.
For diversity Of resources and posi-
biity of development there is perhaps
no section of the Northwest Of similar
area that can surpass the proposed new
county. It has timber, mineral, agrl-
cultural and horticultural resources. In
the item of timber resource alone 1t Is
estimated that there are at Least eight
billion feet of timber, an available re-
source and asset, the working of which
into marketable condition will provide
huge industry for the next fifty years
In the meantime the other resources o.
the county will be developed and
wonderful empire capable OF making
I'D one or two more counties, will have
been achieved.
The MINER believes that the time
ripe for the establishment of neV
county on the east side of Steven
county. Many prominent east sid
people are considering the matter yer,

According to the Colville Examiner
the matter of Township Organization
has again lost out in Stevens county,
despite the fact that it received large
majority of the votes cast upon the sub
iect. However, it failed to receive q
sufficient percentage of the total number
votes cast and lost out, as it did two
years ago.

PRAYERS FOR RAIN ANSWERED

Mount Scott, Ok, Aug. j--One
hundred persons in the vicinity Of
Mount Scott believe their prayers
for rain have been answered. A
week OF fasting and supplication,
in which requests to the Almighty
were made for rains, have been fol-
lowed by steady d0wnpour all over
the county. The downpour began
Wednesday evening and continued
until tonight.
Although the greater part of
Comanche County has been favored
by rains this season, in the Wichita
Mountain district old-timers declare
il has been the dryest for fifteen
years. Crops have suffered, and
practically all the springs and small
streams have dried up. The rains
of this week are expected to relieve
the situation.

Keep the bran in a covered jar on

Pretty butterfly penwipers are
made by girls who can stencil.
They should be made on velvet
with the wings of the butterfly
outspread as if for flight, the two
sides cut alike and decorated to
match. The body must be stuffed
into a rounded shape, and beneath
the wings several folds of fine
flannel should be added.
1t can also be used as a needle
book to hang on the dressing
table and filled with needles
threaded with silks and cottons
ready for use.
Yellow machine oil stains on
white material may be removed by
rubbing the spot with cloth wet

Keep the chest we'll up, the

in-then start cut for a walk with
some definite purpose in view.
When you are sewing a new
