metric tons in 1856, rose to 1859, 229
tons in 1896, and to 2,770,000 tons in
1910, or three times what it was when
the roads had practical monopoly of
the city's business.
The roads never had any less traf-
fic after the river was improved than
they had before and what they had
was of higher grade. What the river
took away was coal, ore and other low
grade stuff; what it gave back was
composed of high-grade goods made
more profitable to handle. Besides
this the road received great increase
in passenger traffic and in the high
priced fast freight traffic (such as is
handled by the express companies in
this country. consequent upon the
growth of an active, concentrated and
prosperous population.

interests of the city, and therefore of
the railways which served it, the
Prussian railway administration found
it necessary to build a splendid pas
senger and freight station in Frank
fort at cost of $4,000, 900. That has
since been outgrown and an addition
has lately been made at further cost
of more than $1,000,000. The most
prosperous railways in Germany are
those of Prussia, which come most
directly into competition with water
ways. The revenues from it's rail-
ways constitute more than half the
! total income of the Prussian govern
ment. The absolutely net revenue
/ turned into the state treasury by the
Prussian railways was over $4,000
900 in 1897, and is nearer $60,000,0 0C

Frankfort saved over $685. in re-
duced freight rates during the first
two years after the improvement was
made, and the gain from that source
has been increasing ever since, for the
river traffic, which in 1887 was only

2,5j2,O tons in 1905. This increase

the improved river. This develop

re-opened, and the whole valley from
the city to the Rhine became one vast
workshop, filled with factories like the
great chemical works at Hoechst with
its 5000 employees.
But it is essential also to consider
the effect of the improved river on
the traffic of the railways with which
Frankfort is well supplied, including
line running down to the Rhine
along each bank of the River Main.

that improved waterways will hurt

population of l40,000-and then it
grew more in the next 20 years than
it had grown in the 100 years before.
Today the city proper contains 49,
GOO people. and Greater Frankfort has
nearly 100000. That was what hap
pencd to Frankfort; but things like
that do not happen without a good
reason, What was the reason?
Frankfort found its trade supremacy
threatened by its rivals, especially by
h N3yence and Mannheim, and decided
: that their advantage arose from the
Vocation of those cities directly on the
Rhine, while Frankfort was twenty
miles away. Frankfort could not go
to the Rhine but, by the canalization
of the River Main, the Rhine was
practically brought to Frankfort. The

CalispeI Flume

Five miles of the upper Calispel river
is to be Strengthened and dredged suit
able for running logs, cordwood, posts
and poles, together with fiume of about
FIVE miles, thus completing transporta-
ton to the Calispel valley and opening
up an irrigation system for over 10000
acres of land that lies below the fume.
The cost of erecting the fume is esti-
mated at $35, 900. A small crew is now
at work on the dam. VIM. J. Pugh has
charge. This winter and early next
spring there is to be large force en-
ployed, as the fume is expected to be
ready for operation by the fall of 1912.
The fume is recorded with the county
clerk as the Calispel fume and will be
the means of greatly advancing the
country. Bringing it under irrigation
means heavy crops and better farming
and is guarantee to the fermer for his
work and transportation by gravitation
for logs.

CAN BURN SLASH|NGS NOW
Should be Burned While Danger
is at Minimum.
Fire Wardens Are Issuing Permits.

Fire Warden Pease is in recent of a
letter from State Forester and Fire War
den j. K. Welty. who asks him to see
that all slashings for clearing land or
clearing right-of-way for wagon, rail or
other roads, all tracts of logged off lands
and old burns are burned over.
The rains that we have had and which
are yet expected will prevent any fur
ther danger of burning timber, and bv
getting rid of all inflammable stuff dur
ing the present season, the fire danger
for next year will be considerably less
ened. All the dangerous timber fires of
August originated in such dry and in
hammable material that had not been
properly disposed of. If the work is
gone at with the right spirit and in the
right way great deal can be done to-
wards preventing tim Der fires next year.
All persons having such property should
notify the fire wardens, have them in
spect the premises and issue them per-
mlts to burn.
Pend Oreille county has been particu-
larly fortunate in having an efficient
corps of fire wardens the past year, and
the losses by fires haye been exception
ally small. Fire Wardens Pease, Tiger
Persteiner are all supplied with permits
and the people in their respective dis
tricts should cooperate with them and
do everything possible to aid in lessen
ing this great evil the next season.
This method of burning is advocated
by the State Board of Forest Commits
sioners, who are deeply interested in the
matter and are visiting the different
timbered areas of the state to see what
progress has been made in the matter.

BEGIN LOGGING OPERATIONS
Considerable Logging to be Car
ried on in Coming Season.
Planning Mills Are Kept Busy

Ray Rauch has just completed his
contract for the Panhandle Lumber Co.,
having finished cutting on Sections %,
rs and q. He was two years on this
work and over II, 600, 900 feet were taken
from it. He has taken a new contract
for the same company and has moved
his camp to Sections 10, 81. 45, where he
will cut 4.OOO,OOO to 100000 feet, haul
ing to the wye west of town and to De
Longs spur. He will employ 80 men
and so teams during the fall and winter.
Ray owns a good outfit and enjoys the
reputation of carrying out his contracts
and paying going wages.
1t is rumored the Fidelity Lumber Co.
have contracted to get out 100000
feet of white pine next season, in addi-
ton to their regular cut. 1t is too early
to figure out just when their logging op-
erations will begin. The company has
under consideration the matter of win
ter work, and doubtless their various
camps will be active at no distant date.
The Fidelity planning mill is keeping busy
and loading and shipping continues at a
fair rate.
The Moeser planning mill have run
several good orders this month. Their
yard is turning out considerable lines of
lumber, brick and cement for local use.

increase.

made her influence felt, not only among
her pupils. but through the community
also. Her devotion to her work and her
constant and tireless interest in the up-
lifting of her pupils are deeply appre.
ciated by all. Even during her illness
she retained a keen interest in the
schools of this community.
She was peculiarly well fitted for her
work by nature, and had also had ex-
ceptional training. having been gradu-
ated from the Spokane high school in
1912. the Bellingham normal school in
1915. and the University of Michigan in

day afternoon at 2 O'Clock, at the home
of her mother in Spokane, Canon Bliss,

SUCCESS OF FAIR ASSURED
Many Reservations Have Been
Made For Space.
Railroads to Use Portion ofExhibit-

As the time draws near for the Pend
Oreille District Fair and Exhibit in
creased interest is being shown in the
exhibition, which will open next Thurs
day in the old Great Northern depot
building. The committee, E. W. An
derson, J. M. Mcdonald and A. M. Har-
ris, are highly pleased over the interest
shown in the fair. Since the premium
lists have been sent out many space
reservations have been made, and there
is every prospect that the number of
exhibits will be double those of last
year.
The class and quality of the products
to be shown will doubtless exceed those
of the previous years. One of the sur
prises will doubtless be the display of
wheat, oats and barley.
The Spirit Valley, Blanchard, Deer
Valley, Calispel, Diamond Lake and
West Branch districts will all show what
can be grown in their respective sections.
Some of the ranchers say they have po-
tatoes as large as sugar bowl, cabbages
that will fill wash tub, turnips and
rutabagas the size of teakettle. par
snips as long as your arm and celery
that rivels the Kalamazoo kind.
Nearly all the growers are SO proud of
their products that it has created a
spirit of rivalry, and they will vie with
one another in the contest for the pre-
miums.
This feeling fortells the showing of
some splendid grain and produce. The
growers have reason to feel proud of the
excellent exhibits last year, and believe
they can beat anything in the Pacific
Northwest. Certainly they have the ad-
vantages of good soil and favorable eli
matte conditions.
Several of the exhibitors expect to
ship their displays to the Interstate Fair
in Spokane.
A portion of the display will be sent
to the I. & W. N. and Great Northern
Railways, and be on exhibit during
Spokane fair week at their general
agencies on Sprague and Riverside ave-
nues. They will be placed later in the

The ladies' committee report that
active interest is being shown and their
department will be replete with handi-
work of the fair sex. The fancy work,
the fruits and culinary lines being pre-
pared will be pleasing to behold and a
credit to any exposition.
The poultry raisers will be on hand
with fine display of fancy birds. The
poultry and egg business is receiving
considerable attention here. Unlike
many sections of the state the produc-
ton here is sufficisnt to take care of the
local demand, while in many sections
only eastern products can be secured.
The Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons,
Rhode Island Reds and other good
breeds will strut, crow and ''lay" for the
prizes.
The sports and amusements of the
fair will be under the supervision of
Charles Martin. The races, tug of-war.
etc., will take place on North Washing
ton avenue on Friday afternoon, Sept.
%. A big dance will be held in Kelly's
Hall in the evening. Good music has
