the representatives of thelarge counties.

acquitted himself in manner that Kept
In line the friends of the bill. Senator
Anderson early in the progress of the
movement took the position that if the
people of the east side desired division
and felt themselves prepared for it he
would interpose no objection and would
favor the bill. He has been absolutely

was not opposingthe bill may be attrib-

remain part of Senator Anderson's
district and while he represents us in
the upper house we are assured of hav-
ing at the state capitol man who
stands we'll with his colleagues and
whose ability can not be questioned.
In standing for division Senator Ander-
son represented the sentiment OF the
large majority of his constituents on
thewest side of the county and it is re-
markable fact that no commercial body
or other organization of the west side
voiced any protest against division.
Senator Oliver Hall, of Whitman
county, was one of the good frinds of the
bill. and did much to create favorable
sentiment among the legislators. Sena-
tor Hall is we'll acquainted with this ter
ritory, its topography and resources, as
he has frequently visited this section
during the past twenty years on fishing
and hunting expeditions. He owned
two hunting lodges on Sullivan lake and
and assisted in cutting the first trail
across the mountains from Colyille to
lone. Senator Hall, however. did not
like the name Pend Oreille, on account
OF the difficult spelling and pronuncia-
tion. He was prepared to introduce
resolution to change the name in the
bill to Allen county, in honor of John B.
Allen, the first United States senator
from the state, but was induced to re-

The spirit nf tair play has won out and
the bill now is ready for signature by
the President of the Senate and the
Governor.
It will be ninety days after signature
by the Governor before the bill becomes
effective, which means that the new
county will begin to have official life
about June 1st. Immediately upon the
bill becoming effective the Governor
will appoint the three commissioners
and they will be ready to start organize
ton of the county by appointing the
other officers.
With only thirteen members of the
two houses voting against the bill it
looks as if il. might have been an easy
matter to get division. However it has
taken six weeks of earnest effort to
override the objections aroused by the
section Of the bill which called for. a
representative from this county.
The legislators asa rule are opposed
to any county division. Many of them
come from counties threatened with
division movements within their own
limits. The large counties op-
pose any new counties that ask for
representation as the House now is
within three Of the constitutional limit
on its size. The legislators must be
shown that the case is meritorious aud
must be convinced that the movement is
not the pet measure of any buEch of pol
iticians or town boomers. Fortunately
our cause has appealed to them on its
merits and our bill has passed. Five
other division proposals have been up.

county, and that it should have separate
representation. The Pierce and King
county men came back with the claim
that the county would have only $500
population. and to give 1t a representa-
tive would be unfair to King county,
which has but one representative to
$1,000. Senator Anderson was severely
cross-examined. yielding to their. qaes-
tions and answering when the ques-
tions were pertinent to the matter in
hand and refusing to yield when the
questions were irrevelant. He was sup
ported by Senator Rosenhaupt, of Spo-
kane; Stevenson. Of Garfield: Hall, of
Whitman, and others. On vote the
amendment was turned down. % to II.
Senator jackson, of King, then took
up the fight, assisted by Piper and
Nichols, also of King. Jackson offered
an amendment that the entire section
be striken out, which would leave the
new county without either senatorial
or representative membership in the
legislature. After considerable debate
the amendment lost % to 16.
Jackson then proposed that the sec
ton bezamended 80 that Pend Oreiile
have one representative and that Ste
vens be cut down to one. Anderson
appealed to the chair that the amend
ment was out of order and the chair sus-
tanned the appeal.
1t was then up to the vote on the f.
nal passage OF the bill. Anderson ap-
pealed to the Senate to treat our people
fairly, that to defeat the bill
would be great injustice and argued
that the matter of representation
should be left to the apportionment
bill which would come before the body
later.

the arguments of the local representa-
tives that the maine Pend Oreille was
desired on account of local associa.

advertising, publicity being given the

Representative Appleman has worked
hard for the passage of the bill not only
In tie House. but also with memb bers of
the Senate. Though new hand at the
legislative game, he is rapidly acquiring
keen insight into its workings and in
what he undertakes he is helped by the
TACT that he leaves the impression with
all whom he meets that he is sincere
and honest in all his efforts.
Representative Spedden, who ia eerv.
ing his second term at Olympia, is
counted one"f the reliable men OF the
house. On the matter of county divis-
ion he was of material assistance in re-
fiectlng and making known the attitude
oi VIZ PCoptc vi tuc west SlQ0 OF the
county as opposing county division
and the desire of our people for self-gov-
.ernment.
Senator Harry Rosenhaupt, of Spo-
kane county, one of the strongest men
in the senate, was also of material as
slstance and was ever ready to give his
time to help make friends for the bill.
Senator John D. Bassett. of Adams coun-
ty. was another of the strong friends of
the bill. These two men were familiar
with our circumstances and could al
ways be relied upon to assist in making
clear our needs. -

s. j. APPLEMAN.
The above telegram received by The
MINER at $50 todav appears to tell the
last hapter in the fight against the Pend
Oreille county division bill. The bill lie
now up to the governor and there is no
question that he will sign it and give
Eastern Stevens county the self-govern-
ment it so ardently desires.
After the passage of the measure bv
the house on Feb. 10 by the splendid
vote of 80 to 6, the bill was transmitted
to the Senate. On Feb. 6 last hear
ing was held by the Senate Committee
on Counties and County Boundaries and
that BODY reported it back to the Senate
on Thursday with the Recommendation
that it pass. On Monday the bill was
given place on the calendar, the ear
Iiest possible time that itcould get there.
Monday afternoon the bill was reached
for final action. The bill was read
through for the third time and President

UP TO THE FARMER.
Prof. Bailey Tells Them How to Bet
ter the Rural Conditions.

Amherst. Mass. Aug. AT the clos
ing session OF the difference of Rural
Social Workers here tonight, Prof
Liberty H. Bailey of Cornell who was
chairman of President Roosevelt 5
Country Life Commission. argued that
the changing OF rural conditions must
come from the farmer himself and he
declared that city folks should not
take up farming as farming was d
business that needed the right temper
ament and the right training
The country life more is the effort
to "elfectualize' rural society for those
who are now a part of il" he said.
The country is not to be redreeted
by city persons going into farming.
The redirection will come mostly out
of the open country itself where the
fundamental problem is to organize
sentiment and experience Abandoned
farms are lands reserved which will
all be needed in time. There is now a
movment of farm population from the
West to the East. caused by the high
prices Of the land in the corn belt
states. 1t is not essential that many
persons move to the country, but for
every farmer to make the most of his
opportunity"

summoned him to the stand as his
witness. Mr.. Springers testimony was

piled to the town for aid and that she
had received some to the amount of
perhaps So. He also told how he had
told Mrs Gowell that her husband was
willing to live with her if she would
be good and she told him that she
would live with Mr.. Go~ell if he would
be good, but after that his work as
mediator fell short.
Both attorneys made eloquent argu-
ments and that of Attorney Glason be-
ing especially touching. Judge Man
ser dwelt much upon the legal aspects
of the case.

ctsion that there appeared to be blame
on both sides as far as the quarrels
was concerned and both sides we're a

though il was the duty OF the husband
TO provide for the children if the
mother was willing it was also his
duty to provide for them if she was
not willing. After a conference he

Libby SAYS that there will be n box
there just the same as in the past, but
that the location will be decided b.
tie chief railway mail clerk. after it
has been fully decided about where the
mail ear on the heavier trains will
stop. in order that the clerk may reach
the box in the quickest possible tilne.
