Of the worth of words and correct no

these are the qualities that distinguish
the good stenOgrapher from the mere

Such a knowledge Of English, coupled

RELATIVE NAVAL STRENGTH.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
If YOU have a clippin~ from The
Herald which you would send me or
would print the strength of the navies
of the world, / would thank YOU Vcrv
much This Is TO settle an argument in
which there is a great deal Of cOnten-
tion as to the standing and comparative
strength OF the naVleS of United
States and Germany. The Scientific
American seems to favor United States
and other periodicals. favor Germany
as the secondary power. We have de-
cided Co leave the question to your de-
cision. and I would thank you for
prompt reply.
THE authorities differ as to the
relative position Of Germany and the
United States. There are four different
WAYS of comparing: by number Of war
vessels bv total tonnage, by total ton
mage of first class modern ships, and
by weight of metal hurled at one vol
lev from all guns mounted. The usually
accented tests are those Of total ton
MAGE of first class modern ships built
and under construction, and total
weight of metal at one voley." Judged
BY either or both of these tests, the
United States navy is at present In the
lead Second only to Great BRITAIN,
though Germany has more ships IN
nearly every class than we have Ger
manys navy is not quite so moueIn
and her ships do not mount quite so
many or so large guns as ours. On the
tonnage basis (mOdern sh1ps) the ma

The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1911-03-30

At the Pend Oreille Hospital In this
city early Wednesday morning occurred
the death of Walter A. Shackleton.
Death was the result of injuries received
by Mr.. Shackleton on Saturday after
noon while working at the planer of the
Moeser Lumber Co.
Mr.. Shackleton was engaged in tight
ening part of the planer with a wrench,
when he slipped and his right arm was
drawn into the rolls and horribly lacer-
ated. An effort was made to save the
arm, but it was found necessary to am
putate it near the shoulder, which was
done Tuesday morning During the day
the patient had several sinking spells
and he passed away early Wednesday
morning Poor health for the past three
wears had left Mr.. Shackleton without
! the vitality necessary to Withstand the
shock of the accident and the ensuing
amputation.
Walter A. Shackleton was born at New
Albin, Iowa. Feb. 6, 1867, and made his
home there until Is years old. when he
| moved to Woodville. Wisconsin, where
in 1886 he was married to Carrie Smith,
who with three sons, the oldest IA years
of age. survives to mourn his loss. The
family has made its home in Newport
the past nine years. He had living a
sister, Mrs. Monroe, of Seattle, who
came to attend the funeral, and one
brother in Nebraska.
He was quiet, unassuming citizen, a
good mechanic and had the respect of
the people of our town, whose sincere
sympathy is extended to the mourning
family. Funeral services will be held
Friday at p. m. at the Congregational
church, Rev. F. Z. Whitman officiating

New Mill in Operation

The new mill of the Dalkena Lumber
Go. at Dalkena was given its first run on
Monday of this week. The new plant
started out as well as could be expected
and now that it ia linn ered up is making
a good showing.
The main building Is 48x14O feet, of
substantial construction. 1t is equipped
with double cut band saw that has
capacity of 10000 feet in ten hours. The
building is wide enough to permit the
installation of another band of equal
capacity.
The old sawmill of the company was
burned on August 81. prey OF the
big forest fire that ravaged this section.
Work of rebuilding was decided upon at
once, and within five months OF the be-
ginning of the work the new mill was
ready to start work. J. w Rogers, su-
perintendent OF the mill, had charge of
the construction and promised to have
the mill in operation by April and has
made good. A night shift may be put at
work later if the condition of the lumber
market warrants it,
In addition to erecting the new mill
the company has largely increased the
storage capacity of its hooms, and will
still further extend the boom, providing
sheer boom to catch logs coming down
the river. The boom is also conven-
ientlY located to the l. & w. N. tracks
for logging by rail.
During the past winter the company
has got out about 2,OOO,O 900 feet of logs.
Logging operations will be continued
during the summer. The company's
planer is not in operation steadily, as
the stock of lumber in the yards has
been depleted during the period the
company was without a saving plant.

STEAMER RUTH DESTROYED
Was Burned to Waters Edge
Wednesday Evening.
Boat Cost Over Thirty Thousand

Wednesday evening. about $3.50. the
steamer Ruth was discovered to be on
fire. The boat was tied up on the south
side of the river, opposite the Fidelity
plant. The Waterman was absent from
the boat at the time. having come to
town to get supper, and the fire when
discovered was 30 far advanced that
there was no possibility of saving the
craft or any of her contents. The fire
appeared to have started in the upper
works of the vessel. 1t burned fiercely
and presented a grand spectacle, illum-
mating the milling plant across the river
and the hills surrounding the valley!
The Ruth was built at Newport in the
spring of 1909 and was designed to enter
the traffic between Newport and Meta
line, it being hoped that the boat would
be able to negotiate the famous Box
Canyon between lone and Metaline.
Business on the lower river did not war
rant undertaking the perilons passage
and she never went through the canyon.
She was operated between Newport and
lone for several months, but competi-
ton being keen and the Ruth not hav-
ing traffic connections possessed by the
steamers of the other line. never was a
good financial proposition. In Septem-
Der of the same year she was sold at
sheriff's sale to satisfy the demands OF
creditors, and was bid in by Martin
Woldson, of Spokane, prominent rail-
road contractor, as the principal creditor
of the company.
For the past year she has been tied up
along the river bank at Newport, while
efforts were being made to promote her
sale and removal to more profta BILE
waters, as the building of the [. & WIN.
extension down river has put all of the
steam boat lines out of business.
Capt. Lanneau, well known river
man OF the northwest. was the promoter
of the building of the boat and was in
charge of her for time. The boat was
1l6 feet long, with beam of "a feet, land
was equipped with the best of machin-
cry. 1t cost in the neighborhood of
100000.
Cause of the fire is unknown For
several days past steam had been raised
to pump out the boat and keep her
afoat, as she had been on dry land all
winter and leaked badly. 1t is possible

Dikin6 Benefits Assessed

In Superior Court at Colville last week
% hearing was held in the case Of Calls.
pei Diking District No. for the purpose
of assessing benefits to be derived from
the dixie. against the lands included
within the confines of the district.
The hearing was before Judge Neal, Of
Lincoln county, who presided for Judge
Carey, of this county. Testimony was
introduced to show that the land would
be benefited from $50 to $75 per acre by
dixie. Decree was entered by the court
assessing Glass A lands at maximum
rate of $3.50 per acre. and Glass B lands
at maximum of $3.50 per acre, to pay
the cost of the diking system.
Glass A lands are those that are over
flowed in case of extreme high water,
and Class B land includes those that are
overlooked annually
As there are about 10, 600 acres of land
included within the area of the district
under these two classifcatioDs it appears
that the maximum assessment will not
be called for, as it is estimated that $780,
GOO will complete the work of diking,
including all the court costs and prelim-
mary expenses.
The work of diking is being completed
this week, the last work being the fill
ing in of the Calispel railroad bridge by
the I. & W N. There remains only the
installation of pumping plant to take
out the waters of the Calispel during the
time the gates are closed to keep out the
waters OF the Pend Oreille.
Diking District No. put in claim
before the court for large sum, claim
ing that District No. 2 was benefited by
the work done by No. /, and should
therefore pay it's proportion of this work
This claim was not allowed by the court.
