REVIEW OF THE SETTLEMENT
Work Was Done Thoroughly and
Satisfactorily to All.
Complete Statement In This Issue

The full text of the articles of agree
ment between the auditors of Stevens
and Pend Oreille counties appears in this
issue of THE MINER. Readers should
give this publication careful perusal.
1t is we'll gotten up statement and one
from which all can get good under
standing of the settlement.
The following are some of the impor-
tant points to be cleaned from study
of the agreement:
The total valuation of Stevens county
before division was $10.314, $3.50. 1t was
found that the territory remaining in
Stevens county furnis he'd $7,110,914 of
this total. and the territory within the
new county $3,2O3, ,746. From this it
was determined that the basis of settle
ment should be Stevens county 1896 per
cent of the total and Pend Oreille county
BLOB.
Bonded indebtedness and accrued in
tertst of the original county amounted
to $24O, ,513.05; warrant Indebtedness,
$67. .846 81; total indebtedness. $685.
359.72.
Of the three road districts of the old
county but two, Nos. and 8. included
territory now within the new county.
After deducting cash on hand from the
amount of warrant Indebtedness of the
of the road districts, it was found that
the territory within district No. 2 in
Pend Oreille county owed $5190.97 and
district No. 3, $6793.66. It was agreed
that the auditor of Pend Oreille county
should issue road district warrants to
Stevens county for these amounts.
OF the $6793 of Indebtedness on road
district No. 3, Commissioners Atherton
and Sutherland haye divided between
their respective districts, Nos. and 2,
OF the new county. No. l, represented
by MIR. Sutherland, has an assessed
valuat ation of 81 AIS .2l7 and assumes $4399
of the debt. District No. 2, represented
by Mr.. Atherton, has an assessed valua-
ton of 1915. 900 and assumes s2394 of the
debt.
Pend Oreille county was gwen credit

ing the property of the parent county.
The total cost of these bridges Was $2O.-
698.72. The new county was given credit
for them in the sum of $14,475.
The county court house and jail prop
erty was put in at $3s, 900 and the poor
farm at $500. While the cost of these
properties was undoubtedly much greater
the fact that Pend Oreille had partici-
pated in their use for some years past
was taken into consideration and allow
ance made therefor.
After deducting cash on hand amount
ing to $50, ,707 .09, bridges at $l4.475, and
county buildings and poor farm at
$43, 500. the total Indebtedness was
$2l9, ,619.63, of which Pend Oreille coun-
ty's share to assume, ON the basis of
81 05 per cent of the total valuation, was
s68. 1890.
AS the matter now stands Pend Oreille
starts out with an indebtedness of $685.
082.86 on the current expense fund,
$5l09.72 on the territory which formerly
was included in Stevens county road
district No. 2. and s6977. SO on the terri
tory that was in Stevens county road
district No. 8. Total indebtedness
assumed, $s1, ,l70.27.
A study of the articles of settlement
will satisfy anyone that the matter was
gone over thoroughly, and that the best
possible settlement was secured. Audi
tor Murray ls entitled to great credit for
his work, as is also Frank M. Spain,
expert accountant for Yakima county,
who acted as arbitrator between the two
counties and adjusted all differences.
BothcCunties are to be congratulated that
an amicable settlement was secured and
that there was no necessity for taking
the matter into the courts.
O. A. Atwood, immigration agent of
the Great Northern Railway, was a
Newport visitor last Friday, looking up
the prospect of getting samples of pro-
ducts of this territory, to be used in the
company's advertising exhibits that are
to be maintained throughout the east
ern states. Mr.. Atwood expects to be
in attendance at the Pend Oreille dis
trict show to be held at Newport Sept.
Is and %, and anticipates securing some
good additions to his supply of exhibits.
The Great Northern is increasing its
activity in advertising the advantages of
the Northwest, and will conduct siren.
uous campaign for settlers throughout
the east the coming winter. using exhi-
bition cars to visit the smaller points
and maintaining exhibit rooms in q
dozen or more of the large cities.

ers of this section are urged to forward
exhibits and make it point to attend
and see what other growers are doing.

are always cool. The rainy season
prevails in winter, but cyclones, biz
yards and thunder storms are un-
known. The climate of Polk County
in general makes it very desirable
place to live.
The people are energetic towns
men and farmers. They have placed
the county where it has no debt,
and all warrants are cashed on de-
mand. The large court house in
Dallas was constructed of Polk
County stone, and is paid for, while
taxes are growing lighter each year.
Educational Facilities.
The county has excellent educa-
tional facilities. The Oregon State
Normal School is at Monmouth; the
Dallas College at Dallas; and indie
pendence, Dallas and Falls City
maintain excellent high schools.
Dallas, the county seat, is a thriv
ing little city of about 5000 inhabit-
ants. 1t has an air Of soliidty that
makes an immdiate impression. The
surrounding forests are being
used for commercial purposes and
the sawmills employ large numbers
of men. Factories and new enter
prises are meeting with encourage
ment wherever introduced. There are
two sawmills, one foundry, an ak
handle factory, one Touring mill,
eight prune dryers, eight hop dryers,
three wagon shops, one creamery,
two good hotels, two banks and a
soda works in Dallas. The electric
light plant supplies other towns than
Dallas with light and electric power.
Besides these, there are numerous
other sawmills near the city. The
principal streets are macadamized
and curbed, and a sewer system has
been installed. In Dallas there are
eight churches, of different denom-
nations. The Evangelical college,
besides the public schools, furnish
.he young people a chance for
thorough education at home.
Polk County's excellent location,
lealthful climate, and friendly class
Of people, is destined to make it be-
come a famous section of Oregon.

Some time ago Secretary Walter
L. Tooze, Jr., Of the Dallas CONNER
cial Club, received a request from
Miss Annyce Agee, student OF the
McAIinnville public schools, asking
him for information i'll regard to
Polk County, so that she might be
able to prepare an essay on that sub
iect, as a part of her school exer-
cises. He very promptly provided
her with the necessary data, and the
following article is the result of her
quest. She is IA years old and is a
member of the eighth grade:
Polk County.
Polk County is in the heart Of the
world-famed willamette Valley. 1t
is about % miles in width, and ex-
tends from the willamette river, its
eastern boundary, 35 miles westward
to the summit of the Coast Range
of mountains. Two-thirds Of the
ara of the county is in the broad
prairies of the valley and the low
foothills. The other third lies along
the western boundary, where the
densely timbered coast mountains
rear their heights between the valley
and the Pacific, which is but 20 miles
away.
Soil Formation.
The soil is of three general classes:
That of the valley is a rich, black
loan, over a clay subsoil. 1t is very
fertile and will produce all kinds Of
grain, fruit and vegetables without
irrigation. The soil along the
streams is a sandy deposit of earth
and decomposed vegetable mould,
and is adapted to hop and vegetable
culture. The soil Of the foothills is
a red or brown loan, which is best
for farming. This is where Polk
County raises her fine Angora goats
and sheep, and there also are the
vast orchards of apples, prunes and
pears The mountain land, when
cleared, produces an unlimited guam
tity of pasture grasses, and is an
ideal place for herds of cattle, sheep
and goats.
The ocean gives Polk County an
nyigorating breeze and the nights

Interesting Exper-
ilnentS Made by
Professors of Co.
lumbia UniVerSi-
ty--A Mechanic
al Parallel.

Some interesting experiments have
been made recently by professors OF
the Columbia University to determine
the time required for thought tC
travel from the brain to the tip of
the finger in piano-playing. In this
connection it is of equal interest to
know that the time required for the
transmission of the blow upon the
key Of the instrument to the point of
contact of hammer and string is
about the same as that of thought of
brain to finger tip.
When a note is struck upon an up
right piano there are brought into
play something like 80 separate parts
Of the action, and this mechanism
must be so delicately adjusted that
it will respond as quickly as the
brain, nerves and muscles of the hui
man body; otherwise a perfect rem
dering Of any music would be i'm
possible.
Competent judges say that these
points have received the most careful
consideration in the Eiers piano,
and the action is so constructed as TO
produce a plant, easy and responsive
touch, combined with great elasticity
and power of repetition.

pianos ON exhibit, including the
