Conversation and Good Form
By THE GENTLEWOMAN.

a Norwegian writer has been pokins
fun at our methods of conversation.
1t is good for US occasionally to see
ourselves as others see Us. This critic
is intensely amused at the well-bred
person who regards IT impoIite to
talk about anything that is interest
ing to himself, to refer to anything
that the other person does not know,
or to disagree with the expressed opin-
ion of another.
1t is obvious that. with such limita-
tions, conversation in the real sense
of tho word is quite impossible. 1t is
sacrificed to good forb." that idol Of
the English-speaking people for which
they are willing to forego much in
life that is fine and Illuminating.
The unwritten law that one must not
talk about the things vitality interest
ing to oneself Is. on the face of 1t. a
STUPID n restricting one. Probably
1t originated asa protection against
the arrant egotist, the individual who
pauses neither for dissent nor ap-
prevail. but who maintains a steady
and forcible flow of words until the
listener loses consciousness of time
and space, and becomes faint and giddy
through sheer exhaustion. Such a per-
son is not a conversationa1ist. but a
lecturer, a deliverer of homilies or
sermons. The Interchange of ideas is
the basis of all conversations meriting
the name.
But. though such people are rightly

Choice Apples GO East

The first car load of apples from this
section was loaded at Twin Lakes, on
the /. & w. N, this week, destined to
DEVILS Lake, N. D., being transferred to
the Great Northern at Newport. This
is only forerunner of what may be ex-
pected when the several hundred acres
planted here come into bearing. Few
people realize the importance of the ap.
pie growing industry here, that it Is
steadily coming to the front and will
soon be one of our important industries.
We have the climate. we have the soil.
we have all the conditions necessary for
growing fine apples. What we need is
more orchardists. Only a few years

FIRE DEPARTMENT PROGRESS
Chief Appoints New Officers for
Ensuing Year.
Fire Ladies' Doing Fine Work.

The regular meeting of the new volun-
teer fire department was held at head
quarters Tuesday evening.
The following officers were appointed
bv Chief R. s. Anderson for the ensuing
year:
First Assistant Chief-O. C. Nelson.
Second Assistant Chief-C. B. Turn
bull.
Third Assistant Chiefs. w. Nelson.
Captain Hook and Ladder-Wm.
Kirklin.
During the past year IA fire alarm
calls were answered. Four of these
were in the business district, six in the
residence section and four on the Idaho
side. The property loss on the Wash.
ington side amounted to less than 5000.
while the properties endangered
amounted to over 10000.
Through the efforts of the the fremen
new hose cart, hook and ladder truck
and other equipment necessary was pur-
chased at cost of $3.50, incidentals
$3.50, total 1898 80. From three dances
and ball game about 5000 was realized,
the city paying SIS toward the new
equipment. in addition to purchasing
200 feet of hose, and the large bell.
A great deal of interest has been taken
by the firemen in their meetings and in
the work. Their arduous labors for the
past year have been most commenda BILE.
By quick and ready responses to all calls
they have kept the fire losses down to q
minimum.
There is movement planned to have
the city set aside certain amount of
money, to be known as the ''fire protec-
ton fund.-" to provide for addition al
apparatus, which will soon be needed,
and for the care of any membe who
might be injured while on duty.
Newport has reason to feel proud of
it's efficient and we'll managed fire de-
partment. Few towns of ite size can
boast of a better one. Certainly none
can show one run on~a more economical
oasis. With the cooperation of our
citizens the fire ''laddies" expect to
maintain even a higher standard of eff.
cheney.

The annual report of the county audi

ty as equalized for 1910 is SO, 1888. .729.
Receipts for the year totaled $56s ,341.

would agree to change Of the boundary.
the change could be accomplished by
amendment of the bill.
Other features of the bill haye not
been changed from the draft submitted
to the executive committee. The bill
provides that the people shall locate the
county seat at the general election OF
1912, majority vote of the people shall
then permanently locate the county
seat. Until such permanent location
shall be determined by this majority
vote the seat of county government shall
be at Newport.
1t is not reasonable to presume that
in determining the boundaries of the
new county the east side can have every
thing it's own way. 1t is remarkable
that up to this time the people of the
west side have offered no opposition to
county division, but are only insisting
that their own wishes be consulted.
There is nothing to indicate that they
will be unreasonable in anv matter, and
Messrs. Spedden and Anderson are war
ranted in not attempting to override the
wishes of their constituents.
The bill when introduced was ordered
referred to the Committee on Counties
and County Boundaries and ordered.
printed. Anyone who desires copy of
the bill can secure same by writing to
Representative Appleman at Olympia.
The people of this section have spoken
in no uncertain terms in favor of divis-
ion. Over 1900 of them have signed the
petitions and the demand of the petition
for division should not be treated lightly
or hedged around with technicalities.

NEWPORT AAS FOUR SALOONS
Council Passes Ordinances and
Grants Licenses
Saloons To Be Well Regulated.

At a meeting of the council Friday
evening. Jan. 20, saloon licenses were
granted to D. N. Mangone, Archie Me-
Donald, VIM. Heisner and John Koch
and they opened for business at .. No.
Saturday.
All OF the buildings in which the ga
looms are located have been previously
used for the same purpose, D. NJ. Man
gone using the old Ries building, which
he has had remodeied with a new plate
glass front and show windows, swinging
doors and a new steel ceiling. The in
terror has been handsomely decorated
and ia we'll lighted by electricity. he
has also put out handsome electric
sign. Archie Mcdonald has the room in
the basement of the Antler Hotel. VIM.
Heisner has the old Dunlap barroom
and John Koch has the place formerly
used by Weinkauff 4 Koch, which has
also been remodelled and made to con-
form with the provisions OF the ordi-
nance.
Before granting licenses the council
passed two new saloon ordinances, en-
bodying the rules and regulations by
which the saloons were to be run and
providing a penalty for the violation of
any of the provisions of the ordinance.
The ordinance to regulate the places
for the sale OF intoxicating liquors makes
it unlawful for anyone conducting sa-
loon to allow minors. women or lewd
persons to lo,ter in their places of busi-
ness. or to allow: fighting. profane Ian
guage or any acts by which the peace OF
the community may be disturbed; that
it should be unlawful to obstruct the
view to all parts of the inside by screens
or other devices that it should be un-
lawful to have any eide doors or doors
leading into other rooms. except that
such room shall be nsed exclusively for
storage; that it should be unlawful to
have any card or pool tables or benches
or gaming devices in their places OF
business; that it should be unlawful to
conduct any other business than that
specified in the license, and that $
should be unlawful to prevent or hinder
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1911-01-26

any 0mcer OF the town from entering or
inspecting the place of business at any
hour when it shall not be clos d, and
that the hours of doing business should
be from 5 a. N. to 10 p. M, except on
Saturday. when they will be allowed to
remain open until IL p. m. and must
then remain closed until 5 q. m. Mon
day.
The ordinance regulating the granting
OF licenses makes it necessary for anyone
wishing to conduct saloon or barroom
or to sell spirituous liquors within the
corporate limits OF the town to give in
full the name Of the person applying, to
definitely state the building or place
where the license is to be used, and to
have petition signed by at least 20 per
cent of the qualified electors of the town.
Every applicant for license must put
up bond of $4,000 approved by the
the mayor, conditioned that the appli-
c~nt run an orderly house and will COM
ply with the ordinances regulating the
sale of liquors, and that he will paw all
judgments recovered against him for
any violation of such ordinances. If the
applicant for license does not own the
building he must file the consent of the
|owner to the granting'of the license. No
licenses are to be granted until the ap-
plicant has put up bond and paid into
the treasury of the town $1,000 license
fee.
Any person violating the terms of the
ordinances and found guilty may be
fined in the sum of not less than 500 nor
more than 500 and the costs of prose-
cution, and. further. that the mayor and
council may in addition to the fine re-
woke the license of any person or firm
violating the ordinances.
The provisions of the ordinances may
seem very stringent to some, and many
are of the opinion that the laws will not
be fully complied with. but we have
every reason to believe that our mayor
and council will see that all provisions
of the ordinances are complied with ,and
that the liquor question of Newport will
be settled for some time to come.

DIVISION BILL INTRODUCED
Now in the Hands Of the House
Committee.
County Seat Election in 1872

The bill for the creation of the new
county of Pend Oreille vas presented In
the House of Representatives at Olympia
on Friday last by Representative Apple
man.
The bill as presented describes the
boundary as given in the printed peti-
ton circulated throughout the territory
of the proposed county. In the neigh
bortood of lone, and in territory west OF
that town, supplemental petitions had
been circulated, in which residents OF
that territory asked to be included in
the new county. Messrs. Trumbull and
Wolf, representing the county division
committee, attempted to have the terri
tory included in the bill, but were met
with opposition on the part of Repre-
sentative Spedden. Mr.. Spedden had
been instructed by the people of West
ern Stevens county that if the bill would
provide for the boundary in the printed
petition, there would be no objection Of
fered to the formation of the new coun.
tv. but that if any further encroachmen'
of the territory of Stevens county was
attempted, it was their wish that he
vigorously oppose it. and that they would
enter protests and work up general
fight against division.
This attitude on the part of the people
of the west side should not be too harsh
ly condemned. Up to this time they
had entered no protest against division.
They were in the position OF acquies
sing in division. which means decrease
in the class OF their county and the loss
of territory that was rapidly developing.
1t is not strange that they should resent
encroachment of what they believe are
their territorial rights.
Valuable time was being lost. An
other county division matter was being
pushed (that of Okanogan county, and
many other matters of legislation were
coming up that would hamper passat e
of the bill. It was thought best to in
troduce the bill and if later by cession
of an equal amount of territory in the
southwest part of the county. west OF
