Sold the Warrants

On October II Bliss Phillips, treasurer
of Stevens county, sold through the Bank
OF Colville 100000 of the warrants is -ued
by Pend Orville county to Stevens coun-
ty in payment of county division. The
terms of the sale were par with accrued
interest from the time of registration,
Sept. II. 1911, making the total amount
received $50, 400. Considering the fnan-
clal situation, this is regarded as very
good price ior the warrants. This money
has been nsed in call in current expense
warrants, and as a result this fund is
now on cash basis.-Statesma Index.
The fact that the warrants sold at par
indicates that the credit of the new
county is rated high.

Millions for Poultry That Might Be Spent
in the Spokane Country

The Spokane country needs 5000 rails
ers of poultry.
This is the deliberate Judgment of
specialists on the subject.
The Inland Empire last year produced
$4,000, 1000 of poultry and eggs. But
Spokane had to import ~1,sOO,uOO dozen
eggs and millions of dollars of dressed
poultry from the central west.
This money ought to have been kept
at home. There was no need of this part
OF the wealth of the Pacific Northwest
being drained away. The climate, the
markets and the opportunities in inten-
slve farming combine to render poultry
raising highly profitable business in
the Spokane country. The demand is
stronger than ever and prices proper
tlonately high.-Spokesman- Review.

ASPHALT ON MACADAM.
New York Highway Commission to

New York Highway Commission to
Improve Newbure Roads.
At the annual session OF the New
burg board Of supervisors last De-
cember the New York state highway
commission submitted proposal tor
paving Cochecton turnpike with BRICK
at the joint expense OF the state and
county. This method of improvement
was strongly urged by County Engl-
neer Smith. The supervisors decided,
however. that in view of the state OF
the cOuntys finances with respect to
good roads they could not afford to
Obllgate the county for half the cost
OF brick paving. and accordingly they
tabled the communication from the
state commission.
Now the state authorities have de-
cided to wait no longer tor the CO.
operation OF the county in improving
the road. The state highway commits
sion has prepared plans for macadam-
izing two or more miles OF the turn
pike in the Coldenham section. where
the condition OF the thoroughfare is
worst
The macadam will be given an
asphalt surfacing and the result. will
be a fine stretch of road. The i'm
provement may be later extended and
fine roadway provided all the way
between Newburg and Montgomery.

The Dark Day.

One hundred and thirty-one years
ago Friday-May 10, 1880 - the
people at that time living in the
northeastern part of New England,
southern New York and northern
New Jersey were doing whole lot
of thinking. 1t was the famous
Dark Day. the memory of which
never faded from the minds of those
who witnessed it, and the tradition
of which is still alive.
From the most reliable accounts.
the darkness began about IL o'clock
in the forenoon, became more and
more dense, without being very long
about it either, and lay like a great
black mantle over everything for the
rest of the day.
1t appears to have been blackest
in Massachusetts, black. indeed,
that all but the most cultured of
the Bostonese began to feel as if
"Old Sol" had struck snag and
was in fair way OF going out of
business altogether
The candles had TO be lighted and
red lights hung out in every direc-
ton. The chickens went to roost at
midday and the cattle wore
puzzled look, as though they were
facing mystery that was not as
safe as it might be.
A great many persons were firm
ly of the opinion that the world was
coming to an end, and some of the
more pious of them betook them
selves to religious exercises in dead
earnest, singing, praying and pros
trating themselves at the doors of
churches.
So great was the effect upon the
minds of the people that for months
afterward the extra seriousness was
very much in evidence and it is
said that the acquisitions to the
churches in consequence Of the
Dark Day" were many.
So peverse, however. is human
nature, it was not long before the
solemnity wore off and things went
on about the same as before the
darkness fell upon the land.
1t is good to note the fact that
there was at least one person who
perfectly preserved his physical,
mental and moral poise in the midst
of the semi-chaos.
The Legislature of Connecticut
was in session at the time, it

seems and as the blackness Of dark
ness kept coming on thicker became
so frightened that motion was
made to adjourn. the mover of the
resolution for adjournment declar-
ing with solemn mien and sepul-
chral voice that from all appear
ances the day of Judgment was
close at hand
Upon this member named Dav-
enport stood up in his place and in
firm tones delivered himself of the
following remarkable little speech:
Mr.. Speaker, | am not repaired to
say just what the situation is, but
certain ! am that il is either the
Day of Judgment or il is not. II
II is there is no need for adjorun-
ment. If it is, ] for one desire to

proceed to business"

thing they keep negroes away from
our place. You see there is the
chicken coop on one side OF the
yard and the watermelon patch on
the other, and you couldn't get Il
darky to go into either after sun
down for any number of chickens
of watermelons.
The only thing mind about it
Is that some people try to
