Royal Hawaiians Coming

A unique and interesting enter tain
ment is billed for Kelly's Hall next
Monday, July 81. We have all heard
so much about our southern COLONY, the
Hawaiian islands, since they were an
nexed to the United States that the
mere name Hawaiian suggests all
kinds of imaginary pictures. both of the
country and its interesting people.
Next Monday the Royal Hawaiians
will make their first appearance in New
port. They are a company of young
men, well educated and refined, and as
musicians and singers are in class by
themselves. The soft mellow voices
blend harmoniously with the rich
stringed instruments and the result is
startling and delightful.
They will take an American selection
or song and introduce a harmony and
effect that cannot be attained by any
other instruments. The company he's
just closed a short vaudeville engage
ment over one of the big circuits and
were billed as ''headliners." Seats on
sale at Schmidt's Pharmacy.

rig, when the husband stepped out to 90
back into the camp for moment, and
the lady raising her parasol, the horse
took fright and made lunge. throwing
her out. She was pinned up against
big tree by the rig and held there until
the horse pulled out the front end of the
rig and made his escape. Her breast
bone was broken, several ribs broken,
and she sustained other serious injuries.
DR.. Phillips was called and rendered

Arcadia Company Gets Water Rights.

There we're recorded in the Office of the
county auditor on Wednesday some
very important papers covering water
rights filed on in the name of the Ar
cadia Orchards Co., of Deer Park.
The filings were on the following
streams and lakes:
Waters of Winchester creek. near Sec.
6-32 43.
Waters of Horseshoe Lake, near Sec.
7-3O-43.
Waters of Smalls creek, near 1888 -43.
Waters of Sacheen Lake in 35-3l-43.
Waters of east fork of Small's creek,
near 17-33-43.
The instruments recorded state that
the waters are to be used for irrigation
and power purposes in Townships 26,
81, 20, 20 and 80. Ranges Al, AZ and AZ,
lying in Stevens, Spokane and Pend
Oreille counties.
It is easy to see how the waters Of
Horseshoe and Sacheen lakes can be
used in connection with the company's
big irrigation project in the neighbor'
hood of Deer Park, but it is hard to un'
derstand how the waters of Winchester
and Small creeks, which flow into the
Calispel valley, can be diverted and CON
veyed to the project.
The Arcadia Orchards Co. claims t.
be the largest orchard proposition in the
west, and in the past few years has de-
veloped hundreds of acres of orchard
land in the vicinity of Deer Park main
tanning selling agencies in eastern states
that are disposing of large areas.

Funeral Of Ralph K. Kennedy.

The remains of Ralph Kennedy ar
rived in Newport Friday morning from
Salem, Oregon. Funeral services were
held at the Congregational church in the
afternoon, Rev. F. E Whitman, officlat-
ing, and were largely attended by SYM
pathizing friends. He was laid to rest
in the I. O. o. F. cemetery on the lot
adjoining the resting place of his mother,
the services at the grave being conducted
by Newport Masonic Lodge, of which
Ralph was a member.
Ralph K. Kennedy was born in Can
ada Sept. 8, 1879, and moved to Super.
ior, Wis, when a boy. He came west
fifteen or sixteen yerrs ago. and lived in
Newport and Dalkena for number OF
years, working on the Pend Oreille river
in various capacities. He was married
Aug. 81, 1909, in Pocatello, Idaho, to
Miss M. L. Hall, of Newport.
Since April l he had been firing on
the u s. dredge Champoag on the Will.

dredge having recently moved to the
Eola Rapids, above Salem. The par
ticulars regarding his death are as fol-
lows:

jumped headlong into the river to try to
save him. Ralph came up once and
swam eight or ten yards. but the current
was swift and he evidently took cramps,
as he soon went down not to come up
again. Life boats were out in a very
few minutes and also divers from Salem
in short time. The Masons of Salem
brought the city diver from Portland to
look for the body.
The body foated to Salem, four miles,
and was picked up by log drivers st
hours after the accident. Capt. Moss,
of the dredge, and Mrs. Miller, friend
of Mrs. Kennedy, were called and iden.
titled the body. Mrs. Kennedy and
Mrs. Miller were on the launch and wit.

Mrs. Kennedy was accompanied from

Working on Our County Records

Henry R. Spedden, who is now max
ing a search of the archives of Stevens
county, preparatory to the commence
ment of the work on Monday of trans
cribing the records for the new county
[of Pend Oreille, has brought to light
many documents important in estab-
fishing landmarks of early Stevens coun-
to history.
Among the earlv records of the audi
tors Office may be found instruments
touching property now situated in Okla
hogan, Douglas. Grant. Lincoln, Spo-
kane and Whitman counties, and one
instrument purports to convey property
in Dayton.
The newness of Pend Oreille county is
attested by the fact that there are few
land records dating back more than Is
years, but certificates of mining loca-
tions run back more than 80 years.
Six men have been putting in long
hours selecting instruments entitled to
be transcribed. and in one case run
was made over 1000 instruments, among
which one only was found covering
property in the new county.

The Attractions at the Van
cOuver Exhibition.

The Vancouver Exhibition Associa-
tion this year is determined to make
their exhibition one Of the best in
Canada as far as attractions are con-
cerned. Every taste will be catered
for, and, as horse racing has always
been recognized the leading attrac
tion, not only in the American con-
tinent, but in Europe, special atten-
ton has been given to this feature.
In order to take the first position in
harness races the Association have
offered 1872, 700 in prizes, which is
more money than offered by any other
three Associations in Canada, and is
also more than offered by any of the
big meetings on the Grand Circuit.
The b. G. Motor Cycle Club have
promised to enter full classes in a
program consisting Of six Motor cycle
races. 1t is also expected that there
will be two automobile races and, as
the track at Hastings park is par
ticularly adapted for very fast time
it is expected that probably some of
the Canadian records will be broken.
Arrangements are being made by
Mr.. Fl. Cowan, chairman of the Sports
Committee, to put on number OF
contests between the Senior Amateur
Lacrosse teams for a cup donated by
John Hamburg, ESQ.,, of Vancouver
and twelve valuable medals donated

THE APPLE CROP.

What about the prospect for an
apple crop? am in receipt of ex-
changes from most of the leading
apple growing sections. The Pacific
Coast will be short of an average crop.
The man who reports to the contrary
is either ignorant or is trying to de-
ceive. New York is short on winter
apples, likewise Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan. Taking the
country all over the apple crop will
not be up to the average. The
drought, the bitter rot, the codling
moth, wind and hail storms have cut
down the estimate 10 per cent in the
last month and the probability is
another drop will be reported a month
hence. The apple shippers will soon
meet and we may expect them to re-
port a big crop. Soon after the apple
growers will meet in their Soon
gress"(?) and they will report short
crop. Which class has the better
chance to know, the men who raise
the apples or the men who live in
cities and ''buy and sell and get
gain?" 1 could fill pages from my
exchanges in which there are in
dubitable evidences that we will have

SUNNI Err PRUNING.

| am just in receipt of a letter,
dated July %, in which the writer
inquiries if it is too late to do sum-
mer pruning. 1t certainly is. L re-
piled privately but believe there are
others who need such information.
Water sprouts and suckers may be
cut or pulled Oft any time in the year.
We do not, however, call this prun-
ing. August is the best time to cut
off or dig out suckers that grow up
from the roots. The So called water
sprouts may be cut or pulled off in
August. But do not cut limbs of any
size later than the month of June.
The formation of the cambium layer,
which is but another name for new
growth, takes place in May and June.
That is the time when a wound will
heal the quickest. The tree grows
but very little in size of body or limb
after the middle of the summer
From that time on the tree is storing
up elaborated sap to be used the next
spring. That is an entirely different
thing from growth. AS rule 1 do
not recommend summer pruning. If
the tree is unfruitful, pruning in
early June will check the growth and
tend to the formation of fruit buds.
But this is rarely needed in this
country.

answer to this question. We are in
the grip of the express companies and
our congressman are afraid to move
in the matter. These express COM
panies are composed largely of rail-
road officials and once year, at least,
these express companies 'cut big
melon" and divide up millions Of
dollars among themselves and we, the
people, pay the bill. More of this
some other time.
