it's almost wonderful to note the
enormous sale of raised doughnuts
at our bakery. The sales have been
steadily increasing until now. we
sell probably more of this particu-
lar dainty than all other Topeka

We make our raised doughnuts
from bread dough, which is spec

exceedingly light and tender. They
are fried in the purest of lard

The Cost Of Blowing Stumps.

Anything that appertains to the clear
ing of lands for cultivation is of inter-
est to the community, and the following
communication from S. Wyrick is from
a man experienced in the work:
81 have recently blown out the stumps
on nine acres of land a fraction more or
less perhaps, on which there were 1850
stumps, or an average of $50 stumps to
the acre of good sized average stumps.
To do this work used 1860 pounds of
powder, being one and one-sixth pounds
to the stump. The cost of the powder,
cap and fuse would not exceed 18 cents
per stump for the 1850 stumps. If
there is any method for removing this
number of stumps at less average cost
than Is cents would like to know it. -

COMMISSIONERS IN SESSION
Discussed Bonding and Other
Important Matters.
VIII Meet Again December 5th.

Seven states in the Union held cleo
tions Tuesday, and the results were
somewhat of a surprise, in that the
Republicans made gains where it had
hardly been expeated that they would
make better showing than last year.
Governor Foss. Democratic, was re-
elected IN Massachusetts,, but by a
greatly reduced majority. The lieuten-
ant-governor and the remainder of. the
state ticket are Republican.
In New York the Republicans re-
gained control Of the legislature and
administered a defeat to Tammanv in
Brooklyn and Queens county.
The New Jersey legislature will be
under Republican control, which will
prove somewhat of a handicap to Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, who is one of
the leading probabilities for the Demo
cratic nomination for president.
Kentucky went back to Democratic
control and Maryland was still in doubt
at last reports, with the probability that
the Democrats would control.
In Nebraska practically every state
Office passes to Republican control. One
Democratic congressman was elected.
New Mexico goes Democratic by 1900
in it's first election. Progressive Re-
publicans appear to have aided in bring
ing about this result.
In Philadelphia reform candidate
was elected mayor, overcoming a nor
NAL Republican majority of 100000
The growth of the Socialist party is
again evidenced by Ohio returns. The
Socialists elected mayors in two large
cities. Lima and Canton, and in eight
smaller cities. The Socialists came
within 5000 votes of electing a lieuten-
ant-governor in Mississippi. 1t is very
evident that dissatisfaction with the two
big parties is bringing many indepen-
dent voters into the ranks of the third
party.
Everett. the largest dry sea-coast
city in the world, elected a dry mayor,
indicating satisfaction with the present
conditions.

i've million dollars was taken into con-
slderation. The board has the power to
bond for i per cent of the assessed
valuation of the county without calling
an election for that purpose, and may
decide to do this, which would give
bonds to the amount of S73, 900, and
save the expense of special election
at this time. Mr.. Hartgrove will SUBJ
NIT bonding proposal to the board at
Its next session.
The Board adopted a resolution ad-
dressed to Senator Poindexter, inform
ing that gentleman that townships 80
and 40, Range 43, located west and
north of Metaline had been surveyed bv
the government and asking the Sena-
tors to use his best efforts to get the
acceptance of these surveys hurried, so
that settlers within that territory might
have an opportunity to file on their
lands.

Great N : nern Completes Improvement

The : eat Northern last week COM
pletesS5 lie double tracking of ID miles
of L n line from Java to Summit,
Montana, at the very crest of the Con-
tinental Divide. The work cost 81, ,5OO,- :
600 and was begun October /, 1909.
During the two years consumed in the
construction as many as 1900 men were
on the job at one time and there were
never less than 500
In addition to the double tracking the
old line has been practically rebuilt in
order to reduce curvatures and to i'm
prove the grades. In taking out the
curves of the old line the new track
crossed the former route So times in the
IA miles of construction.
The contract called for 1000, 600 yards
of grading and 3OO,O yards of ballast
ing. Two large cement tunnels were
made between Fielding and Highgate.

per mile. The actual Of the road within
the county is placed at 81, SOB, ,O58, and
it's equipment at $91, 799, total of
81, 900, ITO, which on the basis of 1924
per cent. makes a taxable valuation of
$467, ,889.
There are nine counties in the state
which have lower taxable valuation
than Pend Oreille county.
Twelve counties have smaller tax
able area of land than Pend Oreille.
The number of acres assessed in Pend
Oreille county is 397, 748, which is ex-
elusive of all town and city lots.
The number of acres fenced in the
county is given at 8847 and the number
of acres of timber land is 273, 436. The
average assessed value of the timber
lands is $4. 43 per acre.
Improved land acreage is given at
9O21 acres, and the average assessed
value per acre of these lands is $11 ga
per acre.
Unimproved land acreage, which does
not include timber land, is given at
lis, 291 acres, which is assessed at So. 38
per acre.
The county must raise for state taxes
the sum of $31, 1876, of which $12, 479 is
for the state general fund, $11,8 for
the state school fund, $1189 for the
military fund, and $5943 for the perma-
nent road fund.
There are assessed in the county 942
work horses, 191 horses years old and
under, stations and Is mules, 222 head
of yearling cattle, 1873 2-year-olds and
SO 3-year-olds or over. There are 587
mich COWS, 33 bulls and 100 stock sheep.
There are 1872 hogs and 2408 chickens.
The total number of acres owned by
the Northern Pacific Railway in Pend
Oreille county is 1923, 900. This is as
sessed at SAB, 1858, an average Of So. 81
per acre.
AS the average assessed valuation Of
timber lands is $4.4 43 per acre, and un-
improved lands in So. 38, it will be seen
that the Northern Pacific lands are as
sessed at the average rate, especially
when it is taken into consideration that
the N. P. lands are many of them in
remote and mountainous sections.
E. R. Brown, Of BLueslide, brought to
town Wednesday the hides of two lynx
that he shot in the mountains west of
Blueslide, and collected the SIS bounty
on each of them. Brown relates that
he encountered pack of four lynx
while out hunting, and succeeded in
bagging two of them.

Working for Rural Delivery

Residents of the country south and
southwest of Newport, in the Spirit
Valley and Spring Valley neighborhoods,
are preparing to make application for
rural free delivery of mail. To prepare
for that end they have made several
pieces Of road improvement to connect
up existing roads and make the proposed
circuit of delivery complete. Que of
requirements of the government before
instituting free delivery is that the
roads be placed in good condition, and
the parties working for the service have
been attending to this preliminary.

RESULTS OF THE ELECTIONS
Republicans Make Gains in Several
Eastern States.
Socialists Also Make Headway.

The county commissioners were IN
session Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week, adjourning Wednesday afternoon
until Dec. 5.
Besides attending to the usual routine
of business and allowing a grist Of bills
the commissioners took up the informal
discussion of several matters, which
will demand attention later on.
Among the matters discussed was the
problem Of providing transportation
across the Pend Oreille river at various
points, so that settlers on the east side
of the river may be enabled to reach
the railroad and find a market for their
timber and products and the produce OF
their ranches. The time is coming when
some methods must be devised, other
wise the development Of the east side
of the river will be badly handicapped.
Commissioner Mathews suggested
that the county should build and oper-
ate ferries across the river at several
points, and it was estimated that at
least five such ferries would be needed
between Newport and lone. The cost
of ferries would probably be not less
than $4,000 each, and maintenance would
average at least $50 per month each.
No official action was taken in the mat
ter.
The board also considered the matter
of bonding to take up the warrant in
debtedness of the county. AS soon as
the records are received from Colville
and the total cost Of transcribing is
known, the expense of starting out the
county can be computed, and the board
will be in shape to take up the bonding
matter. Mr.. Hartgrove, representing
the Union Trust and Savings Co., of
Spokane, was present and enlightened
the board on some matters relative to
the marketing of bonds and the kind of
bonds that would attract investors. Mr..
Hartgrove was of the opinion that the
Pend Oreille county bonds for sum in
the neighborhood of 100000 would
prove attractive when the fact that the
county has an assessable valuation of

FIGURES ON NEW COUNTY
Was Assessed Lower Than the
State Average.
Interesting Detail Information.

The State Board of Equalization hav-
ing concluded it's labors, report of its
deliberations has been issued in docu-
ment form, and copy of same has
been sent to Assessor Purchase.
From a perusal of this document it is
found that the Pend Oreille county as
sessment is computed by the State
Board to be on basis of 29 "a per cent.
of the actual valuation of it's real and
personal property. The average as
sessed ratio to actual value throughout
the state is found to be 80. SO per cent. !,
and the State Board has therefore
raised the assessed valuation of our
county from 1902, 7O3 to SIS, 942, 458.
This raise by the State Board does
not affect our taxation except so far as
the state levies are concerned. The
state general tax levy is g. mills, and
Pend Oreille county must pay to, the
state treasury for this fund the sum of
SIP, TAO. In order to raise this sum on
our valuation of 81, 8O2, 7O3, it, was nee
essary for our Board of County Com
missioners to levy 2.6 mills for this
fund. This applies also to the other
state levies. Had our assessment been
up to the state average the levy would
have been 81 mills, but it figures out
the same whether we pay the higher
rate on low average or the lower rate
on the higher average.
The Great Northern and Idaho &
Washington Northern Railroads are as
sessed in this county on the same basis
1924 per cent. of actual value.
The Idaho & Washington Northern is
assessed on 70. .761 miles of main line at
an actual value of $52, POI. 40 per mile
and 9.O23 miles of siding at $40, 440. 28
per mile. The actual value of the road
within the county is placed at So, 788, :
O26 and it's equipment at $469, $50, a
total of $4,257, ,586, which on the basis
of 1924 per cent. makes the taxable
value 81, ,244,918.
The Great Northern Railway is as
sessed on IA. 787 miles of main line at
an actual value of $96, O65. AZ per mile
and 4. 296 miles of sidings at $19, 213. 80

You Must Register to Vote

Up to date but lis voters have regis
tered in Newport precinct for 1911.
The registration books will close on
Wednesday, Nov. Is, and will remain
closed until after Dec. 5, the date of the
town election.
At the town election there will be
named mayor and two councilmen and
treasurer. Every voter should register
and be prepared to register choice on
these offices.
AS yet there appears to be no senti-
ment expressed regarding the matter
of filling the offices, and there appears
to be no good reason why a good ticket
cannot be nominated and elected with
out a contest.
The councilmen whose terms expire
are D. R. Lusher and George Torreson.

in the office of County Superintendent
Nell K. Irion, the number of children
in the county between the ages of and

This shows an increase of 1876 children.
In Standpoint school census the report
shows decrease of 80, the census this
year giving 1913, while last year the
census gave 1155.
The town council session of Tuesday

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being infamed
most of the time There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse al the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, I doctored with the best ply

CHAPTER XVIII.
When a Woman Would.

When a Woman Would.
The two pleasantest days of a woman
are her marriage day and the day of her
funeral,-Hipponax.
My garden at the Willamette might
languish if it like, and my little cabin
might stand in uncut wheat. For me,
there were other matters of more i'm
portance now. l took leave of hos
pitable DR.. Mclaughlin at Fort Van
couver with proper expressions of the
obligation due for his hospitality; but
l said nothing to him, of course, of
having met the mysterious baroness,
nor did l mention definitely that | in
tended to meet them both again at no
distant date. None the less, | pre-
pared to set out at once up the Co.
lumbia river trail.
From Fort Vancouver to the mis-
sions at Wailatpu was distance by
trail of more than 200 miles. This [
covered horseback, rapidly, and ar
rived two or three days in advance of
the English. Nothing disturbed the
quiet until, before noon of one day,
we heard the gun fire and the shout
ings which in that country customar-
lily made announcement of the arrival
of a party of travellers. Being on the
lookout for these, l soon discovered
them to be my late friends of the
Hudson bay post.
One old brown woman, unhappily
astride a native pony, | took to be
Threlka, my lady's servant, but she

looked again, until l found the bar
oness, clad in buckskins and blue
cloth, brave as any in finery of the
frontier. DR.. Mclaughlin saw fit to
present us formally, or rather care
lessly, it not seeming to him that two
SO different would meet often in the
future and of course there being no
dream even in his shrewd mind that
we had ever met in the past This
supposition fitted our plans, even
though it kept us apart. l was but a
common emigrant farmer, camping
like my kind. She, being of distinc-
ton, dwelt with the Hudson bay party

now. Come Natoka!"
The old servant paused at the door.
There slid across the floor with the
silent feet of the savage the tiny fig
ure of a little child, perhaps four
years of age, with coal-black hair and
beady eyes, clad in all the bequilled
nish-a little orphan child, as
learned later, whose parents had both
been lost in canoe accident at the
Dalles. She was an infant, wild, un-
trained, unloved, unable to speak a
word of the language that she heard.
She stood now hesitating, but that
was only by reason Of her sight OF me.
AS l stepped aside, the little one
walked steadily but with quickening
steps to my satin-clad lady on her
couch of husks. She took up the child
in her arms. Now, there must
be some speech between woman and
child. | do not know, except that the
Baroness Won Ritz spoke and that the
child put out a hand to her cheek

myself and not knowing what to do,
saw tears rain again from the eyes of
Helena Won Ritz, so that l turned
away, even as I saw her cheek laid
to that of the child while she clasped
it tight.
See, them" she said; there is my
companion across the mountains"
Again l began to expostulate, but
now she tapped her foot impatiently
in her old way "You have heard me
say it. Very well. Follow if you like

come down into this part of Oregon"
''They may not see the wagon trains
so soon," l ventured. "They would
scarcely arrive before October, and
now it is but summer"
"At least these British officers would

Character in the Eye.

Beware of the man who does not
look you clearly in the eye. He has
possibilities of evil in his nature.
There are eyes which are luminous,
others which seem to be yelled be-
hind a curtain.
Men and women of the world are
accustomed to judge human nature by
the expression of the eye. Many peo-
pie read character by the eyes, and
can thus distinguish the false from the
loyal, the frank from the deceitful, the
hard from the tender, the energetic
from the INDECENT, the sympathetic
from the Indifferent.

Out of more than 225 public hos
pitfalls for the insane, with popula-
ton of fully 10000, only 70, or less
than one-third, make any provision
for their tuberculous inmates, and
this, too, in spite of the fact that the
percentage of deaths from this disease
is very high among this class OF peo-
pie. Such is the substance OF state
ment made recently by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. Seventy hos
pitfalls in % states, providing all told
about $3.50 beds for tuberculous in
sane patients, sums up the provision
made for this class of sufferers, al
though the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis among the insane ranges
from so to 200 per cent. higher than
among the general population.
