FORM NEW COUNTIES?
Proposed BlII Will Change the Map
of Northeastern Washington.


of Northeastern Washington.
Olympia.-An omnibus county d.
vision bill which would change the
entire map OF northeastern Washing
ton is being prepared by representa-.
tives OF that part of the state.
This plan would cut up Stevens,
Ferry, Okanogan and Douglas coun-
ties and would leave In their stead six
entirely new divisions Of the state.
The division of Stevens County by
the amputation OF the eastern half to
form the new Pend Oreille County is
already practically assured. This Is
only the first of the provisions Of the
proposed omnibus bill. The Calispel
Mountains would form the county line
and Newport has already been Sc
lected as the new county seat.
Next the trainers Of the bill plan to
take the remainder Of Stevens County
and the east half of Ferry to make
the second of the new counties.
The third county of the six pro-
posed would be formed from the west
half of Ferry County and strip run
ming north and south from the east
side of Okanogan County, comprising
about one-third of the territory Of that
division.
The fourth county would be, under
this plan, the northwestern corner of
Okanogan County. This would be
rectangular county including approx
mately half of the present territory of
Okanogan.
The fifth county would be formed
from the southern part OF okanogan
and the northern part of Douglas.
This county would be, roughly speak
ing, triangular in shape, apexing at
the northeast corner of the present
Douglas County.
The final county would be formed
of the remainder of Douglas.

wealthy Alaska Miner Returns TO

BenefactOP

Reno, New. H. Merritt, one of
the owners of Valdez Creek Consol-
idated and other valuable Alaskan
mining properties, arrived in Gold
field searching for Charles Beesley,
former county commissioner. who in
1904 befriended Merritt when he
walked to Goldfield from Tonopah
with sixty-five cents available assets.
Merritt left for Boston. He said
that the power of attorney he had
obtained from Beesley years ago had
been utilized in cutting him in on
valuable properties. Beesley is esti-
mated to hold shares in Alaska pro-
perties valued at $25O,OOO, including
one-tenth of Valdez Consolidated
Beesley has had a run of hard luck
here. He was burned in June, 1910,
while rescuing his wife and children
from a blaze that destroyed their
home. He lost money in mining his
business became practically a failure
and he was defeated for county treas
lrer. He is now resident of Santa
Cruz, He chanced to be here when
Merritt arrived. The latter saws:

Official Naval Statement on Blowing
Up of the Maine Is Given Out.

Washington.-George Won l.. Mey-
er, secretary of the navy, gave out
the first official statement bearing
on the cause of the Maine disaster in
Havana harbor in 1898 which has
been made by the navy department
since the work of examining and re-
moving the wreckage began.
The secretary of the navy, after re-
ceiving the report of w. l.. Capps, for
mer chief constructor in the navy,
who has just returned from examin-
ing the wreck. and otter receiving re-
ports from Rear Admiral Nathan C.
Twining, chief of the navy bureau of
ordnance, inclines to the view that
an external explosion blew up the
ship
In his statement Secretary Meyer
says:
ION February IA, 1898, the U.
;. S Maine was destroyed by an ex-
plosion in the harbor of Havana, Gu
ba. The cause of the explosion which
destroyed her has never been def
nitely aseertained, but the naval court
of inquiry which investigated the cir
cumstances reported that the initial
explosion was due to a mine or other
cause external to the ship.
In spite of these facts statements
are frequently made in the press and
elsewhere that the destruction of
the Maine was, or may have been due
to spontaneous combustion of smoke
less powder on board That such
could not conceivably have been the
case is shown by the fact that there
was no smokeless powder on board
the Maine at the time of the explo-
sion This fact is a matter of record
in the bureau of ordnance. where an
accurate record is kept of the distri
button of all powder belonging to the
navy.
whether or not examination of The
wreck of the Maine shall disclose the
cause of her destruction, it is impos-
siole that it should indicate as the
cause the deterioration of smokeless |
powder

Washington, Oct. 25.-Ever alert
TO the garnering of the gold Washing
ton has evolved a new idea to swell
its revenue. A movement has been
started to make weeks holiday of
the presidential Inauguration, with
proper side attractions before and af-
ter the great event. Optimists lead
ing the movement figure that half a
million sight-seers would be lured to
the National Capital on this basis
II can readily be seen that an eXpen-
diture of even three dollars a day by
this mass of visitors would fatten the
Golfers of the hotels, restaurants
boarding houses, street railroads and
possibly the saloons. with skads and
skads of money.
The latter has been brought to the
attention of the Board of Trade, the
Chamber of Commerce and the Fed
GRAFTON of Citizens Association. An
effort will be made to interest Presi-
dent Taft and procure his aid in the
enterprise
They propose TO call the annex to
the inauguration a patriotic celebra-
ton but there are also to be Mardi
Gras features that will coax the dimes
and quarters from the rural guard.
Fireworks, military parades and pa
triotic professions made up of allie
gorical and historical floats are am
ong the allurements in contempla-
ton.
With the endorsements of the or
ganizations named it is designed to
press the matter in congress.
An argument advanced in support
of the project is that under present
conditions Washington is placed at
the mercy of the weather of a single
day. 1t is contended that this risk
keeps many persons from coming to
the inaugurations but if they were
assured of a full week of festivities
their number would be increased
many fold.

Students Attacked by Landlady
Whose Husband Lies Seriously Ill.
Urbana, Ill.-Armed with a big
whip, Mrs. Andrew J. Miller, wife of
former States Attorney Miller of
Champaign county attacked fifteen
University of Illinois sophomores as
they sought to break into the Miller
house
Strength was lent her arm by the
knowledge that her husband was in
a critical condition after months of
illness and might be given serious
setback If a disturbance was raised
within by the intruders.
When Mrs. Miller appeared with the
whip the would-be hazers had effect
ed an entrance by crawling UP a
lattice work on porch and forcing
second story window. They were
seeking TO break into rooms occupied
oy freshmen, who were to be sub
Jected to the usual indignities if cap
tured. Mrs. Miller Welded the whip
with effect upon several members of
the band, who received lashes on
their faces. All hurriedly escaped,
some jumping from the second story
to the ground.
Medical attention was necessary to
calm Mr.. Miller, who grew greatly
excited during the combat. An effort
VIII be made to identify the members
OF the party. The university has al
ready dismissed two students for haz-
ing.

New York.-Isidor Straus. treasur-
er of the New York branch of the Ma
tional Citizens League, in answer to
the Springfield speech of James J..
Hill last week declares that the peo-
pie, as represented by congress, and
not the bankers of the country should
reform the banking system of the
country.
"A sound banking and currency sys-
TEN is one of the foundations of ma
tonal prosperity" said Mr.. Straus.
Mr.. Hill thinks it should be made
sound by the bankers and not by the
people through their representatives
IN congress. If we wait for the bank
ers TO give us a modern banking and
currency system, we will have anoth-
er panic as disastrous as that Of four
years ago this month.
1T is problem that touches too
closely the welfare of every citizen
to be left to a few thousand bankers
for settlement The fight for sound
money was fought and won by the
people; so must be the fight for sound
credit. And l believe the bankers of
the country are ready to take counsel
with the business men"

SO rapidly that we became alarmed and de-
cided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Not until I commenced using Cuticura
Soap and Ointment could we tell what he
looked like, as we dared not wash him, and
had been putting one application after
another on him. On removing the scale from
his head the hair came off, and left him
entirely bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much
hair as ever. Four weeks after we began to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment he was
entirely cured. don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Remedies
we could hardly look at him, he was such
a pitiful sight. He would fuss until would
treat him, they seemed to relieve him so much.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment stand by them
selves and the result they quickly and surely
bring is their own recommendation. (Signed)
