Deputy Sheriff Jenne was called to
Elk Sunday morning by a telephone
call from Under Sheriff BRYANT, From
there they went to Camden, in this
county, and arrested Luther Campbell,
proprietor of soft drink resort, and his
bartender. man named Glllingham, on
the charge Of bootlegging and conduct
ing gambling resort.
Under Sheriff Bryant had been in the
vicinity disguised as lumberjack, and
gathered evidence that gam bling was
going on and that whisky was being sold
under the name of ginger ale. On the
arrival of Deputy Sheriff Jenne at Elk
the two oficrrs walked to Camden and
placed the offenders under arrest. The
prisoners were brought to Newport and
taken to Colville in the afternoon.
Campbell is an old offender, having been
arrested on the same charge in this
county once before.

F. L. WoLr.
1t is reasonable to presume that the
bill will pass the senate unless very
serious complications arise, and the
house having given it the
splendid vote OF Friday last
it would seem that the last objection
had been surmounted. The great cause
of delay and opposition has been the
clause making Pend Oreille represen-
tative district and providing for one ad-
ditional representative in the House.
The counties containing the large cities
have opposed this clause, while the
country or ''cow counties" have insisted
on the clause remaining aud establish
ing tie precedent that each county
should haye one representative. Thus
the county division bill became a
matter of state wide principle and was
fought out on that line

CEMENT co. IS NON-SU|TED
Secured Franchise and Spent
$l,Oo0,00o in Development.
Forestry Department Recognized.

The case of the Spokane Portland Ce-
ment Co, vs. Lewis Larson, j. D. Clark,
w. NJ. Miller and the Inland Portland
Cement Co., which has been on trial to
jury in the superior court for the last
week. was concluded Saturday by an or
der nonsuiting the plaintiff.
From the evidence that the Inland
Portland CHment Co., acting under aud
through title obtained from Larson,
Clark and Miller. established mineral
rights at the mouth of Sullivan creek of
the Pend Oreille forest reserve, and for
the purpose of user appropriated the
waters of Sullivan lake, some miles back
from the Pend Oreille river. and built
fumes, canals and conduits across the
intervening county to convey the water
to the big cement works recently built
at the northern terminus of the Idaho &
Washington Northern Railroad.
Before proceeding with development,
however, the corporation obtained from
the United states forestry department a
5O-year lease of the franchise easement,
use and occupancy of the lands within
the forest reserve, agreeing to pay an
annual rental, and spent more than
81, 600, 900 in development of the power
and building of the cement plant.
The interesting feature of the case
was the recognition bv the court of the
authority of the forestry department
over lands in the forest reserve, the
court holding that the forestry depart
ment could, of right, make and enforce
reasonable rules and regulations respect
ing the ma anner of acquisition OF mineral
and other lands under it's jurisdiction 80
long as such rules do not conflict with
laws of the state or of the United States.

Preparatory for the spring rush the
Newport Washington Land Co. has en-
gagged the services OF E. E. Jones az
bookkeeper and clerk. Mr.. Jones was
formerly with large eastern concern.
He arrived from Chicago this week and
has already assumed his new duties.
The Newport Washington Land Co.,
being the oldest and strongest realty
firm in Stevens county, has been an I'M
portant factor in building up and devel-
oping this district. They have shown
unbounded faith in the future of New
port by the investment of a large sum
of money and within the past year have
added to their holdings here.
This season will show an increased
activity in the clearing OF orchard tracts
and several other large projects are un-
der way. improvements in Cedar Park
begun last year will be continued. and
in addition to graded streets city water
will be installed, sidewalks put down
and the electric light system extended
on Fifth, Valley and Spring streets.
With these improvements it will make

In fact, their plan is more liberal than

NEWPORT POPULATION 1899
Does Not Include Several Adci-
tons Nor Idaho Side.
Towns Total Is Nearer 1000.

The MINER received q telegram Sat-
urday from Director Durand OF the
United States Census Bureau, to the
effect that the population of the incor-
porated town of Newport. Wash.. was
1899 at the timesof the taking of the
censns OF last spring.
This showing is fully as great as was
expected as the circumstances of the
case are such that Newport, could not
receive full credit for the full population
she possesses. There are fully 200
people residing in additions to the town
that are not within the corporate limits
and therefore not included in the official
count. In addition there are at least
400 on the Idaho side of the town, which
are in every way q part of the town,
and whose interest is here but unfortu-
nately being cut off from us by the
state line they cannot be counted with
us and not being Incorporated by them
selves can get no specific mention.
Thus Greater Newport, including the
Idaho side and the additions on the
Washington side that are not within the
incorporation, has q population between
1900 and 1000.
Ten years ago Newport consisted of
only q few houses and stores ou the
Idaho side. What is now the incorpor-
ated town had just been plated and
there were few people living on the new
town site. which inten years shows a
growth to 1899.
Other towns IN this vicinity are re-
ported as having population as follows:
Colville 1872, Chewelah 1923, Davenport
1929. Deer Park 875, lone 6s4. Kettle
Falls 377, Northport 476, Sprlngdale 251.

Monday, Feb. l3, was observed as
legal holiday as the result of the hasty
passage by the house and senate of the
bill providing that when a legal holiday
falls on Sunday the Monday following is

by the governor on Feb. 8. This meas.
ure was favored by the banks and bank
ing institutions of the state, and both
Newport banks and the postoffice were
closed on that day.

Forty Criminal Cases in Stevens County

80
The clerk of Stevens county has re-
ported to the state bureau of inspection
that during the year 1910, 40 criminal
cases were heard in Stevens county and
80 convictions secured. In no other
county in the state did the number of
convictions 90 nearly approximate the
number of cases heard, except in Doug
las, San Juan Island and Walla Walla
counties. Throughout the state 2418
criminal eases were tried and 1899 con-
victions secured. Civil actions tried in
Stevens county numbered 3l3, and pro-
bate cases 95. Stevens county granted
33 divorces, as against 2795 for the state

BILL PASSES THE HOUSE
Vote 80 to 6---Emergency Clause
Fails to Garry.
On Senate Calendar Friday.

After having been held in the Rules
and Order Committe of the House for
u week the bill for creating the county
of Pend Oretlle was placed on the calen-
dar for action on Friday last. When
the hill was reached the the tbitd read
ing was dispensed with by unanimous
consent and the bill placed on final
passage.
Before the roll call was taken Repre-
sentative Buchanan, of Spokane. and
several of the King county members,
asked the privilege of explaining the
vote they were about to cast. They
stated th..t the b!ll was meritorious and
that the people of this section deserved
relief from present conditions and that
they had been in hopes ofbeing able to
vote favorably. However they could
not vote tor the bill if it provided for
the creation of q new representative
district. Other members of the King
county delegation arose and said that
they had opposed the bill on the
same grounds but felt that the bill being
meritorlous their personal objections on
the ground of representation should be
waived and they would vote for the bill.
Representative Spedden asked per-
mission to be excused from voting. He
stated that he was in the abst ractlng
business doing business here and was a
director in the Pend Oreille Title and
Trust Compay, articles of incorporation
of which were filed on Feb. 4th, and as
there was some question as to his right
to vote he was excused from doing go.
On the roll call the vote was so to
in favor OF the bill, with ten absent and
not voting. Four members of the King
county delegation, one from Spokane
and one from Kittias opposed the bill.
On the roll call for the emergency
clause only As votes were cast in favor
of the emergency clause and it was
therefore lost, two-thirds vote being
required to carry the emergency. The
voting down of the emergency clause
means that the bill does not become ef-
fective until 9U days after the governor
signs it.

SAVING THE GIRDLED TREES
Grating Is often Necessary Where
Mice and Rabbits Have Been at
Work-How IL Is Done.

1t is often necessary to resort TO
grating to save tree that has been
girdled by mice or rabbits. This is
done by forming what Is called a
bridge graft. The wound should first
be dressed by cutting away the rag
ged edges and painting the exposed
surface with lead paint.
Slender scions are used and are cut
thinly, wedge-shaped at both ends and
from one and one-half to two inches
longer than the wound Is wide. Slip
the knife blade between the bark and
wood on one side of the wound. Start
one end Of the. scion under the bark
and push down firmly. then spring out
the scion and start the other end un.
der the bark on the other side In the
same way.
The scion should now extend three
fourths to one inch under the bark on
each side. The bark is tied tightly
over the scions and the whole. scions
and ALL covered with wax. These
scions are to serve as bridge
through which plant food may pass
and If growth starts on them It should
be rubbed off. They should be set as
close together as possible around the
stem.
