The case of Charles F. Craig VS.. the
Town of Newport, which involves the
validity of the warrants issued by the
town in payment of lease on the Car

S. w. Rogers appeared for the town
and Mr.. Losey, of Spokane, for Mr..
Craig. No evidence was introduced,
the facts in the case having been agreed
upon and presented to the court. The
attorneys presented their arguments
and Judge Miller took the case under
advisement. Up to the time OF going
to press no decision had been reported.

and eaten today, and the price of what
few there are is practically what they
will fetch.
Of fresh eggs there is fair supply
selling, wholesale, at SIP case and re-
tailed at 40 and 45 cents dozen. Eggs
that are all right for cooking or frying
but not for boiling, may be had for 80
and 35 cents the dozen. Storage eggs
are So per case, wholesale.
Speaking of the egg situation, w. E.
Manley, manager of the Smith Manley
Produce Co., and C. Morford, of the
Schallinger Produce Co., both said that
owing to unusually large shipments
from the middle western states of stor-
age eggs this spring and summer to
markets east of Chicago, the stock on
hand in the states the Pacific northwest
looks to for its supply is below normal,
and this in spite of the fact that there
was an increase of 341, 900 cases this
season. This situation encourages the
merchants in Nebraska, Minnesota and
Dakota to demand higher price, but
there would seem to be no danger of
the supply of storage eggs falling be-
low the demand
The wholesale merchants say there
have been more storage eggs sent to
country dealers than ever before from
this city, which shows two things, the
widespread storage Of fresh eggs in
Washington and the profitable outlook
for those who seriously contemplate
undertaking the rearing of poultry in
the Spokane country.

PROFIT LIES IN DIVERSITY
Local Farmers Should Help Fur
nish Food Supply.
Hog Raising Brings Good Returns

That the Panhandle of Idaho and
Northeastern Washington present the
best opportunities of the entire North
west for diversified farming is the con-
clusion of Prof. Elliott, formerly dean
of the faculty of Washington State Col
lege at Pullman.
Prof. Elliott was a recent visitor at
Newport, and while here visited several
farms in this vicinity, and from his OBJ
servations here and elsewhere through
out this section mentioned came to the
above conclusion. He picks this section
for its adaptability to the diversified
forms of farming, including dairying,
cattle and hog raising, poultry farming,
grain and hay raising and horticulture.
The professor was so strongly i'm
pressed that, after years of investiga-
tion in search of a place to locate after
retiring from school work, he has pur-
chased land in Bonner county and will
proceed to it's development.
George II Bobier, one of our local
farmers, this week furnished a demon
stration of the profit in hog raising.
Last spring Mr.. Bobier purchased two
late fall pigs at 81 each, and fattened
them for market on produce raised on
his ranch near Wolfred. This week he
sold the two to Louis Kirchan, of New
port, for 500, one of them weighing 40(
pounds, the other 290 pounds. Mr.. Bo,
bier has certainly found hog raising
profitable, and has set a mark that other
ranchers should follow with profit to
themselves and the community in gen.
eral
The Inland Empire is importing E
large part of it's meat and poultry pro-
ducts, which could and should be raised
in this section. The following from the
Spokesman-Review indicates that the
usual condition prevails in the egg mar

purposes, there is famine of abso

STATE CENSUS STATISTICS
Washington Made Phenomena
Growth in Last Decade.
FarExceeds National Rate of Gain

An interesting document recently is
sued is the United States census bulle-
tin giving report of the population of
the state of Washington by counties
and minor civil divisions since the date
of the first census taken. From this
bulletin are cleaned the following facts
and figures:
The population Of Washington is
1,141, 800. Compared with population
of 518, 1O3 in 1900, this represents an
increase during the last decade Of $685.
887, or 1904 per cent. During the same
period the total population of continen-
tai United States increased Fl per cent
The percentage of increase for the pop
ulation of the state during this decade
is nearly three times that for the pre-
ceding decade, 1890-1900, when the rate
was As per cent.
Washington was organized as terri
tory in 1853 and appears in the Federal
census reports for the first time in 1860.
During the so years since 1860 its pop
ulation has increased very rapidly, the
lowest rate of increase being As per
cent during the decade 1890-190O. The
per centages of increase for the four
other decades ranged from 1866 to
375.6
The population Of the state in 1910
was more than SO times as large as in
1860, when the population of Washing
ton was first returned, while the popu-
lation of continental United States in
1910 was less than three times that in
1860.
Washington has 81 cities. Seattle,
the largest, has population of 237, 1874,
and Spokane, the second city, popu-
lation of 104, 4O2. Tacoma, with 80, 74s
inhabitants, is the only other city in the
state having over $4,000 inhabitants.
There are also 5 cities having from
10000 to $4,000, from 5000 to 10000
13 from 25OO to 5000, and Sc less thar
25OO inhabitants. The aggregate popu
lation of these 81 cities is CAT, 1886, OF

Complete Lodging Raiload Survey.

F. u Mayhem, assistant engineer of
an engineering crew since last spring,
has finished work for the season. The
crew ran lines for logging road west
along Big Muddy creek from lone, across
the divide into Stevens county as far as
Cronin, and from thence circled back to
the Little Pend Oreille lakes. A total
of twenty miles of location was made,
of which about seven miles were in
Stevens county. The country traversed
is one of rich timber values, with good
percentage of white pine. The object
of the road in making these surveys is
to be prepared to build logging roads
quickly as soon as conditions Of the
lumber market warrant the investment.
Until such time comes there will be
nothing doing in the construction line.
The l. & W. N. engineering department
expects to continue the work of locating
logging roads throughout the country
tributary to the road.

Failed to Find Evidence to Convict

Two transients, giving the names of
Jack Young and Ernest Rackowicz,
charged with having passed two bogus
S2O bills on an Italian named Joe Vog-
rig, and relieving him of the balance of
his roll, amounting to $135, were taken
OFT the Bonners Ferry local, eastbound,
Thursday evening by local officers. The
scene of their operations was Train No.
3, which the trio boarded at Bonners
Ferry during the afternoon after Vogrig
had cashed check for $135.
On the train the two transients made
up to Vogrig and piled him with some
Bonners Ferry dry booze, and in
duced him to exchange good money for
two $40 bills of the Bank of New Bruins
wick, New Jersey, an institution long
since defunct. At Scotia the two left
the train, and Immediately after Vogrig
discovered that his roll was missing and
notified the conductor of the train.
Local officers were notified, and learn
ing that they were going back to Bon
ners Ferry on the local train the same
evening, met them and arrested them.
Vogrig and Detective Peygus, of the
Great Northern, came to Newport Fri
day morning, and the detective made a
trip to Bonners Ferry and Scotia in
search of evidence against the men, but
failed to learn anything of Importance
to the case. Prosecutor Reading was
here for the hearing, held before JUS
tice Lusher, but the evidence intro
duced was not considered sufficient to
convict the men and they were released,
although there was little doubt but that
they were guilty.
An attempt was made to get the gov
ernment officers to take up the case
against them on the charge of passing
the bogus money, but they refused to
do it, as attempts have repeatedly been
made to convict on this charge, but
owing to the fact that the Bank of New
Brunswick had really existed at one
time and issued money, the only posi-
BILE charge that could have been made
to stick against them would have been
that of obtaining money on false pre-
tonses, and the exchange having been
made in Idaho was out of the jurisdic-
ton of the local officers.

Town Election on December 9th

The registration books for the moor
porated town of Newport were closed
Wednesday evening, Nov. Is, and will
remain closed until after the town cleo
ton. Town Clerk Shreve reports atotal
registration of PIG, small registration
and showing a lack of interest in local
politics.
Of the PIG voters registered 81 were
ladies, which shows that the women OF
Newport are preparing to exercise their
newly acquired right of franchise. Old
time political methods will have to be
revised in order to handle this new ele-
ment in politics, and the man who knew
the affiliations of all the voters in the
precinct will have to get busy in order
to wise up on the situation.
The only election of the year will be
the municipal election to be held on
Tuesday, Dec. 5. The terms of Mayor
Jones, Councilmen Lusher and Torreson
and Treasurer Bell expire in January,
and these places must be filled at this
election. Up to this time there is no
interest apparent in this election, no
candidates. announced, and it is not
known whether any of those whose
terms expire will be candidates for re-
election.
Holding down town office is thank
less job at best, and it is not to be won
dered at that there is no great scram-
BILE on for the honors. Yet it should be
considered the duty of good citizens to
take an interest in all political matters,
| and an effort should be made to get
good men to serve the town. No criti-
cism is heard of the officers in charge OF
the towns affairs, and it is likely that
all could be reelected without opposi-
ton if they feel disposed to accept.
Mayor Jones is very reluctant to serve
again, but could perhaps be prevailed
upon to give his services for another
