HIGH SCHOOLS WILL DEBATE.
Newport and Hillyard Will Argue
About Conservation.
Local Team Has Been Chosen

Last Tuesday afternoon in the High
School auditorium was held the prelim-
mary contest for the purpose of select
ing three debaters, who are to repre-
sent the Newport High School in the
annual debate for accredited schools,
which takes place at Hillyard on Novem-
Der 10 with the Hillyard High School.
The question to be debated this year by
the different high schools throughout
the state is: Resolved, That the con-
servation of our natural resources
should be function of the state, rather
than the national government.
There were six pupils who signifed
their intention of competing for place
on the team that will go to Hillyard to
debate the above question with that
school. Thse pupils were Ester Powell,
William Moeser, Lena Sherman, Mar
garet Sutherland, Lucille Williams and
Edward Kelly, all of the junior class.
Two weeks ago lots were drawn to de-
termine on which side of the question
each pupil should debate, with the fol-
lowing result:
Affirmative-W William Moeser, Lena
Sherman, Margaret Sutherland.
Negative-Ester Powell, Edward
Kelly, Lucille Williams.
After having had only two weeks to
prepare their respective debates, the
debaters decided upon Tuesday, October
81 as the date for the preliminary bout.
The debate was begun at o'clock with
the following persons acting as judges
Rev. Whitman, E. S. Appel and Fred
Stevens. Each speaker was allowed IL
minutes debate with a three-minute re,
buttal. The question was very credit
ably handled by the respective debat-
ers, exhibiting the fact that very much
time and thought had been devoted ir
preparation. At 4:20 the debate was
concluded and the judges withdrew te
make their selection of the ''lucky
three" E. S. Appel, in announcing the
decision of the judges, took occasion tt
commend each of the participants fol
the capable manner in which this mo
mentous question was treated. He an
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1911-11-02

nounced the judges decision as follows:
Margaret Sutherland, affirmative; Will
lam Moeser, affirmative, and Lucille
Williams, negative The system of
grading was based upon augmentation
and delivery, three-fourths of the credit
being given for augmentation, and
one-fourth for delivery, the selection
being made irrespective of the side of
question each pupil debated The judges
further decided that, taking everything
into consideration, the affirmative had
established their side of the question
little better than the negative, and that
the debate was decided in favor of the
affirmative, honorable mention, how
ever, being due to every one of the
participants.
The three winning debaters selected
from Tuesdays preliminary contest
will now get together and work up the
negative side of the question, as this is
the side of the question that Newport
will defend against Hillyard on Friday
evening, Nov. 10, at the latter city.
Considering the commendable manner
in which these young people of New
port acquitted themselves last Tuesday
afternoon, the people of Newport have
every reason to hope for favorable re-
suits when the above teams clash for
final hOnOrs.

By reason of the growth of the state
in population during the ten years pre-
ceding the last federal census Washing
ton will have two more congressman
after the next general election. The
Republican party of the state has gained
four delegates to the national conven-
ton, to be held next year for the pur-
pose of nominating presidential can

Seven states in the Union will hold
elections this year, all but one of them
on Nov. 7. While this is an off year as
far as national politics are concerned,
the results will be anxiously watched
for, as indicating the way the national
election may be expected to go next
year.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
Workers of Pend Oreille County
in First Annual Convention.
A Helpful and Instructive Meeting.

The first annual Sunday school con-
vention of Pend Oreille county, held at
Newport this week, proved success
in every way and an inspiration to the
Sunday school workers of the new
county.
The convention was opened Monday
afternoon by Missionary Superintendent
Rev. A M. McClain, of Spokane. Mr..
E. c. Knapp, district superintendent;
then took charge Of the work of the
convention, and organization was per-
fected by the election of w. C. Erwin,
Newport, president, and Miss Essie
Smith, of Usk, as secretary.
Average attendance of the Sunday
schools of the county was reported as
follows: Newport Baptist, 80; Newport
Congregational, rs; Newport Methodist,
lis; lone, so; Cusick, 25; Usk, %; Met
aline Falls, 80.
For the evening session parade Of
delegates and Sunday school scholars
was held from the Congregational church
to the Methodist church, the procession
being headed by the Newport band and
with about 300 people in line. The
Methodist church, where all meetings
of the session were held, was crowded
to the doors, and an interesting address
was given by Mr.. McClain to the child
rem, after which Mr.. Knapp reported
the recent San Francisco convention.
Resolution and nominating committees
were appointed, after which the con-
vention adjourned until Tuesday morn
ing.
At the Tuesday morning session Mrs

of the session, holding a Round Table

Superior Court Adjourned

Superior Court session adjourned Fri
day evening, after the jury in the case
of w, F. Knight VS.. the Panhandle
Lumber Co. had returned it's verdict.
The jury found in favor Of the defend
ant, and poll of the jury revealed the
fact that two of the twelve jurors did
not coincide with the verdict. In cases
of this character an agreement of ten
out of twelve is sufficient to return a
verdict. Attorneys for the plaintiff
made a motion for new trial and asked
leave for ten days time in which to file
afidavits relative to alleged misconduct
of jurors The time in which to file
this affidavit expires on next Tuesday.
In the case of Jas. Cleland VS.. the
Fidelity Lumber Co., in which the jury
returned verdict for the plaintiff in
the sum of $500, attorneys for the de-
fendant company have filed motion
asking the court to set aside the verdict
of the jury.
Reuben Green, the colored man, SEN
fenced to five years in the penitentiary
for assault in the first degree, is still
confined in the local Jail, Judge Carey
having given orders to hold the prisoner
here until further instructions were re-
ceived.
The next Law day will be held on
Tuesday, Nov. 7, Judge Miller, of Day
ton, presiding, as Judge Carey will be
busy holding jury term at Colville.
Eight equity cases will come before
this session, which will continue several
days. The Newport water warrant
case is set for hearing on Nov. 10.

ASK LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Progressives Attempting to Get
Control Of State Delegation.
Would Mean a Special Election

The Progressive Republican Leagues
of the state are making it warm for
Governor Hay these in an effort to
induce the Governor to call a special
session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of considering the passage Of a bill
which will authorize a primary election
for the selection of delegates to the
National Republican convention.
The hope of the Progressives is that
by this means they will be able to Sc
cure the Washington delegation for
Robt. M. LaFollette for president, they
believing that the Progressive move
ment is strong enough to carry the pri-
mary, but that it could not control a
convention.
Governor Hay fears that if a special
session were convened, the legislature
would not be satisfied with the enact
ment of a special primary law, but
would dip into the important road ques-
ton, new tax legislation, re-apportion-
ment and whole run of other PROPOSE
tions. And from the actions of legisla-
lures in the past it appears that the
Governors fears are we'll founded.
At this time an effort is being made
to put on record majority Of the leg
islators as opposed to the considering of
any other matter than the primary
should the Governor consent to call the
special session. Petitions asking the
special session are being circulated
throughout the state.
Pend Oreille county is particularly in
terested in the probability of special
session, for the reason that if the ses-
sion is called our new county would be
up against the necessity of holding a
special election to name representa-
tive in the House. At present the
county has no member of the lower
house of the legislature, as Represen-
tative Appleman's term expired when
the new county came into existence.
1t would mean an expensive election
for the new county should the Governor

The recommendations of the nominat-
ing committee were unanimously adopt-
ed and the officers declared elected.
The Tuesday evening session closed
the convention after the adoption of the
resolutions, thanking the Newport band
for It's services, the M. E. church and
pastor for housing the convention, the
Newport ladies for their hospitable en-
tertalnment of the delegates, and the
city of Newport for it's open door.
Thanks were also extended to Prof. and
Mrs. Knapp, Rev. McClain and Rev. Stev-
ems, of Spokane, for their helpful pres
ence and assistance.
1t was further resolved that the dele
gates use their best efforts and urge
every schoolin the county to be a 'sFront
Line school for 1912, and to do their
best to make Pend Oreille county a
Front Line'' county.

POTATOES

About two weeks ago a party,
including two professors of the
State Agricultural college, made a
tour Of inspection to the potato
fields in this part of the valley.
The worst field Of wilt which was
examined was that of John w.
Shaft, west of the Experimental
station. This field along the road
showed considerable wilt. We'd
nesday Mr.. Shaft and one of his
neighbors made an examination of
the field and it was surprising to
see how the tubers had grown dur
ing the last two weeks. 1t now
looks as If the whole field would
average l5O sacks to the acre, in

The indications now are that
there will be about an average

and the acreage is much larger
than il ever has been. This means
about 5000 car loads for shipment
from the wiley.

PROFITABLE FARMING

wilt to discourage the San Luis
valley ranchman. He has this
year learned the Importance of
having the best seed that can be
had and at reasonable prices. This
requires that he should get into
the market early. In this day
manufacturers produce goods most
ly on orders. This, to some ex-
tent applies to providing seed pc.
tatoes. Where q potato grower
has orders ahead for seed he will
be more careful in the selection
and care of them and not feed
them to hogs.
Hence the ranchmen should
organize at once before harvest,
and contract at least ten car loads
of Wisconsin seed direct from the
growers. The ranchlnen fully
realize the mistakes that were made
last spring when they had to take
the leavings from Greeley and
other places.
Successful farming requires good
business methods in order to sue
coed, the same a. in any other
business.
What is true Of potato culture
applies as we'll to peas.
Mrs. j. T. Wells this week met
with very serious and painful
accident at her home two miles
east of Monte Vista. Her eldest
son had come home from Nebraska
to spend his vacation and had pre-

gun. In his delight, the little boy
was trying it and showed It 10 his
father. Mr.. Wells bade the boy
put the gun away aud turned to
talk to Mrs. Wells, who was stand
ing in the yard. The boy attempt
ed to put the hammer of the gun
down, and discharged it, the
bullet entering the foot Of Mrs.
Wells. DR.. Trueblood was called
and dressed the wound which he
reports is doing nicely.
