ON the fact that settlement has been
arrived at without the necessity of ex-
pensive litigation, such as occurred in
other cases of county division in recent
years. notably Douglas and Grant coun-
ties, which have been in the courts about
their settlement for oyer two years.
The cost of starting out the new coun-
ty. including the cost of all equipment.
record books, furniture. Jail. vault. steel
cells, court room furniture, etc., and the
transcribing of the records will run be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. This will
make the Indebtedness of the new coun-
ty about $llO, 900. very good compare
tive showing with other counties and
municipalities in the Northwest, and
only about 2 Is per cent of the total as
sessed valuation of the new county.

We OWE STEVENS $4,000
Settlement Between Stevens and
Pend Oreille Completed.
Commissioners Sign Agreement

The settlement between the counties
Of Stevens and Pend Oreille, which the
auditors of the two counties have been
working on the past ten days, was COM
pleted at noon today and an agr cement
signed up by the Boards of Commission
srs of the two counties.
By the terms of this settlement Pend
Oreille county owes to Stevens county,
in round numbers, the sum of $81 900.
This sum represents Pend Oreille's pro-
portion of the bonded and outstanding
warrant indebtedness of the parent
county of Stevens, including all road dis
trict and other indebtedness, after al
lowance had been made for the value of
the personal property remaining in the
possession of Stevens county and cash
on hand.
The agreement covering the terms of
settlement between the two Boards of
Commissioners covers % pages of type
written copy, and it is impossible to give
further synopsis of the agreement be-
fore next week. The information re-
earding the settlement was received by
THE MINER by telephone from Commis-
sioner Mathews this afternoon.
By the terms of the agreement Pend
Oreille county will issue to Stevens
county warrants to the sum of $8l 900,
bearing interest at 8 per cent. AS the
bonded Indebtedness bears only Al per
cent interest, allowance for the differ
ence in interest was made in the settle
ment. By the terms of the settlement
Pend Oreille county is guaranteed against
the bonds issued by Stevens county prior
to the division.
In making the settlement Auditor
Murray, of Pend Oreille, and Auditor
Jesseph, of Stevens, were assisted by
Frank M. Spain, ex-auditor of Yakima
county. The Pend Orellle Board oi
Commissioners went to Colville Tues
day to look over and approve the settle.
ment. In talking to The MINER, Mr.
Mathews stated that the board consid-
cred the settlement very fair, and that
it was arrived at without any difficulty
or serious disagreement.
Both counties are to be congratulated

READY FOR SCHOOL OPENING
Corps of Teachers Is About
Completed.
Plenty of School Room Provided.

The Newport schools will open for
their years work on Tuesday, Sept 5.
Inc board has secured strong corps of
teachers and are looking forward to
good and successful years work.
Prof. Leo FL. King, who is we'll known
to the people of this community for his
long and efficient work in the Newport
schools, will again head the list of teach
ers as superintendent, and will have
charge of the science classes in the high
school. Mrs. King. who successfully
taught German and Latin in our schools
TWO wears ago, has been retained to fill
her former position. Miss Ellis, who
is a graduate of the University of Michi-
gan at Ann Arbor, and who taught in
our fourth grade last year, has been
promoted to the high school, where she
will teach history and English. Miss
Pratt, who is graduate of the Bridge

timee that she has been here she has
been elected at both Tacoma and Seattle.
but declined both positions to take up
the work in Newport.
The grade teachers will be the same
as last year, excepting one new teacher,
who will take the place of Miss Ellis in
the fourth grade. The board has sew
eral applicants for this position, but has
not definitely decided which will be re-
tanned. Among the grade teachers are
Miss Madge Bailey, Miss Jones, Miss
Rebecca Bailey, Miss Maud Smith and
Miss Jeffry.
There will be three rooms, aside from
the main building, which will provide
ample room for the high school and all
of the grades.
Newport has the only accredited high
school in the new county. and offers an
excellent course in languages, history.

death of Henry Keller. one of the pion-
eer residents OF this section Mr.. Keller

health suffering from heart trouble.
Saturday evening he retired in his usual

passed away without struggle.
Henry Keller was born in Jefferson

new country.
In 1872 he was married to Margaret
Happier. Three children were boln to
them, Bertha L. Pease, Roy H. Keller
and Nina, OF whom all but the last

man in the Calispel had no enemies it
was Keller" He was charter membe

ORGANIZED THE COMMITTEE
Republican Committeeman Gel
Together at Newport.
E. S. Appel Elected Chairman

The first step in the political history
of the new county of Pend Oreille was
taken Tuesday, when the Republican
precinct committeeman met and per-
fected their organization by the election
of E. S. Appel, of Newport, as chairman.
The meeting was called by Charles
Adams. chairman of the Stevens county
central committee, under whose iuris-
diction the new county had been prior
to the division. Mr.. Adams was una BILE
to be present. but sent the following
communication to the meeting:
81 take advantage of this opportunity
to express mysregret at being unable to
meet with you in Newport, and sim
cerely trust that the organization of the
Pend Oreille committee may be brought
about harmoniously and with the best
of good feeling prevailing, for upon these
features will depend very largely the
success of the party in the first election
to be held in your county in 1912.
also hope that the organization will find
it convenient to work in close harmony
with that Of Stevens county, as many Of
our interests are closely allied, and we
can be of mutual benefit to each other
along many lines. also beg to express
to the precinct committeeman of Pend
Oreille county my sincere appreciation
for the good work they have done in the
past, and the personal courtesies they
have shown me in connection Herewith,
and it ls a matter of deep personal re-
gret to myself that the pleasant rela-
tions heretofore existing cannot be con-
tinued in like capacity, though l am
heartily in sympathy with the organiza-
ton of the new county, and believe it
will tend greatly toward the develop
ment of your section, and is by far the
wise and progressive step to take at thi 8
time, and | believe that the lack
of opposition on the part of
the parent county throughout the
last legislature is evidence that
as whole we are heartily in sympathy
with and approve of the establishing of
Pend Oreille county, and the further as
surance that pleasant relations should

Mr.. Adams being unable to be present

the town of Newport as mayor and in
various other capacities, and is always

the promotion of harmony and good
work for the organization no happier
choice could have been made.
For state committeeman there was hut
one nomination, F. A. Purchase, of Gu
sick. Mr.. Purchase is one of the we'll
known residents of the county. and will
represent the new county on the state
committee in an acceptable manner.

committee in the hands of the newly
elected chairman. and adjourned after
voting resolution of thanks to Charles
Adams, of Colville, for the interest shown
in the new organization, and an appre-
citation of his services to the party in the
past.

an efficient working organization, and
the harmony attending the first meeting
of the county committee promises we'll
for the success of the party in the new
county.

Fats Get the Second Game

The second test of baseball strength
between the Fats and Leans was won hy
the big fellows in a hotly contested
struggle that went ten innings. The
final score was to 6.
Sheldon and Jones constituted the
battery for the Fats, and Johansen,
Mooney and Nelson for the Leans. Shell
don had little the best of the argu-
ment and permitted the Leans to score
in but two innings. The fifth inning
came near being fatal to the Fats, as the
Leans punched couple of hits and with
the assistance of errors got in five runs.
The Fats won out in the tenth, when
Charlie Martin offered himself up as q
sacrifice and got hit by pitched ball.
A couple OF timely hits helped him
around to home and won the game.
There was enough rag chewing about
the umpire and some other points of the
game to keep the interest at a high
pitch. Also there was some pretty good
ball playing for bunch OF fellows that
have not been in harness for some time
Each team has now won game and
the deciding struggle will take place next
Sunday. The question OF supremacy is
getting to be quite serious matter be-
tween the two teams and hot fight may
be looked for.

Commissioners Told That Schools
Are Depleted by Picture Shows.

Commissioner Rudolph began today an
inquiry TO ascertain the exact situation
regarding the criticism that moving pic

and Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis made COM
plants against the character OF certain

photo plays, the Commissioners said
they would take proper action if they
could get accurate facts on the subject.

stay away from their classes In the
