Will Petition for Election

Petitions calling upon the board of
county commissioners to call a local
option election in Bonner county will be
circulated. The first of them will be
taken out right after Christmas.
The petitions will be presented to the
board of commissioners at the April
meeting, and it is expected. if the peti-
tions have the requisite number of pc
titioners, that the election will be called
Wednesday, May 20. The petitions
asking for the local option election will
have to be signed by 40 per cent of the
number of electors voting at the last
general election, and it is estimated
that the petitions thus will have to have
in the neighborhood of 1850 signatures.

financial losses. With the work of
clearing their lands greatly facilitated
by the ravages of the fire, many are
learning that what at first seemed an
irreparable loss will in reality prove a
help to them.
A good movement for the town and
country is the placing of some 30 to 40
families on five and ten-acre tracts on
the bench lands south of town and
across the river. The year 1911 has
seen great strides towards bringing the
Newport country to the front as an ag-
ricultural and horticultural center And
it is but forecast of what the future
will see developed here.

a new era, and those who are partici-
pating in this development will reap the
rewards of their foresight

Report on State Boundary Survey

For the first time since 1873 the line
separating the states of Washington
and Idaho has been surveyed by the
government. Engineers report many
old mileposts and witness trees still
standing, while many have rotted and
disappeared.
In accordance with provision of the
sixtieth congress in the sundry civil
act, the chief geographer of the United
States, R. B. Marshall, has issued a
pamphlet describing the retracement of
the boundary line between Washington
and Idaho, from the junction of the
Snake and Clearwaters to the Interna-
tional Boundary.
The book, in addition to a number of
illustrations showing monuments, wit
ness trees and sections of the country,
contains data on the boundary lines,
original survey, description of opera
tions and description of monuments.
A complete map, showing the bound
ary line between the two states, ac-
companies the pamphlet, which is being
sent out by Congressman w. L. La
Toilette to Washington people.

AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE
Freight Car Damaged On Trans.
fer Track.
Origin of Fire Remains Mystery

About o'clock Tuesday morning a
freight car on the transfer track con-
Meeting the Idaho & Washington North
ern and Great Northern Railroads was
discovered to be on fire and an alarm
was sounded. The temperature at the
time was lowering in the neighborhood
OF IL below zero, as the result of which
the attendance on the fire was below
normal, both as to members of the fire
company and citizens.
The car on fire was of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western system, and
arrived over the Great Northern Sunday
evening, and was at once placed on the
transfer track, it being billed to Rath-
drum, Idaho,' via Newport. 1t was
loaded with so steel ranges, complete
with all fixtures, and came from St.
Louis, Mo.
AS quickly as possible line of hose
was strung from the Miller corner on
Union avenue, the nearest hydrant, and
it was necessary to lay $50 feet of hose
before the fire could be reached. The
flames were in the roof of the car and
the firemen found it difficult to get at
them, it being necessary to cut through
the double zinc lined roof in order to
get water on the fire. 1t took a great
quantity of water to extinguish the fire,
owing to the character of the car con-
struction. When finally extinguished
the upper part of the car was about
half destroyed, the damage to the con-
tents being estimated at about 80 per
cent.
On one side of the burning car was a
carload of merchandise and on the other
about ten cars of cedar poles and white
pine logs. At least SIS, 900 worth of
railroad property was endangered, and
there was no engine in the yards at the
time to haul the cars out of danger.
The prompt action and hard work of
the firemen in saving this property in
the face of bitter cold and unfavorable
working conditions should entitle them
to some appreciation from the railroad
companies Two members of the com
pany, Night Marshal Straight and VIM.

WORKING TO STOP WASTE
State University Men In Useful
investigations.
Idaho Professors Get Assistance

The University of Washington at
Seattle, the Washington State College
at Pullman, and the University Of Idaho
at Moscow, all have trained men at
work endeavoring to find methods to
utilize the waste timber products now
left in the woods on completion OF log
ging operations. The Pullman instltu-
ton will shortly issue an interesting
bulletin on the progress made by its
investigators, the Washington State
University has completed some work on
Douglas fir products, and the Univer-
sity of Idaho has been successful in Sc
curing the cooperation of large timber
owners of the state.
The following from the Standpoint
Review tells of the progress of the
movement in Idaho:
Through the efforts of Prof. Shat
tuck, the head of the forestry depart
ment of the University of Idaho, the
lumbermen of Idaho have subscribed
$58, 900 for the erection of forestry
building at Moscow.
The announcement was made follow
ing a meeting in Spokane Saturday of
the North Idaho Forestry Association.
President MacLean, Dean Carlyle
and DR.. Shattuck, head of the school of
forestry, were present and spoke rela-
tive to the Importance of the work
which this department has done, and
outlined it's future problems and possi-
bilities. The fact that the department
could not hope to properly serve the
vast timber interests of the state with
it's present facilities was very forcibly
brought out.
After due deliberation and discussion
the association voted unanimously to
pro-rate their holdings to the extent of
$58, 900 for the purpose of erecting the
building.
It is the aim of the university au-
thorities to conduct high grade course
in forestry with laboratory courses in
numbering, utilization, etc.. and to
prosecute the work of deriving revenue
in the form of dry-products from what
is now waste.

Effort Should Be Made to Stop Disease

1t has been we'll known that smallpox
has been prevalent to some extent
throughout the town and surrounding
country for more than year. Efforts
to stop the spread of the disease have
been futile, and will continue to be un-
availing until more precaution is taken
by the people who catch the contagion.
Fortunately the disease has been of
such mild form that none of the cases
have been fatal, and in the majority of
cases the indisposition is so slight that
the services of a physician have not
been deemed necessary. From this
fact is due the long continued life of
the disease in this locality. People
who have had the disease in the family,
fearing the inconvenience of quaran-
tine, fail to call physician, and thus
the life of the contagion in the COM
munity is perpetuated.
The rules of the Washington State
Board of Health make it mandatory for
families whose members are afflicted
with skin disease of any description
to call physician that the nature of
the disease may be ascertained and
quarantine established if necessary. A
severe penalty is prescribed for failure
to so report, and this penalty will doubt
less have to be invoked before the
spread of the disease in the community
can be stopped.
To disregard the welfare and health
of. the community by an attempt to
cover up the presence of smallpox, or
any other contagious disease, is a men
ace to the welfare of the public, and it
is the duty of every good citizen to per-
form plain duty, though it involve the
inconvenience of submitting to quaran-
tine regulations. In no other way can
the spread of the contagion be stopped.

School Bonds Authorized

At the election on the question of
bonding the Newport school district,
held on Saturday, 45 votes were cast.
All but one vote favored the issuing of
the bonds.
The bonds thus authorized are to be
issued for the purpose of taking up out
standing warrant indebtedness to the
amount of $1,000. An advertisement by
the county treasurer, offering these
bonds for sale, appears in this issue of
THE MINER. AS soon as the bonds are
sold and warrants to that sum retired,
the school board will call another elec-
tion to take up the remainder of the
outstanding warrants, about $4,000, and
thus put all of the districts indebted
ness in the shape of bonds drawing a
low rate of interest.

1871 IMPROVEMENT RECORD
Newport Has Made Steady and
Substantial Advance.
Trade Territory Is Expanding

The improvement record of Newport
for the year 1911 shows up good not
withstanding the unfavorable business
conditions that exist throughout the
nation and from which the newer parts
of the country naturally suffer the most
During the past year there has been
as much or more steady improvement
in the town of Newport than in any
town of similar size in the Inland En-
pire. Among the substantial improve
ments in the business section have been
the Phillips, Griffith and Johnson build
ings, the second story of the Jacobson
building, the Paine building on the South
Side, the Pend Oreille county Jail
and vault building and the new opera
house erected by C. A. Fielder. All of
these buildings are of brick, concrete
or cement block construction, and have
made a notable addition to the appear
ance of the business section.
In the neighborhood of 20 new dwell
ings have been erected, all of the bet
ter class of homes, which have marked
the improvement of the town the past
three years.
This improvement has been made
during year of marked depression in
the lumber industry, the principal in
dustry of this section. Despite the un-
favorable conditions the prestige of the
town as business center continues to
grow, and as rule Newport business
men are in much better financial condi-
ton than those of surrounding towns.
This steady improvement testifes to
the fact that the Newport country is
arriving at a substantial stage in it's
development, and is not as much depen-
dent on a single industry as in former
years. There is greater interest be-
ing taken in agriculture, dairying and
stock raising, which will be the ulti-
mate great resources of this section.
In the district devastated by the big
forest fire of 1910 the people have, dur
ing the past year, taken hold of the
work of developing the country with
new vigor, have rebuilt their homes and
are recovering from the shock of their

Kirklin, suffered from frozen ears as
the result of their exposure.
The cause of the fire is unknown, and
it is generally presumed to be the work
of tramps seeking refuge from the
weather. The Great Northern has had
a detective endeavoring to trace the
origin of the fire.
The question of which railroad had
the car in custody and is liable for the
damage sustained appears to be in dis
pute. The Idaho & Washington North
ern has refused to accept the car, and
the Great Northern people claim that
placing the car on the joint transfer
track constitutes delivery to the other
road.

Idaho has scarcely begun to utilize
her vast forest resources, and yet over
6O per cent of all the added wealth of
the state, due to manufactures, is now
derived from the forests. The prob
lens confronting the lumbermen need
very careful consideration and can be
worked out only with the aid of scien-
tific investigation.
The lumbermen and timber ownors
OF Idaho have by this liberal action
placed the school of forestry in the
front rank Of schools of this class in our
country.-Sandpoint Review.

In their present form they do not show
anything like the difference between

the price received by the farmer or

most to one hundred per cent on the

it would hc shown that fully one hun

small service rendered, and 1T is to
be observed that New York being on
the seashorc and buying in such large
Quantities, gets even more favorable
rate on the average than do the com
muntties throughout the country.
The lesson of it all is, that some sort
of cooperation will have to be entered
into by the different communities OF
the United States In order to bring the
necessities of life down TO basis
which the people can pay. Co.opera

SPECTACULAR PRICE BOOSTS.

1t is a matter known to everyone
who has taken notice of prices Of
products, and of the variations of cost
at wholesale and at retail. that the
final prices of all articles of merehan'
disc are to the ultimate consumer be-
yond all reason higher than the manu-
facturers' or the wholesalers prices.
This fact was brought out very con-
spicuously by Representative Asher O.:
Hines of Maine, in his speech on the
Canadian reciprocity agreement. The
figures were prepared by President
Yoakum Of the Frisco Railway sys-
tenn, and they show in concise form
"the economic distance between the
farmer and the consumer as jllustrat-
ed in the yearly food bill of New York
City. The statement was made IN
tabular form, as follows:
