Was Known to Many Newport People

At Santa Monica, CAL, on Sunday,
April %, occurred the death of Major
Robert Dollard, a brother-in-law of
Mrs. Lund and Mrs. Bloomer, of New
port. Major Dollard was known to
many Newport people, having on sew
eral occasions visited his relatives in
this city, and had the opportunity to
make numerous friends, who will re-
gret to learn of his passing.
Major Dollard reached the age of 70
years. He was a native of Massachu-
setts and performed valiant service for
his country in the civil war, serving
four years under General Grant, and
suffered severe wound in the head.
Later he was appointed attorney-gen-
eral for Dakota territory, and for many
years he was resident of Scotland, S.
D., taking an active part in the affairs
of the state. The past few years Mr..
and Mrs. Dollard have made their home
at Santa Monica.
The body will be shipped to Scotland,
S. D., for burial, and Mrs. Lund leaves
Saturday, expecting to meet the funeral
party at Ogden, Utah, and accompany
them to Scotland.

.LAUDS PANHANDLE OF, IDAHO
Northern Pacific Expert Reports
On His Investigations.
Bright Future For This Section.

Daniel E. Willard, who is at the head
of the development department of the
Northern Pacific, and who made sew
eral trips to this section last summer,
upon which to base report to the rail-
road company. has filed the same. 1t
is all that could be wished for by Bonner
county, and carried out the words of
praise which Mr.. Willard gave this
country on the occasions of his visits
here, says the Standpoint Review.
Mr.. Willard also visited Pend Oreille
county, and his report applies equally
to this section, which is separated from
Bonner by the state line.
Of the opportunities of the home
seeker and the cost of the land the re-
port says: 'It is not claimed that in
Northern Idaho is the Ell Dorado of
earth. It is not .contended that man
without capital can settle in this re-
gion and easily make for himself a
home. 1t is contended, however, that

are excelled by few if any places in the
United States or the North American
continent. 1t is true the cost of clear
ing and improving the logged-off lands
is considerable. So the cost of build
ing and equipping railroad through a
new and undeveloped country is consid-
cradle. But the question is what is
either worth after the improvementhas
been made. Suppose the cost of clear
ing equals the purchase price of i'm
proved lands in other districts. But if
the timbered lands will produce more
and are more accessible to markets,
and if climatic conditions, including
rainfall and water supply, are superior
land all these are true in comparison
with many districts), then the part of
wisdom may be with the man who casts
his lot in the timbered districts. The

be purchased on easy payments at prices

HAY MAKES Announcement
Stands on Record of His Progress
sive Administration.
National Situation in Turmoil.

Governor M. E. Hay formally opened
his campaign for reelection as governor
OF the state of Washington at ban
quet rendered him by the M. E. Hay Club
of Spokane on Friday last. In his ad-
dress Governor Hay gave a record of
his administration of the past three
years and a half, and enumerated the
various progressive measures that have
been enacted during that period. Among
them are the Workmen's Compensation
Act, Women's Suffrage, eight hour day
for women and coal miners, re-organ-
ization of the Public Utilities Commits
sion, Inauguration of the State Bureau
of Public Inspection. He also outlined
number of further measures that he
favors, and if elected will do all in his
power to write on the statute books,
among them being constitutional
amendment to make possible better
system of general taxation.
The candidacy of Governor Hay is
meeting with approval throughout the
state. The Governor has made one of
the very best executives that the state
has had, and his administration meets
with especial favor because it has been
conducted by capable business man
on business principles. That he will be
nominated and elected by large MAORI
ties seems to be the prevailing opinion
in all parts of the state.
There is not yet any great interest in
the county convention to he held next
Tuesday, May 7. The proposal that the
state convention go uninstructed meets
with quite general approval and it is
very likely that this plan will be adopted.
In local politics there is not much do
ing, except in the line of candidates for
county commissioner. This is perhaps
due to the fact that it is expected that
all the county officers will be candidates
for reelection except that Commission
ers Sutherland and Atherton have an
nounced that they would not be candi-
dates. Commissioner Mathews has not
made positive announcement regard
ing his course of action, but II is known

Change of Firm Name

Owing to the retirement of David
Caldwell from the firm, which took
place last winter, change has been
made in the firm name of Caldwell
Clothing Company, and that place of
business now sails under the name of
S. J. Appleman & Co. Mr.. Appleman
has been connected with the business
since it's inception, and has had active
management since Mr.. Caldwell took
charge of the lone store two years ago.
Occupying one of the finest retail
stores in Northeastern Washington, and
carrying complete lines of the best
goods in mems clothing and furnishings,
S. J. Appleman & Co. are conducting a
store which this community may well
be proud of.

To MEET At METAL|NE FALLS
Federated Clubs of Inland EN-
pire to Come.
Will Have Large Attendance.

The down-river towns of Metallne
Falls and Metaline will have the honor
of entertaining the next meeting OF the
Federated Clubs of the Inland Empire.
The exact date of the meeting has not
vet been announced, but it will be held
within three months, which would bring
it about the middle of July.
In connection with the meeting of the
Federated Clubs there will also be held
meeting of the Logged-Off Lands
Congress, of whose executive committee
S. II. Anschell, of Metaline, is mem
Der. The two gatherings will bring to
the down river towns large number
of people from all parts of the Inland
Empire, and the Metaline country, as
well as all of Pend Oreille county, will
profit by the resultant advertising for
this section.
Mr.. Anschell is entitled to all the
credit for securing these meetings for
the Pend Oreille county towns. Hewas
the only man from this section present
at the late meeting at Rosalia, and had
to combat six other towns, which de-
sired to secure the meetings. Mr.. An
schell has been very active in the work
of exploiting the logged-off lands of the
Inland Empire, and is one of a commit
tee which is working hard to devise
means of securing state and federal aid
for the clearing of these lands.
Up to this time Newport and the
other Pend Oreille county towns have
not taken great interest in the work
of the Federated Clubs, but now that
their meeting is to be held in this county
we should be represented in July. Each
community should strive to do it's part
toward making favorable impression
for the county on the minds of each in
dividual in attendance on the meeting.
Let us impress them with the idea that
we have the richest diversified industry
section of the Inland Empire.
In connection with the matter of
clearing logged-of lands, it has been
shown that there are in the state some
80, 900 acres of school lands from which
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-05-02
an acre, exclusive of buildings and live

an acre. exclusive of buildings and live
stock.
In general the cost of cutting second
growth timber, burning the brush and
fallen logs, removing and burning the
stumps and ploughing the land. where
all the work is done by hired labor or
contract, will be from $25 to $lOO per
acre. Some lands can be cleared for
less than the lower of these figures, and
some exceptionally hard clearing Will
cost more than the higher figures. The
lands that are hardest to clear are,
however, generally exceptionally pro-
ductive and valuable when cleared.
One acre of land near Bonners Ferry
was cleared and improved at cost of
$3.50, and the next year there was sold
off this acre celery to the amount of
more than $1,000.
Things cost generally something in
proportion to what they are worth, and
things are worth under fair appraise-
ment something in proportion to what
they cost. A man who is looking for a
sinecure in agriculture should not go
into the timbered districts. But the
man who has good health and a little
capital, good grit and common sense and
faith in himself, in his neighbor, and in
the land as the supporter of us all, can
succeed in Northern Idaho. The op-
portunity is now open. It will not al
ways last. There is only one crop of
land and that crop is rapidly being har-
vested 1t is good time now to get
in the field. There is only one crop of
stumps to be removed. The fact that
the stumps are there is evidence of the
strength of the soil.

that he would prefer to retire from
office.
There is quite crop of candidates
for sheriff. The present incumbent will
try for reelection, and in addition a
number of others are considering enter
ing the race. Among those who may
enter are: Marshal Jenne, of Newport;
j. w. Everett, of Dalkena; j. w. Gu
sick, of Cusick; Sam Hanson, of Blue
slide
In national politics turmoil continues.
President Taft CARRIED the Massachu-
setts primaries with vote of 74,8O8,
against 71,153 for Roosevelt and 1756
or LaFollette. There is growing
conviction that the national convention
will turn from both Roosevelt and Taft,
and endeavor to find candidate, who
will be able to muster the party strength
at the polls.
Roosevelt is practically assured of the
King and Spokane county delegations
in this state, but there will be con-
tested delegation from King, and a
number of the smaller counties are lin
ing up with Taft, SO that the control of
the state is problematical.
According to the Spokesman-Review
of this date, the standing of the vari-
Gus candidates in the national race is as
follows: Roosevelt, 297; Taft, 260; La
Toilette, Sc; uninstructed, 27; contested,
140. This includes the Massachusetts
result, which gives 26 to Taft and 10 to
Roosevelt.
Democrats in national politics are not
without their troubles. Wilson ap-
pears to be in the lead, but it seems
very likely that the allies against him
will be able to prevent his nomination.
In case the Democrats fail to nominate
on the first ballot, there is strong
possibility that Bryan may again be the
standard-bearer of the party.
Local delegates to the state Demo-
cratic convention at Walla Walla will
leave Saturday, so as to be on the battle
ground early. There appears to be
lively fight between the Clark and Will
son followers for the control of the
state delegation, both sides claiming a
victory.
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-05-02

the timber has been sold and the time
for removal of the timber has expired.
These lands should be placed on the
market, and in subdivisions of not
more than 40 acres, SO that spectators
cannot profit by holding large areas
from improvement. The Eastern
Washington counties have areas of this
land as follows:
