WERE ROYALTY ENTERTAINED
Metalines Scored Hit With In
land Empire Visitors.
Newport Was Well Represented.

The meeting of the Federation of
Commercial Clubs of the Inland Empire
and the Logged-Off Land Congress,
held at Metaline Falls last week, proved
very successful event, although the
attendance was not as large as antici-
paten.
Some of the best men of the Inland
Empire were present and took active
part in the meetings, delivering ad-.
dresses on means of developing this
section, and action was taken toward
securing state and national aid in the
advertising and colonization of the
Northwest.
The two Metalines provided fine
round of entertainment for the visitors.
and are certainly to be congratulated
for their work in making the meeting a
success. 1t was an ambitious under
taking to handle this gathering, and the
two towns have acquitted themselves
admirably and won large measure of
good advertising for themselves and
Pene Oreille county. Jens Jensen, sec
retary of the Metaline Falls CONNER
cial Club, and S. H. Anschell, chairman
of the executive committee of the
Logged-Off Lands Congress, worked
faithfully and untiringly in the interest
of the meeting.
The display of ore from the Metaline
district was one of surprising richness,
and could leave no doubt in the minds
of the visitors that the camp has a
great future before it. Newport showed
an exhibit of products grown on logged
off lands, and photographs of views of
this section and the exhibit came in for
large share of attention. The ranch
ers Of the Metaline country were in
spired by the Newport exhibit to bring
in some of their products for the second
day, and hurriedly assembled a most
creditable showing of vegetables, grains
and grasses.
Newport had about Is representatives.,
leading business men of the town, and
had the largest number from any one
town, with the exception of lone, which
came down on the second day 200 strong
and bringing with them their band.

when considering the sewer propositlon.:
No one pays any assessment on any
part of the sewer into which the sewage
of the individual lot does not eventually
flow.
The payments will be extended over
a period of ten years, Ito and IN
terest to be paid annually, the first
payment falling due when the job IS
completed.
The full amount of the assessment
may be paid at any payment PERIOD and
the interest then stops as far as that
particular individual is concerned.
When the entire sewering OF the town
has been completed, each lot will have
paid practically the same amount for
sewage facilities.
When the entire town is sewerd,
each lot will have paid about $1.25 to
81. so per lineal foot;i. e., $3.50 to $40
for 3O-foot lot and in the same ratio
for wider lots.
The cost of a sewer system can be
measured in dollars and cents, but the
benefits of any public improvement are
measured in public health, advanced
price in property, and the attraction OF
outside capital to city due to the gen.
eral neatness and sanitary condition of
a town.

bundle after it has been cured. without
destroying great many of the leaves
and otherwise detracting from it's value.
In selecting alfalfa and clover it is
advisable, wherever possible, to even
up the ends of the stalks and sort out
some OF the culls while it is yet green.
In this way it is possible to put a very
attractive bundle of alfalfa or clover
and let it cure in the bundle, and ex-
hibit it without losing but very few
OF the leaves. 1t should be tied in
bundles about three inches in diameter
at the base.
Alfalfa stalks with the roots on are
especially attractive for exhibition pur-
poses, as alfalfa has not yet ceased to
be novelty to the eastern people, and
they are always interested to see how it
grows, but only small per cent of the
exhibits should consist of alfalfa with
the roots.
HOW To CURE ALFALFA AND CLOVER.
Before arranging in bundles, spread
out for couple of days in perfectly
dark and ventilated place so that it will
dry enough to prevent molding. After
arranging in bundles hang in the dark
as the light bleaches it out.
1t is always advisable to cure grains
and grasses in the shade, in order to
retain the deep rich color, which it is
impossible to do in the sun. Do not
place in close room where there is no
air circulation, as grain or grasses will
mold before it cures and thereby render
it worthless.
SELECTING VEGETABLES.
In selecting potatoes it is of the
greatest Importance that only smooth
potatoes of good color and as large size
as possible be selected. The finest po-
tato display, however, does not always
consist of the largest potatoes, but
there is nothing that attracts more at
tention at fairs than fine large potatoes.
Packing the apples is of equal impor-
tance, or even of greater Importance,
IS the finest exhibition material is rem
dered practically worthless by being
poorly packed. 1t should always be
kept in mind that exhibition apples are
handled several times before they can
be placed on display, and unless some
special precaution is taken in the way
of extra wrapping each individual ap-
pie or specially strong box, a large
per cent of the apples will be bruised
and damaged so as to render them worth
less for the purpose intended. Wrap
your exhibition apples with at least
three thicknesses of paper.

SEWER MATTERS DISCUSSED.
Engineer Ulrich Explained System
and Expense.
To Be Paid During Term of Years.

The meeting of the town council
Tuesday evening was attended by a
large number of property owners of the
town, as notice had been given that the
proposal to build main trunk sewer
from the outlet into the Pend Oreille
river to Newport avenue and Third
street, and sub-sewer to connect with
same from First and Washington, down
Washington and Fourth street, would
be considered at their meeting.
Opportunity was offered for general
discussion of the plan, and Engineer
Uhrich, of Spokane, was present to make
clear the proposed system. 1t was
found that there was general lack of
understanding of the details of the sys-
tenn, and after considerable discussion
the matter was continued until August
to give property owners an opportun-
ity to inform themselves as to the cost
and other matters connected with the
proposal.
Among other matters discussed was
the building of septic tank to purify
the sewage before it is emptied into the
river, and it is likely that this system
will be adopted.
Engineer Uhrich explained the pro-
posed system and it's cost as follows:
Section l, being that portion from
the river to Newport avenue and Spruce
street.
Section 2, being that portion from
Newport and Spruce to Newport and
Third.
Section 8, being that portion from
Newport and Third to Fourth and Wash
ington.
Section 4, being that portion from
Washington and Fourth to Washington
and First.
The matter of proportioning the cost
of the various sections to the property
would have to be handled in the follow
ing manner.
The cost of Section l, which is ap-
proximately $500, will be assessed to
every lot in town, which will eventually
empty into this portion of the sewer,
and the cost to individual lots will be
